We’re three years out from covid so I feel like I can say this: If you are wearing a probably manufactured in China piece of felt on your face, let alone in your car, there’s something else going on with you.

First of all, those masks in particular have been LONG PROVEN to not do anything to help you or others avoid covid. They do not filter small enough particulates to be effective.

Second of all, you are alone in your vehicle. What the actual fuck are you doing?

Third of all, if you’re that deep in down the covid rabbit hole you’re probably quadruple vaccinated or something. Why do you still need any mask?

If your response is that the vaccines don’t prevent the spread of covid and further admit they don’t prevent you from getting covid (both inarguably proven AND admitted by the pharmaceutical companies) then why do you continue getting them?

What’s going on?? Truly. At this point it’s like Stockholm syndrome meets virtue signaling. Your mask might be blue or white but I see a red flag square on the center of your face that says STUPID.

IT’S BEEN THREE YEARS.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Only reason might be that they themselves have covid and are trying to limit the spread? When I see people doing this, I try to impute charitable motives to them, even if I think it somewhat pointless...

I hear you but as I said: Cloth masks do nothing to limit the spread. https://www.kwtx.com/2022/01/08/health-experts-warn-cloth-masks-are-ineffective-against-covid-19/?outputType=amp

Agree. Have read the Cochrane review. I just prefer to think that they might be trying to be considerate rather than ignorant...

You have to be ignorant to think that is being considerate, though. What I don’t see is anybody walking around with a medical grade respirator, which would actually maybe do something to prevent the spread of most things.

That's not what the article says, and you were talking about "probably made in China", which implies surgical or N95, both of which are at least somewhat effective. Certainly not "doing nothing".

Even cloth keeps you from smear-infecting yourself because it keeps your nose covered.

Go look on Amazon, most of the shitty cheap felt like material mask are from China. Covid particulates are smaller than what those masks are able to filter.

VOLKER - Voice Of Logic Knowledge Experience & Responsibility 2y ago

a) yes, but droplets aren't

b) you can get decent quality masks from China

c) the smear infection part stands

I'm OK with the gist of what you're saying, but the degree of overgeneralization doesn't quite match the degree to which you claim stupidity on the part of others. Just my 2 sats.

I’d rather not get decent quality anything from China.

Better than nothing, basically a fashion accessory isn’t a convincing sell.

At the start of covid I bought several boxes of 3M n95’s which I used for a period of time.

Droplets stick to the mask. Then you inhale microscopic partcles for possibly hours. Mask mandates were 100% unnecessary.

What the article says: They say while the cloth masks were some of the only options at the beginning of the pandemic, they are only a little more than a fashion accessory now, offering little protection against COVID-19.

A fashion accessory.
