I got the Covid

Exactly, I would bet that 90% of people who wear masks are ill fitted, improperly worn, or substandard quality allowing the virus to slip by.
Lets be honest, most of the masks are a false sense of security.
If we are going to wear masks, lets get the right ones and wear them properly.

PRECISELY !!!!!

Masks, as we see them worn every day, are nothing more than pablum for the peons!

Getting advice on mask wearing from folks who don't think they're effective and won't wear them ...

Let's say the death numbers ar exaggerated by 50%. So if only 175,000 people have actually died form C-19 what are the rest of us worried about?

We're all going to die someday anyway.

If we don't trust the news, how do we know three's even a pandemic? Oh they lied once, so all news is fake news?

btw, we know that hospitals are owned by China and they're in cahoots to bankrupt the American economy. I heard it on the news.

And don't worry about Bill Gates injecting you with a micro-chip. Steve Jobs sold you one ten years ago and it's your constant companion.

Now if I can just decide whether to wear my painting, mining, or radioactive mask instead of one I just can't spit through.

If you read about the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic, there were also the deniers that didn't want to wear masks, social distance, shut down gatherings. At that time it WAS a flu (H1N1) but people just wanted to ignore it so it will go away. People were more ignorant on epidemics at that time but are we any more advanced as a race now? We know much more about the science, but when people choose to ignore it, any advancement breaks down. Maybe in 100 more years we will do better? Will we make it as a species?

I always viewed the media with a decent degree of mistrust. It goes back to many episodes of misleading information.

I lost faith in what the news stations were reporting after a story ran, where my wife knew the first hand facts, and was the person who reviewed all the camera footage with the police.

The news station doing the reporting didn't have a bloody clue what they were talking about and every fact on the story was complete and utter nonsense

As a police officer many, many years ago, I could tell you many, many stories about the news media and errors made, prejudices of some news men, some sad errors, some hilarious ones; some unintentional, some deliberate. And as with any group, there are some very good people in the business and some very bad.

Bird, good and bad exist in every profession. The problem with the media is there seem to be fewer and fewer good ones.

Not all people can wear the correct mask. If someone has upper respiratory issues, COPD, or the many other breathing issues, then they are not supposed to wear an N95 mask or greater. An N95 mask actually restricts the amount of air your breathing in. It's not a big deal for most people. But can have a drastic negative effect on people with certain medical conditions.

Thats why quite a few companies require a fit test and medical evaluation before authorizing an employee to be able to use an N95 mask or respirator.

"you have no idea where it was contracted"

And...... 'you' also have absolutely no idea, if a whole box of masks would have protected 'you' during that "18 day period"

Again, the masks are to help prevent YOU from spreading droplets, not to protect you FROM droplets.

WOW!
We now all now know that Kenmac has been defined as..... IGNORANT !!

That picture perfectly illustrates ignorance of the purpose for wearing masks in this pandemic. He keeps saying the mask won't protect people that wear it. That's not what it's for. It's to protect others. And it works. For some reason, a small percentage of people just can't seem to comprehend that.
