      You'd be a fool to think so.

      Many studies have been carried out in the past with regard to masks and the influenza virus, and ALL of the studies found the same result of Masks being ineffective at stopping the passage of the Flu Virus. And as we all know, the Flu virus is 2 - 3 times Larger than the coronavirus. With that being said, and with a little common sense, you can decipher that masks will have NO EFFECT on the Chinese Coronavirus, and that has only been further proven by the data coming out recently, that spread of the virus was virtually the same in states that had mask mandates as states that didn't.

      So, we can conclude that Fauci was Flat-out lying about masks!
      If he was really any kind of "expert", he would simply have to look at all the studies that have been done (some by his institute even!), and he would have been able to make the easy determination that masks would be useless against such a small virus.

      Coronavirus = 40nm - 120nm
      N95 masks block out particles that are around 300nm.

      Easy conclusion......N95 won't stop the coronavirus! Period!


      Face Mask Use and Control of Respiratory Virus Transmission in Households - Volume 15, Number 2—February 2009 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC - CDC study from 2009 that found masks to be ineffective at stopping respiratory viruses.

      Can surgical masks protect you from getting the flu?

      Is that why there wasn't a flu season this year? Stop believing that crap, open your eyes and look around

          All it took was a pandemic for Fauci to learn whether or not masks work. I hope that I don't need to have a heart attack for a heart doctor to learn about heart surgery.

            Maybe you should get a Network Certification before working on clients servers.

            Hopefully you got factory training and support for your copiers you support?

                My theory on masks is if you can smell anything at all through the mask then it absolutely won't work against this virus or most others. Can you smell bacon cooking through the mask? Then it won't work!! Pretty simple. I have a welding mask that is N100 and I can't smell a thing when wearing it, so it would work but also look ridiculous. Besides, I'm done with the whole mask thing unless I have to wear one to enter a medical facility around here (required to even enter the building) or some of the offices that still require them here when I have to service their copier.
                Started in the copier service business in the fall of 1988 and worked at the same company for 33.5 years, becoming the senior tech in 2004 but left to pursue another career on 4/29/22.

                  I sold them the server and I set it up from start to finish and deposited the check in my bank.

                  What cert do you suggest that I get?

                      My theory on masks is if there is normally a flu season when people are not wearing a mask and then there is NOT a flu season when most people ARE wearing masks they must work.

                        Good thing that it worked for the flu because it damn sure didn't work for covid.

                          Well, I guess there is no real way of knowing this. We can't go back and not wear masks and find out.

                            I was simply using your logic. You said there was no flu season. But there was a covid season.

                                Here's your logic:

                                Example a: No flu season = masks worked.

                                Example b: Massive rise in covid = masks worked.


                                That's what I like to call LIBERAL LOGIC.
