If face masks really stop Covid, then why are so many of us still catching it?

Stifling. Itchy. Dehumanising. Oppressive. Profoundly un-British. Just some of the terms used to describe the experience of mask-wearing.

Surveys say 3/4 of Britons wear masks 😷 which means as many as 16 million might not be wearing them. With just two million cases active at the moment pretty much easy to fit one figure into the other...

Because there are many that are not wearing them that's why

Transmission is not only respiratory route

Because it's transmitted by touch and people not washing their hands properly too. See : pub toilets

Masks don't stop covid! Masks, social distancing and proper hand desinfection reduce the risk of spreading the virus in 60%, which is different to 'stop the disease'.

Masks are a layer of protection. The better the mask, the better the protection.

JimmyKranki Pricks in media again, Try Washing your hands also. 😷🇬🇧

😩😩it has never been claimed that masks STOP COVID 🥱🥱

Because so many idiots don’t wear them.

Probably because so many people don't wear them, or wear them properly, or do any other basic things that would help stop the spread of the virus

It’s all lies.

Governments want us to wear masks, not for protection, but as a visible sign, something to scare and control us with.

Because so many idiots are still refusing to wear them, I was in my one-stop at the till, a man right behind me no 2 m, no facemask, I ask him to move back, he laughed at me.

Face it , nothing has stopped the spread, the vaccine might work to an extent, but you may as well try to control the wind

“This is an Adult facial covering and DOES NOT protect you from any virus or airborne disease.”

Because they're more meant to reduce the chances of you spreading it, not catching it? I'm so tired of hearing this stupid fucking question

Because the whole thing is a plan to bring about the announced 'Great Reset' and evil and rotten governments need cases to justify more totalitarian measures. Masks are just a symbol of submission and a way of bringing visibility to the fakedemic.

Ask the BLM supporters in london on public transport

Actually the question is if masks really work why do so many refuse to wear it?

Face masks doesn't work, proven by Danish research

Theres a lot of idiots who dont wear masks properly. Also when people eat in public or do big family gatherings without masks its easy to transmit the virus.

Coz Nobody wears them in London!?!?!!!!!!

There has never been any proper scientific evidence to suggest that masks are effective against covid19

mcfarlin1987 BC it’s BS!

they aren't meant to be worn multiple times people aren't cleaning their hands yeah that's about it

Because mask is a tool not a cure.

Because they don't work...🙄 Read a detailed analysis in the article below. MasksDontWork COVID19 An Evidence Based Scientific Analysis of Why Masks are Ineffective, Unnecessary, and Harmful. by Dr Jim Meehan MD

Because a protection is either 100% effective, or it's worthless... Apparently, there is no middle ground, at least not if you're the Daily Mail.

Possibly because not all people wearing them!

How can a mask, a general member of the public wears, work? Hospitals go through a protocol of putting them on, taking them off. Medical grade masks. We put them in our pockets, touch stuff, put them back on, reuse etc. Pointless

Because people go to restaurants/bars and meet with families without masks

Didn’t take a lot of working out that they didn’t work I no more people who caught covid who wore masks than I do people who don’t including me 💁🏾‍♂️

The experts and scientists are full of crap 💩

Open your eyes, a lot of idiots not wearing them

Masks DO NOT stop you catching it - if worn correctly the infected person will be limited on spreading it via their breath/cough etc - BUT RETARDS out there do not wear it correctly or do not wear it at all, plonkers don’t understand the concept of why the mask is worn

Stupid article. Masks don't work if you reuse them, don't take them off correctly or wear them under your nose or as a chin warmer. Use them correctly, their not 100% but better than nothing. Right NOW it's all we have.

Because not everyone is wearing them clearly and then you produce dumb articles for the dumb people that just fuels the conspiracy theories

Because they have to be washed in hot soapy water every day, also wish your hands for 30+seconds frequently and whenever you arrive home, get to work or wherever, if not use sanitizer often

Because they’re wearing masks that block 0% of this virus then get close to others while talking. Others are having people over in their home thinking it’s safe

NAW’T EVRY BUDDY VWAY’Z MAZK’Z, AN ZSOZSUWL DYZSTUNCE, LYKE THAY ZSHUW’D, THAY DUN’T ZSTAY AH VWAY FRUM GATHERYNG’Z! IT’Z REELY AR’D 2 GYTT UZSE 2 DIZ DYVVERYN’T VWAY UV LYVYNG, EZSPEZSHULLY DA GHYLDREN! BUTT VWE NEA’D 2 LYZSTEN DA X-PERT’Z!! 😎😷

Because the daily mail and telegraph have encouraged people not to take care. Amplified rule breaking as something others could do. But above all sensationalised, half reported and left many people confused, deliberately for hooked controversy sales.

Lack of sanitizing and washing hands? Remember all the things that you touch when you go around public places and of course adherence to social distancing? Maybe.. Just maybe....

Perhaps because they don't work, as we were told countless times between March and July by the 'experts' that we are still obeying!!!!!! The curious case of the Danish mask study

Because everyone isn’t doing it right. You make it sound like everyone is wearing mask etc. but a lot of people still dieing. There are still parties get together. People not wearing mask. Therefore spreading the virus.

N95 is the only mask that might stop virus, the rest are useless

You guys are *the worst*.

Oh and wearing said masks under the chin and nose- senseless 🤯

Something to do with mingling, hand washing and the cloth masks/ face coverings being fashionable but ineffective 🤔

KassandraKitson Its almost as if they don't actually work and science is right about them. Who would've thought?

BECAUSE WE ARE (WERE ) NOT ALL WEARING THEM ASSHAT !

The answer is in your question.

Because so many aren't wearing them and if face masks don't work then why have operating theatre staff been wearing them for 100 years ?

sharonsfeed but are they spreading in same areas..what of areas they are not spreading..whats the connection is the question surely?.. ..why more on one than another? like rural communities like ours has had but 6 deaths since April....our community has some 55% retired, small % are BAME.

Perhaps the governments greatest achievement was achieving such high levels of compliance with a policy that they admitted themselves wasn’t backed by any hard scientific evidence. People are happy to be played like fiddles and it’s sad.

Not everyone knows how to wear a face mask correctly, some people wear the face mask which just covers the mouth instead of their mouth and nose. Some face masks are the wrong material or have a ventilation system in it.

Because they don’t stop covid. Neither does social distancing or lockdowns.

Because you are not wearing them properly. If you wear them only on your chin they don’t work.

use your brain instead of ass to think.

masks have been proven to make no substantial impact. you know, in other countries?

Because face mask can stop radiation poisoning

If you have to ask this question there is no Hope for the country! 👎

You also have to distance and wash hands plus not with your nose out. A part of society are not wearing masks. The person who quoted it's just the flu where did you study your science degree or PHD? You tend to find people who spout crap are people with F in their Science GCSE

DailyMailUK is one of the only papers out there pushing for answers & publishing the truth. Well done to all of you. 👏🏼🤝🏻 SkyNewsBreak & BBCNews 🚮🚮

Scamdemic

Easy: not most but someones everywhere need a master degree to properly wear a face mask🙁

Is this rhetorical? I feel like I don't wanna answer because someone's gunna pop out of the internet and punk me for falling for the joke

This is because you are not wearing them correctly, or at all, and don't wash your hands, but apply hand sanitizer over germs then your lying about social gathering!💯

They have also proved that lockdowns don't work, why do you think they still enforce them?

Because they don’t work to stop a respiratory virus. Either that or we should wear 3 at one time.

Because Covid is very contagious and many can have it and spread not knowing they have it. Washing hands, not touching face, social distancing may help prevent, but nothing will stop this virus. We must open up the world safely and stop trying to hide from a microscopic virus.

I also think that mask wearers could be spreading germs more - never seen so many people constantly fiddle with them and then touch stuff! Like having a petrie dish on your face. Plus I'd rather not get bacterial pneumonia... maskOff

They don't work that's why 🙄

They are a waste of time

It's about compliance and control, not health. The majority of people have blindly accepted rules without scientific evidence and now we're paying the price. They want us desperate to take their experimental vac.

If bullet proof vests really stop bullets why are so many people being killed by bullets. The DM really is quite pathetic...

People are wearing masks in shops etc, but that's not where transmission is happening. When people visit the houses of others they don't wear a mask: and that's when transmission occurs.

Because so many don't wear them

because its all bs.

Mask alone is not enough, maintaining distencing, hand washing frequently, avoid touching, sanitizing clothes after removing from body, covering eyes, hair all are important, bringing things into home has hazard.

If condom works, why hiv is still spreading? The media has no brain cell these days.

People aren't sticking to every slice so things get through. Each slice adds a little extra protection. There you go.

Garbage. Here's proof of effectiveness. UK ICU staff in covid wards, wearing properly fitted FFP/N95 masks, have the same infection rate as the general population. Blue 3ply, closely fitted surgical masks are effective in most situations. All other face coverings are ineffective

Negligible effect. Viruses are tiny and most people don't manage cloth masks well anyway.

Shhh dont ask important questions that might expose people to reality. Nobody likes that apparently

If seatbelts save lives, why are there still auto fatalities? If only I can prevent forest fires, why do they still happen? What a stupid question.

As a non mask wearer I find it funny when people blame me and others for the spread of a virus I’ve not had..

Cos do many not wearing them. It's not rocket science

a ☕️? 🙃

They make it worse

If YOU wear a mask what’s ya problem with someone who doesn’t? You are safe aren’t you or so THEY say! 🧐

Because a major proportion of the pop only wear them when legally required to do so and go about life as if it doesn't exist. The 'I'm alright Jack, F**k you attitude'

Because the whole thing is a great big scam

Have a look at home many don’t wear it. Majority are youngsters and they all seem to be exempt. The good thing is all these exempt kids stick together .

Maybe not. But wearing one doesn't spread the virus. So wear a bloody mask and stop being so selfish and arrogant.

Common! Face masks don't stop you from contracting Covid. It's only a preventive measure.

Do you idiots have a clue how much worse things would be if fewer wore masks

You don't wear it.. that's why

Because idiots don’t wear them properly and they think that cheap homemade cotton novelty masks will keep them safe...Fools!

They wore them half-heartedly and recklessly. Ignorance

We already know they don’t work..

'Trumpsters,' foolhardy deniers and other misinformed people are likely passing the virus among themselves.

I wear it to avoid people.
