And the efficacy of wearing a mask is more than not wearing one.The subject matter is the efficacy of wearing a typical commercial mask to protect against Covid-19, which is a pathogen.

Read the OP dumbass.That's how you measure effectiveness of masks against COVID?
Are you that fucking stupid?
Masks weren't meant to be 100% effective. They were supposed to be more effective than not wearing one, which they were.
I've read the OP. Masks are more effective than not wearing a mask.Read the OP dumbass.
Ya want to wear a mask by all means be my guest, personally I don’t give a fuck. Doctors can be given a load of shit like everyone else.I've read the OP. Masks are more effective than not wearing a mask.
Talk to your doctor about your concerns..
.see if they agree.
Or just don't wear a mask. Nobody cares if you get COVID and I'm sure you don't care if you give it to others.
So you don’t take any medical advice from doctors?Ya want to wear a mask by all means be my guest, personally I don’t give a fuck. Doctors can be given a load of shit like everyone else.
TrollSo you don’t take any medical advice from doctors?
I haven't worn one for over a year. That doesn't mean they aren't effective...it means I haven't had COVID nor been in situations where I was at high risk of getting it.Ya want to wear a mask by all means be my guest, personally I don’t give a fuck.

You fuckers act like it's the end of the world to wear one....quit being overdramatic fuckheads.
And if you don't have a PCP that you regularly visit, I already know you give no shits about your health or those around you.
You do realise that the mask handling points you are making above, offers full support for wearing masks for COVID, don't you?.....or do I need to go through it and highlight those points???The efficacy of mask wearing is challenged on several level. Mask can create a false sense of security, not even trying to compare filtration efficiency. Most people either don’t understand viral transmission or don’t understand how to properly use and dispose of a soiled mask. Using a mask incorrectly can be more damaging than not using one at all. The reason I brought up a contaminated battle space is because a pathogen is simply a pathogen, no matter where you are in relation to exposure. A soldier is trained in proper usage and decontamination procedures, it’s a full face mask with carbon filters. A person using a cloth or n-95 mask could subject themselves to unnecessary risk not realizing that a n-95 or cloth mask does not protect your eyes, knowing that, if they didn’t wear a mask would not allow themselves to be subjected to unnecessary exposure. People have a tendency to reuse masks without decontamination, not doing that important step may have put you at a high risk of contracting the very disease you thought a mask protected you from. If used properly and with knowledge of its limitations a mask can be useful. Hence combination of mask and face shield.
Yes, if you wear them improperly, they don't work. That has nothing to do with the efficacy of masks..that has to do with idiocy of users who don't wear them properly.The efficacy of mask wearing is challenged on several level.

Like I wrote I didn’t get into the filtration efficiencies which deals in microns.Yes, if you wear them improperly, they don't work. That has nothing to do with the efficacy of masks..that has to do with idiocy of users who don't wear them properly.
This is so fucking stupid and stinks of pedantry to prove yourself correct. Don't wear a fucking mask..,I don't care.
If I find the need to wear one, I will because I know why they work and I wear them properly.
Viruses are transmitted in droplets.Like I wrote I didn’t get into the filtration efficiencies which deals in microns.
It’s obvious you didn’t understand the OP or the conclusion of the study.
You’re the last person to accuse anyone of pedantry.
Ohhhhhhh Please doooooooooooLike I wrote I didn’t get into the filtration efficiencies which deals in microns.
LMFAO......no please show us where he doesn't understand!!!!It’s obvious you didn’t understand the OP or the conclusion of the study.
Why??? Please explain, drawing from your infinite wisdom, he who failed grade 4 mathematics....You’re the last person to accuse anyone of pedantry.
Covid canViruses are transmitted in droplets.
Masks don't need to stop the virus....they need to stop the droplets with viruses. It's not 100% effective.
I understand the OP....studies which are focused on specific situational examples....and even those don't show that no mask is better than a mask.
I don't give a shit which person I am to talk of pedantry.....why the fuck does it matter to you whether masks are effective at this point?
Oh do tell how masks don't work on aerosols....in the meantime the rest of in the real world can judge by these studies...Covid can
also take the form of an aerosol.
Hey keep going...I think the longest rant from HisArpy was seven days.....take a deep breath,relax, you can do it!!!!!!Poor FUZZYNUTS, can’t come to terms with the fact that if you inject 2/10 or 1/5 into a quadratic equation both will yield the exact same precipitation rate.
People exhale droplets. They don't exhale aerosol.Covid can
also take the form of an aerosol.
That was never the point, genius.Poor FUZZYNUTS, can’t come to terms with the fact that if you inject 2/10 or 1/5 into a quadratic equation both will yield the exact same precipitation rate.
But how effective is no mask?Oh do tell how masks don't work on aerosols....in the meantime the rest of in the real world can judge by these studies...
"Nevertheless, high-efficiency masks, such as the KN95, still offer substantially higher apparent filtration efficiencies (60% and 46% for R95 and KN95 masks, respectively) than the more commonly used cloth (10%) and surgical masks (12%), and therefore are still the recommended choice in mitigating airborne disease transmission indoors"

Well ican't says they are more effective....me I don't know, that's why I followed the experts advice.But how effective is no mask?
