And droplet sizes are bigger. You people are just dumb, at least try and help yourselves not die

We're not dumb. By wearing a mask you are:

implying people wash their hands before and after donning the mask

implying people don't shove the mask in their pockets/bag after use

implying surgical masks aren't for use in hospitals by trained professionals

implying these masks were designed for use by the general public

implying people wear the mask as they were designed to be worn

implying that masks are not a damp, warm environment that bacteria love to reproduce in

implying that people dispose of the mask properly after use

implying that people wear a new mask every time they wear one

implying that masks don't constrict breathing

implying that mandating masks by law isn't an egregious and authoritarian application of the law

implying people shouldn't be allowed to decide for themselves how to manage their own health

implying that people wash and dry non-surgical masks (cloth masks/homemade masks) after each use

implying that there is a scientific consensus among scientists and medics over the use of masks

implying that the scientific evidence that masks reduce viral spread is extremely weak at best

implying that the scientific advice was for the general public NOT to wear face masks (see Dr. Fauci stating this in the video linked below)

implying that goverments don't lie and distort the scientific evidence to fit their agendas

implying masks don't muffle speech making it difficult for the hard of hearing

implying covering the face isn't a huge barrier to communication

implying that people with a genuine medical condition don't get abuse in shops, public transport etc

implying that mask wearing isn't designed to demoralise people and make them more afraid

implying that you are not an authoritarian freedom-hating bootlicking NPC absolute cunt who hates freedom

I could go on and provide more examples of why your post is utter horseshit, but there's a limit to how long I can keep typing.

Now FUCK OFF.

"implying people shouldn't be allowed to decide for themselves how to manage their own health" - I love this one, lol

That's the most faggot list I've read so far

China (Mainland)- Total cases 91,252

United States - Total cases 7,800,000

and China has x4 the population...

you are not dealing with the problem because you have your heads stuck up your arse crying about your rights, you are a nation of babies

Too_The_Point ago

You believe China is giving us real data?

Do you remember when China lied to the world about Human to Human transmission?

How about when China shut down travel within their own borders, but not the rest of the world?

Do you think China has altruistic intentions regarding the extermination of this virus?

dampkitty ago

No I think they are lying.

but I also believe that any country that is happy to weld people's front door shut to stop it spreading, and can test a city of 5 million people in a few days over a reported 12 infections, is going to be better than the rest of the world in coping with this. You guys are still going on biker rallies ffs

Too_The_Point ago

You think they are lying but believe the rest of that crap? China would weld their citizen's doors shut for no reason at all if they wanted to.

That's the difference between China and the US, the Constitution gives it's citizen's rights that no other country has.

How did you corner yourself in to defending China in this convo?

dampkitty ago

I'm not "defending China", I' just pointing out that by default, Totalitarian societies are much more effective at forcing a population to act towards a goal than any democracy could.

Imagine a virus much more infectious than this, China could nail everyone down for a month and kill it dead. Americans would still be demanding to sing in a church.

To a lessor extent that's what we are seeing now, America's cases are rising, other countries are levelling out. The only reason your society hasn't reacted yet is that it's not killing anyone you know.

Too_The_Point ago

You are categorically defending China. Come off it, bro.

flashmans_nutcup ago

So you agree that China are lying but also believe they tested 5 million people in a few days? You're a fucking nutter.
