The purpose of surgical masks is not to protect yourself from viruses, the purpose is that if you got it without knowing (or maybe if you're asymptomatic) you're less likely to spread it to others if you wear the mask. Surgical masks protect you indirectly by means of everyone around you wearing one.

If you want to protect yourself directly, you need at least an N95 mask or better.

>You're less likely to spread to others

Oh good, I can continue not wearing one then
@alyx @SteveTheDragon

Never

I've had it twice

I'm not wearing the mask specifically because they are trying to force me to. I'd wear it otherwise

@histoire @SteveTheDragon
Wearing the mask doesn't mean you're doing it specifically because some other moron is forcing you to. You're still wearing it cause you're a decent human being and don't want to endanger the lives of others.

And if you do want to endanger the lives of others... I'm saying this in the most sincere way I can, fuck you.

I'd rather be a cunt that doesn't want people around me to get my diseases, than those that think not wearing a piece of fabric on their face during a pandemic is "sticking it to the man".

I mean.. yeah... By 2008-2010 standards, that's basically where I qualify.

Lib is just short for liberal. As for what it means now... that's kinda hard to say anymore considering how much the left has shifted. By European standards, liberal is supposed to mean what libertarian means for Americans. But in USA, because liberal was for too long a synonym for left-wing, it's meaning was twisted too much lately.
