just when you thought you knew what stupid was

RSR, great posts and thank you for your work to spread actual knowledge. It is amazing how many folks actively try to avoid becoming educated, and prefer rather to stick with bias and assumption.

Yes RSR, thank you for your posts. You may have even swayed one or two out there but some may never admit it. I have lost a childhood friend and now a coworker due to virus related issues. My niece and nephew cannot begin school because their cavalier grandmother has the virus. Keep your distance, wear a mask, wash your hands. It is not going to kill you - uh, well, maybe it will.

You're not going to convince us and we're not going to convince you. Whoever us and you are.

That's the way of the world.

/pine, I am guilty of not wanting to read through all the drivel in earlier pages of this thread, so I didn't see you cite anything. All I was responding to was your continued recent posts spreading misinformation about mask use. You are still doing it and still don't seem to fully understand how they work. Masks MIGHT help you to not breathe in the virus yourself, but that is not the main reason we wear them. The virus probably doesn't live long on surfaces once your respiratory droplets dry up, so touching a used mask isn't even particularly dangerous unless it's still moist and you then directly jam your fingers into your eyes, nose or mouth. Surface contact is not the principal concern - breathing in someone else's exhalations is. Please try to get that into your head.

I haven't seen any misinformation. I've seen statements that there is no consensus and there is a wide variety of opinions.

Again, you are frankly wrong, and your spread of misinformation is damaging. <snip>
As I said earlier, I'd be happy to share with you scientific, peer-reviewed studies that demonstrate the science of how and why face coverings work.

Please do so.
Spread of disinformation:
"This will end by April"
"It will go away like a miracle"
"inject bleach"
"children are 'almost immune' to COVID-19"
is rampant and damaging.

I got news for you...YOU are the one stating lies and misinformation...

LMAO...are you scientist now too??...FYI...every time you exhale through a mask you are exhaling moisture droplets...just huff on a piece of glass if you don't believe me...:laughing:

UGH this is insane how dense you are, bud. I'm an engineer who gets paid to experiment with internal combustion engines, not a medial professional or clinical researcher. But I am trained at researching and somewhat of a news junkie. I follow data and the scientific method. Don't accuse me of lying or spreading misinformation when you have nothing but conjecture and opinion to back it up. Your statements are frankly somewhat dangerous in a time when we need consensus to defeat this virus.

Diggin, that is the exact misinformation I am talking about. There is simply no scientific debate about whether masks are helpful and important or not. They are. If you think there isn't scientific agreement on that front, its because that's just what you want to believe is true, not because you researched it diligently to come to such a conclusion.

Just came from shoping in a nearby Rural Community. I am happy to report that out the the spotlight businesses are NOT complying with mask regulations.

LOL...I don't give a rat's patooty what you claim to be...I know for a fact you stated lies about my posts and misinformation...
You are nothing but a gullible zealot who obviously has poor reading comprehension skills...! DOH!
