Topic: Don't buy facemasks for the coronavirus! - page 11. (Read 7241 times)

I don't understand that there are still many who don't believe in the covid-19 pandemic, even though many people have been infected and died

In the beginning people were in panic about the coronavirus, now people are used to it. This is the reason why people use the face mask to clean the windscreen or wobble of the table. By the time there is a person who has invested $1.5million in a facemask.

I saw a guy cleaning bird droppings off his windscreen with a used face mask.

The guy probably doesn't wait for the cigarette to burn to the point where the mask would light up.

In general, I began to think more and more that soon this forced imposition of wearing masks will bore people and they will just give up on these measures. 

~snip~

When it comes to most part in Africa the government enforce this on masses. Some laws that are been enforced are really not working now shouting down markets saying no gathering but he'll no, on the road side you see market women's hanging around I mean all this is really turning most poor masses more poor.

Edit: I bought a mask, I'm fairly neutral on the topic now but it became law and I'm not of an age where coronavirus should have little affect so it makes sense for others' protection.

if you're going to wear a mask, make sure it has a ridge on it and that you can breathe in and out normally without the mask moving. IF YOU BREATHE IN OR OUT HARD IT SHOULD MOVE SLIGHTLY BUT SHOULD MOULD BACK AND NOT ENTER YOUR MOUTH - IF IT ENTERS YOUR MOUTH AND GETS WET THEN IT'S POINTLESS. I used mjnd continuously for 5 hours and it seemed to have little effect on me.

They won't protect you and you're just adding more waste to the land and water... They also don't cover your eyes which is probably how most infection gets in.

According to healthline and many other sources, COVID-19/the novel coronavirus has a diameter of ~120nm while face masks only have a filter up to 300nm. I've been looking through information on facemasks have two main purposes:
1. Industrial: This is where someone is commonly working with small particles that need to be blocked going into their respiratory tract, such as wood workers and the like. Thre is also a use case for these in China for their pollution levels since carbon particulates above 100 micrometers in size are known for increasing the risk of asthma and 300 micrometers are known for producing carcinogens pretty quickly (I hope i got that the right way round).
2. Medical: Contrary to what a lot of people would thiink, the N95 model (I'm told is the most popular in medicine) actually just stops the surgeon/practitioner from projecting salivery deposits onto a patient and aren't actually for reducing the amount of infection spread between the two - probably the reason most doctors actually don't wear these. Quarrentine outfits probably give the doctor a certain amount of time in with a patient before they're changed, or have additional tuping to allow for them to receive air from outside the quarrentine unit (either that or they have more advanced filters, there's probably some fancy electrostatics devices for this sort of thing).

Anyway, your face masks just mean you're improving everyone else's air quality and may mean your immune system starts to become complacent (well if my nose is already covered, I clearly don't have to do anything)...

And the eyes link back with the same tubes as your nose and mouth, hence why when you have strong eye drops, you can taste them in the back of your mouth or when you throw up you feel your eyes burning a little.

IF you're under 35, it's highly unlikely it'll kill you.
If you're over 35 but are still pretty healthy, you shouldn't face much issue with it either. I've known 60&70 year olds to have caught pneumonia and barely noticed it (just got a temperature and shivers). If you worry about it too much or you're not healthy, that's when problems can start to arise and probably the hope with a lot of mainstream media that you will catch something and give a payout to big pharma (I'm looking at you USA)..

Mask is for you own security. Remember those who drive motor bikes have to wear the Halmet and those who drive the cars have to wear the seat belt, similarly those who move out of home have to wear a mask. This is how simple is it and we need to accept it as a new safety measure.

Mask is more about not letting other catch your virus than not to contact virus yourself.
There are many asymptomatic or less severe cases that goes unnoticed but they can infect others.
The relative success in containing the virus in East and South East Asia is mostly credited to the strict implementation of mask on public.

Wow.  That's what I call 'clear and cold'.  I like it!

The lady is dead wrong about who these a-holes on the board of supervisors 'work for' in practice, and very possibly in fact as well although the mechanics behind that legal theory would be shrouded in state secrecy and such-like.  If future adjudicators subscribe to a legal theory based on what is the public consensus of this time, however, these people are in for a whole heap of trouble, and due to people like this lady they have been warned.  If they are not pretty confident that 'their side' is going to come out on top their best bets would be to bow out to 'start spending more time with the family' ASAP.

The healthy American - Peggy Hall - Sup Meeting

I was initially going to post some thoughts today on how to deal with raving lunatic mask Nazis but that will have to wait.

 I just became aware of this superb effort by Peggy Hall, who went before Orange County, California Board of Supervisors in an attempt to get the mask mandate repealed in that county.

 Below is what she said before the Board (One minute and 5 seconds)

The mandatory masks order in Orange County was repealed the following day.

Be sure to visit her site. The work she is doing is very important right now.
