“I absolutely love this mask. I wore it on 3 different flights and all throughout the airports and could breathe great the whole time
I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on it too. It’s super comfortable, and I wear it every time I’m asked to wear a mask.”

Nothing will beat cutting a hole in a disposable mask.

I'd take the top style. The sheer is a little too obvious. I want to at least appear to be playing along.

There has never been a reason to be spiteful about the mask situation.

TBH, i thought about doing this, but less obvious
If you could have a mask that looked like a mask but was more breathable, that shit would sell out in minutes.

For the life of me I cannot understand how people are so vehemently opposed to
wearing a mask in public. Even if it turns out that the benefits of wearing them were
only minimal the only sacrifice we would have had to make would be wearing a piece
of cloth in front of your face for a couple of months.
And the argument that it's hard to breath through a surgical mask is asinine. There are
people out there who have to wear even more restrictive face gear every single day
and you never hear them complain about it.

I can't understand people who can't understand why people don't understand why they have to wear a mask in some place and observe social distancing, but in other places it's a fucking free-for-all.
And it is genuinely affecting my lung capacity, even when i'm out of the mask

Though i have to admit. Hand sani and keeping shopping carts clean and such makes a big impact on not getting sick i mean i havent had a cold or anything forever.If face masks that you can smell your own fart through did anything we would have been wearing them for decades to stop common cold and flu
Masks are a joke you can wipe your ass with but keeping your hands kleen make a big difference

Mask don’t limit oxygen,
People can use a pulse oximeter and check the values.
Also, that logic say every doctor have brain damage. doing an operation without a mask lol

John actually touched on doctors wearing masks. They apparently have a shorter life.
I haven't verified that myself.

No.
There's been only one study that shows that masks drop your oxygen saturation, a poorly conducted study where the control group was performing significantly less strenuous and shorter operations than the masked treatment group. Even in that, oxygen saturation only dropped 1% after a 3 hour operation. That is clinically insignificant, and more likely to be caused by the duration/stress of the operation than the mask (the unmasked control group also had a drop in oxygen saturation, but their operations were significantly less complex and limited to 30 minutes).
Quick google search shows that is not the case:
Mortality rates and causes among U.S. physicians - PubMed
These findings should help to erase the myth of the unhealthy doctor. At least for men, mortality outcomes suggest that physicians make healthy personal choices.

Your link above just shows that subjects found surgical face masks more comfortable than N95 masks. What exactly do you think it proves?

Those masks are about as dumb as the people that yank their masks down under their nose. The hell is the point of wearing a damn mask if you're going to be purposefully obtuse about it?

Depending on where one lives, they can be denied services if they don't wear them. It's mandatory by law for me to wear them in indoor public spaces. So some people just do not have the choice to just not wear them in order to get services they need.

And now post studies about the effects of COVID-19, retard.
This is the only reason they want us wearing masks. A constant reminder that things aren't normal.

I don't want to be forced to do shit that doesn't work (and masks don't work - period). If it's all for show, then let me choose what I want to do.

I mean: masks+soap+distance has proven to be quite effective. Ask the rest of the world.
The problem with this line of thinking is that, we're on the same boat, but it's not your right to keep drilling a hole while others try to throw the water away.
Your freedom is sacred, and my freedom is, too. That's the thing: my freedom ends where your freedom starts. And viceversa.
Also, again, this is a "casual mode" pandemic. Play games all day and wear a mask out. Couldn't be easier than this.

No, masks are not effective. It's all bullshit, for show. That's why they were not recommended at first, and why in some countries they're still not mandating them, including Sweden, which by the way continues to have declining case counts while mask tyrant states like Spain are currently in the midst of a new explosion in cases.
Six Madrid cops wrestle woman as they arrest her for not wearing mask
The unidentified woman was seized in the Spanish capital on Saturday during protests by hundreds of coronavirus deniers.
"my freedom ends where your freedom begins" is tyrant logic, as you can draw a million lines from me to you and you are handing the government the power to regulate all of that. I am not saying that I have the right to go spit or cough in your face or cough in your face or whatever, that is a violation of personal space, but come on, we live in a society. Let's be reasonable here. Infectious diseases are part of society. I don't hold it against anyone if I get sick during flu season. Nobody is actively trying to transmit viruses, the reason they get transmitted is because that is what billions of years of evolution have given them the tools to do.

If you are infected and you cough, the mask catches it.
If you don't have it and someone coughs near you a mask will diminish the amount inhaled, reducing the chance of it taking hold before the immune system takes care of it.
Demonstrable and repeatable.
You can quote Sweden all you like, but it ignores the idiosyncrasies of that country in favour of painting it as a magical country where they won by using their freedoms.
Distancing > masks, which is why you don't see concerts with masks. Sweden went without, with mixed results. Other places aren't Sweden, and masks are more necessary. Refusing to wear one usually either comes with a denial of science or the word "Freedom".
It's so simple. Stay away when you can, mask for when you can't.

Basically, Sweden is a lower-density population with a culture of not being in each others' face among other differences.https://qz.com/1842183/sweden-is-taking-a-very-different-approach-to-covid-19/ said:

What about athletes who train at higher altitudes and get a boost or Kenyan runners who have exceptional lung capacity?

Yes he said apparently they all die of lung implosions and their brains melting in their 20s.
