So if anything can be worn as a mask, including a bandana, then how effective is this ‘rule’ anyway?

Permanent heart/lung damage and liver failure are “barely harmful?”

If you end up on a ventilator you won't be singing this tune. People like you need to stop playing with this virus because it is not a joke.

Two months after recovering from it and my respiratory function is markedly decreased from what it was pre-COVID (wheezing, getting winded faster/random shortness of breath, etc.).

I'm not sure what your definition of "barely harmful" is, DTT, but I'm still feeling the effects from it.

Permanent lung damage and liver failure are “barely harmful?”



Nobody here has any illusions about a utopia. The fact that 4.3 million people have gotten this virus and you aren't one of them speaks to the innate injustice of the world.

Out of 320 million. That is just the number for the US.

I was clearly counting the world. I do not know the numbers because I don’t obsess over something that is so insignificant. Continue watching your fear mongering CNN lol

And death shouldn't come along quicker than it has to. Seems to me that wearing a mask is a small price to pay for preserving health, but maybe I'm just a communist that doesn't know anything.

So since death is inevitable I guess everyone should commit suicide just to get it over with. Or perhaps public health is more important than a non-existent “constitutional right” to spread a deadly virus. People like you make me wonder if Covid is nature’s way of pouring chlorine in the gene pool.

Because it blocks a good percentage of their droplets from flying into the air and getting into someone else’s respiratory track.

No, it does not. Bandanas have been proven to be ineffective!

The science has already been explained.  Masks provide limited protection for yourself, though not entirely, but most importantly they reduce the droplets you send into the air.  Those droplets can spread well beyond six feet also.

Having a loved one be diagnosed with this disease changed my perspective a lot.  Just because it isn't a death sentence doesn't mean it's not harmful and it could very well result in permanent lung damage as the early-2000's SARS pandemic did for many people.  It won't kill you to wear a mask for twenty minutes when you're doing your shopping.  If you think that's a bigger threat to your freedoms than police brutality, I don't know what to tell you.

Trump is right to not federally mandate it.

Even a simple bandana stops you from touching your nose and mouth with your bare hand. This is one of the ways flu and coronaviruses are spread. You touch a contaminated surface and then touch your mouth or nose, this is why something as simple as vigorous hand-washing with soap is recommended. If Covid-19 is airborne which seem likely the bandana would be less effective against that but still a barrier from you touching your mouth and nose. Pandemics are a numbers game and the more doors you close for stoping new cases the better we'll be at tackling this problem.

That’s not true either! Covid doesn’t stay on surfaces very long. Christ, CNN really is fake news.

Depending on the surface and environment(indoors vs outdoors) it can stay on a surface from a few minutes to a few days according to research available.

I bet you also believe that your doctor is poisoning you so that you stay sick and addicted to Big Pharma’s medication and the only real way to get healthy is to give yourself a bleach enema because that’s what the internet says.

So if anything can be used to wash your hands, including water, then how effective is this ‘rule’ anyway? And witches are exempt? I really do not understand. The Plague has been unmasked. #SecurityTheater

The Plague isn’t that deadly, and it’s barely harmful. Peasants are dumb.
