That is false
 

No, the virus doesn’t freely pass through a mask! Do you think doctors, nurses, and all other medical personnel wear masks because they don’t work? It’s a FACT that wearing a mask reduces the chance of transmission to yourself and others. The type of mask, & wearing it correctly, matters in how effective the protection from the virus. The amount of viral load is very important when it comes to getting infected and the severity of illness, and wearing a mask is proven to mitigate both.
There should be a national mask mandate! It would save many, many thousands of lives and millions of illnesses. We don’t know if COVID19 causes, after recovery, lifelong adverse outcomes. It’s only been around for less than a year, so there’s no data on the long term outcome from COVID19, even for someone who doesn’t get sick at all. The virus that causes hepatitis, for example, is detrimental for a lifetime.
I would hope everyone would not spread the misinformation about mask wearing. It’s dangerous and is deadly. There’s a reason why America is the poster boy among developed countries for how NOT to mitigate this pandemic. It’s because much of the political leadership is, plainly, stupid. Let’s not add to the stupidity by questioning the effectiveness of wearing masks to mitigate the spread of this deadly virus.

Then why are you doing exactly that????

Please...
 

How about, specifically, ANY misinformation I am, supposedly, spreading? It’s similar to raving about “fake news” when the news is true and based on research, facts, reality, etc. If you make a hypothesis, it’s not valid without supporting evidence. The evidence that mask wearing is effective is overwhelming and conclusive!

OMG, where can I even start?

The virus CAN pass right through a mask, the mask can stop droplets to a certain degree if worn properly

Clearly, you have never worn a "mask", or performed surgery or you would know what is involved and why

Long term sequellae? MOST viruses have that potential, rarely, and some do not. Hepatitis A---self limited, no long term effects. Hepatitis B---sometimes people develop CAH or CPH (chronic active or persistent Hep B). Hepatitis C--can be cured in 8 weeks

But the true nature of your post came through when you referred to the "political leadership" as stupid. I wish I was "stupid" enough to be worth $10 billion and get elected POTUS.

Mike St people are wearing mask. So if you have yours on your protected

Most people are wearing mask. So if you have one on your protected.

You people are so full of it. 90%of county are wearing mask. But the numbers are going so with that..... You should ask " are they testing for Corona virus, or covid? It's just odd that the number of positive is still going on. But you don't have schools shutting down cause it's not spending in the schools. An these kids are close to eachother. Corona us just a common cold. You really need to research yourselfs an not believe what media is telling you

TROLL ALERT!!!!

these 2 comments are so ignorant I can't believe they are intended for anything other than to stir the pot

You people are too funny. The media says the sky is falling. Most of you would run an get a hard hat on.������������������������,, You don't remember that Fauci went onTV an said " people don't need to wear mask only health care workers" but when the media came down on him he charged his tone. Then say he never said it.. Bull**** there video of him. If you have your mask your good. Don't worry bout others worry bout yourselfs

Must have a doctorate in English. BTW, there is a "d" at the end of "anD", that would be "wear A mask", CHANGED, not CHARGED his tone, YOU'RE, not YOUR, ABOUT not BOUT, and YOURSELVES not YOURSELFS

Proves my point
 

You fail to have a single reason to not wear a mask. The efficacy of wearing a is proven. Yes, you can still become infected, the deaths of thousands of health care workers is proof that masks are not foolproof, but advocating not wearing masks is foolish and dangerous.
By the way, how much money you have is not a sign of intelligence. Let’s look at your statement that an inveterate liar is worth ten billion dollars, for instance. Where do you get that figure? From the pathological liar? The same person who’s a deadbeat that doesn’t pay his bills? Declared bankruptcy SIX times? Had over 270 million in debt forgiveness since 2010 alone? Whose only successful venture was as a reality TV show star? Has been an utter failure at almost every business venture he’s ever placed his tiny hands on? Seemingly every day we learn that he’s a complete fraud who lies about almost everything?
By the way, his Daddy’s dead so he can’t save him from ruin and jail this time. As for stupid, only a fool would think that he’s not going to undergo extreme scrutiny as President. Despite his constant efforts to hide the truth about his lifelong criminal deeds, the truth is coming out. He’s going to jail & it’s well earned.

Never said not to wear a mask. Wear a mask when it is appropriate, not just for the sake of wearing one. The rest of your post is nothing but far left political blathering.

You got that right GolfingEagles. Politicizing this pandemic. Now that's stupid. And any American's going along for the ride . . . even more stupid.

"Far left political blathering"'! I like that. Very accurate and descriptive.

We have the ignore list which mine has a few residents listed there. I wish there was a favorites list. Golfing Eagles would be one of the first added to mine. Telling it like it is.

Sounds like a grade school child's behavior.

Why because I choose to not be subjected to some people’s tripe? It’s just easier to ignore them. Like you and your grade school childish post?
