That's totally fair. I'm thinking of masks for home users who can wait a bit, not rapid sterilization in healthcare settings.

Since what you're writing is a little ambiguous, let me clarify: The claim is not that masks are the sole difference, or even THE difference, but a factor.
The dumbass graph you posted on the previous page dividing countries into "MASKS" and "NO MASKS" sure as poo poo was not insinuating this. gently caress off

No, because like I said the protection is the exact same as get this, not coughing on things without covering your mouth.

I can't control whether or not someone else covers their mouth when coughing. I can reduce my risk to an equivalent extent by wearing a mask, though. Ideally, I wouldn't be close enough to anyone for either to matter but some things still require proximity to others.

you could redraw the graph w/ "50 story soulless concrete apartments" and "no 50 story soulless concrete apartments" and it would be made correct. the prc is also too rural

You were hyper aggressive itt then stopped when I asked this. Seems like bullshit, you have reports stacked so I’d respond soon if I were you.

The crazy guy called me a liar and that I would "get people killed" for pointing out that he was wrong and clearly had no idea what he was talking about. I was only responding in kind. He of course could not actually defend ehst he said because he obviously doesn't know anything

I think you'll find that I am never the aggressor in these incidents. Merely more successful

Yep. Medical sterilizers that work on a Gravity cycle do so at 120c, those on Prevac do so at 132c. There are also Gas Plasma sterilizers as well, which run at comparatively low temps.

There's a new chain letter making the rounds on social media that says you should avoid cold foods/drinks, drink warm beverages, and gargle with salt water to fight coronavirus. This kind of poo poo is going to get a bunch of people killed when they believe they're impervious because they drink a cup of coffee each morning

It also says that sunlight eliminates the virus. No qualifiers, so a bunch of idiots are going to read that as meaning that you can cure coronavirus by getting a tan and that if you see a surface in sunlight then it's already clean

The only part of the UV Spectrum that can kill Covid, or any pathogen for that matter, are UV-C rays. The problem is very little, to zero, UV-C rays ever actually reach the surface of the earth. It's blocked by our atmosphere.

They work great in specifically designed medical disinfectors that can put out UV-C wavelengths, but bog-standard sunlight with do little to nothing to stop Covid.

You can choose to interpret this, but it was never said or thought. If this was your issue you could've just asked if that's what was meant. And it wasn't. But good we cleared that up then.


Scaling up is a fair concern. Didn't find the article, but i did find the chart it had. And iirc the article was mainly aimed at the home gamer.

I read in a news article that they're using UV to kill the virus. I read in Microsoft Encarta thst sunlight has a lot of UV radiation. Thus, sunlight kills the virus bing bang boom

This is the exact reason I was ripping on that guy so bad.

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
Well this thread went to poo poo

gently caress China.
gently caress Trump
And gently caress people who pointlessly argue against masks.
No goon is dumb enough to wear a mask and think, "Oh I'm totally safe now."
