Hey /sci/ do you know the exact science of wearing a mask and it helps stop the spread of covid-19?

the economy isn't doing too bad though, and masks and proven to reduce the spread. I don't think it's a bad idea. Masks are a good tool in general.

Oh boy covid is a disease you can't see it but it's there...

have you ever heard of air OP do you know what air is?

You can't see air but it is there all around you.

Covid can be inside of your coughs or sneezes or even your breath when you talk, so if you have a mask on then the air leaves and enters from the sides of the mask and the top and bottom instead of the front so it doesn't go into somebody's face when you talk to them.

Put glasses on,

breathe without a mask and see what happens.

Put the mask on and glasses on and breathe with the mask on heavily

If the top of the mask is open then the glasses will fog up because it is the same as breathing on the glasses because your air is coming out the top instead of the front now.

some still has to go through the mask too, so you can breathe. So that's a limitation. But I wish people would think more about mask design.

>> No.11960858

>>11960736
It slightly filters the air around you and virtue signals that you care about other people's health. In all reality you're more likely to get covid19 through your hands, your face, and contact with your clothes - but a mask is a convenient cheap thing that government can make mandatory to give the false impression that a wildfire pandemic is under control when it's not.

Most of us are going to get covid19 at some point, if we haven't' already gotten it, and it will come from your groceries or imperfect handwashing that will transfer it to you mouth. Mask is a symbol to placate sheep that they're safe and to give the government brownie points.

>> No.11960870

I have no comment on the political situation surrounding masks and social control. However, from a scientific perspective, people should be wearing masks that are effective if we want them to be safe.

What's the point of reducing spread when we're all gonna get infected eventually ? I bet we all did by now but pointlessly wear masks that most people don't even change or wash. It's unironically better to get immunity.
>inb4 no proof for immunity
There is literally no proof for anything with this virus. One day I read couple of articles claiming one thing and the next day a totally opposite thing.

This. It sucks wearing glasses with a mask, I can't see shit through the fog. Of course, this is somewhat dependant on air temp. as well.

Didn't you hear? Herd immunity is a good thing but you have to wear a mask to stop the spread, but immunity doesn't even work for Covid but we have to wait for the vaccine, which will probably be mandatory.

It's a major crisis; a virus so deadly that up to 45% of people who get it exhibit no symptoms whatsoever, and the chances of dying are infinitesimal unless you're a geriatric or have no immune system. That's why we have to shut down economies, institute curfews and distancing orders, and force everyone to wear a mask, so that that most vulnerable segment of the population doesn't die slightly earlier than they were going to. This is a perfectly reasonable approach to public health, and we should all embrace the new normal.

>> No.11963577

I dont know how most dumbasses haven't gotten to the point yet but masks dont help prevent YOU from getting the virus, but help prevent others from getting it if you have it. The mask stunts the distance particles from your mouth move out when you breath. We know this due to heat mapping mask use. Selfish snothats only think about themselves and how every action benefits them. And before you ask, you could have the virus and not know it, as symptoms could not appear for up to a month after contracting. This isn't some weird scheme by the government, and I dont know how you could even assume it was. What could the government possibly gain from mask use? Mask sales? Most stupid bullshit claim. Just classic anti-government npc rabble. Learn to stop being self-centered assholes and think for yourselves. It's why you have no friends

Such desperation. Wear your mask, goy. Stay at home. Wear the goggles. Stay away from friends and family. Download the tracing app. Get the vaccine every 3 months. Implant the immunity chip.

No, but spit does, you're just not seeing the fine particles. Breathing and talking both release droplets and aerosols.

>and normal civilised people will cough into something not directly at peoples faces
Like a mask? Because if you're coughing into your elbow then you're not really doing anything, and if you cough enough that you carry around a cough rag, then why are you leaving the house?

That's actually a very low asymptomatic rate compared to many viruses if true.

If the virus is in stagnant air the virus will land on the material of your face covering and stay there. If there is a force propelling the virus infested air a typical face covering will only reduce the virus by a small amount because the virus can permeate through the material but this amount will be much less than if you didn't have any face covering. Just keep your mouth closer and nose breathing as calmly as possible, usually some meek people get startled when someone coughs or sneezes near them which effectively leaves an opening for the virus to enter, if you are this type of person, you need to stay away from people and be prepared for random sneezes or coughs.

It does, but it's fairly insignificant in comparison to reducing traffic, public gatherings, handwashing, social distance etc.

I remember when the corona situation in the West wasn't yet critical and American MSM was focusing on the Trump impeachment theater and condemning corona alarmists, most of 4chan was for precaution, panic, stocking food, masks, etc. And now this. Really shows this place is just contrarian central, just another model of NPCs programmed to oppose the more common model of NPCs in every single issue.

I fell like the goverment is lacing the masks with poison in side the polymere matrix. Once dampened and heated through exhale the poisonous fumes evaporate and can be inhaled. This is a mask kkill scenario. They are following the Georgia guide stones and want to reduce the population to an easly manageable size.

What in the fuck are you talking about you fucking negro.

The US has 300 million people but only a mere 100 thousand died since this started.

Are you brain dead or are you brain dead?

China would be more interested in that but they still until this day have the largest population in all of history, and it doesn't seem they are going somewhere anytime soon.
