Polis to mandate masks across the state

[Ridge]

Seatbelts and helmets aren't really the same as the mask thing. Regardless of how you feel about wearing seatbelts and helmets there is some pretty compelling, if not indisputable, evidence they actually do what they're supposed to do...save lives and prevent injury. There is no such compelling evidence (yet) the wearing of masks by healthy people does anyone any good.

I wore a helmet about 50% of the time I rode my Harley. I liked riding without a helmet because I could hear better, see better and mostly just because of how it felt. It was a risk I decided I'd take. Luckily it never bit me in the ass.

Medical staff have worn masks for like a century to combat spread of disease in circumstances where others are at risk for infection.

Medical staff are trained to properly use a mask and there's proof positive that it benefits healthcare workers and patients being treated.

The gen pop at large is not trained and we have all seen the shitshow that is mask wearing. I firmly believe it's ineffective for the generally healthy.

Put mask over mouth and nose.

Congrats, you are now trained. This isn't nuclear physics.

Mask wearing is not a USMLE. simple! In fact , it is simplier than MCAT.

btw, even non-medical school graduate can score 200 on USMLE. Congrats! You are now a resident at U of XYZ.

Tell that to this guy.

No shit. Or the lady next to him. Brutal was correct when he called the current "masking" fiasco a "shitshow". Because people are just generally clueless.

And really it's "face coverings" that are mandated, like a bandana at a minimum I suppose. When I see surgeons wearing bandana's in the operating room I'll believe they're effective. What a farce this all is.

No wonder so few people properly wear a mask...because of nonsense like this. Everyone thinks they're an expert when generally they can't tell the difference between shit and Shinola.

Obviously you're not a trained medical professional. And the only training anyone gets from that post is how not to wear a mask. What about washing hands first? What about securing the bottom of the mask under your chin? What about ensuring there's a snug fit around your face? What about special considerations if you have facial hair? What about sanitizing your hands before removing the mask? What about all the other considerations required for properly wearing a mask?

OK Boomer.

At least, that's what you sound like right now.

I said "properly." If you don't follow proper donning and doffing procedures and hand washing, and not reuse a contaminated mask, it's improper. If it's not worn or fitted correctly, it's improper.
