Bull****.

So you are saying they don't stop any pathogens. The ones you
encounter pass through 100%.

That's not entirely accurate. Masks are very effective at stopping
droplets and dust. They act as carriers of the virus.

But the droplets and dust are still on the mask, waiting to be
projected across the room with those sneezes everyone seems so afraid
of. Since this is really talking about being in a store, the fact that
you are only spraying counters and merchandise that is a foot or two
in front of you is not that consoling. I understand John carries a bag
and he carefully puts his mask in there but that is not what I see
happening. People pull it off and shove it in their pocket, with their
keys, money or whatever else they carry around. A woman shoving it in
her purse is even more disgusting since everything she owns is in that
purse. You can wash your hands all you like but if your pocket or
purse is infected, you are not accomplishing much.

You sneeze with the mask on, those droplets ain’t goin as far as no mask.

But if they land on the counter in front of you or the apples, celery
or what ever, what difference does it make? You are not only spreading
your germs, you are spreading all the ones you vacuumed up in your
day.

The sneeze only covered the first row of apples, not the whole counter with
a mask.

You folks still keep assuming I am coughing or sneezing. If I was, I
would stay home.
"Asymptomatic" means you are not showing any signs of the illness,
like coughing or sneezing. If you are 6 feet away, you are also not
getting spit on when people talk.

The coughing or sneezing has to start somewhere. Be a shame if yours started
while looking at the checker in the store.

But that's not to say that your logic is faulty.

Well, maybe it is.
