It's not. You're still going to get it with masks and SD, it's a matter of time. Those don't increase your chances once you've got it. -- nm

that is also false. See: Israel. The combination of tools works. More importantly it means hospitals can handle the number of cases. -- nm - loosilu who Dec 21, 07:56
If this disease were all about me me me, then fine. But it's not, is it? If I have COVID and wear a mask, I am protecting others from getting it. -- nm - con_carne Dec 21, 07:56 3
- That's not the point. Of course wear a mask if you have COVID. But wearing a mask doesn't help you live once you have COVID and aren't vaxxed. -- nm - MDH Dec 21, 08:00 2
  - YOu can be a carrier without knowing, so yes, it matters if you ear it. -- nm - loosilu who Dec 21, 08:19
  - The point of wearing a mask once you have a disease is to protect others, not me. That's literally what I just said -- nm - con_carne Dec 21, 08:04
They do (somewhat) help you avoid getting it, but we're past that. Look at any Omicron data. -- nm - MDH Dec 21, 07:53 3
- We are definitely not past that. You're giving up and that attitude will kill people. -- nm - loosilu who Dec 21, 07:56 2
  - I mean we're past people not getting it at some point. We all are. Any thoughts otherwise are in a different unvierse. -- nm - MDH Dec 21, 08:01 1
    - And that's why it's so important to control the rate of infection so as not to overwhlem the system. -- nm - loosilu who Dec 21, 08:20
