Vox.com: "Oh, and face masks? You can pass on them. Masks are only useful if you have a respiratory infection already and want to limit the risk of spreading, or if you're working in a hospital in direct contact with people who have respiratory illnesses."

That's the whole point.

You can be spreading the virus before you are showing symptoms.

The mask is to keep YOU from making OTHERS sick, not to protect YOU.

THEIR mask is to protect YOU.

How hard is this? If everyone wore a mask, we'd have been done with this a long time ago.

    Believe what you want to believe. I respond with real quotes and real information. People who do not change their opinion based on empirical evidence are not operating in the same reality that I am. Have fun with that.

    The PCR test is bunk, masks are only worth a damn if you wear gloves with them and properly dispose/replace them. Nobody will change the data to match reality, they keep using shitty data as an excuse for the lockdowns and how effective/ineffective they are. Nobody knows for sure, because there is no public debate occurring between the experts. GovCorp is just running with this ball.

    Nobody wears gloves, few people take care of their masks the way doctors would. Even if everyone wore a mask, the infection would still spread (that is, if this were an actual plague). You live in la-la-land.

    So... if the USA isn't wearing masks and they have the virus real bad, how do you explain other countries such as New Zealand and South Korea which utterly nailed their pandemic response? The outcome of the US's response is on par to not having a response at all. The leadership was actively working against what we know from science. And the outcome is hundreds of thousands dead. How come we didn't see that in South Korea? They have a much higher population density. If all things were equal, it should have taken off like wildfire in places like this. Other countries had a serious response to the pandemic (after some bad starts like in Italy). The US STILL doesn't have a good response.

    I don't expect that you will respond to the content of my question. Have fun believing what you want to believe.

    I would say either because the non-tv personality doctors there are doing their jobs and are properly treating people (NZ) or because the people who own those countries (China, South Korea) are playing into their role of being "prime examples of how to properly lockdown and employ safety measures". There is no actual pandemic. So these places are just reporting things as usual for one reason or another, instead of how things are in the US, where this is being used to strip us of our fundamental freedoms.

    You are a sheep, yetanotherone_sigh. Even your username points to you being an astro-turfer, or at least, an unwitting shill for the GovCorp.

    Wait a minute. You responded to my thread above. Your grandfather died and you still don't think there is a pandemic? What about the refrigerator trucks of bodies in NYC that still haven't been buried? 400,000+ and counting.

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (11 children)

    Show me pictures of the refrigerator trucks full of bodies. Show me so many pictures that I cannot argue it with you. Bury me in pictures.

    My grandfather died of a cold, and they wouldn't let us in to see him. Fuck you.

    Not my job to do homework for you. I will expend an hour doing real research and you will call it fake news. Played this game before.

    I have also looked and looked, my guy. You are falling for psychological BS.
