If you are wearing masks, to be clear; you are a stupid liberal piece of shit.

Masks can be a cheap bit of cloth and still work to keep the air around you clean.

Bullshit. Cloth masks cannot filter out aerosolized viruses that are between 50 and 200 microns thick. Just cough or sneeze inside your arm and wash your hands after contact with frequently touched surfaces.

It's about long term averages, and bringing down the R0 number. It's not about catching everything of a certain micron thickness or whatever. That's what a respirator does and I literally just explained the difference to your dumb ass.

You're correct that, following similar logic, it makes just as much sense going around with your hands over your mouth - but not quite as convenient as a bit of cloth with string hanging over your ears.

Of course. Just wear it if it makes you feel safe and enjoy your hypoxia.

If you actually read what I said. It's not about making me feel safe. The point is that when I already have the flu or a cold or there's a asymptomatic pandemic happening - then wearing a mask reduces community reproduction and slows the infection, which in turn has a whole bunch of benefits

  1. It means public transport isn't a community death trap of superspreaders

  2. It means the health system isn't overwhelmed by a high R0 number

  3. It saves the lives of the elderly and infirm in your household or community

I don't think you could have read me explain this to you once already and really still not understand it. I think you're probably just trolling, so go away, troll

None of what you're claiming has any factual basis.

There is a factual basis to the difference between the two medical devices, a respirator and a mask. So you're lying about that.

There's a factual basis to the practice of wearing masks to protect others when you feel sick. A billion plus east asian people practice this all the time dude. You would have seen east asian people walking around with masks on before 2020 because it's a FACTUAL BASIS dipshit.

There's also a factual basis to the practice of wearing masks reducing the R0 number. I linked you to a paper showing various simulations about it because that's a FACTUAL FUCKING BASIS.

None of what you're claiming has any factual basis.

You are fully retarded. I told you three times the difference between a mask and respirator and you replied as if you hadn't read it. I provided multiple links and you replied that I had not given you any factual basis - you are fucking with me, so take your trolling elsewhere, moron

And I was referring to cloth masks, not N95 or other fine particle filtrating devices. I ain't trolling and I ain't going anywhere bitch so suck it.

You are trolling because I've explained over and over that "N95 or other fine particle filtrating device" IS CALLED A FUCKING RESPIRATOR YOU MORON

Not a mask. A mask is not a respirator. I fucking told you that in the top level reply
