That's the problem that people think about the airborne spread being carried by "droplets". The vast majority of the water from breathing is in a vapor form which goes all around any opening between the fit of mask and our face. There is not concrete proof that mask work. A lot of people that are knowledgeable on viruses and their transmission do not advocate masks use. What about the constant touching of the masks and face of the wearer? ……… that in and of itself is an infection risk.


See this is the thing. Isro thinks he's being clever by redirecting the mask/no mask argument towards the notion that "they limit sneezes", claiming that it's rock-solid obvious that they limit sneezes. And anyone who disagrees with mask wearing are obviously disagreeing with his "rock-solid obvious truth" that they limit sneezes. The Straw Man.

He also shows something here... "slowing the spread". This is the goal. The attempt to stretch this out as long as possible. Perhaps indefinitely. Claiming to "slow the spread" and "flatten the curve" can continue on forever. No real evidence needs to be shown, just the continued harping of "experts", and browbeating anyone who disagrees with these "experts". Masks may or may not have any effect whatsoever, but it doesn't matter, as long as you claim that they "slow the spread".




Once again your not limiting sneezes like you posted above but rather the distance the sneeze travels, hence slowing the spread>

Are you in favor of speeding up the spread?


Are you in favor of govt mandated hand washing protocols? Why masks and not legislation to force hand washing?

What about an outright ban on unprotected homosexual sex since it’s proven to cause the AIDS virus?



Do you have an issue with other people touching you on a regular basis at the store, gas station, car dealership, clinic etc.........

I didn't think so, so that argument is flat.

I didn't think one would have to explain the difference between the limiting sneezes/coughs and touching someone randomly which I do believe is covered by law.


Do you not touch things touched by hundreds/thousands of other folks? You don’t touch the handle of the pump at the gas station, the keypad on the credit card machine, handle products in the grocery store that someone else handled, doorknobs, shopping carts?
