How do masks stop the spread when there are more cases than ever?

How do condoms stop pregnancy when we have more people on earth than ever?

They break clearly a lot more than you're aware of people thinking they're safe when they're not, which is actually very applicable to covid too.

Oh and again as always, you're trying to deflect the point I made which is irrelevant but also obviously irrelevant anyway

I'm not trying to deflect anything. I was honestly gobsmacked that's what you believe in spite of all the advice and science.

So you just listen to science without looking at the numbers? Gotcha...

i think other virus's will follow on after covid because thats how things roll. While we have all been self isolating and social distancing across the world, we have reduced our immunity to everything else thats going around, so when people start mixing again properly. people are going to start dropping like flies. Whether it will be as bad as covid remains to be seen, but we have totally ****ed with the equilibrium and that will have consequences

What numbers change the science? Masks are primarily there to stop us spreading it, so if you're near someone who's not wearing a mask, then they will be infecting loads of people (that's how it's spreading so much), and we have loads of anti-masker. I really shouldn't need to explain this to you after 9 months. Haven't you spoken to your parents about it at all?

The numbers are also dire, I'd rather listen to science than politics or business when it comes to killer viruses too tbh.

Masks won't stop all infections especially if used in isolation, but they do reduce the spread if used alongside other measures that Nicky has mentioned.

The problem is the amount of people that choose not to wear masks, or fail to wear them properly, lack of social distancing and lack of hygiene measures.

Sadly, too many people choosing to mock the use of masks and refusing to accept proven science, and too many ridiculous conspiracy theorists are part of the reason that the virus is continuing to spread.

At least 72,000 people in the UK are already dead as a result of this virus and we all have a responsibility to play our part to prevent those numbers rising. Maybe think of those people and have some respect for them, before mocking the use of masks.
