You mean the experts that say that homemade masks, scarves, bandanas and handkerchiefs are completely useless? These are all things which Harris County are saying are sufficient for the order.
Can the government please force everyone to wear masks

If you can't get masks, you can't force your citizens to wear homemade crop that will likely exacerbate the issue.

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.

We are over represented in terms of healthcare providers because of the huge retired/replant crowd who go to the doctor all the time. If people were showing symptoms they'd be going to the doctor. They're not. I'm not wearing a mask.

A much more effective from of government control, intervention, and overreaction would be to force everyone to stop breathing. No masks needed and saves everyone the money an ineffective mask would cost.jjay91 said:They all will protect to a certain degree. Some very little as you say.

You like facts so much?
Show me one evidence based study that says a civilian cloth mask can stop aerosolized COVID particles
You won't because they don't exist
This forum is starting to love big government, mandatory masks, and mandatory vaccines from the look of it.
I thought my fellow Aggie we're predominantly God Fearing, Small Government, and Conservatives values.
Sadly most will listen to anything a Republican says.

The same experts that predicted millions of deaths with their models? The same experts that said flatten the curve but now say that isn't good enough? The same experts that said it originally didn't come from a lab? Yeah, these experts don't know a damn thing and neither do you.

Liberal cities? Why does this become an issue of liberal vs conservative. I know many conservative Republicans that want to do their part to help save lives.Maroon Dawn said:

They've been wearing them here in Katy for years. The masks keep you from RUBBING/TOUCHING your face, not from getting the virus. Just wash your hands and avoid touching your face.Kozmozag said:

Fact1: This is dumb and people pushing for it are doing it for show and not efficacy.
Fact2: No cop is going to write a ticket for this. I've been to HEBs, convenience stores and other places sans face-chain and have yet to meet a single bit of resistance.

The military can't get involved...only the guard and that's at the behest of the governor and in Texas that won't happen...here in Bexar in only wear the mask at the base commissary because otherwise I'm not allowed in...outside...not once...

I even chatted with a policeman at the convenience store.
Both maskless.

Bwwwahhhhaaaaa! Looks like HPOU & Harris Co Sheriff's union listens to Michael Berry show. Their letters use the exact same arguments he made at 8AM this morning...

If masks are so effective, why is the Harris County order allowing people to forego them when they are exercising - you know, when they are breathing hardest? Seems like that would be the time to wear one, if not double up on them.

Dude, be ready to be shot down by the smart people. Your data means nothing.

Plus this will turn Big Rob Big Head into disabled without enjoyment of the futile gesture needed to protect that civil right. Right now, the opportunity to see a head too big for a bandanna mask is still possible.

This bug must be a real killer in your parallel universe. In this one its running well below all projections despite hard hit "shut it all Down" states like NT, NJ, Con, Mich, Pa. Just wait until the eco impact follows up for those 'shutter ups'
Boom see Shooter - you are dumb you missed the point. Carry on - masks are essential. So essential that the Harris County order does not go into effect until 5 days from now.BTHOthatguy said:Cloth masks aren't to protect me from you. They are to protect you from me.
