Tater got a teleprompter.
State epidemiologist said to wear a mask in public because they reduce the transmission of the disease from infected people to uninflected people. He’s an actual expert and I believe him.
But, but, wearing a mask takes away my FreeDumb!!!!! Are you some kind of a Commuh-nist??? /s
That's great @2:48. You wear your mask and we'll be protected from you.
they also said that ventilators were needed, until they figured out they did more harm than good
why SIP if masks work
why masks if social distancing works
why social distancing if mask works
It keeps your hands out of your mouth and nose, that's it. But that's a lot when you are in a store touching stuff.
If 80% of the population wears a mask that is at least 60% effective, the R0 of this virus drops below 1 and the virus goes away. It goes away faster if even more people wear masks, or we have masks that are more effective. If you want to reopen the economy and get back to normal, this is how you do it. Currently, with no vaccine or treatment available, this is the only way to do it. Want your freedoms back? Wear a mask.
People also need to understand that the majority of people spreading the disease are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, so everyone needs to wear a mask to halt the spread whether they feel sick or not. And, people should be aware that there are already hundreds of strains of this virus (see nextstrain.org) and, while you might be fine with exposure to most of them, the more you expose yourself to environments where you can contract the virus (Lowe's, Walmart, Little League games, etc.), the more likely you are to eventually catch a strain that can kill you.
Real Americans have always been team players. It's why we like sports so much. It also how we defeated the Germans and the Japanese at the same time. Be a team player. Wear a mask.
So how close are we to herd immunity? Looks like a few states have already achieved it and they can go back to normal. Gavin Newsom and Andrew Cuomo want to shelter in place for the next 30 years.
WHO initially said don’t wear masks, they aren’t effective. Now they say do wear masks. Truth is they don’t have a clue. The “experts” have been wrong on just about everything (see flawed models used as basis for killing our economy as example #1).
For those posters trying to guilt people into wearing masks and labeling those that don’t as selfish, need to understand that your desires and beliefs don’t constitute la legal requirement that everyone must follow. We live in the United States of America, the land of the free with freedom of thought and expression. You have the freedom to never leave your house but you don’t have the power to make me wear a mask. Move to China if you want to live in that society.
Still not going to wear a damned mask. Let that go.
4:22 has resorted to just making up shit now. Human interactions in such a situation can not be statistically stated with any remote accuracy. saying 80% wearing a mask does anything without any controls or considering other factors is grossly negligent of facts
wearing masks will spread the virus faster and further because it is simply a false sense of security. that's why the the feel good cloth things being made are accepted
wearing a mask in the regular population is bad for the infected since it increases the viral load of the infected and reduces the ability to simply breathe
wearing a mask in the regular population is bad for the uninfected because it increases face touching, eyes are not protected and social distancing needs are no longer met
wearing a mask in the regular population as an infected is bad for the uninfected because of the false sense and the fact that an infected with displayed symptoms of cough or sneezing will not be contained by a mask
wearing n95 masks are not recommended by the CDC and are not ideal.
it has never been an issue to try to remove the threat of the virus to the population. it has simply been "flatten the curve". we've done that.
wearing a mask has no appreciable value to the general public
No state has herd immunity. You need 60-75% penetration to achieve it. Antibody testing in New York shows about 13% while other areas are less than 5%. We’ll need an increase in infections (and deaths) of 20-25 times what we have already suffered through.
WHO was trying to protect the mask supply for medical workers. They were lying. Anyone with half a brain knew if a mask would protect a doctor or nurse that it would also protect a normal citizen.
I equate wearing a mask to ensuring I have a backstop behind my shooting range. It may not be required, but I also think it is an easy, sensible thing to do to ensure some innocent person isn’t hurt. It’s just common courtesy that benefits everyone. And no, I know I can’t guilt someone who doesn’t have a conscience.
Why don't they just make it a law that all people have to wear masks every time they leave their house from now on until they die?
That should stop all kinds of viruses and diseases.
End it now!!!
Team Chaos
"Why don't they just make it a law that all people have to wear masks every time they leave their house from now on "
Using that logic, the same argument could be said about wearing condoms.
Would you volunteer to enforce a condom law ?
But then again, that would be an interesting job !
"Why don't they just make it a law "
Even if "they" did make it a Law, it would make no difference.
We have laws against shooting each other, but murders have not stopped or even slowed down.
BTW.
I wear a mask every day (in public) .
@4:51 nobody is going to be at your funeral.
4:22 everyone that chooses not to wear a mask has no conscience? I don’t wear a mask. I have a conscience. I’m not worried about getting the virus. I‘m fortunate that I don’t fall into the group that is at risk. For those at risk, it’s their responsibility to take necessary precautions and stay home. Personal accountability.
And I hope you never drive above the speed limit. You’d be putting lives at risk. And have no conscience.
I see Fox News is now conferring both biology and law degrees to its viewers.
"Everyone that chooses not to wear a mask has no conscience? I don’t wear a mask. I have a conscience. I’m not worried about getting the virus. I‘m fortunate that I don’t fall into the group that is at risk".
Please don't be so quick to say you're not worried about getting the virus. One of my co-workers is a specimen of fantastic health and is currently at home on meds and quarantined after feeling ill and testing positive. But on the other hand, I don't wear one either. Stay safe and thirsty my friends.
3:45 pm Why wear a hat at the beach or sun glasses if you have sun screen?
The answer is the same.
If you've touched contaminated surfaces while out, a mask will keep you from picking your nose or sucking your thumb which I suspect you still do.
Now I have to go pray for forgiveness for hoping you get a bad case of the virus.
