Masks either work or they do not work

that attack you if you mention they should wear a mask
Or those that do the attacking on people NOT wearing a mask. Lots of crazies out there.

Nope ... only ever heard about the scofflaws. The (smart) mask wearer avoids any clowns.

Oh my gosh. Can you imagine the freak-outs if someone did that in public? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You misunderstood my point. Masks help. But they do not "work" as a solution, which many people have claimed masks are a solution.

Nearly every business seems to be requiring masks now but what I find interesting is that they are also enforcing social distancing rules as well. It seems that if you are saying we still need to stay away from each other even with masks on you're really saying that masks don't work. Too much emotion involved in so many decisions these days. #BringBackLogic

Aside from the first response (to which your reply served to demean you) - consider this. Not everyone wears the face mask; not everyone keeps their distance. It's like a try . . . do-not-catch block. Were it not for the unfortunate exchange between those who think about the welfare of others and those who only think about themselves, I'd be fully in favor of letting Darwin handle this.

Exactly what? Are you saying because it doesn't work 100% of the time we shouldn't bother?
No. I agreed. :laugh: :laugh: You people read too much into what I say. Stop adding your own bias in. My original point was that masks are not the "end-all" that many have claimed they were. And to enforce social distancing proves that masks aren't the "end-all". That's all.

We had a coworker come to work for an entire day with symptoms. Her manager finally realized it and sent her home. She tested positive. No one else in the office got it even though she likely had it on her for at least a couple of days. On a scale of 1-10 of apocolyptic viruses, this thing is a 2. It's just not as bad as everyone wants to make it. If people are freaking out this much about a 2, what will happen when we have a 7 or 8? People will die just from anxiety. :doh:

I was invited to a restaurant yesterday morning for breakfast. There were 4 of us at a table. There wasn't 6 feet between the chairs. And nobody ate with a mask on. To follow your train of thought: I've noticed some people were using hand sanitizer on their way out. What message does this send...?

SARS, MERS, avian flu, swine flu, all their yearly variations...somehow we've made it this far. The difference now is that nobody has a backbone anymore, and nobody wants to be held accountable. If you're instructed by politicians to follow guidelines, and you don't, then it's on you if someone gets infected - they're off the hook, so they're happy. That's why we're doing this. Mark my words, we'll be seeing entire generations of people with [weaker immunity systems than their forbearers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X29lF43mUlo).

Somewhat of a pretense that it wasn't parallel enough. No point to it - certainly it did nothing to enhance your original premise or the response. Basically, as if you were hoping to find some technicality by which you could (pretend) to write the whole reply off. Beware - this could well become a pattern.

Search the forum for the word tantamount and you'll see a fellow CP member claiming that not wearing one is the same as murder.

As you would have never used the "exactly" just in the other way around, to remark your point instead of agreeing with someone. ;) Don't forget we are programmers and we don't have the visual communication. Words might be way too vague depending on the context.
