We don’t get it from oil either. Can’t you take a joke.
Put 20 children in a room and you think masks are going to protect them? The children were not have trouble with Covid anyway.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is only about 100 nanometers in diameter. The holes in your standard cloth or surgical mask are much larger than the size of a coronavirus.
They needed to be manufactured. Same question. Do nothing, or use what we had?
Yes, with the Heritage Foundation. They want to destroy public education, take away birth control, ban abortion, deport people, get rid of Social Security, and so much more damage to the U.S.

That’s what trump said.
What a coincidence.

You are the king of the cherry pickers. You took your quote from the reflection questions. It’s followed immediately by this
Given the way the virus is transmitted, why are masks still so effective at stopping transmission of the virus?
And it asks you to “think about it”.
Here’s an article that explains how masks work.
Size alone is thinking of a mask like pouring water through a colander. But a virus travels on larger droplets, and tiny particles don’t push through any available hole. They move erratically so they can be caught in a mesh.

“use what we had?” “We is the whole world.” The world was trusting us to do the right thing. The USA was the science of the world. The world trusted us to do the right actions to fight this bat virus. Did we standup and do the correct thing? Or did we lie and cover-up the true facts? The way I remember this mask using unfolding was. We needed to wear masks. China had taken control of the most of the masks. Tax dollars were used to help open mask making operations.
We should always do what we can. But it was wrong to lie. To let people think they would be safe by wearing a mask that would stop spread of the virus. The six foot distance also was not science based. Once you lie. You lose credibility. If it would help. Then our government should have said it was only a helping action.
If one’s mind is in a gutter, and one exists in a fact free zone dominated by self-serving political motives, one can slanderize anything, as Mike Yoke can demonstrated with such professionalism.
Go back to 2020

Who is cherry picking here. You are talking like we were told to use N95 masks. That did not happen. In the beginning very few of the masks were N95 masks. Why don’t you use data that fits what the public had to use? What I posted was was from the CDC - “The holes in your standard cloth or surgical mask are much larger than the size of a coronavirus.” Those were not N95 masks. You are comparing apples to oranges. The N95 masks came about after it was published that the CDC was using science with a mistake on virus size for masks that happen back decades before and never checked or cleared up. That data came out about the time you would see Fauci wearing two to three masks at the same time.
Facts are, that masks helped. They helped because Covid was not airborne.
It took about two years for the WHO agency to admit that Covid is airborne.
Is two years just bad science or politically driven science? Or do you think it should take two years of research to find out if Covid was airborne. Why did they tell us in the first place it was not airborne?
Do masks stop the airborne Covid spread? No.
The facts and science are that masks do not stop Covid.
They do help by reducing the distance pathogens travel. That’s all.
This is not cherry picking. This is the facts and science.
Yeah we had a President trump who was clueless to begin with, compounded by simply not giving a darn.
The Trump administration failed to take the pandemic seriously
1. A botched public health response
2. A failure to help workers retain their jobs
3. Three years of slashing critical safety nets
4. A failure to prevent layoffs of state and local workers
5. A failure to help small businesses
That’s all ?
What are you expecting of masks, to cure the disease ???
There is no point in talking to you. Sorry I didn’t find something that responded to your words exactly. I’m asking you to apply the science of droplets and brownian motion. Instead you pick sentence from an article about designing masks, one that doesn’t make your case.
I couldn’t come to a different conclusion.
We will see in November how many are living in the alternate reality field.

It gets worse for Biden. Now he has covid which completely throws out whatever he had resembling a campaign schedule

Amanda Carpenter, Writer and Editor of Protect Democracy, McKay Coppins, Staff Writer for The Atlantic, and David Jolly, former Congressman from Florida joins Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with a look at how JD Vance selection as Donald Trump running mate has showed how the Republican party has transformed and mainstreamed extremism.
Its a barrel of laughs with the trivial and superficial analysis you put up.
Today’s New York Times has an unusually astute guest editorial by one Ed Simon, entitled “J.D. Vance Keeps Selling His Soul. He’s Got Plenty of Buyers.” His sharpest paragraph asserts:
Without too much hyperbole, it could be said that J.D. Vance — a possible heir to the MAGA movement who has embraced some of the most noxious elements of the alt-right and the national conservative movement — is an infernal creation of the powerful liberals who championed his writing and elevated his platform. It’s hard to imagine that without “Hillbilly Elegy,” which was adapted into a film by the Democratic Party donor Ron Howard in 2020, Mr. Vance would have become the junior senator of Ohio, much less a nominee for vice president. His book and film contracts have proven Faustian in the sense that they may place him a heartbeat from the Oval Office.
My husband showed me this (If you have virgin ears… he uses some foul language in his skit):
I like this guy. Here’s more from him (BTW, these are just videos of a person I agree with. They are not sources to support something):

You can talk about the droplets and the Brownian motion. Which is just side stepping the issue. The issue here is that I stated to coffee that masks were an example of suppression of people’s constitutional rights.
You are trying to make out that the N-95 mask would stop covid. The “95” of the N-95 means it is only 95% effective. Then you add the timeline of when the N-95 was available for distribution to the public. Which was January 2023. Two years and two months into the pandemic before the general public had access to N-95 masks. Coffee said he was fine with the way the government handled the pandemic. We have different viewpoints on how the government should operate. The post is titled – “Republicans continue their march to totalitarianism.” I was using the Covid to point out the obvious that it is the not the Republicans, but the Democrats that want the country to head into totalitarianism.
Which is hysterical alt-right posturing.
To STOP COVID, you do live in a fact free zone.
No one said masks could stop the disease, it could only lower your chances of getting it. But that you think is unconstitutional.
Want to talk about unconstitutional? How about this Supreme Court monstrosity?
Not what the article said at all. I never understood people like you who don’t discuss how you can stop most of the covid deaths and insist that if you can’t stop all of them then it’s suppression to do anything. It’s totally unreasonable.
