Doesn't using Facebook, twitter and Wiki on the same day count? Should at least get you a discount on your first fly pole.Well lets see if I have followed jccady correctly. I will throw away my mask and not social distance and not get a vaccination I have rights that supersede yours and vaccs. are basically a conspiracy and will kill me as the side effects kill people.
Well "Dr. Cady" please list your credentials for all to see! Or are all your posts just blathering opinions!
Informed opinions are one thing when all sides have been critically analyzed and evaluated as that is "science"! Where as you cherry pick your data and that is not science that you tout. That is personal bias and basically BS with a persona agenda.

You are correct, the virus is smaller than the pores in the masks, however, the virus is not alone, it hitches a ride with respiratory droplets. Masks help block the expulsion of the vapor droplets from from an infected individual and help block inhalation; thus, greatly reducing the overall transmission efficiency.Just as a heads up/thought/consideration...not-anti-masker. We have larger dogs. They are furry Pups and I groom them regularly as I have allergies. I am also the chief vacuum operator. I had an ample supply of N-95 masks from a tile removal project. I ran out; and, purchased KN-95 masks. I can smell the dog dander at 2.5 microns with a KN-95 mask; and, allergy symptoms were notably increased. Virus is .06-.14 microns.
Edit: I did find one article that sighted virus size of less than .01.

I haven’t read this whole thread but could this new guy ’cady’ be the dude that was over here saying he was a doctor and getting into it with i think @Matt Paluch ? Spey Spaz i think was the name.Well lets see if I have followed jccady correctly.

This is the reality of it. My Mother in law, unfortunately thinks these masks are wonder women's cape and refuses to curtail any of her activities at eighty years old.. Masks do slow the spread for sure but getting in a fight with the few people not wearing them is stroking ones emotions and is not going to change how this crap spreads.Just as a heads up/thought/consideration...not-anti-masker.

Virus iappears to be usually considered .06-.14 microns.

It’s ridiculous and infathomable to me that the mask wearing has become such a hot political issue and I believe if Trump from day one came out as an advocate for mask wearing and wore one everywhere he went we wouldn’t be debating something so stupid as to wear one or not to wear one.
Funny you mention that. The flu numbers this season are way over on the low end of the scale. Wonder why that is?I wear a mask as does my wife.
With that said, many people are fearful that the gov't will abuse this power. Look at some of the governors and unconstitutional mandates. Hell, even in this thread people are stating "I hope this doesn't become permanent."
Now we can dismiss them as being dramatic but once you hand the gov't that kind of power it can be hard to reclaim.
I'm old enough to remember the flu. After we get through COVID, can masks be justified for that?

And gave us a pandemic. I wanna trade back!Trump cured the flu!![]()
Wasn't just Republicans. Democrat Pramila Jayapal, who recently tested positive for COVID, was quick to blame Republicans who were not wearing masks while they were hunkered down. Thing is, there is video that shows she wasn't wearing one either.Republicans refused to wear masks when they were hunkered down last week. Now three senators have covid-19.
Even the dozen or more Millennials I saw back in June at the packed Lena Lake/Brothers Trailhead parking lot milling around together unmasked? On top of having to wear a "scarlet letter" for being anti-mask dummies, they'd be (probably falsely) labeled as being Trump supporters??? Oh the horror!!!My tongue in cheek solution (Disclaimer: of course i don’t really mean this) i said that it would be fine with me if the anti maskers, who pride themselves on being superspreaders, all got a MAGA tattoo across their forehead. This would allow them to move freely everywhere without being required to wear one.
