We tolerate driving, construction sites, motorcycles, alcohol consumption, cops with guns and don't go into lockdowns during flu season. There's a number of people who need to die every day due to those factors, and you're okay with that. What is your number?
- onion2k 5y agoWe tolerate those things because they're useful. They enable our way of life. Wearing a mask has essentially no impact on our lives, so it's not really worth accepting deaths in order to not wear one. You just wear one, and fewer people die, and nothing else changes. It's not like giving up cars or construction sites at all. The problem here is that you're trying to claim that the utility that cars provide to society is equivalent to the utility of going shopping without a mask on. That argument is obviously stupid.
- stackedinserter 5y agoBreathing air that's not filtered through wet dirty piece of cloth is useful too. If you're ready to wear mask all the time for the rest of your life, would you agree that we need to start wearing hard hats all the time? That will definitely save some lives. Same for motorcycle helmets for bicycles - why not? Hazmat suits for shopping - why not? They must be much more efficient than just masks. Why wouldn't we ban motorcycles and mountain bikes? They are not "useful" and take lives every year. Safety is number one priority out of one, right? BTW words like "stupid" and "obviously" don't add credibility to whatever you say.
