Alvez, what do you make of the Tea Party video.? Bunch of right wingers talking cobblers or not........I hesitate to post this but for those wanting a genuine debate on masks between two experts in a proper debate format well here it is:-
The number one thing that strikes me about that video (I've watched the entire 40+ minutes) is not the backing of a congressman, or the sheer number of doctors on the video, but the fact that Facebook, Twitter and YouTube acted incredibly quickly once it has reached millions to delete it. Twitter users have also been blocked until they remove the video from their timelines.Alvez, what do you make of the Tea Party video.? Bunch of right wingers talking cobblers or not........
Watching now Alvez, interesting opening statements. Thanks for this.

Save me 2 hours and tell me who wins. I will give you a like.
The debate was between a doctor of philosophy and a doctor of physics. The former advocating for masks, the latter arguing that masks don't have a measurable benefit, to either the wearer or others.
The two guys had a different approach, the philosopher was very argumentative and tried to dismiss the scientist as, well to be honest lying. The approach and the content made him quite difficult to listen to. The physicist had a more measured approach and quoted scientific papers.
The Philosopher, dismisses the Physicist arguments as mis-representation of the quoted papers.
The philosopher uses anecdotal evidence, which we are all aware of already.
To summarize:
We should wear masks because it is obvious they work as they block aerosols
The government should not make people wear masks as they are ineffective
The philosopher was a better speaker and only had anecdotal evidence for the effectiveness of masks
The scientist quotes papers, but you would have to read those to confirm he isn't misrepresenting
No real winner
Have you got a link to the original Alvez, I'd be interested to hear what others saidIt's funny you say that because the comments suggests there was a winner .. given that a debate is won by those watching passing judgement.

That surprised me the philosopher was by and large castigated in the viewer comments.
Only his mannerisms were criticised, not what he actually said.
Pretty important distinction
I watched 30 mins but the second bloke is too boring for me to continue.
In a nutshell, a mask will stop you spreading the virus to others (assuming you have it, and are asymptomatic) BUT won't stop you catching the virus if spread by people NOT wearing a mask. So wearing a mask will help stop the spread.
