Where did you get the information to form the judgement that they are useless? I’m genuinely interested. I never said I was superior to anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The important word with mask wearing is “reduces”. Nobody claims they kill the virus or stop it’s transmission. Wearing a mask reduces the amount that the virus spreads. The science supports it. If nobody wore a mask the transmission and prevalence of the virus would be much higher than it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad you think they are working, maybe you could let boris know, he might remove this latest lockdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reduces the spread. Reduces. There would be more cases if people didn't wear masks. I can't believe we're still having to have this discussion, 9 months in. Christ. Anyway, wrong thread. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why bother with chemotherapy if some cancer patients still die? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted November 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2020 Putting your hand in front of your face when you sneeze or cough obviously doesn't 'stop' the spread of germs, but it has some effect, so it's simple good manners to do it. Wearing a face covering (over the nose, natch) in public is clearly going to be better than than that, even if not 100%. So, common sense, good manners, and hardly any great imposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted November 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2020 I've seen this non-argument from Trumpidiots on social media - if masks work, why do we need social distancing? And if social distancing works, why do we need masks? I despair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 25 minutes ago, hycus-flange said: It was your use of “idiots” that riled me, (as if you are superior) noticed how you said you only stare at them “Roy Kane style” from behind your ill fitting piece of cloth though, but don't say anything as you probably haven’t got the minerals for a confrontation. btw, you’re the one who has bought up conspiracy theories I can’t be sorry for using the word “idiots”, because that’s what someone is if they refuse to wear a mask in enclosed public spaces. In my opinion, of course. It’s not even a minor inconvenience to just pop on one when you go into a shop, and help reduce the spread of the disease. Anyway, this has been done to death, and it’s in the wrong thread. Back on topic now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can be used both ways when the "tolerate right" can't even tolerate wearing a mask despite evidence showing it can help reduce the spread of a virus. Now which one is more pathetic? Not doing as you've been asked? Or moaning about someone moaning about someone not doing as they've been asked? You often don't see the brick falling on your head on a building site, but it's still there. Wear a hard hat. Problem solved. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
