Unless you literally took a test every two weeks, you had no idea whether you were carrying it or not. THAT was the point!

Fauci said, back in the day, if you do not have symptoms then you don't have COVID. Not that anything Fauci said was factual but the reason why doctors wear N95 masks in the operating room is to keep any virus or bacteria they might expire from infecting the patient. So there is some validity to what Fauci said.

But that does not address the point I am making. People are not wearing the mask to protect other people, they are wearing it in fear that they will get the virus from someone else. They think the mask is a shield against infection when it is not.

The virus is small enough to easily pass through an N95 mask. It is the moisture particles that come out of your mouth that might contain a virus that the mask works for. It will prevent the droplets from exiting the mask. However, if the virus is airborne and not contained in a water droplet then you'll need something much more heavy duty than an N95 keep that virus out of your lungs.

It's more likely that you've misunderstood what he said than it is that he was wrong. But the medical community has been very clear from the very beginning: it is completely possible you have this virus and transmit it without ever once feeling unwell. A LOT of diseases work like that actually.

I did not misunderstood what Fauci said. He said something to the effect of, "if you're asymptomatic then you probably don't have the virus." He said it early on into the pandemic. Of course, later he backtracked that and everything else he said. He said a whole lot of things that were flat out wrong, like if you get the vaccine you will not get the virus. That's complete crap. I got the vaccine and it was only after that when I got the virus.

Well, the medical community has been very clear on this: if you haven't been wearing a mask, you've probably spread it to everyone you knew and didn't even know it. It was known from the very beginning to be transmissible asymptomaticly.

I don't know what the problem is here, you don't even like the man, you should be the first to be saying "well he must have been wrong then". But you're trying to do that in a way that still gets you off the hook for not wearing a face mask during a global pandemic and you just aren't!!!

This is still missing the point of the meme. Most people wearing masks today are wearing thinking they are protecting themselves from others.

And, no, I haven't been spreading it around. I got from riding the train into work and before I even knew I had it I didn't go anywhere. Then when I got sick I remained at home until I felt normal.

I've only had it that 1 time. If you don't have the virus, you're not spending it around.

That may be true going forward but looking back, what a complete waste of time.

But, remember, I'm vaccinated, I'm supposed to be immune to COVID-19, right?

I ain't wearing a mask however, seeing that COVID was manmade by people who believe the world is overpopulated, I might consider getting a couple of military gas masks for the next and worse pandemic those idiots create.

What are you talking about? That's ALWAYS been true. Is now. Was in 2019. And all points in between.

What's been true? Do you still think that the vaccine will protect you from the virus?

Well, it's that time again: when you've lost the thread of our conversation, you KNOW that all you have to do is scroll up and read it again until you pick up where you lost the plot.

"Well, it's that time again: when you've lost the thread of our conversation, you KNOW that all you have to do is scroll up and read it again until you pick up where you lost the plot."

I said a few things in my last comment to you and I was wondering which one you responded to with the "That's ALWAYS been true".

However, if you are done with the conversation then that's okay. It really wasn't going anywhere anyway. So, rather than replying just enjoy yourself and have a great day. (I'm NOT being sarcastic)
