Some masks can filter viruses, though not perfectly.Happy .. face masks cannot filter out viruses in any case.
They just stop people breathing directly in your face, the same as a shield.
In, say a closed in railway carriage, viruses will still be in circulation despite everybody wearing a mask.
I'm not saying that they do nothing to help stop the spread.
..but they don't do a lot.
That is why we had lockdowns.
They don't need to filter viruses. They just need to filter the water droplets that contain the viruses.Happy .. face masks cannot filter out viruses in any case.
I've already said that they have some effect.They don't need to filter viruses. They just need to filter the water droplets that contain the viruses.
That's the problem. It was originally thought that the virus was spread by droplet contamination. Now it's known that the buggers can also become airborn.They don't need to filter viruses. They just need to filter the water droplets that contain the viruses.
If you think face masks are over the top, try working in fields that care for the vulnerable. My mother works in disability. Right now she has to wear a fitted mask, a full surgical gown, gloves, face shield and it all has to be air tight.I think we all know that.
A govt. making it mandatory means that it is a criminal offence to not wear a mask unless you have an exemption.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, I am not in favour of criminalising people for not wearing a surgeon's mask.
Where does it all end?
Is that why they’re now recommending the N95 masks?That's the problem. It was originally thought that the virus was spread by droplet contamination. Now it's known that the buggers can also become airborn.
what does the CDC say. I think that's what matters. Not what we think. Are you playing expert, or do the real experts concur?The Omicron variant causes a very mild illness, and most of the population here is vaccinated. These are the relevant facts.
It's England.In the UK.
Does this make you happy or worried?
I saw them late 70s. Just sitting there, I got stoned!I started listening to Hawkwind again.
Forgotten how good they were tbh.

Johnson being PM still could make me happy?
I'll still wear a mask. Of course that's mostly to protect others. I'm not unduly concerned, I'll still socially distance and keep socialising and shopping to the minimum. My covidiot neighbour (whose business involves handling food and oh guess what, he just caught covid) won't be coming into my house any time soon.
I couldn't name them cuz I don't know them.Hey, what about my family and friends?
That's a bit melodramatic, isn't it?Not wearing a mask risks the lives of others..
A number of pilots have taken all the passengersI would say go maskless if its your choice, or at your peril only, but its not. Not wearing a mask risks the lives of others, like the guy who commits suicide must take others with him/her.
