I agree that this is an almost useless thing. If you want to protect yourself and others, then use a gas mask. But this is stupid because this virus is not so dangerous to use it.

[squatz1]

it's amazing that people spreading fake news and disinformation receive merits from a merit source... this forum section looks like a madhouse. Nowadays every kind of shit is equated with scientific knowledge and we will see the results in the short term.

let's draw then and I hope people can get it:

I'm not saying that masks is completely useless, but numbers in this image looks so random. I haven't heard about any scientific research which would prove that these numbers is right. There is many factors which may change these numbers into one or other side.
I think that in crowded places like shops or public transport, but I think it's not needed in the streets at all.
And, WHO still don't recommend to wear it for helthy people, here is quote from their website:

If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with COVID-19.
Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing

Numbers are probably completetly made up. I'm assuming this picture was made to be spread on all of the social media platforms by kids and adults alike. I don't think this should take away from the fact that masks are going to be helpful in stopping the spread of the coronavirus.

If you were a mask and you have the coronavirus, you have a much lower chance of spreading it to other people. Which is one of the key things that people are trying to do here. Lowering the amount of people infected and lowering the strain on the hopsital system is VERY important to ensuring that we can move on from this effectively.

I realize that I am keeping myself healthier by not wearing a mask.

When You get infected it is just as dangerous as loading a single round into 8 chamber revolver, spinning the drum and pulling the trigger while pointing at your head. I will personally choose the russian roulette instead of getting infected by coronavirus. Two colleagues of my relative is infected and the flu-like symptoms persist for 3 to 4 weeks and it feels more shit than any flu. With the russian roulette revolver all You hear is click on empty chamber and You are fine. With coronavirus You will wait for weeks not knowing You will live or die. And even if You live the sickness feels really bad.

I wear a soviet GP-5 gas mask when I need to be near other unknown people. Like in bus or supermarket.

Do you go public or is it a must in your country to wear a mask in public or at least in public transport ?
Btw, you might be healthier, but you still can be a virus carrier. Even if you dont have symptoms or feel good, you still can infect others So if I were you, I might consider wearing a mask

There are hundreds of thousands of viruses running around loose all the time. Thousands of these are mutating so rapidly that they are naturally gone before a medicine can be developed.

So, tell us, please, how wearing a mask is going to protect anyone. After all, the protection is in the immune system developing a resistance to all of these hundreds of thousands of viruses. If you don't catch Covid, you aren't going to build a resistance to it.

Now that everything is opening up after the stupid, ridiculous pandemic, guess what? You ARE going to get Covid, whether you like it or not. The only way to avoid getting it is to isolate yourself in a biosphere that is completely separate from the world.

But that still might not help. Why not? Because if you haven't been in the biosphere for the last 20 years (actually way longer), you already have Coronvirus in you. Your immune system has probably made an immune resistance in you that will be effective against Covid. But if it hasn't, get out there and get exposed so that your immune system has something to work with to do its job.

Between now and your infection date, if you wear the mask, you are reducing oxygen to your body, you are inhaling from the back side of the mask all the rapidly growing viruses and bacteria you exhaled onto it, and you are being a bad example for the rest of society.

The Covid pandemic is a hoax. The death count is lies. If you want to understand that it is, watch Del Bigtree interview all kinds of doctors and others who will prove it to you. Del Bigtree at The Highwire - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq6oOuhSx7ESreh6m9LGy6Q/videos. Then start to research the rest besides The Highwire.

However, if you are NOT an honest person trying to help people, but rather are part of the Coronavirus pandemic hoax, be honorable with yourself, and keep it up. That way you stand a chance to get taken down in court with Dr. Andrew Fauci who Del and his team are naming in an up-and-coming lawsuit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJbH9gx8MH0.

Based on that logic, if I dont catch AIDS, I wont be able to build a resistance to it ?

I personally wear the mask, not to be protected from covid-19, but not to infect others. As you said, most of us are already infected, but our immune system resists the virus. As a virus carrier, I dont want to increase probability of other to be infected. Who knows, maybe the virus in me is stronger that the virus in others.

And a chance of me doing a little cough and spreading more is greater without the mask, than it is in the mask. Do you agree ?

You cant catch AIDS.
You can test positve for HIV with phoney test and then receive treatment if you choose to do so, or live for decades without like Magic Johnson, positve since 1991  and now 61 years old.
HIV =/= AIDS   virus-disease   just like SARS-CoV-2 =/= COVID-19

I don't think face masks can protect us from virus prevention it's only temporary But if we are a touch more aware then there'll be no need for face masks. we've to take care of social distance to guard ourselves against the virus, we will prevent the virus by avoiding public gatherings Masks are more likely to cause infections If we leave it where it's if somebody else uses it it'll be more likely to spread the virus. this is often why avoiding public gatherings is simpler than face masks.

[BADecker]

Facemasks will do 100%, absolutely no good. Why not? Because once the virus is in the air in one place in the world, it will take only a week to two weeks to spread around the world. The virus has been in the USA and every other country for all of 2020.

The only people who might not have the virus are people who have been living in an artificial biosphere that has been sealed since mid-2019 or earlier. Another group might be people living underwater in an atomic submarine that hasn't surfaced for more than half-a-year.

If you think hard, you might be able to think of other groups that haven't shared air with the world for more than half-a-year. When was the last time the air was replenished on the International Space Station?

Forget masks. Rather, just be courteous to all people. I mean, don't cough in their face, just as you wouldn't at any other time. The virus is out there for everybody already.

Stupid testing is inconclusive. Check it out. The same person can be tested negative then positive, then negative again. The whole pandemic activity is only making things worse. And so are masks.

A muzzle will not save anyone from a cell full of currupt / poisonous matter. Lots of ways to currupt and poisen a cell.

[Naida_BR]

I don't use a face mask not in my work space.
I feel that I am not protected by the mask and I also read a research that wearing a facemask for many hours creates problems in your respiratory system in long term, so thank you I won't take it.

[Subbir]

You're right, I do not accept it either because Facemasks can never protect us from viruses but causes problems. Not only within the case of respiratory problems but also due to being behind all the time we get red spots like cutting through the four passes of the mouth which is harmful to our health that's why it's more important to take care than to use it. it's better to adopt another method considering your own health.

I try not to wear the mask that my government recommends wearing as it is simply useless. It is quite possible that I would wear a respirator with filters like ffp2, ffp3, but since they simply do not exist in my country, I preferred a healthy lifestyle and daily running to strengthen my immunity.

In my city, a mandatory mask mode. And the World Health Organization acknowledged that they are not valid. Some shops are not allowed without a mask.
With us they are expensive, very expensive. Nobody gives them away for free.

I feel like all countries and governments around the world recommend wearing a mask.
It is important to do so in places that can be overcrowded and you visit them for short period of time such as buses or the underground. For other places I think that it is unnecessary to wear it.

Don't you think that if you are required to wear a mask in a certain place, you should be provided with a mask absolutely free of charge by the demanding organization and not offered to buy it?

The worst thing is that I often see people moving around in their own car wearing a mask, and they are all alone. 

[merchantofzeny]

Unless the mask is supposed to block viruses, it really wouldn't help protect you from infection. Not to mention there are defective masks out there, I remember Australia complaining about the masks China sent them.

I'd still prefer that people still wear something on their faces when they go outside though, just in case they're pre/asymptomatic, the mask could reduce the rate that they spread the virus. Besides, it's courtesy (at least in Asian countries) to wear face masks if you feel under the weather.

A muzzle will not save anyone from a cell full of currupt / poisonous matter. Lots of ways to currupt and poisen a cell.

The holes on the material is not small enough to block the virus I suppose.

Thats why spray-painters wear a proper respirator gear and not some surgical mask, designed for other use.
Something as small as 100 nm enters through the eyes just as easy as anywhere else, thats why gas mask also covers the eyes.
Long term wear of some junk mask has only negative health effects. The better the quality the longer the usage the more blockage the more oxygen flow is restricted and exhaled CO2 is re-inhaled.
Some people evidently already starved the brain of vital oxygen. Some people think it is possible the catch a virus from someone else.
