Half the #ing idiots I see don't even wear their masks properly any way. If it's halfway down your face or under your chin, that mask isn't doing # all and no you can't even pull it down to catch your breath...now it's contaminated and needs to be replaced...
So, because some people are too ignorant to successfully use a mask, society as a whole shouldn't bother?

This is just one of many known reasons why face masks for the general population are not effective, and can actually make matters worse both for individuals and society as a whole.
And therefore one of many reasons that I don't believe for a minute that mandates to wear face masks is about protecting anyone from anything.
Well, actually, except to protect Dems from losing AGAIN.

Kind'a accounts for why the cooties are raging in the States, and falling off here. Yes I hear you knocking...no you can't come in.

Loll!! In my eyes its a case of.......
'Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.'
If masking up when the pandemic was at its height wasn't mandated
Its a wee bit late now?

It's hardly the purge now is it.
Masks retard the spread of the virus depending on the quality of such and the situation in which they are worn.
Like whilst on pulic transport or in any other confined space with large groups of people.
Until a proper vaccine materialises which maybe never and certainly not this side of 2020 our PPE combined with social distancing is pretty much the only tools we have in the bag that can put a dent in the R rate.
I cant see why masks are of any concern really, its prudent to wear one and good manners really.
Well, now that masks are mandated here, it should be easier to advise people how to wear them correctly. While I've seen people not wearing a mask when it was appropriate to do so, I have not seen anybody actually wearing them wrong.

My original post about '#ing idiots' was actually about Canadians...as those are the people I see every day...seeing as that's where I live.
It would seem that a number of American lawmakers are knocking, and our government is saying no thanks.
