-Removed-No no, you’re completely off the mark here. Surgeons wear masks so No one can identify them later and sue them for malpractice. That’s also why they wear disposable gloves: no fingerprints on the scalpels. We’re all just involuntary organ donors for the obscenely rich, like Gates and Bezos. They’re secretly harvesting us. Just ask metalbrain, he’s got the internet links to prove it.
@wajoma saidExcept the virus that causes COVID19 doesn't fly through the air all by its lonesome but on drops of saliva or water usually much larger than a typical bacteria.
When handled correctly to stop large droplets and foreign bodies from entering an open wound. Foreign bodies hundreds of times larger than a virus.
@no1marauder saidExcept that now you're making stuff up, it may travel on a droplet of saliva but these droplets are a tiny part of your exhale aerosols are unable to be processed by your stupid rag, and even worse when your breath is accelerated out the gaps around the side of your face thus traveling further, so the surgeons mask which is carefully handled stops the large droplets shooting straight out is nose and mouth but in the case of a virus whoah to be standing either side of him.

Can a wuflu positive surgeon turn up to work and expect to work on patients if he puts on your stupid rag?
@wajoma saidI didn't "make up" anything, what I said was 100% true.

We've heard your anti-mask spiel for three years and it doesn't change the expert medical consensus that masks help protect the user and others. You have zero qualifications to meaningfully challenge that assessment.
Of course, no one ever suggested those aware they have COVID simply put on a mask and then conduct themselves in a normal manner, so you can put that Strawman away for good. But someone can have COVID and not be aware of it, so masks are quite useful in that circumstance.

@no1marauder saidYes, but it was a kind of lying by omission thing which has been the foundation for your whole mask evangelism, yes the wuflu can travel on droplets but droplets are a tiny tiny part of your exhale. Yes masks may provide some benefit but not as worn and handled by virtually everyone, and statistically we can say everyone, including I would posit yourself. In fact the way people handled masks was more harm than good.

I didn't bring up the surgeons mask example so it is no strawman, if anything the surgeons mask is a strawman, to your credit you avoid it. It's been dealt with before but divegeester is a bit slower than others so it needs to be explained again. Picture if you will the protocols a surgeon goes through to wear and handle his mask, did you do that?
As for my mask training, which is about 100% more than what you've done by the sound of it:
NZ Fire Service and US OSHA.
@wajoma saidYour so-called "mask training" as zero to do with the medical implications of mask wearing during a pandemic. There are ample studies available that show mask wearing was somewhat effective in slowing the spread of COVID, your insistence of their uselessness unless the wearer followed the exact protocols you deem necessary notwithstanding.

@no1marauder saidHaha, No1 Miss Representor has no idea of what the 'zero' training involved. What it involved was how masks worked and why they didn't, how to handle masks and how not to.

No1 Miss Representor, the larf of the day award is yours.

@no1marauder saidIt was a bad time, but one of the great sources of amusement was the holier than thou happy clapper mask zombies leading by example doing everything wrong and rendering their stupid rag useless while putting on 'self righteous' airs. All the petty busybody bureaurats and pollies, the shrieking Karens, the reporters, the NZ police with facial hair while burning up tax payer money with the fancy N95 masks,hypocrites, ijits, mask zombies.
