If you cant wear a mask for your own selfish reasons.

Ah yes, the ol' switcheroo. The vast majority of people *do* wear masks because they are required in the vast majority of places that people go. The statistics regarding the relationship between mask wearing and infection of covid is a total crapshoot. "Masks" would be much more effective if everyone had an N-95, for sure. A piece of paper or cloth strapped around your mouth and nose barely does jack shit, because there are gigantic holes in them, relative to the size of the particles we are talking about.

And for the millionth time, thankfully, covid does not appear to be dangerous for the vast, vast majority of people. So if you can't honestly assess the differential between the harms of exposure to covid and the harms of lockdowns, you are not arguing in good faith. You are an ideologue.

Im just mad all these pages are half the people saying to wear masks and the other half saying masks dont work.

But those anti mask people are revealing they thought wearing masks meant shutting down the economy

And to make maters worse those same people said to pull the wool out from our eyes.

Where'd you put it, your EARS?!!

lmao im so funny

Typical douglas1999 response. Ignores statistical data provided to him in a previous argument about this same thing that proved him wrong and then proceeds to try and make the same exact argument again. Lol I sincerely hope you do not have offspring.

C19 is here, can’t shut down the economy forever. Need a large civic project to boost the economy. Build hospitals. Extra capacity for increased health burden to reduce lockdown. jobs too, fuck it build it thru grants to private sector, everyone wins.

Douglass only believes in 1 thing:

Wearing masks is a vote to shut down the economy permanently.

He’s not considering the cotton industry, textile manufacturer and sales! Buying masks boosts the economy.

10 months and idk how many separate threads, but on page 23 of the mask thread, Douglass finally figured out 'wearing masks', does not literally mean 'shut down economy'

and he says people dont explain their arguments to him lmao

What should we do to boost the economy, print more money?

Build hospitals? Most of them are not even full yet, we dont need anymore we have a vaccine now.

Grants? Who pays for those?

Everyone wins? With your plan everyone loses, you think like a democrat and have no money in the bank.

No I believe that wearing masks is fine but is effectively functioning as a placebo in our society because the vast majority of masks being worn don't provide much protection against transmission. Which isn't the end of the world, because covid does not appear to be very dangerous at all for the vast majority of people.

Lockdowns on the other hand I think are *extremely* bad because the health risks associated with contracting this particular disease are miniscule compared to the societal risks of shutting down entire local and state economies for an entire year.

I'll give you masks, I'll even pretend that covid is airborne ebola; all you have to do is explain in specific detail why *lockdowns* are justified.
