Or possibly, more people who had COVID symptoms put on face masks to prevent them from spreading it as readily. Especially in medical and clinical situations.

Get a shot of ivermectin and you will be fine withen 24 hrs if you have "a corona" illnes. FYI who jusy put it on their approved treatment list. Oh many mnay many govt agencies around the world and finally the US. But most likely you have the Flu.a reply to: xWorldxGonexMadx

A whole site that is for nothing but dissing every attempt by health authorities to slow or prevent severe COVID-19.
Why?
What is offered by these people as something that people could do to minimise the dangers posed by the disease?

They do work. When used correctly.
Also, as studies show, over use is not a general health benefit.
I’d be a lot more receptive to the OPs apposing view if they didn’t start out calling those who choose not to wear one in post pandemic daily life “selfish, careless twats!“

Please, use real Scientists from both sides of the "masks are important or not" aisle.
When you do that you find Environmental Scientist like me say a full self enclosed breathing apparatus or you are wasting time other than to keep debris out of your mouth like in construction work. It is useless for germs. The CO2 poisoning from extended use is very real too. Making children wear one is child abuse!

Where can I see this? OnlyFans? PH? Please, I'm asking for a friend.
Maybe I'll make a Film someday about the Careless, Selfish Twats
Why don't people who must wear PPE for extended periods have any issues with carbon dioxide poisoning? Show clinical cases please, not some speculative paper.
And why do surgeons wear PPE, even for minor surgeries?
There is hundreds of years of evidence that masks work, and that their extended use doesn't cause medical problems.
Medical grade cloth masks which use electrostatic filtering have not been shown to elevate CO2 levels sufficiently to cause issues, and they also don't have exhalation valves like some N95 respirator masks, these valves negate some of the attenuation of exhalation velocities that a cloth mask gives.
You are so committed to your ideology that you are ignoring how long we have known about, and have evidence of, mask effectiveness and safety.
masks work. Point blank, end of story. They do. But, it's important to know WHAT they are doing. They aren't saving you from inhaling a virus or germ. The mask IS stopping your spit from landing on someone else. So if that's your goal, you are good to go. But if you are DERPING along thinking you are keeping yourself from getting sick, you are not paying enough attention to life, and should make adjustments.
What part of "attenuation of exhalation velocities" do you not understand?
Modern medical masks include materials that remove small particles from the air-flow by electrostatics, and so there is a filtering capability in some masks. A patch cut from a T-shirt, however, doesn't do that.

Masks never prevented you from getting sick.
They do not stop the spread of respiratory viruses. They never have.
They did stop it, like I said I never got it at its peak because I wore mask's when I travelled and went to stores that were busy!
I'm living proof they worked.
The only thing you are proof of is people are ignorant and easily manipulated.

Makes me wonder why someone would travel and go to busy places if they were worried about a virus. If I had that mindset I’d feel irresponsible.
Then to demand others wear masks, after the pandemic, to protect them seems a bit one sided.

How many more times:
IF YOU HAVE A VIRUS... STAY AT HOME OR WEAR A MASK IF YOU GO OUT.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND YET?
I didn't say anywhere to wear a mask in normal daily life.

Getting the flu used to be part of normal daily life.

I understand what you are saying, but you are wrong, and there is ample evidence that disposable medical cloth masks do inhibit the transmission of germs and viruses in exhaled air, reducing the velocities of those exhalations significantly, and that they do not present any health risk to the wearer from sustained use.
