With Covid-19 flying out of peoples faces when they sneeze or cough, a facial mask would be nice to use for people. Myself I would not like to be PKed in real life because of being lazy and inconciderate to my surroundings.
I have seen a couple of sites selling them in different colors and motives. In theory it would be nice to have a personal touch to them if this is going to be the standard in the future, but feels like they are making them with the lowest possible quality that IS approved by some regulations and highest possible price.

Do you use any facial masks to protect yourself and if so where did you buy them? Local or online?
Do you use top notch plastic surgeon masks or the cheaper ones that you throw in the dustbin after a few hours?
Do you use the wooly ones with 4-5 layers that is more comfortable and washable?

this is how I use my mask most of the times (and this is how most of the people here use it, at least where I live, I mean THE PEOPLE WHO CARRY it, because there are so many dumb people here in Brazil that doesn't even use one)


but my dream is to have one like this:

but then I'd rather stay home all day than using this

OKAY, NOW I'M BEING SERIOUS:

this is exactly the mask I use when going outside (I wear glasses too), its made of TNT and I throw it away after a few uses (maybe 3 days or so, depends on how dirty I think it may be), I like it because I can actually breathe without any difficulty, and also it contains a metal thing to "mold" to your nose form
and IMO, yes they don't protect any shit, I use it most likely to not spread my salive/particles or whatever its called, than to not breath infected particles

here in Brazil its very common for people to use handmade/self crafted masks made of clothing fabric, that they say its nice because it is washable and etc, but I dislike it because:

  • very hard to breathe
  • doesn't have that metal thing to mold it to your nose (specially needed if you wear glasses)

R: I do use masks in every place I go except when I go running my daily 5~8km/day. I bought some of them in local, and now I wash them every time I use them.

R: I have both of them, but I prefer the cheaper ones.

R: Nope. Like my Brazilian friend above, I use the style he mentioned before (the TNT mask).
 
jesus. the whole thing with the masks is bullshit same as this whole covid19. :x
do you guys really think these "paper" masks works?
 
Masks protect you from viruses like tents protect you from bears ...
it depends :D but yes, most of the masks people use nowadays doesn't protect from viruses (they don't even protect you from a fart LMAO)... but that is not an excuse to not use one

(as I stated on my post, I don't use it to be protected, but as a measure to protect others from my breath)
 
if you are in a crowd and use a mask and someone infected nearby without one coughs, you are right that the mask will not protect you. its useless.

If you have a mask on and doesnt know you are infected yet you will protect others.

scenario 1(this happend): One guy on a plane coughed and was infected without knowing it(before boarding the plane). They tested the 25 closest people to him after they landed(its on a plane so people sit tight) BUT Zero people out of 25 was infected because that mf was wearing a mask.

Scenario 2(according to scientist): If there is any number of people in a crowd and every single one of them use a mask but 1 person and this person have corona and no mask - you are right that the masks will mosy likely NOT help.

So basically if i were a mask when i go to my university its basicslly useless, cause i Live in Sweden and people just dont care. But anyway, what if i get it and then already use a mask? i dont give it to other people

Yep.

Masks and gloves are worn to reduce the risk of contamination from bacteria spread trough coughing and sneezing.
 
Too much inaccuracy revolves around this virus for me to believe it is real. Have you ever wondered how it is like to have an asymptomatic hangover? We dont even know whats these tests are detecting, I have had few friends that was „infected” while they didnt even know it - and guess what, people and their families with who they are living were clear ;p
 
Yes always. I do care about my health and actually about others health - since the mask I use (surgical one) protect others not me. Keep hands clean and try to avoid crowds.

I don't know if I should comment that :D

People back in the day thought electricity was black magic or it was a fake invention. People back in the day thought IHV was an invention and wans't real because they felt fine. People still believe Earth is Flat.

Free of speech doesn't mean you are allowed to spread just anything. Keep that for yoursef just incase it is real and your words can actually kill people.

Well. It is only my opinion, but people who believes in that crap can still believe in it.
Do you think everything that government says is true?
The answer is you don't have to be scientist to know what's true or not, you just need your own thinking (out of this shit system).
There are people in the world who are above everyone in this planet. Even those you may think are the most important ones.

All I am waiting for is to people finally wake up and say "no", at least once to the government :D

I don't even want to talk here as I see what people think about it. Maybe I am a bit different. Just never mind. You can continue to discuss which mask is better for you. I'm leaving this thread :D
STAY SAFE! :D

@marek12 I get that you feel people are blindly following the government without questioning, but imagine the chaos if everyone question everything just for the sake of doing so?
It will be like parenting little children that keep asking "WHY" to everything, and it becomes very exhausting very quickly.

But what you're not thinking is that there are still leaders who say the same thing as you, so in fact if we just move you from Poland to USA or Brazil, you would be one following government blindly... it doesn't seems so revolutionary now, right?

I know several people that got infected, some friends of mine even managed to infect their parents/grandparents by sneaking out without taking precautions. In other hand I also got friend that respected 5 month quarentine (YES, we are 5 months without flatening the curve, welcome to Brazil) and still got infected by deliveries (receiving groceries at home/through elevator).

So imagine how many people could have been protected with a mask or a glove, even that you may think they are useless, it's all a matter of using google to understand how those paper/fabric masks help. It's basically simple physics:
 
Masks aren't 100% efficient, specially those cheaper ones. But even in the video you can see that it somehow holds a little bit of the pressure, specially that he's blowing hard the smoke (which is denser);

That's why besides masks the proposal is to stay home, and a lot of alchool.
 
Yes, wear masks, stay at home, bathe in alcohol and stop living, just like the people from Wuhan in China where the "pandemic" started...

So what, they did their homework and have re-opened since April. They also have enough tests to cover the whole country, with power to test over 100k people per day. Can we say they are wrong?

It's a risk? Hell yeah. Can it be mitigated? Hell yeah.
