    Default An interesting point about masks.

    Out of the mouth of babes...

    One of the grandkids pointed this out.

    When you fart it goes through your underwear and other clothes and everybody nearby suffers for it. Methane, the main ingredient of a fart is 111 microns in size. A COVID 19 cell is 50 to 200 nanometers in size or over a thousand times smaller...

    Wearing a mask ain't gonna save you...

    Who is claiming wearing masks saves the wearer, Chief?

    They don't save those nearby either.

    Disagreed, Chief. When a person says everyone else on the planet is stupid and gullible for wearing masks, all it does is make that person look like a candidate for the loony bin.

    You are better off with a lower viral load, and a mask will help with that most likely because some of it gets caught in the fabric.

    Or at least we think so, we dont know for sure because our experts tend to suck at their jobs.

    Just look at the wreckage of America.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    Interesting take on Kurt Vonnegut's "A sane person to an insane society must appear insane". Are you saying that an insane society sees even sane people as insane or are you saying in that in an insane society a sane man must act insane?

    Only idiots and lemmings are wearing masks. Haven’t worn one yet and I won’t.

    Others can bend the knee if they choose.

    A methane molecule is actually MUCH smaller than 111 microns (it is even smaller than a nanometer), so it's even much smaller than the size of a covid virus.

    However, the main point being made here (by the kids, and yourself) is absolutely correct. A covid virus is ~100 nanometers (or 0.1 micron), and a mask rated for particles of size 3,000 nanometers (or 3.0 microns) or larger is not going to stop it.
