Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Because that worked so well in 1918's influenza pandemic. And that worked even better back when almost two-thirds of Europe died to the bubonic and pneumonic plagues, right? I ask again: jesus, do you even know what you're saying anymore?
You can't argue with facts. Masks aren't perfect, but not wearing a mask is no defense at all. Numerically, it's like this. Let's assume that masks are only 10% effective (they're probably higher, but let's use a low number that won't offend your tender sensibilities). So if you wear a mask, that's a 10% resistance to you getting sick, and a 10% lesser likelihood that others get sick from you if you are carrying and end up transmitting. If you are without a mask, that protection is 0. If you think your precious American patriotism is any protection against this virus, go talk to the hundred and thirty-odd thousand dead Americans killed by Covid-19 and ask them how well their patriotism served them. I am thoroughly done being gentle and sympathetic with you.
The simple fact remains that you want to live your life. Cool. So while you're at it, admit that by doing so in the way you intend, you're valuing that life over virtually everyone else's, to such an extent that you'll ignore science if it suits you to do so. You are, at this point, an embodiment of one of our greatest criticisms of the right wing. They value institutions, corporations and the status quo over individuals. That's you, right down to the ground. If the mask fits...
