The Logic of Masks

THE LOGIC OF MASKS:

(Didn't write this. Copied from another source.)

If everyone is wearing masks to prevent COVID, then why are they ramping up Flu Shots to unprecedented levels?



Wouldn't masks also prevent the Flu?



Let's go out to eat, 2020 style...



1. Arrive at restaurant, take mask off mirror (or out of glove compartment) where it hangs or lays every day when not in use.



2. Slip it on, trying not to ruin the hair do.



*MAGICAL ANTI-GERM BARRIER ENGAGE!!!*



3. Proceed into restaurant, opening door with same handle grabbed by 200 people so far today.



4. Hostess has immediate seating for your woke party of three. Walk past entire restaurant of unmasked people. It's ok, they're sitting.



5. Sit down.



*SEATED ANTI-GERM FORCEFIELD ENGAGE!!!*



6. Safely within your anti-germ forcefield, remove mask. Browse menu while making relaxed inhales of the same recirculated AC air previously inside the lungs of the 200 people that also grabbed the door handle.



7. Waitress drops off drinks bare handed.



8. Grab drink with your bare hand. Sip leisurely, secure in knowing you're within your anti-germ forcefield of "seated-ness".



9. Too many drinks. Need to pee. Don the magical anti-germ barrier mask as you leave your anti-germ forcefield of "seated-ness"



10. Walk past 40 unmasked restaurant patrons. Open bathroom with same door knob grabbed by 100 other people so far today.



11. Return to table past same 40 unmasked restaurant patrons.



12. Remove mask. Once again safe in your anti-germ forcefield of "seated-ness". Waitress takes your sweaty drink glass with her bare hand, refills, hands back to you. You accept with your bare hand. Grab some bread and eat it. Same hand. Yum Yum.



13. Meal complete. Mask on. Walk past 40 unmasked patrons. Make full body contact with at least 4 people waiting at the hostess stand as you squeeze your way back to the door - no matter, they're all also wearing their magical anti-germ barriers.



14. Grab exit handle, which you are now the 220th person of the day to touch. Eating out successful.



15. Breathe a sigh of relief knowing that even after leaving the protection of your home and venturing out into the scary world of the public, you are essentially sterile thanks to your state approved methods of magical germ mitigation, THE MASK! -



I don't know who originally posted it... had to share.



Lastly, the air exchange carries viral particles all throughout the restaurant. This is where most infections from contact tracing occurred, not walking past someone in a restaurant or a store.



Ask yourself this, if you have no problem sitting without a mask while the wait-staff is the only one wearing one, can you walk past that same person in a grocery store without them wearing one?



The double standard and shaming needs to stop.



PS, since you're here, I might as well ask again: If we moved schools to restaurants can they THEN sit down in a room without a mask? Asking for the children.

The whole thing is pathetic!!
I'll put my faith in something besides a magical mask. Thanks

If you believe in the science behind wearing a mask but don't believe in the science that says life begins at conception, it is not science that you believe in. It is politics.

I believe that life begins at conception.
In fact, I know it does. When a cell divides and reproduces, that is life.
I believe that if I wear a seat belt, I have decreased my chances of serious injury in case of a crash. Not eliminated, but decreased.
I wash my hands after a trip to the bathroom. I believe it decreases my chances of getting sick.
I tell my kid's to drive carefully and not text and drive. I believe that to be good advice and may help to keep them safe.
I try to remember to stop at most stop signs. Don't want to cause a wreck.
If I open a can of spoiled food, I toss it. I guess I am afraid to eat it. It might make me sick.
If I have surgery, I expect that the operating room will have been cleaned and disinfected. I expect the doctor to wear a hair net and surgery mask before he does my heart surgery. Don't want him (or her) to drop their germs inside me.
All are precautions that will help to keep me safe.
I wear a mask this year for the same reasons. Just seems like it might help to keep me safe.
I don't begrudge those who don't, can't, won't wear a mast and hope that they would feel the same about my choices.
My faith is definitely not in the mask. But I have Hope that it will help.

Just enjoying being able to have these discussions.

Here are some videos that back some info I read early on from university studies of other air born viruses. It also is in line with what my sons doctor and some of my friends who have high risk children have been told.

This has been my complaint about the masks. I was actually not against masks until our leaders came out and said to wear any mask you can, even home made cloth masks, face buffs, etc. The science points directly against that so it made me question their credibility on the subject.

The science shows that when the nanoparticles are in your body and you cough or sneeze they attach to other minerals and things in your body. That is actually a good thing because the bigger the particles the faster they fall. The faster they fall to the ground the odds of transmission to the next person is almost zero. They knew years ago transmission had to happen by literally going from one person directly in to the next person. They knew years ago these viruses do not stay alive long on surfaces at all. They knew years ago the cloth masks actually cause the particles to atomize and travel further, increasing the odds of spreading the virus. Also, your odds of spreading the virus increase greatly in environments when the air is really clean. Being around dust and wind helps drastically with the virus particles going to the ground and not spreading to other people. These articles also knew years ago that most all theses airborne viruses did not travel more than six feet.

So I've read this and all the guidelines for covid come out and the govt eventually gets all their guidelines and how its spreads correct. They jive right with articles published years ago but the mask deal. They stand behind it to the end and go directly against proven science.

Finally it all comes to light when a buddy of mine who works for a Texas politician admits to me the masks are for a placebo effect. He said basically we (political leaders) spread so much fear that we cant just walk it back and open things up because the at risk people, mainly older aged people, who make up a large voting population, will eat us up and say we dont care.

When you put all the puzzle pieces together it all makes sense.

On a side note, I can not find the articles i rea pit out by the universities to save my life. I have looked multiple times but the search engines are flooding me with nonsense instead of the real, scientific article. I believe one was discussing mad cow disease studies because it is also spread by an air born virus. I'm not a 100% on that but I think that was the virus referred to in one of the articles.
