Eddie Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 9 minutes ago, Andicis said: Fair points. I do think though the impact they have on social distancing makes them less effective though. This is the one thing that continually exasperates me. Why on earth does it have to boil down to being an 'either/or' situation? Why should it have any effect on social distancing? I wear hearing aids and spectacles (so my ears are already full), yet on the few occasions I have cause to go out (5 or 6 times in 6 months) I wear a mask, sanitise and maintain social distancing at all times. My glasses fog up if I don't have them positioned just right, I cannot lip-read (because there are no lips to see) - is it too much for me to expect others to do so? Surely we should all be doing whatever we can whenever we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad. It would appear that masks are effective, and social distancing is effective, so together they should be doubly effective. But the habits of our population are such that we aren't prepared to follow instruction and do it right, so we negatively impact the potential effectiveness. I do think the lack of any obvious consequence of not following the rules (or lets say minimal enforcement) does nothing to encourage people to adhere to the mask-plus-distancing instructions.

I do think though the impact they have on social distancing makes them less effective though. There was a peer-reviewed scientifc journal arcticle posted a couple of weeks back that said masks are shown to lessen the viral load (both inwards and outwards), and therefore make it easier for your immune system to fight the infection. The overwhelming evidence showed level of viral load at diagnosis was the key mortality indicator. I'll keep wearing a mask thanks, and so should everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
