mask debate is picking up steam after it looked like it was on life support.

we may need to get a mask on the fires and embers out west to settle this.

Sigh. 2020 has just been a swell year for our country. Next up for debate in America: is water needed for living things?

Nah, let it all drain into the Pacific. Save the delta smelt.

putting a fine point on my position:
anyone that believes masks can be and are effective for our present state of circumstance might want to consider being as flummoxed as i am that the messaging everywhere isn't:
- "here's what constitutes an effective mask... and what may not."

sounds easy, but evidently not.

Well it sure wasn't hard. I googled "CDC mask guidelines", and this was the first link:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nc ... rings.html

The problem isn't whether guidelines exist, it's that the president trying to get reelected is a selfish narcissist.

nope, the 'mistake' was that even Honolulu, much less Hawaii, had never imposed an outdoor mask mandate. The Mayor had proposed it, but it wasn't implemented. By the end of July, he turned to a focus on bars etc as cases began to rise.

So, where are you getting your "graphs", Petey?

PS, universal outdoor mask mandates aren't necessary.
Masks ARE necessary in crowded situations and indoor situations, indeed any instance where social distancing isn't feasible.

Masks outside are an overkill unless it’s a mass gathering with people in close proximity.

well, yeah. but the reality of daily life, the whole everything about what's gone down puts this all in the washing machine.

what happens when 5 people descend in your space and you don't have your mask on quick enough? the amount of regulatory rules and exceptions you'd need to put in place are enormous, even to follow the science. many/most don't make sense given what's allowed and what's not.

what should be in our best interests should be people doing what's in our best interests, and being informed. people and legislators included. sadly, that is just... not... the... case.

Not sure where I will be outside where a crowd of people will descend on me....maybe if I am wearing my MAGA hat and some back slappers and glad handers see me.....

We don’t have enough truly “effective“ masks. What we have are enough “masks that are better than nothing”. Think of it as a poor goalie versus no goalie. You don’t need anyone to tell you any goalie is better than no goalie (not any player trying to play goalie, but a “goalie”).

France has reported 9,843 new coronavirus cases, setting an all-time high of daily infections, six days after the previous record of 8,975.

Since the beginning of the month, new cases have gone up by 7,292 each day on average, a figure that blows away the previous record daily average of 3,003 seen in August.

fwiw, not the science i've seen. even if we could science it precisely. great country, america, though.
our amateur opinions can be heard.

There are level 3 surgical masks in every drugstore and hardware store here where I live. They are available on Amazon with 3 day delivery for $0.74 per mask.

These have a ton of science behind them being more effective than not wearing anything.

You're probably talking about the fishing gaiters, which may break up larger exhaled droplets and could potentially disperse the virus more by keeping it in the air longer.

We have enough masks proven to help to go around nowadays. Whether people want to use them is another issue...

Science isn’t the problem. It’s the people. Scientists know how to “wipe it out” but we have to consider the people.

yes. there seems to be availability of all types nowadays. basic medical in particular, also 95s, and others.

gaiters, bandanas and single cloth make up the lower end of the totem pole. anecdotally have seen a much smaller percentage of those than a couple months ago. still maybe 30-40% (guess) but it was twice and more than that previously.

have a number of dual ply and a bunch of medical.

I was in NYC last night.... it was masks galore....mostly KN95 type masks... It made me laugh as a colleague told me I was crazy if I thought Americans were going to walk around like the Chinese and Japanese back in March. I told him they are not stupid people and have seen enough of these types of viruses.... he begged to differ.... It ain't rocket science.....stay away from people and wear a mask (3 ply if no KN95) until the cavalry arrives.... we don't have the will power...we want to watch sports, eat and drink out and go to gyms and hair/nail salons.

I bought some 3-ply with a pocket for a carbon filer. I bought sheets of HEPA filter which I cut and inserted in the pocket. I wear a KN95 but will wear a 3 ply with a HEPA filter eventually.

Tough to be "fond" of people who purposely put others at risk of death, 'cause they're "American" and are "free"...dumb and selfish 'real Muricans'.

We have a beautiful country with wonderful aspirations, enormous good fortune, yet take so much for granted, squander so much.

I really don't understand the fear of wearing a mask. What do those same people think when they see "No Shirt. No Shoes. No Serivce"?
