So, apparently, the virus only infects white people.

Coronavirus
The mask thing hasn’t been about protecting yourself from contracting it but rather spreading it to others. Respirators protect you against it but since the virus is tiny and goes straight through masks it hasn’t been about protecting yourself.
That’s why your example breathing on a Petridish example works well with that
When someone is infected with coronavirus and every time you exhale the virus is attached to your water droplets. And that’s why masks work in helping curbing the virus. The whole “brainwash” meme above is meh. It’s called misinformation which has been #libertarianized
Coughing/sneezing into your arm or clothes is kinda the same as wearing a mask. Same principle.

Yeah...chunks of snot flying around in the air is a bad thing, no doubt. Especially if it's infected with an invisible little monster...a virus that can apparently sail right thru your weak little "mask"...but is stopped dead in it's tracks by the mask of the infected. OK, got it.
What's this...page 243 and we're still arguing that? Should be wearing googles, too. Snot in the eyeball is pretty gnarly, ya know.The end of the world for some...

Lol omg you crack me up.
Snot if you sneeze...water droplets if you cough. And no it is not stopped dead in its tracks. But inhibited considerably.
And I am sure we will keep debating this for another 243 pages because that is how it works around here.

Good discussion about masks. As y'all are aware, I'm a BIG skeptic when it comes to masks (as my sig indicates). But I had a conversation with a co-worker today who made it clear that masks were never intended to protect you from the virus -- they're intended to protect others. If you're infected, your breath expels billions, maybe trillions of Covid particles suspended in droplets. A mask won't catch them all, but it will stop about 75 - 80% of all infected particles, which is significant.
I couldn't refute that.It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Anything that spews from some other person's mouth is snot as far as I'm concerned. Nasty...especially if infected with cooties.
It dawned on me when I was 10 years old not to eat the birthday cake anymore...unless it was mine, of course.The end of the world for some...

I did read his statement. I understand what he is saying.
I don't understand what you are getting at. But that is okay.

Never mind...might be a little too close to Dennis Miller territory with that one.

Select the measure.
You can separate the numbers by COVID-19 or by Total deaths which add flu and pneumonia with COVID-19
Just the COVID numbers
Here is where you select the measure
Numbers with all three COVID-19, Flu, and pneumonia

I think this will go down as another example of the inefficiency of communicating via messages on the internet versus speaking face to face.
I know you had mentioned the droplet issue, but I didn't find that very compelling because my previous line of reasoning was this: OK, so the virus laden droplet lands on your mask, and then what? It dies? No -- what happens next is you suck it down your throat on your next series of breaths. So what's the point?
But my co-worker conceded that masks were never designed to be 100% effective -- they were only meant to cut down on the number of virus droplets that one respires into the air. And study after study has shown that they do reduce the virus load that infected folks release. Fair enough. I'm willing to accept that.
Does this mean I have to change my sig now?It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Rock on, Red Rocker.

“We have to save the world and this country from this economic thing that’s going to kill more people in the long run,” he explained. “I would rather see everyone go back to work.”
“If some of us have to sacrifice on that, OK,” he added. “I will die for my children and my grandchildren to have a life anywhere close to the life that I had in this wonderful country. That’s just the way that I feel about it. I’m not going to go around spreading the disease. But there may be a time where we have to sacrifice. I mean, how many people die on the Earth every day? I have no idea.”
Sammy, Nuge - is it just me, or do the level headed down to earth artists also make the greatest music?I learn from the mistakes of people who took my advice.
