Coronavirus (Stay on Topic)

It does appear to be effective but it is far from 100% (nothing is near 100%) and it also depends on the correct wearing of it. The goal is a reduction in virus coming from mouth/nose. Any reduction is good.
Anyone can find studies to support either side. I'll say it again, the messaging with wearing mask creates a mentality in many, I bet the majority, of mask wearers of a false complacency. We saw it with the riots, I mean protest, there was zero social distancing, highly doubt they were passing around hand sanitizer yet many defended it by saying "most were wearing a mask", give me a break.
 
I see the same people that think masks are a waste of time think Trump was robbed. I'm not for mandates to wear them but they definitely work better than doing nothing. Putting your head in the sand and ignoring covid-19 won't make it go away. How do we know how bad it would be right now if nobody wore masks. I would like some ideas to control the spread from anti maskers.
Stay away from people. It's really not complicated and by the way, opposing a mandate doesn't mean anyone is ignoring C-19.
 
Hard to stay away from people when there's crowds everywhere because nobody seems to care about distancing.
I honestly don't have that difficult of a time staying 6 ft from people, if I'm closer I either pull the neck gaiter up or if I don't have it, I look away, walk away or ensure I don't breathe in their direction. And I'm never that close longer than 15 mins, CDC guidelines
 
Tell that to the people who are irresponsible and go out while infected or with an infected family member.
Those cloth mask don't protect against that. This is the gun control mentality.... tighter restrictions on the responsible because of the actions of a few of the irresponsible

True, happens with a the flu and stomach bug etc... if you’re scared stay home. Let the others go out and work and live a normal life. I’ll take my chances with a virus that has a survival rate at 99%. And yea I wear my mask when I’m out. I have no problem with people that don’t.
 
After 537 pages, we've come to the conclusion that: Masks help. No they don't. Yes they do. No they don't. Yes they do. No they don't.

Maybe the next 537 pages will solve it! ?

Sucks that we will likely be talking about this for even more than 537 pages . What I’m worried about is post covid mask requirements in places like restaurants . I really do think masks will become forced upon people in the service industry even after COVID . They aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, we will be lucky if Cooper takes his mask mandate down before the 2024 election .

Yeah that's the thing. Once covid is gone, you think everything is going back to the way it was? Haha not a chance. It never does. We will suffer more regulations, mandates, etc. Just watch.

Nah I doubt it. There is no benefit to ANYONE by having these regulations in place. Government loses money by loss in tax revenue and increased costs from regulation. Why would the government continue mandates... just because?

Which is why, in the face of much opposition, I detest these mandates.

To mask debate or not.......sorry haha.

Oh I guarantee you there will be new laws, rules, regulations, mandates that are put in place. You think we'll just go back like it never happened? Not a chance. You'll be required to get the vaccine if you want to do certain things. The hospitality and service industry will have new standards that will have to be maintained. And on and on. This is what happens. Every. Single. Time.

Yea probably will be vaccine mandates through government (school comes to mind) or private business mandate (employment). I thought your comment was directed at mask / other restrictions. Just curious what are some other similar examples that have happened where things didn't go back to the way they were?
