If you are asymptomatic - by definition - you won't be coughing and sneezing so the mask is pointless. It's nothing but an accessory to make everyone feel safer.

Very, very few people get or spread the virus via droplet transfer. The vast majority of the public spread is via commonly touched items, then transferring the virus to one's eyes/ears/mouth via hand transfer. So the government is mandating PPE that does little to protect the common person, but can actually have an adverse effect as people are now fidgeting with this thing on their face.

The next time you are out and about, do some people watching and pay attention to how often people adjust their masks.

"Don't touch your face, but here's a piece of equipment that will likely make you touch your face." It's counter-productive.
Where did you get the idea that the vast majority is spread via touch transfer?

I get what you are saying, I have noticed people touching their faces more while wearing one, you can't help it, they are annoying fucking things.

As far as a mask not helping or giving a false sense of security you are right again, although if someone is coughing and spluttering they should definitely wear one, those droplets you are talking about have to come from somewhere, they might not directly infect someone else but they are spread onto surfaces by peoples face holes.

Some sort of covering is a good idea man, even if all it does is put the head cases at ease in your mind.

News outlets. Articles.
Talking common community spread. Not necessarily those in the medical field.

Don't you be coming in here blowing holes into my anti-mask theories.

If people are coughing and spluttering (I like that word) they need to stay the fuck home.

I get what you're saying though.

Definitely, but that isn't how it works unfortunately, I was behind some cretin in the shop last week snotting all over them selves, I don't judge if I can help it, who fucking knows whats going on there, maybe they don't have a choice.

If it wasn't a woman I might have said something to them but even at that whats the point, unless I go full viglilante pheonix jones style, a few more weeks of lockdown and that might just happen, I'm leaning towards Splutterman for a moniker.

anyone worried that the gov is now arresting/jailing broke ppl who are trying to open their businesses early? Seems crazy. We are getting into dangerous territory here.

Texas starting to put numbers on FL now that they're actually testing people. What a surprise considering they have more than 7 million more people than us.



Tests done per 1m pop.

Florida 22,699
Texas 15,825

So...

Open a business to try and work = jail
Steal a car & run from cops = no jail

Got it.
Glad this whole thing makes sense.

lueVelvet @lueVelvet IschKabibble @IschKabibble @Rhino How did such a terrible public speaker get elected governor in FL?

It's a rhetorical question. I know he sucked Trump's dick to win his party's nomination and that we haven't had a Democrat in office since 1998

the study reads like that, Dr Patrick was just citing it along with a lot of other information
Ronda Patrick just spreads health information
Get that Sunshine baby



I also read a report that the virus appears to attack folks who have gray hair.

If the gov't can open the salons back up we could save some lives.

He could be
I would like to see some other people(Doctors/testers) burn a few tests on random objects to verify their accuracy...Scientific Method stuff
This is the same man who said covid could be prayed away and is claiming a herb is the cure.

You are dealing with Copeland essentially, that entire speech is horse shit.
