Covid- 19 - Second wave

[NoSavingByTheBell]

It's because people are wearing masks

then why aren't the masks stopping covid cases??

They largely are, when worn.

The CDC's recent study doesn't fill me with much hope about it. 85% of cases (in their study) come from people who wore their masks consistently.


Sweden has taken a good approach to this.

Are Covid aerosol bearing particles bigger than fart particles, because you can smell a fart through a pair of pants and a pair of jeans?

That's arguably more protection than a single layer mask, but it still gets through.

More importantly, can you therefore catch Covid from farts?

Nah, they’re not really. And that’s not really why we’re being asked to wear them. Masks don’t stop you catching Covid, but they might stop you passing it on.
You’re playing into @TIC’s hands here, because he could say since more people have worn masks, there have been more cases.
For example , in the UK, Masks are mandatory indoors, yet there are over DOUBLE the daily amount of cases that there were at the “peak” in the summer.
Masks are just one very small part in battling this. Most fuckers don’t even know how to wear them.

i do see that side of it, I do, but imagine how many more people wouldve been infected had nobody ever, anywhere, worn masks at all.

I’m not saying don’t wear them. I’m just saying there’s a hell of a lot more we can be doing. Most important things are hygiene and distancing. Too many people in the 21st century go to too many places, and have contact with too many people.and that falls right into Covid’s trap.

absolutely. Masks are only part of the whole. Too much going and visiting and contact, its true, agreed as well. But when Im in Aldi's, and 3 people are arguing with each other loudly, 2 of them with their masks off, 10 feet ahead of me, and the other with the mask pulled down off their nose and barely covering their mouth, and I have to walk thru that narrow aisle between them, I am sure as hell glad Im wearing my mask. Plus I hold my breath before I approach them and then keep holding it for another 15 feet after I pass them. I even squint my eyes to the point of almost not being able to see where Im walking as I pass thru their spit cloud of germs. I mean they are there without masks talking angrily loudly and arguing amongst themselves, spraying that shit all over the place, up into the air, laughing, yelling, coughing, and at that point, I dont think much about how big or small the pores on a mask are, Im just glad to have one on.

This is mother fucking nature babes. This is a virus. They are very very good at doing what they do. Did anyone ever read that science paper than humans are a virus on the planet. Be smart, take precautions, but all you gotta do is rub your face wrong and you got it. Who knows maybe it was partly man made. We will probably never know. Herd immunity, a vaccine or the slow die off of the virus which happens, they don’t know why but it happens. That is pretty much it. At 9:18am I took someone to a covid test again. Wtf if he was positive I’d be either sick or not. I’m not blaming anyone it’s a fucking virus. It’s fucking life. This is life. There is all kinds of shit that can kill me everyday. Maybe it’s actually russian disinformation

how terrible that people are acting of their own free will. i mean acting like free people, who do they think they are?

You can't prove people have free will. There is no proof and in fact everything has already been predetermined. Determinism is what you are seeing. Free will is an illusion.

Can you prove farts exist or are they a shared illusion? Especially SBD's

One man’s freedom is another Man’s incarceration. I think you’re being naive if you don’t think that we’re only as free as we are allowed to be.

Yes, nobody much is really free - especially those who Witter on about it all the time. Especially Junior.

Money and religion exist in lots of places. They are both systems of control and bondage/servitude. Inevitable consequences also limit 'freedom' as do social and cultural norms.

I live in the UK, supposedly one of the 'free-est' countries in the world .... but I can't stroll over to my neighbours house, kill him and take his car if I want to.

Nice car, though. It's his leaf blower I have my eyes upon.

I might release a small amount of fart vapour through his letterbox and see what happens.
