A delightful conversation:
Loon: “Masks don’t work!”
Sane: So why is the countries with the highest mask compliance universally have the lowest infection rates?
L: “I’m not talking about other countries!”
S: So, are you saying masks don’t work just in the United States?

...L: This is America! I have the constitutional right not to wear a mask!
Sane: “Well, you just changed the subject.”
L: No I didn’t!
S: You went from saying masks don’t work to saying you have the right not to wear them.
L: I shouldn’t have to wear them! They don’t work!....2

L: No I didn’t!
S: You went from saying masks don’t work to saying you have the right not to wear them.
L: I shouldn’t have to wear them! They don’t work!....2
...and they are an attack on my freedom!
Sane: Real quick. What’s the party of the Constitution that says you don’t have to wear a mask?
Loon: And I don’t care what they do in other countries! America is the greatest country!
S: You realize, you are all over the place....3

...you just keep changing the subject, You said masks don’t work. Based on what?
Loon: The science!
Sane: What science?
Loon: Studies show blah blah blah.
Sane: that was one study, and you apparently never read it. Yes, masks are not perfect protection for the wearer. But...4

...that’s not the point. You wear a mask to block microdroplets that come out of your mouth when you speak from getting into the air. It’s like covering your mouth when you sneeze. The microdriplets are so small that they can only be seen with lasers, but they each contain...5
....100s of 1000s of the virus if you’re infected. And microdroplets are so light, they float in the air, which is why it is more dangerous inside than outside because of still air.
Loon: That doesn’t work!
Sane: Do you cover your mouth when you sneeze?
L: Sure. (Is lying)...6
Loon: That doesn’t work!
Sane: Do you cover your mouth when you sneeze?
L: Sure. (Is lying)...6
...Sane: Ok, and you do that to block anything from coming out of your mouth that could hit someone else, right?
Loon: No, it’s just polite.
Sane: So putting your hand over your mouth when you cough or sneeze doesn’t block anything?
(Changes subject.)
It is lunacy. It is....7

...endless loops and topic changing. And by the end, I STILL have no idea what the big deal is about wearing a mask. But it is clear: they have a decision, and they would rather die than admit they don’t really know what they’re talking about.
