The problem is it only takes 1 virus participle to infect someone, if you reduce your COVID output from breathing even by 99%, there are still millions of particles that escape every breath you take with a mask.

That's why people were swapping to n95s, which actually do work.

Sneezing and coughing was not how COVID spread, it spread by breathing

So no, not full retard or statist or trying to infect people.

Itโ€™s an interesting debate as it came down to how those virus particles were held in suspension and the size of said suspension. The mask was more of mechanical barrier (think wind break) than a particle filter and the aim was also to reduce the distance travelled by the particles (hence why social distancing was also a thing).

Yep it definitely changed the trajectory and velocity, making particles rise up instead of directory towards. So if your room has really good ventilation it would help a lot.

But ultimately every single person got COVID, masked or vaccinated or not, so it was all very retarded either way

Painfully retarded indeed.

Totally agree. You really canโ€™t stop an airborne virus. EVERYONE would need to conform pretty much under clinical conditions, all the time - never gonna happen. It might have slowed down the transmission a bit but everyone was going to get it.

Masks were a bit like bitcoin regulation. Might have slowed down the adoption a bit but everyone is going to get bitcoin and you really canโ€™t stop it. ๐Ÿ˜

Statistical reduction again.

Some people will require only 1 particle to get sick, some thousands, some millions, some billions.

Yes everyone was going to get it. We didn't all need to get it at once and overload the hospitals. We didn't all need to get it before it mutated into a less severe form.

Your entire position is anti statistical thinking and making perfect the enemy of every helpful but imperfect action.
