I don't care if it is a freaking thong over your face. It is better than nothing. Look at Hong Kong which resembles New York. They all do and their infected numbers are considerably lower. I read an article about someone in China having coronavirus on a bus and everyone got infected except for the 13 or so wearing masks. I'm too tired to post links but if you want to verify the advantages of wearing them, just google it!!!

I get there is not enough so save the surgical and n95 masks for the medical fields.

Mandate that all clothing companies start making the best masks they can for everyone else. This is an untapped market and probably where we are headed anyways. They can make masks of all kinds appealing to the masses, ATM masks, Metallica masks, Justin Beaver masks etc...I don't care what they look like. Just freaking make them. Please, pretty please.
I'm disappointment with my fellow Aggies on here.

Seems a good 80% listen to every word their government says and is willing to line up for the mark of the beast and experimental RNA vaccines not even tested on animals. Have fun with the side effects 5-7 years from now.
I'm not lining up. And...I checked my head, it only says '665.5'....so whew!

66% of all US cases are withing 3 1/2 hours of Washington, DC. DC, NY, NJ, CT and Philly. This" circle of hysteria" is being driven by the bureaucracy, media and career politicians (who all still get paid by the way). Every new data set that comes out says:

1) the Wuhan virus is minimally 10x more widespread; and up to 85X more widespread; thus meaning much less lethal than advertised
2) was here earlier than the widely advertised date; and that it dates back into early January; and possibly even late December; thus again speaking to a much wider spread and lower lethality
3) hospitals are not overtaxed; in fact they are shutting down and laying off what were thought to be "essential workers"
4) no shortage of beds, ICU or ventilators; USN medical ships are not needed.
5) politicians are ****ing leaches on the ass of society...just listen to Cuomo's latest video...it makes Pelosi seem like Tom Joad

I will accept nothing less than 100% return to normal. I want to be packed into ****ing Kyle Field when we beat LSU this fall and hug a stranger when we in in double OT. 10,000 years of civilization says all this is complete bull*****

Thank you Harris county. Better late than never. I applaud you for making a sensible decision that I pushed for 3 weeks ago. More counties will follow suit.
You can now safely leave your home. You are not in danger anymore.
Continue to practice guidelines set forth by your local leaders
No thanks.

But I will continue to ignore anything that you think is "for the common good"
Well it's not just me, but it's your life and those around you.
Same thing every time you choose to get behind the wheel. We should heavily restrict driving and only let people drive during certain hours and to/from certain places. OMG How many traffic fatalities a year could be avoided?! Maybe we can also dictate what people can eat/drink? Does this type of talk turn you on???

Spoiler : Masks-for-all for COVID-19 not based on sound data
Quotes from the article:

"The best filter tests use worst-case conditions: high flow rates (80 to 90 liters per minute [L/min]) with particle sizes in the least efficiency range. This guarantees that filter efficiency will be high at typical, lower flow rates for all particle sizes. Respirator filter certification tests use 84 L/min, well above the typical 10 to 30 L/min breathing rates."
-Shot a big hole in their own study, me I don't plan on wearing one in a category 5 hurricane.

"Studies should also use well-characterized inert particles (not biological, anthropogenic, or naturogenic ones)"
-Seriously, do I even need to explain how stupid this is.

"Filter efficiency was measured across a wide range of small particle sizes (0.02 to 1 m) at 33 and 99 L/min. N95 respirators had efficiencies greater than 95% (as expected). For the entire range of particles tested, t-shirts had 10% efficiency, scarves 10% to 20%, cloth masks 10% to 30%, sweatshirts 20% to 40%, and towels 40%."
-yikes, even using inert particles (unlike the sticky coronavirus covered in a sticky lipid & protein coating designed through evolution to help it stick to its victim) these materials still had some filter capabilities.

Note: the covid-19 virus I believe is 0.14 m (please correct me if I'm wrong).
The study above used inert particles in a size range from (0.02 to 1 m)

If the size for covid-19 I gave above is correct the the efficiency of home made masks would increase.

Also note that as the n-95 respirator is worn, it loses efficiency over time while homemade cloth masks increased efficiency.

Hand-wringers should wear a mask if they want to do so, even for the rest of their lives if that makes them happy. Everyone else should return to normal and do so today. Some will get the virus, nearly all of them will live.

So is the goal still to flatten the curve or eliminate all new cases?

Basically we are on a path to have a secluded spring and summer, to lose our chance for two kinds of immunity - herd and self. Self immunity wrecked with seclusion. Herd immunity not obtained because of extreme lockdown. We have a summer to get better prepared for the colder temps in the fall, but nooooooo!! Now the elderly will need to stay locked up even longer.

Give it up, we don't care anymore. I'm not wearing a mask and have avoided any retail that requires a mask. However, I have chosen to frequent restaurants and stores who make it optional. Feel free to wear one if you want, but the rest of us are tired of the fear.

Way to selectively quote. The article said in the next paragraph when social distancing is not possible.

This should not mean mandated mask wearing in all settings.
It's likely a good idea for most employers to require it if their employees need to be in close proximity. Or if you are exposed to someone for an extended period of time.

they continue to believe less and less that asymptotic spread is as common as once thought. And that prolonged exposure is what causes flare ups(average of at least 15 minutes). Not casually passing someone in the heb aisle for 3 seconds.

Seriously. Keep your distance. Unless someone directly coughs on you or you stand there and talk with someone for 15 minutes, it's moot.

Wow, I'm shocked that OP is still fighting this fight.

He must have been one of the kids in my neighborhood that was never allowed to ride bikes or play outside with us; it was too dangerous. Statistically, you can break your arm while riding a bike or be kidnapped while out as a child. No one should let their kids out; let's please keep them safe.

Cool story bro time.

One of my son's friends was in the market for a new drum kit so they drove to guitar center in plano. Couldn't find anything there for a good price so they went on into Dallas to see what Sam Ash had. They get there but they couldn't go in the store without masks. My son told the guy, "Hey, we have cash and we are buying something Today if you have what we're looking for". Guy goes to the back of the store and scrounged up some masks so they could go in the store.

Is this something the city of Dallas is requiring or was it just that store?

If a business owner asks me to wear a mask to enter his/her business I do if I have to buy something there (if I remember to bring it)

Home Depot no longer makes me wear it...so I don't
Heb no longer makes me wear it...so I don't
The commissary at Randolph makes me wear it...so I do.
Many silly shops in new Braunfels make me wear it, so I move on to the next store.

When given a dirty look I will admit that I want to fake a cough just to see their reaction. I've resisted that as the private owner would be in his/her right to throw me out. (Dang tempting though)

Masks outside is plain ******ed, though.

Gutless hit and troll.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

But, in none of the mask-wearing times are they in any way effective. It's merely virtue-signaling at this point, and points out the tards.

Change is good my brutha! Free your mind and your britches.
