When the mask mandate was lifted from Mass General Brigham in May '23, hospital transmission of resp virus went up. When the mandate was re-instituted in Jan '24, infection rates went down. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20240523/Study-confirms-face-masks-effectiveness-in-reducing-disease-transmission-calls-for-improved-public-understanding.aspx

It's the sun!
Pfffft to y’all!
I’m old with health issues so I’m not taking any risks.

Why did the conspiracy MAGA types get so angry about masks?
They’re so weird 😆🤦
droplets come through the eyes as well.
mucous membrane.
nose.
wearing glasses help.
I wear a mask in stores.
And again …
All they care about is being right and will lie, cheat and steal to prove it.

I wear N95s when dealing with construction and cat litter
🤡
She never got sick but we all wore masks until her immune system recovered.
Masks save lives.
I've been curating this one, there's another one floating around with many more accounts to block. At the click of one button.
Anyhoo, welcome to Bluesky, Rick Harp is already here, and I expect to see more of my peeps soon.

And as done by @briangoldman.bsky.social provide the source.
Droplets escape constantly...
The right convinced people that the mask was to protect the wearer and hence it doesn't work. it was all a trick...

There’s no such thing as purely airborne transmission without droplets BTW. Viruses can’t fly.
"While similar, airborne and droplet transmission have key differences, including the size of the infectious particles you spread and how they react in the environment." Longer explanation here

Can you pass a marble through a chain linked fence: YES
Huh, curious.
2. Interview. If you're going to post some bullshit at least spell it correctly. I mean you have auto correct right there.
3. Post your sources. C'mon, let's see em.
And yet people deny it...
I give up on these stupid people!
If you didn't see that, you never went out in public. Kids would flip them, pull them off and on. It did no good for kids.
It was a bad policy, as is it scared children, especially those who need to see people's faces for social cues.
The virus is way too small for the mask to stop it from passing through it.
It’s like sticking a pencil through a cyclone fence.
Just keep posting more BS.
I proudly were my mask at work to protect the vulnerable people I care for 😷❤️
I'm no expert though.
intelligent people wear a mask in public,crowded
places.
Which unfortunately nowadays is not common!
If this virus had been properly handled in the first place, we wouldn’t be having these discussions.
My mom was old, in good health, stuck in a facility because of lockdown. She survived the covid. Twice. And got so pissed off about it that she unalived herself.
I'm sure those people dealing with said disabilities that need to see facial expressions found a way to make it work. You're also claiming a very small percentage of the populous.
Sources. Go.
2021, her nurse came to work with Covid and passes to my sister.
She died from Covid.
Some live/work in environments with much higher exposure rates (call centers, schools…).
🙄
late complications...
My granddaughter is now afraid to get sick because Mom would test her for Covid every single time. She wore masks so much; the poor girl is very stunted socially and rarely wants to go to school.
We will rue the day we masked kids and isolated them.
in your own home,and give others a mask while
in Your home.
My home, my choice.

Dumb is obviously a subjective term and education is only one of many factors related to a person’s vaccination status. The takeaway though is that 85’ish% of kids have the same status as their parents
Go ahead and stick your head in the sand and refuse to open your heart and mind.
I pity you.
Which isn't a lie, which pleased my pappa.
Healthcare doesn't deserve this name if they actually don't care about mask in hospitals
Lemme buy some candy
It's only used in a car.
That's who I was talking about. I have autism in my family, and it absolutely was difficult for them and others I know.
Just because you didn't have a problem doesn't mean there wasn't one.
Also just because people did have a problem doesn’t mean we should risk others lives. (I don’t have enough room here so I’ll continue it in another reply)
It ruined kid's mental health.
Is it so difficult to be considerate to others when you are sick yourself?
My body ... my choice, right??
We have free agency.
If women can kill their unborn babies because of my body, my choice, I can do the same with putting something on and in my body.
Turnabout is fair play. 🤷♀️
You can sure dish it out but can't take it.
My sister wore the most effective mask & did all of the above & got it 3 times.
I got it once.
