Masks obviously aren't working well, are they? Even though number of "cases" is basically meaningless, you could argue if masks were effective why are cases rising? In the end, we can't control every illness, etc. Lock ourselves away. It's just silly. I'd even argue masks are making things worse. The medical industry is a big failure.

Love the assumption. I wear a mask as it’s supposed to be worn. I simply don’t believe with the recent cases that it’s affective, or there wouldn’t be so many.

Evidence plain and simple, did you read it? Masks are effective if worn properly. Its not a debate, its a fact.


And yes, I just linked multiple, credible sources proving masking's effectiveness, yet you dismiss it as if I was telling you the world is round instead of being flat.

Yep, read it. I still don’t see anything where people all of a sudden started wearing them differently, causing the rise in cases? There’s obviously no way the entire country just did that.

Anecdotal evidence proves absolutely nothing. How about this?


I see lots of people wearing them wrong, and it is causing a rise in cases. There prove me wrong.

I asked why if they work, there’s so many cases? I still haven’t seen a valid answer, just deflection due to your anecdotal experience.

It is pointless to argue with those committed to misunderstanding you.

People have been wearing masks for months. They’re still wearing them, so why are there all of a sudden so many cases?

“you could argue if masks were effective why are cases rising?”. My exact thought/question, and in addition to that, people have been wearing masks for months. Why all of a sudden are there so many cases?

Trump man bemoaning name calling. LM..CLASSY AO

And when people continuously refuse over and over to not comply with wearing masks, socially distance because they think the worst is over including thousands and thousands at recent Trump rallies, Senate floor the other day, PA and Michigan state House republicans, the plumber who came to work at my house the other day , I could go on and on...things are going to get worse. I read months ago that we were at risk for a resurgence in the Fall..guess I read difference materials than you.

I pop on here literally once every 4-5 months and the same couple people are saying the same things. Sad..board used to offer good insight on the area. Now I’m off again..because I do have a life.

Because Trump is always great deflection.

People have been wearing masks for months. How does this answer why all of a sudden the cases?
