But I know, different situations with different protection requirements. I appreciate all the effort you go through to keep people safe. Even if some are extravaganzizing it.
Well, there's a word.

Wakey Wakey mask on snakey

I'm waking this thread up to ask for a definition/explanation.

We're told masks "slow the spread"

What does this mean?

You'll get sick a week later than you would have without a mask? It doesn't stop the spread and that point has 100% agreement at every source you'll find. So the new rationale is that it "slows the spread". That statement actually makes ZERO sense.

This struck me today as I was putting the face diaper on for the 50th time. "Slow the spread" sounds like nothing more than a delay in the inevitable to me.

Slowing the spread while science develops and administers a vaccine could save lives?

But slowing HOW? Infecting LESS people is PREVENTING spread.

SLOWING means something else. If I am exposed to 20 people daily and I am "slowing" the spread, does that mean that instead of them getting sick in three days, they get sick in two weeks?

The don't say "limiting either. Limiting might mean, of the 20, only 10 get sick. That's not slowing since those 10 are still able to spread.

A mask does not STOP the spread, it "slows" it. That makes no sense.

Everybody knows that, who has read a damn thing on the subject.....

the stupid virus is so small, it passes right through the finest masks as if the masks didn't exist.....it's all just for show.....

I don't wear one unless I"m going to any medical facility where they demand it.....that includes ALL public places no matter the signs on the doors....screw that bullshit....

It actually comes from a Marketing class I took many years ago that spent a great deal of time dissecting ads to determine the real meaning and how to choose words which are not lies, but are not fact. The intention being that they infer facts.

Such as: "Makes hair feel healthier after just one wash". Your hair is NOT healthier at all. It "feels" healthier though.

Or diet foods that guarantee weight loss when used with an exercise program.

No toothpaste will make your teeth whiter (they all make your teeth equally white). Nothing brings pain relief faster (they’re all equally fast). Act now before it’s too late (too late for what?).
