They don’t work, it’s actually bad to keep breathing in your own carbon dioxide (go figure). Eventually your lungs will suffer from this. Overall wearing these masks actually lower your immune system; pretty counter productive huh cdc.

You don't breath in your own carbon dioxide. N95 masks have 0.3 micron holes to catch droplets in your breath while carbon dioxide particles are 0,00065 microns in size... meaning they pass right through the mask
Okay that doesn't make sense at all. They can certainly stop a virus if they're able to trap basic oxygen in your mouth. I've also been wearing my mask for more than 10 months now and I'm just fine
It's called outside the corners. It's not welded onto your face. Medical doctors wear these masks all the time. No scientist guaranteed 110% efficiency purely with a mask, hence why no skin contact, stand 6 feet apart, and no large gatherings. Now tell me. If it doesn't stop a virus, how does it suffocate you?
@Ephemera1 I would love to hear your knowledge on the subject rather than making a simple statement. Is it false info that breathing in too much of your own carbon dioxide is bad for you I. E. leading to hypercapnia if you have prolonged exposure. also I suppose it’s false that a life threatening virus can go in through the sides, top, and underneath a mask. It’s good to know there are still media brainwashed fools out there.
@Galieator a mask has openings all around it, it’s enough room for your breath to leave but, not to take in a healthy amount of oxygen. The virus is on a molecular level and is life threatening; how would a mask (which is meant to prevent saliva leaving a doctors mouth) going to save the day?
I literally explained to you that the mask alone isn't the buy-all-end-all solution and that not one expert has said such. It contributes to it to prevent germs from escaping your mouth. If it was the buy-all-end-all solution, they wouldn't say stand 6 feet apart, isolate if you're infected, get the vaccine when it's available and limit your social gatherings. I have been wearing my mask for 10 months, been washing it each week and continuously swapping it out. I am breathing just fine. If you're outside without anyone around you, and you practice proper distancing while not infected, then you don't even need to keep it on, as they have stated! Half my friends are asthmatic or have another respiratory problem, so by your logic they should be dead, yet they aren't and they have been wearing it as often as myself. You're wrong
@Galieator who said it suffocated? The virus is on a molecular level and can pass through a simple mask. However, the mask is not letting in a healthy amount of oxygen and after long term exposure to breathing in too much carbon dioxide; it can have bad affects.
"Eventually your lungs will suffer from this because it reduces your oxygen intake" You're basically saying it will suffocate. And again, that doesn't make sense because you additionally said it doesn't work against the virus. You can't have it both ways. That's like saying you can't drive a car but you can drive a pickup
@Galieator who said they should be dead? I said long term exposure can have serious affects and how this doesn’t help stop a virus. I know you didn’t say it was the end all solution however, that doesn’t change the fact that these mask are counterproductive and if you still think they help and aren’t unhealthy then there’s nothing left to say
Show me scientific evidence from a credited source that says so. Because if it reduces the oxygen levels that bad, people with respiratory problems such as asthma would be dying in greater numbers than the 1.5 million covid deaths
@Galieator what are you not getting? A virus is on a molecular level and can pass through and multiply but, the amount of carbon dioxide we are breathing out doesn’t have enough room to leave nor is a HEALTHY AMOUNT of oxygen coming through. The mask is enough of a barrier to trap enough of carbon dioxide through BUT, will not keep a life threatening virus from wntering
@vviiccttoorr The virus is on a molecular level but it doesn't just float out of your body, it's inside the body and when we talk we spit and those droplets contain the virus. Try and sneeze onto a napkin and cover your mouth as well as you can. That's how masks work, they catch most of it so you spread as little as possible. Oxygen and carbon dioxide pass through the mask and through the sides. The mask is not magic, it just prevents most of the spreading of these droplets containing the virus. The virus is tiny, the droplets are bigger and the mask acts as a filter.
I'm C. I don't have my family whit me, i don't have grand parents, i'm young and not have any other respiratory problems. If i get infected i can't die, if i infect somebody else i don't care about him. You humanity don't care about me so i don't care about you guys as well. I will not wear any mask no mather how serios this situation will become.
@Zhisad I had been infected already, i'm still alive. Who is young and have no healt probleams already can't die. Media say that you can die because they want to keep people more isolated and whit more restriction in order to finish this virus. I had more painful and dificul disease in the past then COV-19
I don’t have an opinion matching them. I live in Australia and we are not forced to wear masks (WA) so therefore I don’t. The only place they force us afaik is outside I’m and inside Apple stores.

How's it working in your area? I read that some places -in Australia- were thinking about going back to lockdown
Well I mean Victoria had it pretty bad but recently with up to 20000 cases thus far, the worst in the nation. They were in lockdown. Don’t really concern myself with the news though. The are only like 2 active cases in wa last time I checked so that’s good. If I was in the US, I’d wear a mask for sure if I was out in public.
I don't believe it stops anything. When I can walk past a girl and still smell her perfume and actually smell it longer because in my opinion I think it traps the air between the mask and your mouth making you breathe the germs longer
I know that. Where did you learn that masks are meant to protect the user? "CUTS YOUR CHANCES IN HALF" Where did you learn that? I can't find anything about it
Is it a conspiracy theory to suggest that dictatorships have existed in recent times and that some exist today?

I believe that's a fact. A conspiracy is telling people that a disease isn't real and that the ways to prevent getting infected are actually detrimental to people's health ☹️
Covid isn't significantly worse than the flu at this point. I didn't wear a mask for the flu im not going to wear one for covid.

It's deadly for old people and people with underlying issues, few healthy people die too. We would recover, the thing is we can still spread it and infect other people who might not recover like we would. Like my grandparents or my brother who's disabled and highly medicated.
And? Thats exactly the same as flu. People have been dying from it every year. Did you ever care to pay attention to those people dying or did you only care when CNN told you to?
I don't watch cnn and in my country flu shots were free for the elder and people with underlying conditions. Both my grandparents and my brother get the shots every year except this one
@bamesjond0069 Most people have a degree of immunity to the flu as they've had it before. The only thing the flu jabs really do is boost that immunity. We don't have a degree of immunity to Covid since none of us have had it before which is why we need to wear masks until the vaccines are sorted and we can go back to normal.
@bamesjond0069 Doesn't matter if you're healthy, you can still catch it and spread it to other which is the point in the mask. As for dying from it, you might be healthy and not die from it but you could also have an underlying condition that hasn't presented itself yet so if that's the case it could kills you. Best to wear the mask
@Silver158 nothing you said differentiates between the flu and covid in any sort of substantial way. Maybe a specific bullet point about how covid is way worse than flu, something that doesn't apply to the flu so that i can actually know what you're talking about.
of course it is have you been paying attention to the number climbing the way they have been? Or are you ignoring it because it doesn't conform to your internal narrative and fully embracing your cognitive dissonance?
Have you seen the cases rising when countries aren't in lockdown? It's exponential growth something you don't see happen as quickly when it comes to the flu.
@Silver158 the way they count cases isn't apples to apples. So i dont think you can just put the numbers together and have it make sense. You would think if the scientists were so smart they would standardize how the track diseases but nope they dont.
@Silver158 this does not address testing. More people take corona tests vs flu tests therefore there are more known cases. So i dont know how accurate these numbers are that rely on general testing information. But give you the benefit of the doubt, if it really is 2.2 then that means every single person in the world is going to be exposed to it at some point basically. So slowing it really doesn't do anything. Remember the flatten the curve? Dont overload hospitals? Well hardly anyone needs hospital care from corona virus. So thats not an issue. Either you're going to get it this year or next year. Is one really any better?
@Silver158 well that was disingenuous especially since i mentioned specific numbers out of the article. But thats what i expected, this is what people who are irrational do when confronted with logical questions.
it's fairly obvious you're ignoring clear evidence that contradicts your own opinions just to justify your conduct of not wearing a mask. It's called cognitive dissonance.
@Silver158 what evidence? I used your evidence to prove my point. At 2.2 everyone will get exposed to it. General masks make no difference. If you dont want your grandma to get it she should wear an n95 mask and stay home. This will actually make a difference. Cloth masks on healthy people do nothing. Yeah the 2.2 will be 2.1. Useless change.
@Galieator dont see any facts about how the covid is substantially different than the flu such a mask would make sense to wear. But sure keep posting saying im stupid. Everyone knows the best way to present facts is to call someone stupid and not share them. Lmfao. Smh.
@bamesjond0069 you already had facts presented to you and shoved your head further into the sand by refusing to read them so yea you're just stupid lmao
@Galieator the fact that its contagious? Yeah i agree. So whats a cloth mask going to do? Per the evidence posted its so contagious everyone will be exposed. That means a cloth mask won't do anything.
I wear one when I go out, but I had to quit my job because the masks caused me migraines and made me throw up if I had it on for over an hour. Medical masks are the worst.
The CDC and WHO have also both condemned the use of government lockdowns.
What say you, Karen? You support the lockdowns, don't you? You support New York Governor Cuomo taking his own mother out of the state-run nursing home and putting her in private care first before he started dumping covid patients into the nursing homes, killing 6,500 other people's mothers and fathers. Right?
How come the doctors and healthcare workers who should be the most worried about Covid, who are telling everybody else to be worried, are the least worried themselves once the cameras are off? Could it be that they know they are lying to stupid people?
They do not catch small particles found in wildfire smoke, that's not how this specific mask work. Masks are meant to filter the wearer's breath and not the air around the wearer. It's a "breath filter" meaning the user can still inhale what's in the air, it's not hermetic it's a barrier to stop the droplets in our breath from spreading and possibly infecting other people. I will report you if you can't be civil.
Why bother with a poll where every response is slanted?

The answers to this question do a great job at proving the uneducated pretend to be the most knowledgeable.
Okay that doesn't make sense at all. They can certainly stop a virus if they're able to trap basic oxygen in your mouth. I've also been wearing my mask for more than 10 months now and I'm just fine
Question: So if our breath passes right through the mask then how does a life threatening virus not pass through?
It's called outside the corners. It's not welded onto your face. Medical doctors wear these masks all the time. No scientist guaranteed 110% efficiency purely with a mask, hence why no skin contact, stand 6 feet apart, and no large gatherings. Now tell me. If it doesn't stop a virus, how does it suffocate you?

Media brainwashing=people who don't buy into something that doesn't make any sense
Watch Chikachu's video where he ran a kilometer with ten masks on
@Galieator a mask has openings all around it, it’s enough room for your breath to leave but, not to take in a healthy amount of oxygen. The virus is on a molecular level and is life threatening; how would a mask (which is meant to prevent saliva leaving a doctors mouth) going to save the day?

I can't wear one due to a lung degeneration Vaccines will cause me more harm than good as presently I only have 1 and a half functional lung capacity
None of the above. I’m autistic and have sensory issues with things on my face, especially covering both my mouth and nose.
I'm also autistic and have similar sensory problems. Still wearing a mask and have been for the past 10 months
@Galieator
Same😂 I was getting used to it, sort of, and then I didn’t go anywhere for awhile and now I hate it again.
Only problem I have is the fact that my beard makes it itch but that's still manageable
@Galieator My father also has a beard and he has the same problems. He wears a a bandana style mask.
having conspiracy theories was never wrong. they can and should be investigated, causse if they turn out to be right, something needs to be fixed.
What are you saying girl I wear my mask even in my room..
Saying you are free to choose and free to infect others is similar to saying that you have a right to drive drunk.
It is. Asymptomatic people think they're healthy and drunk people think they can drive lol
There is absolutely no reason to not wear one. People are selfish.
I don't believe it stops anything. When I can walk past a girl and still smell her perfume and actually smell it longer because in my opinion I think it traps the air between the mask and your mouth making you breathe the germs longer
I voted for the best meme and Homer Simpson wins :3
Yeah covid isn't real your all sheep for believing in it
Why do you think COVID is not real?
@Inbox because they're slapping covid on people dying with pre existing conditions
I choose to socially distance and keep 10 feet away from other people.
people who don't wear it either
don't think they're effective (yes, you can still get it, wearing them but, it CUTS YOUR CHANCES IN HALF, by wearing it)
Don't believe covid is real
Where did you learn that? As I understand it the mask is meant to prevent asymptomatic people from spreading the virus to other people.
you can still get the virus, wearing the mask. it just, cuts it down in half
I read. Where did you learn that the mask protects you from getting the virus?
because it easily spreads through the air
you're more likely to get it through the air, than by touch
I know that. Where did you learn that masks are meant to protect the user? "CUTS YOUR CHANCES IN HALF" Where did you learn that? I can't find anything about it

@bamesjond0069 But it's more contagious than the flu... Which means you're more likely to kill your gran.
I don't watch cnn and in my country flu shots were free for the elder and people with underlying conditions. Both my grandparents and my brother get the shots every year except this one
Would that be the UK perchance? Because we do that here. I had to get one this year as I'm immunosuppressant
But why didn't y'all wear masks then?
@bamesjond0069 Most people have a degree of immunity to the flu as they've had it before. The only thing the flu jabs really do is boost that immunity. We don't have a degree of immunity to Covid since none of us have had it before which is why we need to wear masks until the vaccines are sorted and we can go back to normal.
@Silver158 why does any of that matter? Im a healthy person. Im not significantly more likely to catch or die from flu vs covid. Why a mask?
@bamesjond0069 Doesn't matter if you're healthy, you can still catch it and spread it to other which is the point in the mask. As for dying from it, you might be healthy and not die from it but you could also have an underlying condition that hasn't presented itself yet so if that's the case it could kills you. Best to wear the mask
@Silver158 so how is that different from the flu? Everything you said applies to the flu as well.
Read my previous comments.
@Silver158 nothing you said differentiates between the flu and covid in any sort of substantial way. Maybe a specific bullet point about how covid is way worse than flu, something that doesn't apply to the flu so that i can actually know what you're talking about.
@bamesjond0069 "But it's more contagious than the flu... Which means you're more likely to kill your gran." just ignoring that then are you?
and yeah seems like you need bullet points to understand things.
@Silver158 its not significantly more contagious.
of course it is have you been paying attention to the number climbing the way they have been? Or are you ignoring it because it doesn't conform to your internal narrative and fully embracing your cognitive dissonance?
@Silver158 thats not true. The covid numbers haven't been cycled by season like the flu. They are relatively similar.
Have you seen the cases rising when countries aren't in lockdown? It's exponential growth something you don't see happen as quickly when it comes to the flu.
@Silver158 the way they count cases isn't apples to apples. So i dont think you can just put the numbers together and have it make sense. You would think if the scientists were so smart they would standardize how the track diseases but nope they dont.

should I link you more articles proving you wrong so you can disregard those as well?
@Silver158 your article didn't prove your point. It said its very contagious. And so? It is. I dont disagree.
yes it did
@Silver158 don't argue with stupid people like him. You can present all the facts possible and they'll still insist they're right
@Galieator dont see any facts about how the covid is substantially different than the flu such a mask would make sense to wear. But sure keep posting saying im stupid. Everyone knows the best way to present facts is to call someone stupid and not share them. Lmfao. Smh.
