Doesn't the other person need to be closer than 6 feet to read that?

,,,,,. Mine has lettering on the front: "My mask protects YOU. YOUR mask protects me. WHERE IS IT??"
......
Except for the fact that the medical community is not unanimous. Our experts actually say that masks are not effective. They call it 'schijn veiligheid' or 'false sense of security'. As Dave points out, they only help if used correctly. I can attest to that. Used in a wrong way, it only enhances spreading the virus. In the best situation it is estimated here that a mask will prevent somwhere between 10 nd 40% of virus particals from reaching your nose or mouth. There is also no good scientific ground to conclude that it will reduce the transmission. It's never been researched properly. Meanwhile we will all use up masks that they need so badly in our hospitals, so I'm not in favour of everybody wearing them.Except you are conveniently ignoring two points...
1. The Surgeon General is appointed, and pushing the agenda of the administration.
2. Pretty much every medical expert that is not a so called "Facebook Expert" says to wear the masks because:
A. due to the high numbers of asymptomatic people, and not knowing who is sick and who isn't it will help lower the transmission of the disease.
B. Even if a mask is not 100% effective it lowers the risk of transmission, especially when multiple people are wearing it, because it protects the healthy person from the sick person.
But sure, lets ignore the medical community, and take the word of one who is obviously pushing a prescribed agenda.

One less thing to worry aboutGood stuff Karl
"WTF? Sounds like hocus-pocus to ME! If it doesn't protect ME, WHY TF WEAR IT, and look like a F_ _ _ING DORK??"It amazes me how people don't seem to grasp something so simple, that or choose to simply ignore it.
BOLD BLOCK CAPITAL LETTERS on the mask and cloth splashguard attached below it.Doesn't the other person need to be closer than 6 feet to read that?

And wear one if you have an ingrained habit of touching your face for any reasons as it keeps your fingers off your skin
Exactly how I feel about airport security, I just tell them I havnt a bomb or gun and they say "have a nice flight sir" and wave me through."WTF? Sounds like hocus-pocus to ME! If it doesn't protect ME, WHY TF WEAR IT, and look like a F_ _ _ING DORK??"
A few years ago I was flying from PG to Vancouver and went through security. My pockets were emptied and my luggage checked. As I went by the security guard I asked him, "What about a cavity check?" He looked confused and said, "Wut?" I said, "I really want one." He said, "Not on my watch buddy"Exactly how I feel about airport security, I just tell them I havnt a bomb or gun and they say "have a nice flight sir" and wave me through.
Try that in Europe and you will probably get one, or at least an interview long enough to screw up your whole trip.A few years ago I was flying from PG to Vancouver and went through security.

My last trip to PNG, I got explosives tested every airport I went through - both directions.When we were flying back security took my son aside, I'm assuming for a drug check. After I had been processed and went through he was already there waiting for me. I asked him how long he had been waiting for me and he said about 15 min. Next time I'm claiming drugs.............
