Wow, you've written some real doozies on these threads but that's the best/worst one yet. This has been going on for 4 months now and you still don't get that people without symptoms that don't even know they are sick (yet) can spread the virus... hence, I wear a mask even when I don't think I'm sick to protect YOU. It's not that difficult to do nor that difficult to understand the premise...

You haven't heard that Covid-19 can be spread by asymptomatic people?

That would be fine if the mask protected the wearer from catching the virus. But the purpose of the mask is to keep infected people, who may be asymptomatic, from infecting others.

This is not completely correct and there has been a lot of untrue information given out by the CDC and other health organizations. To say that a mask doesn't protect the wearer defies logic. It does protect the wearer to a significant extent ie: from inhaling covid19 from the air (active). The problem is that the virus can be absorbed through the eyes (passive). It makes sense that this would not be the more significant risk, but some risk none-the-less. Personally, when I have to go into a higher risk environment I wear a mask and goggles as well as going through a sanitation procedure.

The way I see it is that I have no control over what other people do . . . . I do have control over what I do.

Sorry, but if you only watch CNN you only get what they crop to. You don’t know what they left out.

Most CNN questions are loaded. More impotantly all of their stream of invectives against Trump are.

Watch the same stories on FOX and you will see.

CNN is the most unreliable of all the news reporters. Also MSNBC. It is so bad, that I never watch it anymore.
FOX, reports are much more unbiased and believable.

Your point would have been reputed if you had posted a picture of the person with and then without a mask.

However since the cloud is the result of the warm air in the body meeting the cold air of the environment and the subsequent crystallization of the warm air - I'm afraid that your point would have been lost because the 'cloud' wold have been big with or without the mask.

CNN is biased towards the left, FOX is biased towards the right. It sounds like you just like FOX's political slant better.

True. But it happens they don’t bias everything and don’t distort as much (they did add a guy holding a gun to a Chop image). They usually include a leftie on their panels. And one of their moderators, Chris Wallace, is a leftie.

I still punish myself a few times a week to peek in at what the fake news channels are focused on.

A mask keeps your germs away from people close to you-from inches to feet.
Their mask keeps their germs from you. It's a win-win situation. IMHO, those who downplay masks are extremely selfish and obviously have no respect for others or themselves. How sad is that?

And not very smart. Even sadder.

When I go into a higher risk environment I always run into people without masks, many times significant numbers of them.

Which is pretty rare. They usually pick one sentence in a conversation and place it out of context.

I have seen very very few clips in which they play just one sentence.
