You pulled a Bart Simpson and upped the wordcount of your post with filler; a single link (N95 vs Surgical / Medical Mask) would have sufficed. But on to the contents...

These people aren't likely to be interacting in the same enclosed area for extended periods of time. The argument for mask-use is hinged on the claim that it lessens the risk of spread when groups of people are indoors, which would explain why prisons saw an uptick in cases when the outside population did not.

Also, in the link you included above, there was no mention of the all-important non-mask wearing group which is a prerequisite for any link you post since you claim that "masks don't do anything".

Bart Simpson, Arnold Palmer, Koch Brothers. You're all over the place.

Are you claiming people should be wearing masks outside at the beach?

Arnold Palmer Alert - Your mantra isn't doing anything.

A debate ought to involve other related and contributing factors without either distracting from the main topic. If you cannot see where the two are related or where one contributes to the other, than the debate will not be a compelling.

As you were the one who made this overtly political from the start, and continue to do so, you only have yourself to thank. I would have preferred to ignore the politics of the day altogether.

You haven't been debating. You've been critical of the source and disguising a political argument with a medical one, without providing any proof the masks people are wearing today do anything to stop the spread of Covid

I don't care about Bart Simpson and Arnold Palmer

Please provide links to multiple random clinical trials that show those flimsy masks the vast majority of people are wearing do anything. Keep in mind most people have been wearing the same mask for a year, so the degradation of their effectiveness (if any) can't be understated

However, it's interesting how when the underpinnings of your argument are associated with arguments of other like-minded individuals, suddenly politics is off-limits. It's okay if you wield politics against others repeatedly, and for no other purpose than to feel good/right, but the moment that political argument is turned on its head or explored more thoroughly, you demand the thread stay on topic. Which is it? Are politics allowed to be discussed or not?

Bart Simpson, Arnold Palmer, Wikipedia, Politifact, Rolling Stone . ect. ect. ect.

Just stop it
