Are...are you serious? Someone's in a car by themselves driving around with this thing strapped to their kisser, and your concern is whether it's the thing that does jack shit, or the thing that does diddly squat?
No. If you are wearing ANY kind of mask in your car you are a retard.
Living in a face diaper state and working in a field that STILL REQUIRES THE FUCKING...sorry, it just slips out sometimes. Anyway, sometimes you just get used to the discomfort of the fucking thing, and in your rush to get gone after a shift, just forget that the stupid thing is still on your face.
So, I personally don't necessarily tar everyone with the same "dumb fuckface still thinks coof is a serious threat" brush; it could just be a legitimate fuck up, not a political statement.
This is why I prefaced it by explaining that mask use is extremely rare here and has been for a long time. It is most certainly a sign of a person who is living in the alternate reality game provided by their television and phone, and not by any reasonable observation of the world as it is.
Beyond that, wearing a cloth napkin on your face is absurd, and always has been. One of the more troubling transformations--I would argue, on the level of post-9/11 disorderings--was the widespread acceptance of such a blatantly ridiculous ritual, in such a brief timespan. The marching orders were rolled out, accepted, then made mandatory in many places in short order.
In motherfucking America. The United States. Fucking Americans from coast to coast gleefully cheered on Government mandates to strap napkins on faces, including those of children. For years. Like I said, troubling, deeply troubling.
The N95 in their car just shows fear and ignorance. A N95 in general shows they don't understand the mechanics of airborne viruses.
N95s are for particles. Small particles, like dust, but particles nonetheless. Doesn't stop anything airborne, doesn't stop moisture and in fact wicks moisture.
Epidemiological studies prior to 2020 consistently showed no effectiveness of a mask as prophylaxis for disease pathogens. For the same reason that condoms are oft cited as being only 99% effective. It's a fucking plastic barrier--it should be 100% effective, period, right? Except that with condoms or masks, it comes down to iterations, to use over time. There is no demonstrated benefit over time, or as a policy, of using masks to prevent airborne disease.
After 2020, of course, the "exshperts" started saying "New England Journal of Medicine? Never heard of it," and started using engineering studies instead of epidemiological ones to tout the effectiveness of face-diapers to stop the coofs.
The funny thing is almost all mask studies since 2020 have shown the same results as all mask studies for the past century. The only thing that has changed is the conclusion section.
