A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
The cheap, dumpy masks are still going to somewhat reduce your intake of particles and significantly reduce your output, which is their main point.
Thats great, but did they actually prevent spread is the question to ask. We can start out with the hypothesis that they do work, then we need to actually confirm if that is true.
here. just the first two research results for a simple google search "did masks work research."

i mean.... you could look into it? know that it's difficult to set up an ideal study during a pandemic.
edit - also, it's hard to take you seriously in this debate when you aren't bothering to ACTUALLY LOOK AT SOME RESEARCH yourself. but i see you making lots of comments making a show of concern.
edit: off topic, nevermind.
Even the guy he was replying to said nothing about mandates. I'd argue that's a related but different topic.
you are probably right. I'll see myself out.
Well I wouldn't have said you needed to delete the comment, I just didn't want the antimasker taking support from it when it was dubiously related. ๐
I appreciate that :)
