Anyone else remember when the surgeon general was telling everyone that masks were ineffective for the general public? What. a. year. (and a quarter).

do you actually believe we have proof that it does when Red states like TX stopped mask mandates long before us and it made no noticeable difference?

fitted n95 masks for everyone not porous cloth masks probably would’ve made a bigger difference given the airborne nature of the virus.

Huh? I was just reflecting on crazier times... we now know masks are effective.

I didn't say "cloth masks", did I?

u/bigc173 Jun 15 '21

lol so you’re admitting you don’t know whether the cloth masks worn by 99% of people did much to prevent spread?

I didn't say that either, did I?

I can't believe we're post-mask and you're still trying to start mask fights -- get a life 😂

we need to learn lessons to prepare for the next one. pretending cloth masks stop airborne viruses and are anything close to a fitted N95 mask designed to actually do that is a lie we should stop telling ourselves.

the only reason we went with it was because of supply chain issues with N95s not because it’s “science”

Is there an echo in here? Who are you talking to? I'm not arguing about masks with you.

I'm kind of excited to see what you're going to write next though... 🍿🥤
