just when you thought you knew what stupid was

As someone who understands the science of masks, and advocates for their use, this is every bit as stupid as the first post that started this conversation.

So why was the state of Wisconsin mandating the wearing of masks on teleconferences? The placebo effect. To make other people feel better about masks. If it makes you feel better, wear them.

There is more fake news on this thread since the copy and paste expert joined in. By bye.,

C YA... I enjoy the info.

If the powers that be truly wanted to know and report how effective wearing masks is...they would ask every person that gets tested a few questions about their mask wearing ( i.e., always in public, most of the time in public, sometimes in public, never etc., etc...) then publish that data along with the positive/negative test results...

The question is....

If masks work, why are they letting criminals out of prison?

I think it's ridiculous.

Not true. If you read the article it clearly states they asked employees to wear a mask to set a good example of compliance.

Still unnecessary in my opinion, as it opens it up for mockery, which causes more harm, as evidenced here.

Also, you never supplied a quote of when Fauci said they were a placebo effect (because he didn't).

Regarding the picture, everyone also has lapses in compliance.

On multiple occasions I have left the house and forgotten my mask.

I have walked into stores and forgotten to put one on, only to be asked to do so, and then have to quickly apologize for my forgetfulness.

I'd hate to be subjected to paparazzi style tactics waiting for a "gotcha" moment to be taken out of context, as there would be many. Yet somehow, when those cases occur that's what people latch onto?

In the past week I have see both sides of the spectrum while out in public...
While in Kohls buying clothes to go to a funeral I walked past the only bare faced person in the store, who muttered to me as I walked past "They can't make me wear one...

Earlier when at Tractor Supply I had to wait while the masked couple in front of me give a dissertation about how people who won't wear them are irresponsible and need to start volunteering at hospitals... I did allow them their 6 foot space but the 50 lb bag of grain on my shoulder was starting to get heavy. I was about to tell them what I thought about inconsiderate people who had nothing better to do than take up the clerk's time and mine, when they finally shut up and left.
