Big Al should know. He's the genius who said the N.T. was written 200 years later.
In a nutshell, surgical masks are intended to stop staff sneezing and spitting into open wounds. They do that very well. But operating theaters and clean wards have positive pressure filtered air, so in most cases it's reasonably safe to inhale, and the mask doesn't have to fit closely. Thus a surgical mask is a socially good thing to wear in public in the current circumstance, as you may be infectious without knowing it. But it is pretty useless for self protection in a crowd (like a tube train) or when handling a patient who is known to be infectious because it won't protect you against inhaled aerosols. A builder's dust mask is a better fit and is designed to prevent the inhalation of droplets and particles. A valve is useful in a high performance HEPA mask so you can exhale without steaming up your goggles!

All signs of ageing. Pity, but that's how Duffy's god designed us.
Duffy's going to ignore it and say something rude in an attempt to divert attention from his lack of credibility.
How do I know what I know? I sometimes read the bible when I'm waiting my call in an operating theater.
When a jet filled with passengers and crew suddenly plunges 35,000 feet without warning, "GOD help me" is the refrain repeated over and over no one is embarrassed to scream. That's scientifically proven. He always responds.

That's scientifically proven. He always responds. At last, scientific proof of the beneficence of the almighty. If we compare the outcomes of AA11 (11/9/2001), AF447 (1/6/2009) and BA09 (24/6/1982) the first conclusion is that Duffy's loathsome deity hates Americans (3000 dead) and Frenchmen (228 dead) but is, of course, on the side of the British (no casualties).The odd thing is that the first two cases involved fully functioning aircraft, whereas BA09 had all four engines flamed out. So consider US1549 (15/1/2009) (low altitude, full of Americans, just like AA11) - no major injuries. Ergo, Duffy's god prefers gliders. Which explains why glider pilots deserve the obeisance of mere mortals. We were put on this earth to save mankind.

That's scientifically proven. He always responds. Wormwood, a new recruit, is under the tutelage of senior commander Screwtape. He is green behind the ears and tends to think like his human patients do. Screwtape becomes impatient with his lack of progress tempting humans, constantly reminding him that the death of anyone on good terms with the Enemy is the loss of all they hold dear. "The War is relevant, writes Screwtape, only in that it affects the Patient’s state of mind. The mere fact of air raids on the Patient’s town should be, for Wormwood, beside the point. Wormwood should be trying to keep the Patient alive. Young tempters are being swayed by Hell’s own propaganda, writes Screwtape. Hell has made humans think of death as evil, but, if their souls are prepared like the Patient’s is, death is a good thing. It brings them to the Enemy. Wormwood must remember that it is very difficult for humans to persevere. He should keep the Patient alive until middle age. Then, the Patient may become worldly and lower his guard. Even if the Patient is prosperous, Wormwood can use his good fortune to make him love the earth and not the Enemy. Young people even if they are not religious, are idealistic and detached from the world. It is easier to wean their souls off of eternal thoughts little by little over the course of many years."A few Spark notes on letters18-21 of CS Lewis' work on training of junior devils in The Screwtape Letters.

Quote from: CliveG on 19/04/2020 09:40:31Why have no protection when some protection is better?

Why have no protection when some protection is better?
Live viruses could be detected in the air behind all surgical masks tested.
So why do the news networks educate the public about how to wear a mask and take it off, rather than wear no masks.
Of course, you would rather die than wear a mask that was not 100% effective.
God uses not only our arrogance but our ignorance against us.

Yet your link showed a 6 fold reduction. To me that means you have improved your chances by at least 83 percent. It may even be that the lowered viral load gives a 95 to 99 percent protection against infection. If you get an infection by wearing no mask, you might die. You prefer to wear not mask, hence it is logical for me to state that your choice is a risk of dying rather than wearing a mask with a lower risk of dying. I can logically say you prefer to die rather than wear a surgical mask.Oh course, I could also say you do not want to admit you have been wrong in you posts about masks. I could make further logical deductions about that but you seem to be rather touchy so I will leave it.
When it's all over (if ever) and we take stock, we will indeed have a better appreciation of God. He is the evil bastard who created humans as food for parasites. Which is why human parasites evangelise.
