Mask to Mask Transmission?
Note: The mask plot thickens. In California, COVID stepped in and said to mere, measley measles, "Hold My Anchor Steam." Below is an article about mask-to-mask transmission that has halted the Assembly. As always, we wish a speedy recovery from any illness, including COVID.
Which, if any "lay" masks - you know, like the one's that Target is selling complete with a try on mirror, are effective. How is COVID-19 transmitted and what is our ability to pinpoint the "carrier..." when someone tests positive? Do we need to point blame to make ourselves feel better? (Insert doomsday music here.)
Feel free to share your opinions in the comments, please be respectful of others' choices and decisions.

The Assembly is suspending its session until further notice following five confirmed COVID-19 cases among lawmakers and employees.
John Casey, a spokesman to Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, said the Assembly is “closed until further notice,” meaning it will not return for previously scheduled legislative hearings on Monday.
Assemblywoman Autumn Burke, D-Inglewood, has tested positive for COVID-19 and will remain in quarantine with her daughter until a doctor instructs her otherwise, she wrote on Twitter on Monday.
Burke had “mask to mask” exposure to the virus on June 26, she said — the same day that an Assembly employee was last in the Capitol before testing positive. That employee wore a face covering at all times, according to an Assembly Rules Committee email.
The Assembly Human Resources Department told Burke on July 3 that she had been exposed. She tested positive the following day.
“Thank you to everyone who has reached out with well wishes,” Burke wrote on Monday. “We are fine, but it is of the utmost importance that everyone stay safe, be healthy & remain vigilant.”

Our governor; just declared we have to wear a mask. He said he will punish the businesses that serve people that refuse to wear a mask.

Not only do masks not work, they are harmful.
"Respiratory infection is much higher among healthcare workers wearing cloth masks compared to medical masks, research shows. Cloth masks should not be used by workers in any healthcare setting..."

Dr. Rashid Buttar made the best statement yet, when it comes to the logic of wearing masks to protect yourself against Covid-19. I can't remember his exact quote, but what he basically said was :
" Wearing a face mask to stop a virus, is like building a chain link fence to keep flies out of your yard"
The second best quote was actually a meme, that read:
' Ask anyone who's voluntarily wearing a mask "How long are you going to keep wearing that thing?" They won't be able to answer, because their mind is no longer their own'.

Is the supposed rise in cases that corresponds with the increase in mask usage a strong suggestion that they are not effective? What happened to gloves are those out of style now?

Bet she touched her mask and touched her eye... Masks don't protect the eyes, which are REALLY the area that picks up transmittable viruses. And Dawn? Amen.

Mask wearing is to vaccines like pedophilia grooming is to sex.
