Mandated Masks

The Sino-pandemic appears to have entered a new stage, at least as far as the government and media are concerned. There is much authoritarian concern over Covid-19 variants expressed with words like "surge" and "raging" but few actual numbers of deaths and infections. The main focus is that masks must once again save the world from imminent death. Even "social distancing" has come to be ignored in favor of universal masks. 

In a situation where "following the science" has been the recipe it's important to remember that no scientific study has ever confirmed the efficacy of masks in preventing the spread of Covid-19. 

Even more important is the fact that the authorities never describe the entire mask procedure. If, indeed, masks of any kind prevent the spread of viral particles from one individual to another, they must intercept and contain those viruses. In order for a mask to work, to achieve its goal, there must be viruses trapped in the mask after it has been worn. 

Every person wearing a mask must assume that when that mask is no longer worn it is contaminated with Covid-19 virus, among other things, and is now a locus of infection. In view of this, what procedure should be followed when a mask is abandoned? We never read or hear anything about this.

If we're to believe that Covid-19 is the highly communicable and dangerous disease that the CDC and Dr. Fauci tell us it is and that we should wear masks to prevent its spread, there must be some  requirements for mask disposal, other than leaving them in the shopping center parking lot. Teeming with viruses, discarded masks are far more dangerous than the dog poop on lawns next to fire hydrants that so enrage suburban homeowners. At a minimum, mask wearers should be instructed on the proper way to remove the mask and then place it in some kind of bio-hazard container so it can be deposited in a facility where it will be destroyed. Then there should be a de-contamination procedure for the mask wearer. If mask wearers are to include virtually all of the population everyone must know and follow the correct procedure for mask disposal. 

The lack of public information on mask disposal indicates a couple of things. First, the virus that surrounds each and every one of us, can't possibly be as communicable as it's said to be if there's so little concern over discarded masks. Secondly, if it is that communicable, health authorities are being incredibly negligent in not pointing out that fact and instructing the unwashed masses in ways to properly destroy the entrapped viruses. This shows that the health Nazis are more concerned with the outward appearances of battling the raging pandemic than in making genuine progress against it. If a truely scientific effort is being made in this area it must also include a study, the results of which are made public, on how often a viral infection is the result of an incorrectly worn or disposed mask.
