that's pretty OFF topic. So people who don't wear masks while in a public market or other public place don't wear seat belts?
Sound about right? Do unto others...

Outdoors is not as critical for mask wearing so no worries about 90 degree heat. Indoors, where social distancing is not guaranteed, is when it is necessary for wearing a mask to help slow the spread of the virus.

If you and I are both standing naked and I turn toward you and urinate you are going to get wet. If you put on clothes and I urinate you will still get wet but not near as much as when you were naked. If I put on clothes most will be stopped by my clothes but some might still get out and if you’re naked and too close you could still get wet. If we both have clothes on you will not get wet.

Once again, just trying to give a little perspective. It is totally incorrect to say masks do not provide protection. The more of us who wear them the better protection for everyone.

Not only will protection be provided if more people wear masks, we can slow the spread of the virus. The more the population slows the spread of the virus, the sooner we can open the economy and do it more safely. We need to be diligent until a effective vaccine can provide all of us with herd immunity.

Hmm. Does that mean that all of the peaceful protesters with molontov cocktails, bricks, bats and guns will all die for not wareing masks?

Oh I’m putting up a chain link fence to keep the mosquitoes out.

With the amount of information, scientific or just plain common sense that is out there, I can see you with your hands over your eyes and ears shouting, "la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la~~~~~~~. This must be the reason you JUST DON'T GET IT!

You are very welcome.

From every bit of information we have received as a population, I have learned that the virus is propelled into the air by droplets from a person's nose or mouth, not vapors. Do you have a link that states the virus is transmitted via vapors? Please provide it. I just may learn something new today. Thanks.

You missed the point of the article. It’s about source control. The study showed that if a person wears a mask, the droplets from talking, coughing, and sneezing aren’t easily transmitted to others. So if everyone wore masks, the virus would be stopped AT THE SOURCE, and would never make it to other people’s masks for incoming penetration.

Just tried to view the video but the video is unavailable. I would bet this video is from early on in the pandemic. That is old news and information. Dr. Fauci advocates mask wearing now.

Read this entire article and you will see it debunks what you said.........

Did Anthony Fauci Say People No Longer Need to Wear Masks?

You linked a video from MARCH 8th. Oh, my goodness. Have you been in hibernation for more than three months? Information on this virus changes nearly on a daily basis. PAY ATTENTION to what is going on around you, for crying out loud.
