What happens to that droplet?

The mask may somewhat limit the range the virus travels outbound but if it is on your mask and you inhale it will likely enter your lungs.

I am not trying to cause paranoia simply make people aware that social distancing is probably more important than wearing a mask.

Do you have a link proving that this actually does happen? Think about it....if this WERE true, our country would have millions of people infected with this virus, not to mention the amount of infected in the rest of the world. IMHO, that is just not feasible. Doesn't it make more sense that once the virus lands on any surface, even fabric, that the virus no longer travels, especially into your respiratory system?

How Well Do Masks Work? (Schlieren Imaging In Slow Motion!) - YouTube

I think this debate about masks has been beaten to death. Have your own opinion. Dont shove it off on everyone. Wear a mask if that is your desire and stay away from people or places where they arent worn. If you decide to not wear a mask, expect to be banned from numerous stores and businesses. Simple. Make your choice and live with the consequences. But lets move on in life and end the debate! Its old news!!

Not everyone has seen these two videos. And NO, this debate will never end until this pandemic ends.

As has been shown with so many other subjects, there will be a core of people who will never be swayed by, and are actually allergic, to facts and the truth.

NY is not a hotspot. CA is. Any guesstimate of outbreak if no masks, no quarantine, no capacity limits were in place? My guess is they be in a lot worst shape.

This guy's family no longer think it is a hoax or harmless.

This guy never references any studies or experts to support his "theories". He's nothing more than a layman trying to interpret something he knows nothing about. Here's an idea. Try reading something written by actual world renowned microbiologists, immunologists and infection disease specialists. I think they have more to offer than this buffoon.

I don't understand why the issues of masks keep coming up.
If all the hype is false and masks are only 1% effective that is enough for me.
My life and that of my wife is not worth the risk to prove a point.

Then my sister got to thinking if I drive 20 minutes to mom house then she get in the car mom is breathing in my sisters air. So my sister now wears her mask on the way to moms house. So you don’t know why someone is wearing a mask, yes I told you both are wear in the car at the same time. She again said but my germs are still in the air and she felt better safe then sorry, moms 85 and dad is 90 so being overly careful makes since......and I have to agree

Oh you mean like Florida? The state that hasn’t imposed or forced laws on us and we’re doing ok, especially considering it’s the largest population of seniors....yes NY is considered a hotspot again, why do you think they are shutting everything down again...

Thank you for the share. I have to say I was very hesitant about watching because I so over the mask talk but this guy explains it very well and keeps it to a matter of fact.
Thanks again and going to share

(Just kidding (I think).

I agree with your reporting categories. Not kidding! I suggest supplies of vaccines be allocated first to those of us who wore masks, and took the pandemic seriously, and did our part to stop the spread. For those who grocery shopped or attended spreader events without masks, go to the end of the line.

Would love to know this guy's credentials and sources. Would also love his answer to how an airborne virus cannot enter your bloodstream thru your eyes and ears. I find it a bit humorous that those who adamantly demand mask wearing by everyone feel it is ok to take theirs off while sharing a table at a public restaurant. Apparently they believe that the virus takes a break while they are eating and drinking. It also seems to not be present at massive "social injustice" gatherings and at parties and dinners attended by autocratic Governors. I just wish there was as much concern for those in Nursing homes being prevented from personal visits and hugs from family members; business owners whose businesses have been designated "non-essential; school children unable to have a normal childhood with social interaction and parents unable to go to work because their kids can't go to school. There is also no mention of the increases in drug abuse, overdoses, depression, and suicides brought on by this "isolation", as well as the increased risks to those who have had to put off needed treatments and surgeries that have put their health and their very lives at increased risk. The "cure" cannot be worse than the disease and you cannot destroy the lives of tge 99% financially, physically, psychologically and spiritually for the sake of the 1%.
