[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I see a middle aged person wearing a mask now, they are a liberal and want you to know it.  If they are old, I figure they may just be hedging their bets but also probably liberal.  When I see a young person— like 10-20, often with family members not wearing masks I assume they actually have covid or they got messed up by the covid situation and will need counseling at some point to feel safe.

I’m middle aged and I wear a mask to limit my likelihood of getting Covid or Monkeypox. I’m an ex-liberal, BTW.[/quote]

This is such a stunning but revealing statement.  Monkey pox is basically a sexually transmitted disease most common among men having sex with men. That is a fact.  It is not airborne and yet you wear a mask for that.  This is evidence that you really don’t understand what masks can do in terms of protection and for what illnesses.  And, as another poster said, unless you are using an N95, masks don’t help.   But you can wear and N95 and if you are a man having sex with another man and you don’t know each other, that mask isn’t going to help you.  Ignorance on display![/quote]

I’m afraid you are revealing your ignorance. Monkeypox is, among other modes of transmission, airborne. The CDC and WHO used to say so on this their websites, but that was removed from their websites this past spring. Monkeypox is a massive DNA virus which makes it less mobile in the air than Covid, but respiratory transmission is a thing.

BTW, it was never an STD/STI. But, being close enough to someone to have sex with them will make airborne transmission much easier. Have sex with someone who has influenza and you can get the flu, but still we wouldn’t call influenza an STD/STI.

Still masked and glad to tell all why that is.[/quote]
This is wrong. Reports now indicate that almost all cases involve rash, anogenital lesions, and mucosal lesions. It is most definitely a STD. [/quote]

Pshaw! There’s nothing about transmission in what you have said! You’re fooling yourself![/quote]
