I seem to remember that he was also with the person for a fairly long time and the person was asymptomatic at the time they were together. (showing the need for everyone to wear them)KlinkerAg11 said:
And to bring my point into this he had a very mild case.
I don't think everyone needs to wear an N95 mask, but a face covering will lesson the viral load.
You should consider yourself lucky if that's all you catch over there!AggieOO said:

Masks are dependent not upon you wearing one but on those around you doing soooo......Confucius said:
This heavily starred thread on F16 got me thinking: Has anyone heard of someone dutifully wearing facemasks when needed and still catching coronavirus? I haven't heard of anyone being good with masks and catching it, and you would think with mask truthers out there thinking this is a sham, that there would be actual stories of mask usage not working.

This. A properly fitting N95 will protect you from the virus. Most people don't get fit tested for these, or have had to use a different model that doesn't fit as well due to shortages. If it's not a perfect fit, then you can still get infection.Quote:

You know what the 95 means, right?revvie said:
eric76 caught it while wearing N95 mask. Check his posts
Wonder what the weight of the avg Asian is? Wonder if they have better diets?FlyRod said:
Everyone in Asia, where mask wearing is ubiquitous, cases are few/low, and life is returning to normal, is reading this thread and shaking their heads.

Since 700+ healthcare workers have died, I think there is a fair amount of anecdotal evidence that you can catch it wearing a mask.
But I dont believe anyone (of any credibility) has ever said that masks (any mask) 100% prevent transmission the virus. It is about making a material reduction in risk through a low cost means.
These arguments remind me of the arguments against condom use. They dont work 100% of the time, so why bother using them or encouraging them?
Why do you care since they hurt no one? It's those who refuse to wear masks that can damage others.Capitol Ag said:Yet masks helped no one in those circumstances that were mentioned!

Sure. When I see them I'll tell them thanks for doing their part to limit the spread, for protecting others, and for showing some simple courtesy that seems really hard to come by these days.
Interesting because many of my least favorite posters over there have no Ag tag (some probably because it's their second or third post ban handle)bigtruckguy3500 said:

Probably depends on the media you watch. Everyone I watch wears them unless in a single studio.tysker said:Doesn't bother me but its counter to the science I have read about transmission and counter to the logic behind social distancing. Again very few people in the media or the news is wearing a mask even when reporting from public spaces. I assume you think they should be.Sisyphus said:Quote:

If you're in an area where the virus is airborne, it will collect on the outer surface of the mask as you breathe in. So masks don't protect you well if you're touching them often to put them on and off. That's why people leave them on and they are smart to do so.
I don't understand why that would bother you.
Not triggered. Well, I do question if those people have serious OCD they may need to get checked out by a professional. Seriously. I have been very OCD in the past and had to get control of that. Call it concerned more than anything. Just thought it was funny that the guy would thank them when they did not do anything.ElephantRider said:Capitol Ag said:Yet masks helped no one in those circumstances that were mentioned!

You're right, the mask serves no purpose there. I only wear when I'm going into the store. But why are you so triggered by the sight of someone in a mask? It doesn't affect you
Yes, of course I was referring to every poster there with an AgTag, and not just the indivduals in the Op's link, and those that still continue to not understand the purpose/reasoning of wearing a mask. /sarcasmHowdyTexasAggies said:Comical, your blanket statement about Forum 16 speaks for itself.bigtruckguy3500 said:

My doctor told me to go to the store and buy an pair of safety goggles to protect the eyes (he said glasses aren't good enough). You can get them at either Walmart or Lowes/Home Depot.012-MAN said:
I thought the virus enters via your mount/nose or eyes. Thus wearing a mask can restrict it from entering the nose/mouth but it can still get in via your eyes. Also you can get it by rubbing your hands on your nose or eyes.
thus... it helps, but does not prevent
