‘’It’s droplets, it’s aerosols, it’s it’s it’s better than nothing, it might make 1% difference.’’ Give it up, unless you’re wearing a proper mask it’s garbage and can actually make more of a problem. Notice parts of Britain that prove you wrong. Social distancing is fine, this one cloth measure is false hope and often not needed. It’s been virtually no issue whatsoever for shop workers. People actually start believing masks make them safe and stop the distancing. I’ve seen lots of it, while wearing a cloth that could make as little as 3% difference and as much as 20%, if you had it on so tight you couldn’t speak or even breathe and probably about 3 of them. Edited by Rudi Hedman (10 Dec 2020 11.38am) Why are you still peddling this nonsense? We dealt with this pages ago. Wearing a mask is NOT, repeat NOT, done to protect YOU. It is to protect others FROM you. If everyone does it, everyone is protected. Not perfectly but sufficiently to make it a sensible part of the precautions we all need to take. People that have a medical problem can gain dispensation but most of us manage perfectly well.

Good evening. Yep. Looks like you knocked that up yourself in Microsoft Word Decent effort TBF Further - point 19, which I assume is what you’ve chosen to zero in on without debating the rest of the context in the post, refers to a driver who was wearing an n95 medical mask for prolonged periods of time. Not a cloth mask. Not a multilayered fabric mask. Not a type of mask that most people will be wearing on a day to day basis. If you actually read my post, I specifically mention medical grade, tightly sealed masks as being problematic. They’re not necessary for general use and are not designed for everyday wear. Also the lack of specifics in that barrage of points renders it mostly useless. ‘A mask’. Because of course, all masks are identical. If you’re going to quote research at least be specific about the variables. How ironic that something supposed to be scientific is actually incredibly unscientific.

Not sure the argument is all masks bad Just those ones are pointless

Clearly that’s my one aim in life, to focus 100% on getting everyone ever to wear masks 24/7. Even pets. Get it on the guinea pig now! Have you no shame! If you were actually able to be balanced and understand context and nuance rather than defaulting to a tribal and binary masks good / masks bad POV, you’d be able to answer your own question quite easily. But to help you out, I’ll Summarise what I’ve already said as you seem to be unable to understand that things are more complex than bad vs good, all in vs not at all. Seems to be a common trait with some on here • Single layer clothmasks are pointless. • The average person does not need to wear medical grade masks, eg n95 models. These items are not designed for extended use, and will cause respiratory issues. Fabric masks, of the kind most people wear, will not. • the best types of mask are ones without valves, multilayered and ideally with replaceable filters, and anti bacterial properties. And even more importantly, bought from reputable sources. The ones used in F1, for example. • And an additional bonus point - People don’t need to wear masks 24/7. Only in indoor areas with poor ventilation or high traffic Edited by SW19 CPFC (10 Dec 2020 10.46pm)

Where do you get these worthwhile masks for when they’re needed? You can get money raped for these masks if you do t know what you’re buying. Social media full of con artists.

Either the disposable ones or the bits of cloth with flowers on.

Not sure the argument is all masks bad Just those ones are pointless If you go back a few pages he was banging on about this and the main thrust was that they offered no protection, when the whole point isn't self-protection at all. I would argue than any kind of face covering that restricts the spread of a sneeze or cough going too far distant and some of it being caught on the material is better than it going into the air. Using a handkerchief or even a sleeve is also better than nothing. That was the point I was making.
