Yeah, OK :rolleyes: link to the study please?
According to the article it looks like the cloth mask stopped 28% of the virus particles compared to no mask. So 72% are still being expelled. Sounds really effective when we are talking about billions huh?
That's a surgical mask. The CDC says we aren't supposed to use surgical masks, those are for health care professionals along with the N-95's. I GUARANTEE that "Experiment" would have vastly different outcomes with the cloth masks that the majority of the population is wearing as directed by...
@durangobrad since you don’t have your mind made up here’s some light Sunday reading for you regarding efficacy of mask wearing:

In lighter news, Gov. Polis has appointed James Jay Tuchton (Laywer for Wildearth Guardians) to the CPW Commission to represent a non-consumptive, non profit on the commission. Interesting choice, not good in my opinion. Some of his notable cases include suing the USFWS for de-listing and state...
You're just feeding the trolls now @Mike7 Nothing is going to change their minds, they are made up. Just like they aren't going to change ours. It's a life outlook issue and some people genuinely enjoy arguing on the internet, I guess.
Sorry man I disagree and think that QEP and CDEV are both likely going to go bankrupt. They can't make money at $41 oil, nothing in the US unconventional plays makes sense below $50 unless its the most premium acreage in the premium plays. Debt will come due, they will keep drilling uneconomic...
Crap guys, do you just lay in bed all night wondering about all the things that "could" happen to you? Or all the ways you "could" die? That must be miserable!
Most of us will or have had this and there's not much we can do about it if it's really as contagious as the experts say. Move on...
Sounds like a common sense approach on your part. I have to wear them every day at work. The majority of the people I've informally polled with this question are not even close to following the guidelines, and people are touching their wet bacteria/virus coated cotton masks frequently then...
Honest question for @NDGuy @durangobrad @MattB and anybody else in the staunch "wear a mask" crowd. Do you guys wash your mask or masks in the washing machine daily as recommended by the CDC? Please be honest.
Not overwhelming the medical system and giving time to develop treatments was the entire reason for flattening the curve. Seldom mentioned? It’s been touted from the get-go.
Like I said, curve flattened let’s move on come out of your house, turn off Rachele Madow, and live your life (with your...
Look at post 4507, the US has significantly less deaths per capita than the EU. Also, the CDC is saying we’ve likely already had *edit* 23,000,000 true cases in the US. Are you really afraid of this still?
