Their deaths have nothing to do with masks, vaccines or keeping two meters apart. You can't hold back a virus like you can't hold back an earthquake. They were going to die no matter what

What is your evidence? you do know that masks block mucus, right? Sneeze on a mirror without a mask, and then with a mask, and compare. Yes, they do prevent some transmission of COVID.

But covid is passed through the air. At the retirement home, we had to wear n95's per the health department because most other masks do nothing

It is passed through the air on mucus as well. That is how it travels mostly. Masks DO prevent mucus eruptions. Why do you think the CDC is making all this up, and what is your actual evidence? The masks do not stop individual COVID cells, but they DO stop mucus that carries those cells.

Also paper and clothe masks are not tightly fitted to the face and do not stop aerosolized mucus particles. Especially if they don't bend around the nose

They also, if not changed frequently (as they never are in practice), maintain a constant state of moisture obviating most all the barrier they originally had as they hold more and more contaminants and bacteria.

Masks that are properly worn DO stop mucus. How are you even arguing this? Sneeze on a mirror with no mask, then with a mask, and post the pics here. It will show you.

They are in most places. Also, why do you think surgeons wear masks? Do you want them to freaking sneeze into your chest cavity? Masks work to stop mucus blasts. There is not even an argument about this.

That's somewhat true. But most paper or clothe masks are not fitted to the face or nose. And so the articles are free to do as they please

Y'all are splitting hairs on the mask issue. Obviously a medical grade mask, or whatever qualifies an n95, is the most effective mask, and the other masks that aren't rated and aren't form fitting obviously aren't as effective but not as effective doesn't mean zero. I don't feel the need to wear an n95 mask because I'm not in contact with consistently sick folk, but I do think wearing my cloth mask helps a little when I take a city bus. I don't cling to my cloth mask as my only defense and think it's impenetrable, but in my situation, I would be taking the n95 mask on and off all the time, defeating the purpose of the extra protection.
