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.

@alyx @SteveTheDragon

That's just semantics

If you're still worried about this pitiful virus at this point, I dunno what to tell you m80

As long as I still have family members and other acquaintances who are vulnerable, for one reason or another, yeah I'm gonna be plenty worried. And even when it comes to people who I'm quite confident would endure it just fine, I still would rather not spread it to them either if I can help it.
