I don't reply to stupid like your idiotic tin foil on windows.
As he keeps replying^ lol. Stay at home and put cloth curtains up. Your whole house will be a mask that you can live in!
Sweden has a comparable death rate with the UK. No lockdown and less damage to the economy.There is so much ignorance in your post that I don't know where to begin. Sweden, for example, has a much higher death rate than any of its Scandinavian neighbours. Nobody is immune to this disease, not even you with your dismissive attitude.
Sweden records its highest death toll for 150 years after coronavirus outbreak
Coronavirus claimed about 4,500 lives in the first six months of 2020www.independent.co.uk
The idea that a cheap piece of cloth can stop the spread is so idiotic....At best, it can slow it down, which we were told would flatten the curve of demand for health services. Now, the little Hitlers like Cuomo and that retard de-Blasio, switched to "until we have a vaccine".You really are clueless on this. There is NO evidence of any conferred immunity post-infection, either short-term or long-term, and the older you are the more likely it is that your antibody reaction won't be anywhere near as strong as when you were a kid.

"At best it can slow it down". That's the whole point, and that's a bad thing? Nobody ever claimed that masks were a solution any more than car seat belts will stop you getting injured or killed 100% of the time. But they HELP prevent death and injury. Masks are no different in that regard.
I cover my nose and my mouth to stop those evil particles. Just as civilized people have been doing it for the last 10,000 years. Don't you?
You want, sounds like it's time for you to do some research and find out or are you expecting somebody else to do this for you? All your posts say to me is you are the type of person who does not plan ahead and in general disrespects authority.
Bad analogy. Belts protect the wearer. Masks don't. In fact, some claim that masks are bad as they make the wearers feel immune - just like the AWD SUV's make drivers feel in control and safe and end up in the ditch even more often than the normal drivers who are scared of ice on the road.
I don't expect anything. I want the numbers that are inconvenient to the fearmongers to be available just as easily as the "cases". They are not.
If only the masks could keep their idiocy contained.
Not clueless. Doing it on purpose.You really are clueless on this. There is NO evidence of any conferred immunity post-infection, either short-term or long-term, and the older you are the more likely it is that your antibody reaction won't be anywhere near as strong as when you were a kid.

The old saying goes, "If you expect to rate with women, don't expectorate in public."
Anti-maskers explain themselves
“If I’m going to get Covid and die from it, then so be it.”www.vox.com
“If I’m going to get Covid and die from it, then so be it.”
At the outset of the pandemic, Amy, a 48-year-old mother of two from Ohio, was afraid. When the government began recommending people wear masks, she not only complied but also made masks for others. “I was like, oh, this is scary, this could be really bad,” she said.
But when Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced the state would extend its lockdown for the month of May, she’d had it. Pandemic over or not, she was done. After that, Amy became vehemently anti-mask and began to doubt whether the coronavirus was really that big of a deal. Her mother unfollowed her on Facebook over her “anger posts” about masks, and she hasn’t heard from her in a month. She carries a homemade mask with her, just in case, but she doesn’t believe in them.
“It’s a violation of my freedom, I think, and then also I just don’t think they work,” Amy said. “A lot of stuff says it does, but then some doesn’t.”
Masks have become an extremely heated point of contention during the Covid-19 outbreak. Viral videos of people having meltdowns over masks are commonplace, and in many parts of the country, it’s not abnormal for strangers to confront each other publicly over the issue. A small but vocal segment of the population has dug in and ignored the growing evidence that masks make a difference in combating the coronavirus. For those who believe that at the very least wearing a mask can’t hurt, it’s hard to not develop some animosity toward those who refuse. The question I keep hearing from pro-mask friends and family is always the same: What are these people thinking?
In recent weeks, I spoke with nearly a dozen people who consider themselves anti-mask to find out just that. What I discovered is that there is certainly a broad spectrum of reasons — some find wearing a mask annoying or just aren’t convinced they work, and others have gone down a rabbit hole of conspiracies that often involve vaccines, Big Pharma, YouTube, and Bill Gates. One man told me he wears a mask when he goes to the store to be polite. A woman got kicked out of a Menards store for refusing to wear a mask amid what she calls the “Covid scam garbage.”

People have changed quite a bit since 1918. But the Spanish Flu was very different. You could eat breakfast & be dead by nightfall.
I've suggested before that those that object to masks should get ones printed with "**** you" on them, because not wearing a mask expresses the same thought.
BS. CDC reported that 6% died from the chinavirus and without any underlying conditions, UC's. That's the only number that should be the guide. If you (editorial) are a fat pig, with high blood pressure, diabetes, and a heart condition - all earned over the lifetime of idiotic behavior - don't come to me for sympathy when you are dead. We told you to knock it off.
And if they don't pay up, lock them up far away from sensible people. Teach the selfish, inconsiderate libertarian loons a lesson they won't forget.
Actually, that is what I am proposing. For the most part, we are stuck wearing the following when we go to a store, a play, a dentist, a barber and our jobs: two shoes, two socks, underwear, a shirt, pants or a dress and we have been for centuries. Discarding hygiene, its been ok to do all that for less reason than this mask. I fully intend to keep right on wearing this mask after this 'crisis' has abated, because I now see it a rude not to contain that spit mist in common public areas that I create.
How about this? Clearly no mask is 100% effective but it’s better than none. Again, do you disagree? If so let’s see your numbers.

I am so happy for you. Just don't force me to do the same.
I won't any more than I force you to wear clothes when you go to the mall or to pick up your dog's pile off somebody's lawn. A city ordinance does this stuff, and I am happy to let it. The last time I did not wear a mask in a public common area was probably a couple of months ago. And that hopefully was the last time I created a 'spit mist' that I left behind me. Because people don't need to collect that huge wad of saliva and mucus we refer to in high school as a 'loogie', in their mouths, open wide and expectorate to create a spit mist, I did not form a positive intent to spit that I can recall. We can create a positive intent to avoid leaving that spit mist when we wear a mask.
