Well, so much for that fad

DURHAM, N.C. – Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are choosing neck gaiters as their go-to face covering. The ease with which they can slide up and down the face makes them a favorite among runners and hikers. Now, however, a new study suggests this lightweight, breathable fabric may be worse at blocking the coronavirus than wearing no face mask at all.

  1. fuck all the masks, studies, and doctors. They're just trying to push us a little further to see if the sheeple will comply

  3. Masks are total BS. I use a neck gaiter precisely because it does NOTHING, but it keeps Karens from annoying me during my 20 minute weekly grocery run.

    1. I've been wearing a shemagh when it's not too hot. And I'm waiting to yell "Are you denying me my religious beliefs!!? How dare you! I want to talk to the manager!".

  5. Study author says "About half of infections are from people who don’t show symptoms". Uh, yeah.. he made that up. There is no study that shows that. In fact, the opposite seems to be true. So if he is willing to lie about that, what does that say about what he actually studied.
    This just encourages me to opt for a bandana. Perhaps with a sign that say "my bandana will make you sicker, but the law makes me wear it".. fun stuff!

  6. I've been interviewing for jobs the last few weeks.
    I've had 4 so far, the last one, today, nobody was wearing a mask.
    I took mine off and said, "Good, I don't have to play covid theater", they laughed.

  10. Why would anyone want to wear a bacteria laden petri dish on their face all day? It will only MAKE YOU SICK and it won't stop the ChiCom Lung AIDS. The WuFlu is going to burn through the population regardless of what anyone does. Only 20% of people get it, but 99.8% survive it.

    1. Actually, with 5,422,242 cases in the US as of today, that is less than 2% that has contracted the Wuhan Red Death. With 169,870 deaths survivability is about 99.96%. However, I have never been good at math. You will never convince me that it is even this bad. False positive tests, most people that get it don't even know they have it, whatever. Counting deaths with the red death, not from it. Governors loading nursing homes with positive patients killing off old people. This is all such bullshit. I am amazed but more disappointed that so many people nave gone along with this bullshit and that there has not been more push back.

  12. I looked at the "study". It's a piece of crap. They're trying to say that neck gaiters have a 110% transmission rate. That's physically impossible. They're counting droplets, but making no provision for size. They speculate that the neck gaiter breaks the droplets down to smaller sizes. But you're still going to have the same amount of water that was dispensed. They're counting droplets and making absolutely no provision for the VOLUME of water and how much remained on the material.

    Now what kind of messages are normally seen on neck gaiters? Conservative, Patriotic, Macho. Do you think the study would have been configured to have a different result if the messages routinely seen on neck gaiters were those approved by the democrats?

  13. The past month I have had to spend a lot of time in hospitals and doctor's offices. So I have had to mask up at times. I bought one of the gaiters. It was listed as "One size fits all". Well maybe if you were Zippy the Pinhead. I couldn't even get the damn thing past my ears.

  14. no no, it's a legal face covering. (just like a napkin clipper under your glasses or even a lace dainty). Therefore it's all good. Because the government would only order us to do things that are good for us.

    In case it's not obvious it's all sarcasm, although the napkin and lace are legal face coverings, nothing pisses commies off more than mockery.

  17. I use my wife's old bikini panties, trimmed to fit. Breathable cotton and.....

  18. At times I consider wearing a stained ladies panty, but do not because I tend to laugh uncontrollably even thinking about doing doing shit like that. But if I did wear one you can be sure there would be plenty of "social distancing" on the part of my fellow travelers. Strike out on the panty stopping anything but hit a home run on social distancing-batting 0.500 gets a ball player a fat contract. Maybe I'll send my proposal to Dr. Tony for review and ask for a lot of NIH money to study it some more.

  19. I've been using a shield with no mask. Its a face covering so f*k off. I love the looks i get

  20. A local Eatery here (which will not be named) has a employee outside enforcing the Mask requirements. Sooo, if your a customer with no mask the employee will hand you a paper towel to cover you nose and mouth to enter the restaurant and to your table! Most peeps in this area know the mask issue is BS, but still love life and are determined to continue living life instead being scared of anyone without a face diaper

  21. If I knew someone who could sew one for me, I'd opt for a Zodiac at Lake Berryessa mask. Might as well have some fun with all of this....

  22. Fuck that asshole, nobody cares what that dipshit has to say.
    Mandate states face coverings in my state and with temps running 95 to 97 degrees, not factoring in the humidity, I'm not going to wear anything but my gaiter when forced to cover up.
