There is zero scientific evidence that wearing a mask, especially for more extended periods, protects us. However, several studies found significant problems with wearing one. Side-effects range from headaches to increased airway resistance, carbon dioxide accumulation, hypoxia, to more severe complications.

A mask is a petri dish for airborne pathogens. If you are not changing masks at maximum every 90 minutes you are creating a nice warm moist habitat for germs an inch from your face. Moreover, without proper glove use, eye protection, and an actual seal around nose and mouth the mask is entirely superficial and ineffective in preventing the spread of pathogens. Not to mention the evidence indicating overexposure to exhaust gasses and concentrations of Co2 with some masks that can be damaging to the immune system.

Oh....and about the ubiquitous moisture droplets that makes Covidiots say..."but, but, but I 'm protecting you from me". More research is pointing out that these viruses are primarily infectious via dry Bio-Aerosols! Yep, and much smaller than your pathetic mask, so you're pretty much spreading it ALL THE TIME.

Teller's 2009 article "Aerosol transmission of influenza A virus: a review of new studies" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2843947/). Teller addresses this directly in the closing discussion.

Increasing evidences point towards a role for aerosol transmission in the spread of influenza (and other similar viruses), at least over short distance where exposure to both aerosol and large droplets occurs. [...] This distinction of ‘short-range aerosol transmission’ is not merely academic; aerosolized particles would readily penetrate or circumvent ordinary surgical masks, and penetration of aerosolized influenza viruses into the LRT where they can initiate infection would account well for the association of aerosol transmission and severe disease.

.....As an additional consideration, it may well be that aerosol transmission is responsible for the most severe cases of disease involving viral infection of the LRT.

Jesus H Christ! You expect /u/socks to read all of that? That loser shill has trouble with the directions on a pack of pop-tarts let alone a litany of scientific studies and articles.

Wait - there are directions on packs of Pop-Tarts?

Thank you for the links. As noted earlier, I agree that non-n95 masks are not as efficient as n95 masks, and as research has shown, any mask is better than no mask, even if it's not an n95 mask. For example, this:

aerosolized particles would readily penetrate or circumvent ordinary surgical masks

This is not necessarily true. Aerosolized particles may or may not penetrate or circumvent ordinary surgical masks, but it is so much better to have a mask of any kind than not to have a mask around other people, while also keeping a 6' distance from them, while also getting both vaccine shots. All precautions are necessary in order not to spread the virus. Once you try to argue that the details of one precaution are problematic, using evidence that is only partially related to 2020 scientific research on the spread of COVID19, you begin to avoid the facts and the science regarding the importance of combining all of the necessary precautions.

Zahn provided some of the links. We disagree on how to interpret them. I provided the search string earlier in the discussion. Essentially - masks, testing, vaccine shots and social distancing will have to continue, during and after lockdown. N95 masks help, but are not the ONLY masks one should wear, especially if one cannot get or use n95 masks immediately. Here's a link:

I am sitting on a crowded bus right now without a mask and others are doing it too. Noone is saying anything. North Americans are just crazy and fear simple cold

So it was a waste of my time to respond to you? If you have no interest in others or in science....

If you are in the US, and others around you are not wearing masks, you'll continue to see COVID problems, deaths, small businesses go out of business, and the 1% get filthy rich in the process. The 1% have brainwashed you and others into ego trips that continue to spread the virus. It's fucking up the 99%.
