Meme Dump dissenting opinion thread

SoreShoulder
There are two different posts in the Meme Dump Thread showing a painter and a drywall worker who had been wearing surgical masks and still got their face covered with paint or drywall plaster dust.  

First of all, no one works in a Covid-19 virus spray booth.  No one is saturated with the virus the way those two were.  What happened is their masks filled up and then the air started mostly bypassing the mask and going in around the nose and other small gaps.  That's not going to happen with the virus.  The surgical masks may only catch a percentage of incoming particles, but that still increases your chances of not getting ill if you walk past an infected person.

Second of all, the main reason for them is to stop the wearer from spraying infectious droplets.  If those guys had a mouth full of paint or drywall dust, and they coughed, the mask would catch most of it.

    Thanks for the explanations and most of all your duty, Mark and Joe. I understand completely. (I was a super-mod on a now-moribund board.)

    Speaking of mods, administrators, and owners etc on Internet forums. Do any of you all remember a guy that went by the name Para on the old S&W forum? He had an eagle as his Avatar? I always thought well of that guy. That group on the old S&W forum were a good bunch of guys. Who ever it was that took over that forum when Para left was a real jackass. I posted a picture of obama in his witch doctor outfit during the obama care ordeal and got banned for it. Evidently he was a flaming liberal.

    The double standard of what is acceptable on the forums vs what is OK on the auction side has been around for ages.

    I’m disappointed but not surprised.

    It is too bad that members were lost because they weren't on the auction side. Why not just sign up there to be able to remain here? Nobody has to buy or sell. Just my two cents.
