In Ontario, Canada we are about to be put on a mandatory face mask wearing in  public places like grocery stores etc

I have been against face masks from day 1 because they do not protect you if anything they harm you.

Finally, a video that proves it.

Face masks definitely don't protect you. They are only meant to protect other's from you.

If you sneeze while wearing one, the spray from your sneeze goes right through it.

The wife went to the bank the other day wearing a shield. The girl at the door said she would have to wear a mask and if she didn't have one they would give her on. She told them she has alot of trouble breathing with a mask and she was allowed to enter with out one.

I would have thought that after 5 months of being informed scientifically  that face masks are worn to protect other people from catching the virus and not you would have sunk in by now. Obviously not. Wont respond to this any more , but am shocked that the question even arose.

If you sneeze while wearing a mask does the mask not get wet ? So then the mask did stop something did it not ? Masks do not stop everything there purpose is to lower the spread. Unlike your post which is meant to allow it to spread. Every little thing helps again your post nope does not help. 

  Reminds me of all those people who will refuse to use the app that helps track contacts. I'm never going to use something that tracks my wearabouts . But yet they spend hours on facebook and use google maps. Really Angel with a Z use your mind for good you're too smart for that type of post.

My whole family has COVID. Wear a face mask. Consider that you might be an asymptomatic carrier and are spreading it because you aren't covering up. We have worn them since the beginning, but we live in a resort town that has been overrun by mask-less vacationers. None of our friends have it. We got it from somebody in a public space who thought they didn't need to wear one. That people are still refusing to do such a simple thing is mind-boggling to me. Quit rationalizing why you don't need to.

I think everyone gets the fact masks are said to protect people from you. But, what about if an infected person wears a mask and sneezes. It does not keep it in the mask fully. If you watched the video you would of seen that.

Here's a magical solution, maybe divert your head when you sneeze? Sneeze in your elbow or in a tissue, while aiming away from any human being, like any non-disgusting person should do regardless of whether there is a pandemic going or not. 

Jeez, I mean no offense, but is this really how low we've fallen in this debate? Isn't there any good argument against the mask left that hasn't been debunked that you have to use such weak arguments?

I didn’t see anything in @Angelz post that said she wouldn’t wear a mask if mandated. I think reading comprehension is what’s the issue here. There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone having an opinion that doesn’t align with yours.

I think we should all start wearing helmets everywhere we go. You never know when you might accidentally fall over and hit your head. We also need to ban all vehicles immediately, far too dangerous. Only walking from now on - with helmets. Don't even think about using your metal cutlery anymore, you have to use your hands until the government mandated plastic spoons are delivered next week. Enjoy the newnormaltm!

I know a lot of people who think drinking and driving is still cool just don't be falling down drunk dude. But according to your point of view its ok. We live in a rather large society lets try and be careful of what we do that might kill somebody we do not know. Try a bit of compassion and try to be helpful to others. Or just go to a  giant mask free concert then go visit your grandparents. I'm sure everybody will be fine were all just over reacting to this silly pandemic. There old anyway and would probably die from the flu before this covid thing right. Hell I read on the internet that the chance of dying in a fire caused by somebody smoking in bed is 10 times more likely than dying from covid.

Again with the reading comprehension issue. Where did I say that I don’t wear a mask?  Come on get a grip.   By the way, it’s still okay if someone has a different opinion

Well rather anyone thinks @Angelz question was silly or not im going to address it because not alot of people are aware of certain things and it does not ever hurt to educate someone for the purpose of their own sake. If you sneeze into a mask unfortunately that mask is contaminated regardless if you are sick or not. If you touch your mask its also contaminated. You can only touch the strings to put on and remove. And then good hand sanitization before and after. So if you sneeze or cough into your mask you have to replace it unfortunately.

Fuck your helmet, jacket, artillery and trophy system. 
 

people the video shared was meant to identify effective masks vs non effective ones. I watched the original video. He was trying to help people identify fake masks that do not filter your breath very well. Watch until he gets to the mask that doesn't allow the spray to get thru. 
 

i have a tough time with masks. I feel claustrophobic, and around too many people my anxiety builds up. Yes, i still manage to wear it as best as I can. I thought i was getting less oxygen when i had a mask on. Using an oximeter, you realize that's just not true. 
 

i don't understand why we make every thing so partisan in America. Especially when it's about the collective well being. Be it the environment, a health issue or what have you.

I said I was against masks.  I did not say I would not wear one.

Since March when this covid virus hit Ontario there was no forcing of wearing masks. Now it has been months since any new cases so why all of a sudden are masks being forced?

The forcing of the masks doesn't happen till July 17. If it was going to mandatory why did they not do it right away? Why set a date for it?

My friend, I wish to give you my opinion from a healthcare providers point of view.

I really dont care what we used to fight this virus, anything helps. One case turns into 2, then 4,8,16 and so on and so on. Surgical masks protect you from droplet spread and this is how this is spread, droplets.

Let me give you an example, have you ever seen the PPE worn in a hospital? It literally looks see-threw and you wonder how the hell is that going to protect you. Its prevents droplets from penitrating and you can wear and not sweat a storm. This is how masks works, unfortunately many are not worn properly, they dont seal very well and people wear them way beyond their effectiveness. 

The reality is everything helps. What makes is virus so deadly is it has a asymptomatic stage which means you can spread it and dont even know. SARS was more deadly but patients became ill right away and you knew as a healthcare provider to quarantine them. So wearing some type of face covering will provide some protection.

I hope this helps. I will provide the difference between an aerosol and a droplet in a moment.

Ok, the video shows them using an aerosol can to prove there point. Its false in respect to Covid-19.

Covid-19 or diseases similar are spread by droplet form or better yet large droplet form. I say large but its still very small in size but they call it large. Aerosols are typically much smaller but do have liquid in the air, hence as the video shows. The reality is humans cant produce an aerosol effect hence why Covid is not spread in this fashion. 

Masks prevent droplet spread and not aerosol spread.

Of course the science is not so black and white but I hope this helps. When Covid hit, as a provider we had to learn very quickly how to field questions like this, but with science it can be proven wrong.

I hope this helps.

So the mask I'm wearing at the top is actually super paper thin and unfortunately its all that we are given to use but its effective for the droplets that Pete was talking about, and on the bottom is the PPE gear which is once again very see through and what Pete said is very true.

Great pics Icequeen. We use the exact same PPE but we have to use a full face shield and a mask. We have different level masks depending on if the patient is covid positive, or has symptoms or symptom free. We have been lucky, we have had no shortages of PPE.

Note: I love the name on the eyewear, we do the same lol ?

It's equivalent to putting a chain link fence up around your back yard to stop mosquitoes from coming in

It will stop the really big ones and you should be happy because those big one are so fat they can't fly over a 4 foot fence. So they would just sit on you and suck the blood out of you like a juice container ?
