Mandatory Masks

[fratri]

People who test positive for COVID-19 are required to isolate under the Public Health and Protection Act in Ontario. It is not "okay" for them to be out in public even if they have a mask.

The reason to wear a mask is to reduce the spread of the virus by people who don't know they have it and are not showing symptoms.

And those people are not coughing or sneezing on people in public. If the whole reason to wear a mask is for people coughing and sneezing, then how are those carriers spreading the virus, and what does a mask do for them or others?
How much enforcement is there under the health act to isolate? I bet about as much as good as your mask is doing

Dr tam now says it could take years 2 or 3 years before it gets any better and these measures in place could be a new trend for several years. Even with vaccines

I bet a lot of the pro maskers think vaccines will be the solution to no more masks...lmao

Enforcement must be reasonably effective because new cases are decreasing despite the economy being more open. The fine for breaking a public health order in Ontario up to $5,000 per instance. If you are quarantined under the federal health act it's $750,000.

The reason to wear a mask is to reduce the spread of the virus by people who don't know they have it and are not showing symptoms. Laws are passed requiring masks in indoor public places because they are slow learners among us who despite repeated explanations are evidently too dense to understand the reason why masks should be worn.

And once again I'll ask you...…..where do you get this idea from? That's not the reason whatsoever. You keep making up generalities to support your reason not to wear a mask. Same thing with your comment about pro maskers think the vaccine will be the solution to no more masks. Another fictitious comment with no basis.

If I was to jump on the train full of in favor of wearing masks, who else on this train can tell me when vaccines are made available for all, what effect will it have on wearing masks?

[sawbill]

Well, if nobody tosses you off this so-called train, I suspect that if eventually developed, any vaccine will probably only be part of the ultimate solution, not the cure all.

Most likely a vaccine will not be ready until late Summer of 2021 at best. They can only rush so much. Even once they do find a treatment you cannot just produce millions of doses over night. It takes months just to gear up before you can actually start producing. I think early 2022 is probably when they might have something out, that's assuming we can even find a vaccine.

The current idea behind the masks is not to protect you but to protect others from you. There have been numerous people found to have Covid and show no symptoms, the mask will help prevent you from spraying people when you talk, no it's not perfect but it will help.

That’s what the professionals are saying now. This could be the new normal....even with a vaccine.

Until a vaccine is developed no one can answer your question. Come back when a vaccine is developed and widely available.
