We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

I have those same masks but the piece of paper with the instructions is written in Chinese so I dont know what it says lol.

Ive heard mosts masks are about as effective against C19 as a chainlink fence is for keeping mosquitos out. I wear a mask simply to keep folks feeling better about themselves when seeing me more than anything else. I dont mind. If it makes folks feel better, so what?

For you geniuses that keep spouting off about what you think an article said but since you didn't actually read it don't know what it actually said...

Brosseau said that infected individuals generate around 900 particles of the disease a minute when talking or breathing. Current theories, she explained, estimate that an individual needs about 1,000 particles to become infected by the virus.

"Cloth masks stop about 50 percent of particles," she said. "If it takes you two or three minutes to get an infectious dose, the mask may move the infection time up a little bit longer." The slight extension in the time it takes to become infected, she argued, would be insufficient to protect those in customer-facing service work like "retail, or someone driving a bus."

She argued that surgical masks are not much better. They were "originally designed to prevent the emission of large droplets for surgeons in surgical setting, to prevent bacterial infections during surgery," she said.

Pete I have been the one from the beginning saying masks on an individual basis are not effective at protecting people from getting it , but is more to protect people from you. surgeons wear masks to protect the patient not themselves but when blood goes flying it can still offer some when used properly.

if you are not wearing a mask but everybody around is it can reduce the viral load in the environment/air . If used properly (like sterile equipment ) it can offer short term protection in areas where social distancing is not possible.

I guess the answer to a virus that has been proven to be primarily transmitted through the air through person-to-person contact is to do nothing.
I think you should read the article. I don't think it's biased but it does ask questions.

Yet, for now at least, a broad consensus of expert opinion continues to insist it is necessary to wear them for the duration of the pandemic, if for no other reason than to be careful.

Still haven't read the article, have you?

That's the way I do it. I have to wear one at work in common areas so I figure I might as well wear it in stores and such.

It's absolutely sincere. And, if you have been wearing a mask recently, are you going to stop based on that article?

There are another Eleventy Billion articles and papers like this.

Do the masks stop the virus clusters from getting through? Very few do. Do the masks help prevent the spread of the virus? Absolutely.

Does it matter WHY people wear masks? Nope. Regardless of your reason to wear them, the benefits are the same.
