Fahrenheit 451 Predicted People Would Demand Tyranny

[Marine Cpl]

All the evidence you show relates to the immediate distance the "droplets" of unspecified size travel.

None of it addresses the *eventual* area they cover, which is the only thing that matters.

And that’s where distance comes into play. Look. I’m not dealing here with an idiot who doesn’t know basic science or biology like some here. You know that if you maintain a distance from an infected person who’s wearing a mask that limits his aerosol and droplet distance and you are a distance away from him yourself, it’s the difference of being infected or not. But you act as if it isn’t.

Stop being disingenuous.

F-415 was a great read .. i read it back in the the late 80's ..

And you act like people are static and don't move.

You can stay 6 feet away from a person and still occupy the exact same spot they were in 3 seconds before.

You also act like diffusion isn't a thing. Just because the droplets don't travel 6 feet in the first 3 seconds doesn’t mean they don’t get there 20 seconds later.

All the evidence you reference makes assumptions that just don’t hold up in the real world.

And you *still* won't commit to a size range for your droplets. Do you just have no idea ? Do you realize than once you do it will be easy to demonstrate that they don’t possess *all* the properties you ascribe to them ?

And you act like people always move right into the droplet path. No one ever walks by another feet away. They always walk into the droplet path. When you are in aisle 4 and you cough, the person at the end of the aisle 4 ft away will turn right around and come hug you.

And regarding the droplet path, you act like viral load isn’t a contributing factor. If you get x amount, it’s an automatic infection just the same as x times 20 more. All the same.

Yeah. All those droplets leave the mask. All of them. Is that what you are saying?

And regarding numbers, you do realize that a Google search will produce the sizes of various droplet sizes. It will produce the ones that are so small that stay suspended for extended periods of time. What is your point?

My point is that the masks most people wear are only possibly effective under very specific circumstances.

That in the real world there are so many factors that defeat them as to make them useless.

How beneficial does a mask have to be to bother with ?

If it just gives you a 5% lower chance of infection in 1% of your encounters with an infected person, why bother ?

If you were going to wear body armor, would you wear a 2" circle of ar500 that only covered vitals if the attacker was firing from a balcony on your left ?

If it's worth wearing a mask for, then you wear a real respirator. If you can’t be bothered with a real respirator and the proper disinfection protocol every time you take it off, then you're not serious about the mask wearing and are just virtue signalling.

I’m not sure where you get your numbers from as far as percentage of mask effectiveness goes but numbers are just numbers. If I do not get infected because I wore a mask and an infected also wore a mask and I stayed distance away from him and didn’t get infected, it’s a 100 percent chance that I will not infect my wife or my coworker who will in turn not infect his wife who will in turn affect their 80 year old parents?

Or should we go by your numbers and just not wear one, remain close to infected, and infect those around us who will in turn infect those around them and so on and so? Or should we try to do our best and not get infected?

You aren’t making any sense dude. Under your logic, doctors and hospital staff shouldn’t wear anything. Fuck it. Let’s all get infected. Let Dr. Jones in surgery get infected so that he can infect the heart transplant patient.

Let all the people in the waiting room get infected so that they can infect the little old lady who came in for knee pain.

Let’s all make it to where it’s the maximum percentage of likelihood for infection. No reduction whatsoever.

If you're so worried, why don't you wear a better mask ?

There are far better options than what you do wear. The mask you are wearing is symbolic only.

Every argument you're making could just as easily be made by someone wearing a real mask about the shitty one you wear.

Bottom line is that you have chosen something with very limited functionality because you can’t be bothered to wear something effective.

I choose not to delude myself. I will either wear a real working respirator, or I will acknowledge that the mask protects me from human harassment only and does nothing for the virus.

If I was going to wear a mask for protection from thr virus, it would be something like this:

3M 6000 Series Full Face Respirator, Gray

Stay safe with the 3M 6000 Series Full Face Respirator, offering reliable protection and comfort. Shop at Enviro Safety Products for quality safety gear.

And I would follow a careful protocol when removing it.

You don’t wear one of those and you don’t follow a proper protocol, so don’t pretend you care anymore about grandma than I do.

I'm frankly impressed you guys can still debate masks for this long in so many threads.

Here we go again with some particular members who thinks they are now not only an infectious disease experts, but a biological transmission experts and to add icing on the cake, are a respiratory filtering media experts!

I'm laughing every time I read the dribble!

Anyways...

I'll regress to the earlier posts, whereas it is a problem when the State Executive Branch of Gov't, believes they have a right to issue edicts and decrees beyond the legislature and in effect, seize powers not belonging to them! The sorry state of affairs then is that the masses, or general public which includes commercial enterprise, interpret this as the "LAW" when it is not!

Being "Told" or "Ordered" to do something, certainly isn't the same as being asked or informed!

Freedom of choice of action is an entirely different and separate conversation!

Back to the Gov't... So for a funny little label "SAFETY" we see the govt take powers not belonging to it. Those of us exercising ng our 2A Rights here in NY have seen this shit show before! So, largely ignored, and then after dipping their toes in the water with seeing no major public resistance, they jump full in the pool and get crazy! Insane even...

And it's all a cluster fuck! No major protocols issued, still even for schools, each doing their own thing, their own programs. Private schools, public schools, colleges, etc., then throw in businesses, essential businesses and workers! There is absolutely no consistency across the divide!

So yeah, you want to argue about the effectiveness of masks, how obtuse to the problem!

There you go again turning this into a mask to protect the individual user when that’s not what’s being discussed here.

You are being disingenuous there buddy.

It may be the biggest reason so many members are not posting these days.

A couple/few on the forum turn nearly all threads into a droplet/mask conversation.

Can't get away from the discussion. Click on a title that seems interesting, start to read and scroll, and BAM! Masks and droplets.

That usually happens when someone brings it up. It started on this thread with post #2.

We should have a sticky perma epic mask thread at the top and any time masks are mentioned they are verboten in all threads but just a link to the master sticky thread on masks.

 

[Cooolone]

How about a 72hr BAN if you debate masks at all... Is fucking tiring bullshit! Like infants who won't let go of their little nunnie!!! Point, counter point, counter counter point, etc... Has all been said, what ever needed to be said, is said, and said again!

As much as I hate telling people what to do, if you feel the compulsion to discuss masks, recuse yourself and go smack your dick in a falling toilet seat cover! Maybe that'll give you the same joy you get from that BS!

Have a great and wonderful day!

Or ban members that consistently turn these good conversations into droplets and masks.

The OP here, it is about masks, kind of but not really. The OP references similarities between the story, 451 and current conditions being pushed by the Government and the effects this push has on the Citizens.

It is getting old real fast the twisting of every thread into droplets and usefulness of masks.
