    Popular blue surgical face masks do NOT stop people from being infected with COVID-19 | Daily Mail Online


    • University of Waterloo researchers find most cloth masks are only 10% effective
    • Researchers warn most cloth masks do not cover the face properly
    • N95 or KN95 masks were found to be the most effective at filtering aerosols
    • Study also found that even 'moderate ventilation' matches the best of masks in terms of protection against COVID-19
    • Mask debate remains contentious in the country as delta variant spreads

    I agree but when these breakthrough occur they make news and feed into the paranoia of the anti-vax crowd

    "Iraan, a small oilfield town of 1,200 people in west Texas, has been struck so hard by the coronavirus pandemic that the entire town has essentially shut down, including the school district and local businesses."


    It's just a cold... It's a hoax...


    Oh! People are getting sick? Crap!


    Texas town closed by COVID: Iraan's schools, businesses shut down

    As long as they're getting veterinary grade cattle dewormer, I hope that they take the opportunity to get spayed or neutered, too.

    Well, that stage has now, pretty much, been reached. And no. I will not take the Covid Vaccine. I don’t self-identify as a guinea pig. I rather have faith in my immune system. Seems to have done me proud so far.

    Ignorance is a lack of knowledge.
    Stupidity is a rejection of knowledge.

    That’d make you ignorant AND stupid then. And rude. We’re not going to agree so how about you just ignore my comments and stick to your own. Troll.

    only reason i have yet to is i don't have a phone and i don't have a car and i have to make a seperate trip out of the house just to go get it.
    but i'm all for it, if i can get one someplace where i don't need an appointment or if it somehow comes to people where i live, the shots i mean,
    you because everytime i leave the house i resk getting it from some asswipe who refuses to wear a mask or distance on the bus.

    i've had very bad reactions to flu shots, but this is worth getting the shot if it saves my life. i just need to know someplace i can just go there and get it without any big hoopdido to do so.

    many people misunderstand the purpose of masks and how they work. they're not primarily to protect the wearer. they protect everone else from what they might catch from him or her, from sneezes, coughts and particles emitted by simply by speaking. none of these are reasons to not wear them. n95 if you can get them, or kn95, i've found 3packs of at the 99 on ocasion, are obviously much prefered. and yes, of course open a window, distance and everything else that you can. none of these are logical agruments against masks, even cloth if that's all you can find is still better then nothing. again because its not primarily to protect you, its to protect everyone else from your aerosauls.
