Why does every government say it's not necessary to wear any kind of mask since they are useless and won't help us in...

>Full face mask including goggles protects you perfectly.
Lolno.

It's just that you're assuming government is there to protect and take care of the people. This makes you not understand their argumentation regarding the masks.
Government is there to protect and take care of the government. It gives 0 fucks about people. Therefore, telling people wearing masks does nothing might appear to be a better strategy by the government if it keeps the state in one peace without panic a bit longer.

>Condom won't protect you from shit

>the mask only helps if you already have the infection so you don't infect others
But thats exactly why people should wear them though, or atleast cover their mouth and nose with whatever.
Lots of people never even develop symptoms and those that do can develop them after 2 weeks but during that time still keep infecting others.

- It helps preventing airborne contamination (yes, it DOES, do not listen to west european nonsense), just like gloves help keeping your hands clean. The chances to get infected via breathing the virus are slim ; with an appropriate mask they are nonexistent. Using an FFP2 mask is useful.

And even if it didn't help keeping yourself safe (it does), it would at the very least keep everyone around you safe. You may be an asymptomatic carrier and you would not know it. You may be a danger to healthy people : wearing a mask reduces your contamination factor.

There are ZERO reasons not to wear one, NONE. No downsides whatsoever.

Actually yes there is one : governments are fucking trash at managing stocks and don't have enough for everyone. Doctors and nurses need them en masse, and even they are given the finger.

Bottom line : if you have any, use them.

This was floating around earlier and probably legit. I think it tells you all you need to know. (According to the study, the guy who got on 30min later after the spreader had left the bus and still got infected got it from the air, not the surfaces.)

they want them for medical workers.
they keep nurses/doctors from breathing shit on you and making things worse.

mask might keep you from breathing the virus in but it wont keep you from touching your face.

even your dentist wears a mask so he doesnt breath his/her germs into your mouth giving you an infection.

they keep the people helping you from making things worse.

theyre not re-useable

It's a mixture of things. On one hand production and supply lines for masks have been fucked since mid January, most public health institutions have been woefully understocked by orders of magnitude in terms of supplies for mass casualty events (pandemics included) and effectively zero on the ground healthcare staff have any sort of emergency stash of PPE for themselves in the event that their employer stops supplying to them. On the other most of those surgical masks do not form any kind of remotely reliable inbound seal, let alone a barrier for your eyes or ear canals, and so in the event of an airborne virus (of which covid19 certainly appears to be) all they're really good for is catching outbound vapor and spittle coming from the wearer. They're not entirely lying when they say surgical masks won't save YOU from the virus. The retards wearing reed valve vented n95 jobsite masks are the worst of all because they don't act as an effective barrier in either direction, but that's another subject.

When it comes down to it the honest pragmatic motivation behind the lie is that for the vast vast majority of people, more than 99%, they lack the foresight, discipline, knowledge and endurance to continually execute the kind of decontamination protocols necessary to prevent even the wearing of a CBRN ultimately being moot point. With the virus surviving viably on surfaces for hours to a week, if you can't keep your dirty infected dickbeaters out of your eyes nose and mouth until after you've properly decontaminated no amount or grade of mask or barrier is going to keep you uninfected.

Every time I see a millennial/zoomer aged maskfag at a store or something, I cough on the back of their neck.
I’m hoping at least once it’s a Yas Forums prepcel.

It's not about keeping yourself uninfected though, you could already be infected without knowing, it's about protecting those around you.
That's why in my country it's already mandatory to wear them at all times.
