The paper sited here literally shows those cloth masks only work if everyone wears them. The population that's dumb as a rock is you. A virus is sub-micron. That virus dies upon hitting air. You don't need a mask to defend against it. It also doesn't come magically shooting out of your face. It comes out in droplets of oil and water, which are 50 microns in size. The mask, even a cloth mask, catches those on their way out, preventing you from spreading the virus.
The masks would be a holy grail if literally everyone wears them. It's like vaccines. They can be 60% effective, but if everyone has a vaccine no one gets sick.
People are already on oxygen therapy. Z-Pak is an antibiotic - do you know the difference between a virus and bacteria? Of course you don't. The other two you mention literally don't do anything. At all. To kill the virus with peroxide, you would have to inhale peroxide fumes. That would cause more inflamation than the virus. People are killed by ventilators you say? You know what kills you more? Not breathing. People are sedated and put on a ventilator when they literally cannot breathe anymore - they would literally die from lack of oxygen in an hour if there was no ventilator - because they cannot inhale air.
Dumb as a rock is correct as fuck - you're right about that.
the mask mandates reduce transmission from the infected to everyone else. Coronavirus doesn't travel in "molecules" - water is a molecule. A virus is hundreds of thousands of molecules. The virus globs that come out of your mouth are literally the size you can feel. couch or sneeze on your hand, then wipe it on your face. Fell something? That's how the virus comes out. Now do that in a cloth mask. Fell something? No, because your mouth-goo is in the mask.
I'm against mask enforcement because the government doesn't have the authority to mandate that. It's also up to the individual to protect himself, not the responsibility of the world around him to give him a safe space.
But you calling the population dumb and ill-informed. That's quite rich.
