Covid- 19 - Second wave

[SlimTrae]

Wearing masks in shops will become compulsory in the U.K. Next week.

As far as I understand, and I'm quite happy to be corrected with some real science, viruses (being living organisms) require water to survive.

The most common way that airborne viruses spread is within water droplets or aerosols expelled by infected people or animals. Not all, of course, because a very small sized virus can also survive for a short while on its own and not floating in water - presumably it could penetrate a mask more easily too. That is a smaller risk as the virus dies much more quickly.

A mask which prevents most of these water particles from being ingested will reduce the risk of being infected. REDUCE not PREVENT, as these particles will eventually penetrate most masks, can reach the eyes anyway, or can actually survive on the mask itself for some time.

So, I don't believe that wearing a mask will prevent infection, but it's likely to reduce the risk somewhat.

Actually, its more about other people than what I think anyway. If other people would feel more relaxed if I was wearing a mask in a shop, then I will wear one. That's just politeness and a bit of concern for others, isn't it?

I agree masks REDUCE not PREVENT. But I am still miffed at how neither Republicans nor Democrats seem to gauge just where does testing fits in. We can wear masks until 2023, but it wont change the fact that there is a supposed virus that can hide itself on a healthy person? Healthy people are now transmitters? I wonder for how long. It was quite a while for the 1st case to result in a death- Jan 5th? and it took how long for someone weak enough to succumb, how many other healthy people contracted it. And took it with them- like a lady I saw one day on a bus, when I was a teenager; she opened her purse to pay I was behind her and out scurried a roach...looking for a ride to infect someone else domain, but I digress!

The few times I have had the flu (3 or 4) I knew within a day or two. At best, I'd catch a cold. At worst, those few times I came down with it- i knew it within days. 3 days, worst flu for me lasted over a week.

I do wonder if science has documented that a person can be asymptomatic with the flu?

Has anyone ever been a carrier of the flu for 2 weeks-without knowing? Then those they came across for that duration -whose immune system couldn't fight it off, then became recipients of said flu?
That is what stumps me on those who claimed it is just like the flu.
Two different opinions coming from the White House. When I saw Dr. Fauci being asked a question and the POTUS interrupted him and said - He already answered the question. I turned the channel. IMO Ron Paul was right in 2016. Trump wants to be the boss, but true constitutionalist say the People are the boss.
Well if a person stops their own doctor from speaking, that in itself speaks volumes.

Soooooooooo..... masks dont do shit. OK.. Got it.


Still waiting for someone on THAT trainwreck of a perspective to tell us all, pray do tell, why THE COUNTRY that poo-poos masks more than ANY other comparably-populated country on Earth HAS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS MORE INFECTIONS AND DEATHS than anywhere else that DOES wear masks diligently.

because it's all a fabricated plan. new york & hong kong are comparable, shall we compare them to see the bullshit?

there would be no division over mask wearing or social distancing if the official story was true. everybody would know there was a real threat & they would all do it voluntarily to protect themselves. this is an artificially created non-crisis. so there is push back
