    Face mask

    I am not an anti masker....but I fail to see how a mask prevents a virus...same with anti-bacterial hand sanitizer...
    I do get that droplets from a cough or sneeze or from those who spit while talking can be arrested by face mask....but it ends there. Other question bothering me is about disposal of hundred of thousand of used mask...used mask by common people end up in garbage bins...is this a disaster waiting to happen 🤔 given that virus lives on for few days as mentioned by scientists.

    Virus is airborne. Proper masks prevent the droplets from escaping or being taken in. If a carrier is wearing a mask and you aren't or vice verca your risks are reduced, if you both are wearing a mask and maintain social distance it reduces to near 0 risk.

    This video explains well.

    As for the 2nd part, yeah that is something I had considered also. I guess that's why reusable masks with washable filters are recommended.

    Wearing a mask is to protect the others. So your droplets do not escape. It's not so much protecting you from getting contact with viruses. N95 may give you some protection from inhaling virus in airborne but you have to seal the gaps properly to ensure the air you inhale is filtered.

    The promotion of wearing mask is to reduce the transmission rate within the society and eventually stop virus from spreading.

    It’s spread primarily by respiratory droplets. Masks work when enough people wear them and there’s social distancing.

    When buying hand sanitizers go for alcohol based ones and particularly high alcohol content ones. Correct that anti bacterial will not help but alcohol does in disrupting the virus membrane.

    Soap also has the same concept. Membranes are lipid based.

    A simple explanation for you in the following scenarios :

    1. If you and another man stand face to face, both not wearing trousers. If he pisses and sprays on you, you will get wet. ( both no mask )

    2. If you’re wearing trousers, he prays on you. You still might get wet, but not as much and not as easily, not as quickly. ( you’re wearing mask )

    3. If both of you are wearing trousers, he sprays on you. You won’t get wet. ( both wearing masks )

    You read from somewhere that virus can get through proper mask ?

    And the virus is not gas like fart as you suggested, it’s droplets.

    You are all surely taking the piss right?

    In a forum where punters openly talks about DFK, DATY, BBBJ etc, who would have thought they are encouraging other people to wear a mask to protect themselves from a so called "virus" that you will catch through droplets in the air through your eyes, mouth and nose.

    How ridiculous and what irony/hyprocrisy is this?

    The science on whether masks work to protect us is debatable at best. Yet we are all brainwashed to believe they are the ultimate solution that will help us beat this virus and will be forced to wear one. If you have not figured out by now that there are shenanigans behind this whole virus saga, then you need to do a proper research and consider views outside the mainstream/goverment narrative.

    I am loving the practical side of this conversation....we were born free and should use our own brain , do due diligence in seeking all round knowledge and be prepared to change as new knowledge comes to light...

    Remember a few months ago when they were saying don't wear a mask if your negative/not showing symptoms because all it does is cause unnecessary touching of the face from constantly putting it on/off and adjusting it. Now they turn around and force people to wear one? Ummm ok

    Well many of the ppl who are spreading it nowadays are those who are not presenting symptoms even though they have Covid.

    This case in the US where 2 Covid infected hairdressers continued to service 140 clients while wearing facemask the whole time prevented all 140 of those clients from being infected sells it for me.
