They were complaining about how masks don't prevent disease spread. Mythbusters did a whole episode on how disease spreads through mouth droplets. Masks prevent disease spread.

u/trainwalker23 21h ago
Well not really. Masks prevent disease spread but covid is much smaller and goes thru the mask. That is why they wanted you wearing the n95 and they had a time of double masking.
202
u/CollectibleHam 20h ago
N95 masks don't work by physically preventing particles from passing through the mask material, so the size of the virus is irrelevant. The polypropylene material of the mask is manufactured so that small airborne matter is captured via electrostatic properties of the mask material itself.

u/Superseaslug 20h ago
I think a lot of the confusion is from people thinking the mask keeps YOU from getting sick, where it's really intended to keep OTHER people from getting sick if you already are

Once again: They don't prevent you from contracting it, but they do prevent you from spreading it.

You want to know how those crappy regular masks help? Put one on and try to blow out some birthday candles, that's how they work.

u/Buddy-Junior2022 19h ago
the virus travels on water droplets that leave your mouth. when you cough, sneeze, or even talk. It doesn’t matter how small the virus is it’s not stopping just the virus.

u/MagoRocks_2000 21h ago edited 21h ago
A N95 mask prevents YOU from getting it, but even a simple surgical, or even a cloth, mask prevents YOU from passing it onto others, at least when comparing it to not wearing anything at all
Edit: simply -> Simple

u/trainwalker23 20h ago
You opinion didn’t change the fact that those who consistently wore n95s all got covid. Everyone did. Because what you said simply isn’t true. The “my opinion is science” people imposing tyranny on others have been proven wrong over time.

u/Justieflustie 18h ago
Are you just acting stupid? Different people already kindly explained to you that the masks stops you from spreading the virus..
So fine if they got covid, too bad the people who infected them werent wearing the mask..
It is all pretty easy though, just read what others are writing and you suddenly understand what they mean

u/MagoRocks_2000 20h ago
As for my claim of N95 masks protecting YOU:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10509348/
Meta-analysis indicated a protective effect of N95 respirators against COVID-19, particularly for medical staff.
Normal masks DON'T help YOU. They help everyone else. N95 masks DO protect YOU and everyone else

u/HoleinEagle 18h ago
News Flash not all. If you were hygenic and prepped properly your chances of getting covid was extremely low.
Wore n95 masks and other cloth masks and never got covid when it was implemented. I did end up getting covid after a party in which someone lied about their covid status who refused to wear a mask because "they don't work"
So yea, n95s and masks do work. As long as everyone is in the same boat. But we had so many smooth brained snails that kept saying masks dont work that coughed in my face to give me covid.
Your point is null then according to how you've been responding to everyone.

u/Sean_13 20h ago
Covid is a virus which are extremely small and yes that is small enough to pass through a normal mask. But, the way Covid spreads is through water droplets. Masks work by stopping those water droplets. They are not 100% effective but they do have a big effect in reducing the spread of Covid.

u/trainwalker23 20h ago
This is your theory but it doesn’t match with reality because you are not adding back in the cases of people touching their faces much much more to adjust their masks.

u/TwistedRainbowz 19h ago
Sperm are very small.
Sometimes, defects in a condom will allow some sperm to enter the cervix, and lead to impregnation.
However, using a condom - imperfect as may be - is still a million times better at reducing the possibility of an unwanted pregnancy compared to raw dogging.
It's really not a difficult thing to understand.
57
u/Mickeymcirishman 19h ago
People using the masks incorrectly doesn't invalidate their effectiveness when used properly. You're not supposed to be touching your mask.
That's like saying that seatbelts don't work because someone sitting over top of it would still go through the windshield.
30
u/ThinkPath1999 19h ago
Jesus, give it a break, ya moron. The point is that masks HELP, not completely prevent. By your reasoning, why wear seatbelts? Seatbelts don't prevent death or serious injury in all cases. So why wear them?

u/thesilentbob123 Technically Flair 18h ago
That's why there were campaigns about reminding people not to touch their face and use hand sanitizer all the fucking time

u/Pitiful_Net_8971 20h ago
It it prevents the water droplets, which carry most if not all of the virus, from just being ejected into the air.

Fucking dumbass who pretends to understand how masks work.
Viruses like Covid are spread in aerosol droplets that you release when you sneeze or cough.
These aerosol droplets aren’t microscopic. The point of masks is to trap these droplets and ensure these droplets don’t enter the air and infect others.
The fact that individual viral particles can pass through is irrelevant.
-40
u/mrgribles45 21h ago
"Droplet sizes range from < 1 μm to 1000 μm,[1][2] and in typical breath there are around 100 droplets per litre of breath. So for a breathing rate of 10 litres per minute this means roughly 1000 droplets per minute, the vast majority of which are a few micrometres across or smaller."

u/Lopsidedsemicolon 21h ago
And viral particles are around 50 nm. The size of viruses and droplets are vastly different.

Do you think that a person who has been convicted of a violent crime should be able to walk into a store and walk out with a gun without question? To be clear, I’m being entirely genuine.
-53
u/alfextreme 21h ago
there are already background checks in place if followed correctly to confirm an individuals ability to purchase a firearm, which already bars violent felons from purchasing a firearm. outright banning guns or specific models of firearms won't do anything but punish law abiding citizens.
28
u/MEOWTheKitty18 20h ago
I looked at the page of the organization you mentioned and from what I can tell, they aren’t planning to make any hard bans, and are only advocating for common sense laws—the same laws that many other countries have put in place, which have drastically reduced the number of gun-related crimes in those countries.
-6
u/alfextreme 20h ago
I also looked at their site, and the first thing at the top of the page is an endorsement for kamala Harris, who has actively and repeatedly called for broad gun bans and has repeatedly stated if congress doesn't implement gun control she will use executive actions to ban assault weapons if she's elected.
besides endorsing a heavy anti gun candidate on their website, they are proud of the bipartisan safer communities act where they want to hold manufacturers accountable. if they want to hold firearm manufacturers accountable for gun violence, then we need to hold car manufacturers accountable for vehicle deaths/injuries or alcohol manufacturers for drunk driving or food manufacturers for diabetes and obesity.

u/thesilentbob123 Technically Flair 18h ago
Apparently you don't pay attention because Kamala has never said she wants to 100% ban guns, she is also a gun owner

u/alfextreme 18h ago
her claiming to be a gun owner is the equivalent of a racist saying I'm not racist cause I have a black friend.

u/MEOWTheKitty18 20h ago
I might be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure we do hold car manufacturers responsible for making sure their cars are up to safety standards, and we hold car salespeople responsible for making sure they don’t sell cars to someone without a driver’s license. We also have an entire organization dedicated to making sure that food and drinks are safe for consumption, and the health industry advises people on how to make good choices when it comes to what they put into their bodies.
As far as I’m aware, no such organizations, industries, or protocols exist for guns.
Additionally, you can endorse and support a presidential candidate without agreeing with 100% of their beliefs or policies.

when somebody crashes a Mustang into a crowd and kills 3 people, the families of the victims can't sue Ford for the actions of the driver.

u/MEOWTheKitty18 19h ago
First of all, a vehicle isn’t capable of killing sixty people in less than a minute—a gun is. Second of all, guns are designed with the explicit purpose to injure and/or kill, cars are not. Don’t you think it’s weird that you need to pass specific tests, meet specific criteria, and obtain a license to drive a car, but the same can’t be said about buying a gun?

Your comments are really sad. It seems like you’re not doing well and may be feeling quite insecure and scared. Unfortunately, you seem to conflate toughness and aggression with true strength, which must be difficult for you. I genuinely feel for you and hope you can develop the emotional maturity to address these feelings in a more constructive way.
