No saying that people wearing a mask is doing it for attention. Just that if you had to pick, the guy that's 1 in 400 is a more likely candidate for "attention seeker" than the other 399.
That depends if the other 399 are from the same mold.  :)

Yes but after listening to the experts, evidence out there and among other things came to the conclusion they are wrong.
Now the results will be drastically different depending if one group is wrong over the other. You are willing to bet lives on it, I am not!!!

People need to realize that 140k dead means we did something wrong for the last 4 months, not that we should keep doing it and say how important it is.
We agree on that.
What we did wrong is not SD and wearing masks. Then that is compounded by not following the guidelines for opening up. Now those states that opened up to soon are paying a deep price with lives lost.

You missed the whole point. There is no reason to risk lives over not wearing masks.

Name one. Name one doctor who disputes that masks are effective at preventing transmission from an infected COVID patient.

There are many reasons why a specific doctor wouldn’t be wearing a mask under specific circumstances- he may have antibodies and feel they’re effective, he may be in a place that is known not to be currently infected, etc. Did she ask?
Most countries in Europe and Asia managed to completely crush the curve and have prevented any resurgences. That is *without* losing many lives, some with barely any. Do you not know this? Do you need specific examples? I can easily name 10.
I don't have any offhand, but I've come across many, if you wanna doubt me, have fun.
So which country in Europe prevented an out spread, and has reopened?

Anyone who panics from seeing masks needs some Xanax quick and a follow up because it won't be enough.
Panic doesn't mean panic attack. Classic strawman.

The whole EU is doing ten times better than the US at this point. Just look at any graph.

It’s very generous of you to assume that he was sincerely asking if the attention was a deterrent but if you followed his posts in this conversation and that of the other thread it appears more likely that he was heckling him for wearing a mask as in “You’re acting up because enjoy the attention”?
Didn't follow the other threads.

If true
, that’s disrespectful, naive, and wrong.
So all the name calling cuz... maybe?...
Now it was immoral for him to wear a mask... you’re doing great.  ::)
He's saying the law is immoral, not the guy doing it. The way some qoutes are getting twisted is making CV look innocent.

Since this thread has gone to hell, I'm just going to leave this here...

Florida has seen over 244,500 NEW confirmed cases in the last 30 days. The biggest driver of that has been the very large anti-mask demographic. As a result, FL is looking at a minimum of 3000 deaths in the 30 days, and very possibly over 10,000. But don't worry, this whole thing is a hoax, and doctors lie. We need to be wearing tinfoil hats, not masks.

You can save this comment so I can eat crow on Aug 17. Don't think I'll have to, though.

5G, man! It's all about them waves!
New York had 10k in under 10 days. Look at percent positive, don't twist numbers in your favor. As long as there is room in the hospital get it over with, no one beat it, and there is no path to beating it yet.

States that locked up with no cases, and opened up with no cases wasted everyone lives. You need cases, lock down to slow the spread to keep the hospitals with room, and reopen at a rate which you can keep the infection rate under 1, that's all.

At this point, genius, they past their peak we didn't, the tristate area that did were severely botched by their governors.

https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/329438/9789241516839-eng.pdf?ua=1
That study is an eye opener.
Besides for the mask thing... they "dont reccomend quarantine of exposed individuals under any circumstances "

Do you understand that they now recommend wearing masks as part as a comprehensive attack against this virus. So will you follow the recommendation from what you consider a reliable source?

So understand that if someone gets fearful from a mask, it doesn't mean it's a panic attack, or they won't be able to sleep, it just gives a sour message.

You haven’t come across any. If there were any they should be fairly easy to find. There have been links to and names of dozens of doctors agreeing that they work posted here and many peer-reviewed studies showing that they work posted as as well.

Please don’t misrepresent your personal views as backed by any science or medicine. If there was even a shred of evidence against it the alt-right sites would be all over them. There’s a reason even Trump started wearing a mask and Republican governors have begun to mandate them.

Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Hungary, Austria, Portugal, Germany, Greece, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand. Enough?

All have suffered less than 1/10th of the death toll per capita of NY/NJ, with many suffering less than 1/50th. All have suffered less than 1/4 of the death toll per capita of the entire US already (and unfortunately the US is heading in the wrong direction). All have slowed the spread to barely a trickle and mostly reopened their countries, albeit with some restrictions (like masks!).
