TempletonFerrariThe3rd
The article fails to mention that the %80 in the study's computer model also practiced social distancing which works better than masks
TempletonFerrariThe3rd
And their assumptions include expecting the masks to provide 70% blocking of all virus particles (inhale and exhale). No masks, especially
TempletonFerrariThe3rd
Not homemade masks, provide that sort of protection. N95 only filter inhale and surgical masks only filter exhale. You'd have to wear both
TempletonFerrariThe3rd
To achieve what the study calls for you'd have to wear 2 medical grade masks, one over the other
VikingZoidberg
Yeah here in Norway poeple don't wear masks. Reccomended that people not use them, because most will not use them correctly...
VikingZoidberg
...touch their face more etc. which makes them pointless and wasting resources, or even contribute to more spreading the virus more...
VikingZoidberg
...the focus here has been on more effective means on stopping the spread
sureasyourebornyourenevergoingtoseenounicorn
It’s gotta be an interesting break down by state. I’m in Vermont and in stores and things I see maybe 2 people not wearing masks.
DogsandPandas
And by city too. Where I live its required that all employees and patrons have a mask on. I’m sure other cities don’t enforce that.
DogsandPandas
The business also has to have a designated person monitoring masks are on and social distancing or could lose their license.
makeiteasykeepitsleazy
TN mask usage plummeted recently. In my recent grocery trips at least 60% of shoppers weren’t wearing masks.
makeiteasykeepitsleazy
It’s like when the state opened up people took it as the all clear. I just passed the mall and it’s hopping.
TempletonFerrariThe3rd
Does anyone have the source study?
TempletonFerrariThe3rd
Found the link in the vanity Fair article. The article itself left out that the study included social distancing and their assumptions
TempletonFerrariThe3rd
On how good masks work are extremely optimistic when compared to other recent studies. (70% blockage of both inhaled and exhaled particles)
TempletonFerrariThe3rd
The only way to get that high of blockage of both inhaled and exhaled particles is to wear an N95 AND and surgical mask at the same time.

Term limits would just empower. When you habitually remove the people who know how anything works the newcomers need advice from SOMEWHERE.
psychologisttheologist
Part of the problem is that we don't like how things work at the moment anyway. New people might behave differently. Also, incumbency is a
psychologisttheologist
Very difficult thing to overcome, almost guaranteeing reelection. If there are term limits, people are less motivated to pander to the base
psychologisttheologist
For reelection and are more willing to act on principle in bipartisan ways. There was a time when people routinely voted across party lines.
rainehdaze
If you weaken the power of an elected position (via lack of experience, networks, a record etc.) then unelected positions get stronger to1/2
rainehdaze
compensate. Far from increasing democratic choice (because in many places the party vote is too strong anyway) it weakens democracy.
psychologisttheologist
Frankly I think decisions should be made by those closest to the consequences. The more local, the better. I don't mind weakening the power
digitiliad
So don't remove the people who are definitely influenced because new people might be influenced.
rainehdaze
And don't forget that because they're term limited they're ALSO even more open to becoming lobbyists or finding short term gains
rainehdaze
WILL be influenced. And susceptible, because they have no experience. Which they have to get from sources that have no limits: lobbyists
digitiliad
No, it's still "might". You're still arguing that things that already happen are the primary reason we shouldn't change, just assuming
digitiliad
they'll happen more without any basis for the assumption.

Completely understand! Thanks for trying though! No /s meant. Thank you for trying to keep _everyone_ safe and hopefully allowing their own
MrTay
I got them in time luckily but a lot didn’t and can’t. I think more people will use them when they become fashionable and available
Wootnessmonster
I don't think compliance will increase until it becomes a requirement as availability (hopefully) increases unfortunately
Wootnessmonster
And bad face coverings abound you can spot them covering for the convenience

in order to go into my store or me to go to a vendor you must wear a mask. I think that’s going to be the requirement when more open. 1/

steve9001
Don't understand the no selling seeds there. Can't figure how that's connected to covid.
Illithidbane
People are taking the downtime to do gardening and they're walking around in stores looking for supplies. It's nonessential shopping.
Amtherion
It's because masks are common sense. One way aisles are just health "theater". Going 20 feet up an aisle for something is less exposure
Amtherion
Than going 50 ft up a different aisle to go 30ft back down the right one. 20ft vs 80ft and the number of extra people you might encounter.
Illithidbane
The idea is that it prevents people walking past each other in narrow aisles. It helps with distancing... which shoppers also ignored.
Amtherion
I get the idea, but everything says 6ft for 10-15 minutes is what close contact counts as. So in general I want in/out as fast as possible.
Amtherion
Passing another person in either direction or someone taking 5 minutes to decide which Ragu they want is only about 5-10 seconds.
