    Thanks for your opinion. I have tested them... and while I feel they are far inferior to store bought masks I could see a marked improvement.
    Do the experiment yourself
    Stand with the sun silhouetting you so that you can see the droplets expelled when you talk and try the various types of masks

    You’ll be stunned. And you’ll see that virtually ALL masks work... some better than others.

    You forget about the six week lag between the (partial) ban on Chinese travel and the (partial) ban on European travel I guess huh?

    You really just need a paper towel and a spray bottle set to mist. It's undeniable proof that a cover slows down the water droplets coming from our mouth. Also, I learned this in 8th grade physics. The whole feather/bowling ball, vacuum/resistance lesson we should have all received.

    I continue to be stunned at how many can't grasp the concept of resistance. Pretty simple stuff.

    (Shhh... don't tell them that a bowling ball and a feather fall at exactly the same speed. It'll scare 'em)

    No... actually I did not.
    I was responding to the claim that there were only two days at issue

    The sad fact of Trump’s inadequate response to a pandemic seems to make you want to compartmentalize things in a way that you see as a rhetorical victory

    It wasn't my opinion, it was the opinion of a nationally recognized expert on infectious diseases. She concluded that cloth face masks are useless both for protecting oneself and for protecting others.

    I posted the link multiple times on this thread, so I guess you didn't try hard enough. Why would an expert like her be wrong, and you right?

    She's not in the majority.

    Counties in Kansas, where masks are required are seeing a decrease in cases. Counties where masks are not required are not seeing a decrease.

    Isn't that a strange coincidence? It's happening like that everywhere.

    Masks don't do anything, yet, when people are compliant in wearing them, cases go down.

    Read head scratcher.

    "
    Is Sweden's coronavirus strategy a cautionary tale or a success story?


    Health 13 August 2020
    By Michael Le Page

    Streets in Stockholm’s Old Town were nearly empty in April because of the coronavirus pandemic

    Sweden was one of the few European countries not to impose a compulsory lockdown. Its unusual strategy for tackling the coronavirus outbreak has been both hailed as a success and condemned as a failure. So which is it?

    Those who regard the strategy as a success claim it reduced the economic impact, but it isn’t clear that it did. What is clear is that so far Sweden has had a more protracted outbreak with far more deaths per capita than its neighbours.

    While it is sometimes implied that Sweden didn’t have a lockdown, it did. It was just largely voluntary, with only a few legal measures such as a ban on gatherings of more than 50 people."

    Voluntary wouldn't work here...

    The states that have high infection rates are going to have a lot of trouble with their schools opening...

    Well it's a great way to get rid of those annoying old people and lower the property value at the same time.

    Unlike Trump, NY learned from their mistakes, and bent the curve.

    IOW, the last thing we need is more failure from Trump.
