    People die every year from flu, this one is bad I grant you that.. But hiding from it will not lessen the deaths in the long run now will it ;)

    Yes. So logic would then dictate if everyone wore a mask then that would slow the spread of infected droplets, right?

    You would have to be convinced that woven fabric can stop a virus.

    I am not.

    Showed where?

    Well of course hospital get paid for giving care to someone hospitalized? Are you saying they shouldn’t? Do you think COVID cases are some type of cash cow? The hospital system I work for already lost close to 2 billion as a result of COVID. That is because many other elective procedures were put on hold. Not to mention less people commuting means less car accidents which means less trauma related hospitalization and less PT at our rehab clinics.

    I am not a doctor nor scientist so I have no idea. But just like I would listen to my plumber for something plumbing related, I tend to listen to doctors and scientists when it comes to things like a virus. I certainly would never pretend to know more than those educated in a field I wasn’t.

    Nope. But by all means show proof it’s a cash cow.

    Some people think for themselves, some don't. Have fun with your mask. :)

    I agree no one should hide. I’m out of my house every day.

    The year the first cure for virus was discovered is not science. Well...not biological science. It's history.

    You wear a mask at home? That is ridiculous!

    Point being... What?

    Cool. Now... repeat the following words: person, woman, man, camera, TV

    I said we are losing money due to COVID. I supplied a link to Sinnik explaining.

    And the same logic says he did not catch it because of lack of a mask.

    Good ol Golem, cant give a date when the first cure for the flu was discovered, has to misinterpret HOUSE and MASK as a single practice and avoids outbreak in a country gloating about containment and tries to ignore the very thing he boasts about, science :) You have slipped from pro debater to a incoherent rambling and avoidance game :(

    Ah then the hospital is not treating COVID patients I take it, that's great! I guess the mask has cured your area then :)

    And you think a cloth mask would have prevented it?

    You are incentivized to find covid cases by Medicare. No one cares whether you think your employer is losing money or not.

    How so? If someone had COVID but was at beginning stages for them and they weren’t wearing a mask you don’t think that person could have spread it?

    Yup, cloth masks, surgical masks, etc.. which cannot filter out viruses and do not protect the eyes, yeah, those are supposed to save your ass from COVID? Not.

    You talk to someone with those masks, they breath out, and the virus can float right into your eyes, or get breathed into your cheap mask.

    The thing with those cloth masks is many of them make it harder to breath, so you breath heavier, which causes a larger volume of air soaked virus to be exhaled to be carried even further.

    Title implies he got it because he was not wearing a mask.
