"It is not true that masks cause hypoxia. This hoax is now viral and dangerous"

Haven't heard this one yet.

masks won't stop you from getting sick...that is the first hoax they need to debunk

I don't think any reputable source has suggested wearing one will protect you from others. You wearing your mask is to protect me and others around you from getting the virus from YOU!!!! Hmmm.... I wonder if you not wearing a mask when you are infected and infecting me would be considered a crime or the basis for a lawsuit??

If you are at risk (or scared), then don't go out. You quarantine the sick, not the healthy. (Although you get an A+ in modern thinking. SUE!! SUE!!! SUE!!!!!!)

If face masks worked so well. Then the virus would have not spread from a country where they have been wearing face masks for years due to high pollution not viruses. Also scientists wouldn't need a complete boiler suit when working on viruses in labs.

at best the face masks john & jane q. public wear will mitigate the spread when physical distance ca n NOT be maintained. they will in no way STOP the spread

Who is NOT 'at risk'?

If you were healthy, you would not be a risk to others. Your excuse will be "but I didn't know". It is like requiring you to have insurance on your car; it isn't to protect you but to force you to take responsibility for your actions that affect others.

thanks for sharing have not heard that either ...

I do believe face masks help and washing your hands ...

have you heard about the people.... who can carry the virus unknowingly and may spread to others ... that is like having aids and knowing your going to die... so lets take a lot of people out with me ... use as revenge ... now I have felt that was not a good thing to do ... but people under a lot of stress... have heard they have down that yrs ago ... what if i was a carrier and did not know it ... do you think if i did not wear a mask I might put someone in harms way ... and not know that ... should I care ... and just go on my merry way ... personally I think that is selfish ... but that is just me ... becouse I care not to hurt anyone ... this virus has not stopped and states are going through the worse now ... and others are right... gonna get it ....ya gonna get it ... but as it is... better safe then sorry ...
my opinion... but would not be my first choice ...of killing myself...

I think they ruled out the lawsuit thing ...

maybe that is why people get upset ... when they need to wear a mask ...

they don't care about you ... and seems like they say... i don't have anything wrong with me... u are the problem... not me ... with a attitude ... well kinda s*cks when we have a President ...that does not care about anyone but himself and gets tested ever
day ... but his supporters dont get tested every day and they are more apt to catch covid 19... all I know it S*cks for everyone ... from one end to the other...

Masks help the spread of Covid 19.

Many Young people are getting the virus because they are not wearing masks Or social distancing.

Several States now have thousands cases ongoing. That's a Fact.

this is not true...
Many Young people are getting the virus because they are not wearing masks.

wearing a mask will not protect you!!!!!

wearing a mask will at best prevent you from giving the disease to other people!!!!

Medical Doctors disagree Eric.

You left out Distancing too.

Definitely Facts .

Another fact, some think, they can ignore social distancing, because they wear a mask

Plus, some wear them all day. But after 3 hours, they are dirty and have to be replaced.

distancing is the best that's why i did not comment on it.

I'm certainly relieved, that my Crash Bandicoot
Halloween mask, is working out for
the benefit of public safety.

Larsi ...what type of mask are you referring to as being effective for 3 hours ??? Effective in what way ???

Fact check ....

always check the source of any information on the internet for validity . There is still a lot of misinformation circulating
