Yeah, I thought they stopped making antibacterial soap because it was creating superbugs. Only one in a thousand virus particles survive hand washing, masks, antibacterial but that one in a thousand is the only one left to produce.

I swear this contact tracing is designed to ease people into legalizing a new method to spy on people similar to the patriot act but instead under the auspices of your well-being.

I read something by an unknown internet user that struck me as relevant. It's certainly not a quote as I only remember the gist:
If the masks work, why do we have to keep 2 meters apart?
If being 2 meters apart works, why do we need a mask?
If both work, why do we need a lockdown?
If none of them work, why implement these measures at all?
If the lockdown works, why do we need a vaccine?
Morens even said that the virus could have evolved to resist common efforts at dodging the virus, such as washing hands or wearing masks.

I don't think this person understands evolution, or how viruses work...or biology in general..

Thanks for reminding me that I need to throw my mask in the washer. It's been awhile, and it's starting to smell like Brut-33 deodorant, due to the daily spray-shot I give it before pocketing.

One thing I suggest to help people wash their hands properly is what I do to help my 4 year old -- wash your hands until you are done reciting the alphabet.

Psst, it's a virus. It doesn't need to "evolve" to get around masks. They never did any good to begin with.
Here’s an article from the prestigious journal “Nature” from April, 2020 titled “Respiratory virus shedding in exhaled breath and efficacy of face masks“
www.nature.com...
In this experiment, they measured the amount of virus detected in breath samples from virus infected people before wearing masks and after wearing masks. They found that surgical masks reduced the count of Corona virus-laden droplets and aerosols by somewhere between 75 to 80%.
Keep denying your ignorance.
Moreover, among the eight participants who had influenza virus detected by RT–PCR from without-mask aerosols, five were tested by viral culture and four were culture-positive. Among the six participants who had influenza virus detected by RT–PCR from with-mask aerosols, four were tested by viral culture and two were culture-positive.
