We’re of course there’s no chance you’re gonna get infected because the airflow you have is just crazy….The guys riding motorcycles, no helmets, but wearing masks........
And yet, in a restaurant and seated, masks were not required??? Also, as a Dumb Infantryman, how do you prove masks work?Sure.
Unmasking the mask studies: why the effectiveness of surgical masks in preventing respiratory infections has been underestimated - PMC
Background: Pre-pandemic empirical studies have produced mixed statistical results on the effectiveness of masks against respiratory viruses, leading to confusion that may have contributed to organizations such as the WHO and CDC initially not ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
what the study says:
-There are a shit ton of poor studies where people are trying to prove that masks are not effective, but they’re sample size is so small as to be statistically useless. (You can’t really make good determinations with studies of very small sample size.)
- all large studies indicate that wearing a mask, especially with an infected individuals, makes a huge difference in outcomes of people not getting infected.
- Studies were both people have masks provide even better overall protection. Again, because viruses are aerosolized in water droplets when exhaled from the human body and never by themselves. (In other words, the human body is not a military biological weapon that flawlessly aerosolizes viruses and dusts the target area with them.)
- That people will become infected, regardless of if they are wearing a mask or not if they are in a saturated environment where everyone around them is infected. In other words, the viral dose is so severe that there’s no way a mask is going to protect you. (This is why they wanted everybody 10 feet away from each other.)
I understand that people don’t like being told to wear masks. I especially understand that people don’t like being told they should be vaccinated (Because I believe it is a total infringement of your rights…)
however, with regard to the non-invasive aspect of wearing masks… I really don’t see how losing your shit over someone wanting you to wear a mask during a pandemic is a really big deal.
Telling you that you have to get a vaccine on the other hand… That’s invasive… And it’s not OK.
Loose my shit because I asked you to support your point.Sure.

Also that says it does but doesn't really support your point. Their basis is "if it catches some virus it has to work." How much virus does it take to get you sick? 
don't bother. His mind's been made up for himLoose my shit because I asked you to support your point.
The relative importance of direct and indirect contact, large droplet spray, and aerosols as modes of influenza transmission is not known but is important in devising effective interventions.
These results suggest an important role for aerosols in transmission of influenza virus and that surgical facemasks worn by infected persons are potentially an effective means of limiting the spread of influenza.
So basically, we think you can get sick from aerosols. So masks must be important even though you still release aerosolized virus when wearing a mask but its slightly less.
Pretty much everything you wrote is bullshit. This studies conclusion is based entirely on a false assumption that catching some virus stops the spread. No empirical data on infection rates in places where people wore masks vs places where people didn't. i wonder why they would ignore that in favor of speculation based on PCR testing aerosols.
They proved they didn't work nearly 100 years ago in the 1920 flu pandemic. Since then we have found likely evidence that masks cost way more lives than the flu during that time. Now we are getting studies based on numbers from 2020 which were bullshit nearly in the entirety. Zero flu deaths in 2020.
Na, dollars to donuts he gets paid to post that bullshit. If you could find the "COVID19 is bullshit" thread. I bet you would find him posting much of the same in 2020.
...Becasue they cant afford the copper.
Sure.

Cost of copper besides, today a smart one would use lots of premade pieces with shark bites or just make it out of glued PVC/CPVC.
Youre waisting your time debating these people. Minds are set at this point, especially here.Loose my shit because I asked you to support your point.

I’ll add another landscape shot. This was taken at Golden Gate Canyon state park west of Denver, looking westOh goody! Now we’re off of arguing with each other about cyclists and are restarting the ridiculous argument of pro/con masks.
So much drama in a supposedly MOTIVATIONAL video and picture thread.
Here’s a motivational picture sent to a few of us by a couple of our stalwart members currently on a road trip:

It didn’t kill all the protesters (BLM) screaming and spitting in each other’s faces. It didn’t kill all the compliers shopping at big box stores. It don’t kill the hundreds of people I flew with every 2 weeks back and forth to work through all the covid hysteria. Keep drinking the coolaid bro.
