You would not cluster bomb others when you coughed.
So maybe slightly better.

I very much doubt that.

Only stands to reason.Â* What does not get through the mask
on it own, builds up on the mask.Â* Then when you cough or
sneeze, you blow what you would have blown out without the
mask plus everything that has built up on the mask gets
blown all over everyone else.Â* So the exhaust hole does
help the build up issue

Wrong again.

Yes, it is stupid to not wear masks. It is stupid to deny that.

Yes, it is, and people don't wear them just to feel 'self-righteous'
either. They do so because it is the right thing to do for society.

Hi Hawk,

Suspending the fact that these masks do not protect
against viruses for a moment, there is a brief period
of time when the value is open before it shuts that
air gets back in. I would not risk that in a lethal
NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) environment.

Have you found it a little hypercritical that these
Lefties only care about wearing an annoyance that is
for show only and DO NOT care about those who are
actually at risk? Cuomo is killing a lot of folks
in nursing homes (ya, masks really work) by forcing them
to take infected people. But the Lefties don't care.

If I were to speculate, and I know this is a mean
thing to say, but it occurs to me that the Lefties
finally got their beloved Death Panels.

Folks in the last stages of their lives (nursing
home occupants) are the most expensive on the system.
This way they get to kill a bunch of them off to
lower their cost and then blame the whole thing
on Trump. They blame everything else they do on Trump,
so what is one more thing.



ROFL. Another good one. I'm sure when Trump gets beaten two to one in
November, you'll be here telling us that was all because of a rigged election
too. I think the odds are rapidly increasing that Trump does not even make
it to November, instead dropping out to avoid the huge ass whooping that;s
coming. I much prefer the ass whooping method.

You bored? I am. I am watching test backups. Sparring
with you is actually kind of fun. Loved one of the
studies you send me. It did explain why so many in
NY's nursing homes died with masks.

Masks are useless. And since wearing one (touching your face, etc.)
puts you are at more risk, you go out infect and
infect others when you are asymptomatic

No, I am not. I am not assuming any curve whatsoever, not even linear.

The probability is directly related to the amount of contamination with
all else being equal. More contamination means more infections.
