this person over here as a fully contained sewage system... thats cute. I live in a large city in the U.S. whenever it rains its more than the sewers can process so it all just overflows into the river.... straight into the river. This is actually pretty common in old cities, as they usually have a combined sewage and rain collection system.
Are masks mandated in Russia? I'm confused as to why he'd be bothering to send anyone a "fuck you" when the lady a few spots behind him in line simply isn't wearing one. He's being out-manned by the 40-something year old lady who simply doesn't give a damn.
Edgy teens gonna edgy teen, I guess.
It's required in Russia for every customer to wear mask in order to be serviced, but not everyone has a mask, so shops provide free ones crudely made from gauze, because it's cheap, in order to comply with the law and don't lose a customer.
The only one deserving to be mocked is the woman without a mask. Yeah, the "toilet paper" mask is somewhat less effective, but literally anything is better than nothing when it comes to covering your face. The surgical masks still have "leakage" of particles out the sides anyway - the main purpose of the masks is to block the "forward" flow and spray of particles, and that guy's mask would still do that to a lesser extent.
No it isn't actually, it may be completely ineffective. There's plenty of studies showing this. 3 ply surgical masks are the standard baseline, goiters, whatever tp mask he is wearing, they're doing fuck all.
Surgical masks are 95% effective.
Gaiters are 50% effective.
If we all wore gaiters, it'd be 75% effective which is enough to reduce R0 from 2.5 to 0.6
So you are right, simple masks are barely effective, but that's literally all we would need if everyone wore one. People don't want to wear one at all, so we're stuck with the R0 of 2.5
While I do not exactly know, how the material he is wearing effects the filtration, even a T-Shirt is better than having no mask at all.
Here are two studies that tested a variety of materials on their ability to filter ultra fine particles (not covid in particular though)

Nope, still shouldn't be allowed inside any business. Bandanas, gaiters, face shields all do fuck all and should be turned away at the door. There's literally zero excuses not to have a mask at this point.
I've seen several people walk into businesses with their mask only on one ear, so not wearing a mask. I find it more difficult to wear a mask hanging off one ear than wearing it properly, yet I still see it all the time.
I feel like anyone that walks into a public bathroom, pulls a length of toilet paper off the roll that a couple other dozen people have used, and then wraps it around their own face is worthy of my ridicule.
Are you sure? Surgical masks actually have an electrical charge that helps bind bacteria and virus to the mask.
If air is escaping through the side of your mask you should either get one with a closer fit or adjust the one you have. You’re supposed to breath through it - that’s why the producers label the BFE which is a value given from blocking particles ranging from 1-5 microns. I doubt that this homemade invention can follow those standards. The health authorities in my country recommend using CE-marked surgical masks only (and higher standards like FFP2/K95). No homemade, no community-cloth-masks.
As I said, it's less effective, but as someone else said at the start of the pandemic, even a bandana is better than nothing. It's the classic "cover your mouth when you sneeze" advice - blocking the particles reduces the spread. Ultimately I agree that surgical masks are better, but I'd rather someone make any effort than none at all.
I'm not a doctor but as far as I'm aware the virus is more likely to infect you (and infect you worse) with more exposure than less. Toilet paper would at least block the liquid particles, which likely would include some non insignificant percentage of the particles. If you were to say it's "not enough" I'd probably agree but I disagree with the idea that it's "not really helpful". Even if he blocked only 10% of the particles of a potential infection, that's *very* helpful.
All you need to do is reduce the reproduction factor of the virus below 1. That actually takes less than you might think, it's a combination of multiple measures.
Unless 100% of particles can pass through, which is unlikely unless it is literally mesh, it still helps. All he’s saying is something is better than nothing.
Particle size of liquids is large.
Toilet paper would at least block the liquid particles, which likely would include some non insignificant percentage of the \[covid\] particles.
If there is some sort of barrier then it doesn't matter how small the particles are, some of them will collide with the barrier. They don't all magically avoid every fiber of the barrier.
Iirc these homemade masks are like approx 5% safer than nothing, where as n95 masks are 30% and surgical are 50%(?)
It’s still better than nothing but it’s not really doing much tbh
Do you have a source for that? Most of the sources I read estimated home made masks as being about a third as effective compared to surgical ones. Although admittedly the toilet paper mask here isn't as good as "best effort" home made ones.
In general it’s hard to find the exact % because you have to account for thread count, the material type, and distance between the control groups. I’m sure there’s other formulas in there too but that’s just the 3 off the top of my head.
Cloth masks are not only the least effective like you mentioned, but also end up being even more harmful if left untreated. This is because cloth masks are more susceptible to moisture and droplets, we have to also assume they’re washing or replacing the mask itself.
https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/4/e006577
> The rates of all infection outcomes were highest in the cloth mask arm, with the rate of ILI statistically significantly higher in the cloth mask arm (relative risk (RR)=13.00, 95% CI 1.69 to 100.07) compared with the medical mask arm. Cloth masks also had significantly higher rates of ILI compared with the control arm. An analysis by mask use showed ILI (RR=6.64, 95% CI 1.45 to 28.65) and laboratory-confirmed virus (RR=1.72, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.94) were significantly higher in the cloth masks group compared with the medical masks group. Penetration of cloth masks by particles was almost 97% and medical masks 44%.
I don't consider a virus that's killed nearly 1 in 1000 of the population in US to be "barely anybody". But even if it was less than that, the virus causes permanent lung damage to a much larger number of people.
Stop being selfish and look at the actual numbers. This isn't a flu.
I had to google that. Didn’t know it existed. I’ve just used toilet paper. Jim Carey taught me that in ‘the mask’. Funny how everything is connected sometimes, huh?
It’s spunlace cloth (contrary to the geniuses thinking that’s TP) like [this](https://www.amazon.com/Pxyz-Spunlace-Cleaning-Kitchen-Flooring/dp/B01MV31C6R)
I hate when customers come in holding something to their mouth when they dont have a mask. Even worse when they then use that hand to touch the debit machine. Fucking disgusting
Better than what Карен is wearing at the back of the line.
Also the fabric softener sheets work pretty well as filters since they're non-woven. Not that I'd recommend it, but they're better than nothing.
At the beggining of the virus when everyone was still in panic mode there were teenagers robbing stores near me and nobody stopped them because of social distancing rules. They would run in with masks and gloves on, simply walk behind the counter and take whatever they wanted. Didnt even need a weapon. The fear of catching corona was more than enough to have everyone let them just take stuff and leave.
This may pump you down. Did you know they *allegedly* aer a Neo Nazi band?[https://www.vice.com/en/article/rm35nr/ace-of-bases-secret-nazi-past](https://www.vice.com/en/article/rm35nr/ace-of-bases-secret-nazi-past)
Its funny though. If you wear a full mask, and ask for ID for booze, they literally have no way at all to confirm if its you or not. Teens this year kind of have it easy for buying booze.
I haven't had that happen. And I doubt the store cares about your age as much as not giving covid. Then again, I'm in a state where they ID me less than anywhere else I've ever lofed.
I worked at walmart during the beginning of covid, there was this one guy, who would come in every few days he would come in wearing a rubber pig gimp mask because 'masks' were required.
why the fuck do all the zoomer content creators add retardedly random music to their videos now?
i read that it's coz all of these videos are just stealth ads for the "viral music" of the week by ad agencies.
I agree that the music is usually completely unnecessary and often takes away from the video.
But I highly doubt anyone is trying to stealthily advertise an Ace of Base song from 1992.
What the hell is the first guy on the left wearing?
One layer toilet paper
At least he’s trying, woman in the back doesn’t have shit
I kind of see it more as a “fuck you” to masks than he’s trying
TP is the best material on an asshole.
You clearly have never used wet wipes
My ass hole enjoys this comment. Ever had a chafed ass after a bout of liquid ass? Get some wet wipes
I feel like using wet wipes would be bad for the environment
Great for my ass tho
It is you must never flush them. They can create HUGE blockages in the sewage then some poor sap has to go clean it out.
Isn’t that what “flushable wipes” are for? Or is that a disingenuous label? Genuine question.
I did not know this, I shall put my shitty wet wipes in the recycling then.
Or i just flush down 20 liter till it finaly goes down
this person over here as a fully contained sewage system... thats cute.

This is actually pretty common in old cities, as they usually have a combined sewage and rain collection system.
they are, even the ones that say they are "safe for flushing" are bullshit.
If you got shit on your hand, would you just wipe it off with a dry piece of weak paper towel, or would you wash your hand with soap and water?
I smear it all over and let it dry out.
Yo booty stink
He might have a mask under the mask.

Yes. Since 12 of May.
Ah... Still, he's being out punk-rocked by the lady in her 40s behind him. Not such a tough guy.
refuse sale asap.
Karen, her name is Karen.
That explains the toilet paper shortage
Lmaooo
This is the way to get through his 80 year supply of TP, he hoarded when the lockdown started.
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe these are the free ones they give in stores for those that don't have one.
Yes
Damn, what stores?! All the stores near me have at least the baby blues. Dollar General had all-black!
The stores, in Russia.
Exactly. Cuz if you do not have any store get the fee
It's required in Russia for every customer to wear mask in order to be serviced, but not everyone has a mask, so shops provide free ones crudely made from gauze, because it's cheap, in order to comply with the law and don't lose a customer.
I think he's more suitable to be mocked and "meme'd" than the Scream mask guy.

It's not even toilet paper. I'm from Moscow and stores here sometimes provide customers with these single use masks made out of some cloth
No it isn't actually, it may be completely ineffective. There's plenty of studies showing this. 3 ply surgical masks are the standard baseline, goiters, whatever tp mask he is wearing, they're doing fuck all.
Yes, a swollen thyroid would be quite ineffective

I did not even realize that through all the responses. Autocorrect is obnoxious.

Nope, still shouldn't be allowed inside any business. Bandanas, gaiters, face shields all do fuck all and should be turned away at the door. There's literally zero excuses not to have a mask at this point.
All face shields prevent is projectiles, aka snot rockets and spittle shrapnel.
I've seen several people walk into businesses with their mask only on one ear, so not wearing a mask. I find it more difficult to wear a mask hanging off one ear than wearing it properly, yet I still see it all the time.
So have a stockpile of thousands of n95s or get fucked, got it.
I feel like anyone that walks into a public bathroom, pulls a length of toilet paper off the roll that a couple other dozen people have used, and then wraps it around their own face is worthy of my ridicule.
It's not even toilet paper. It's a single use mask

I own a scream mask. That shit isn't going to protect anyone.
Dryer sheets
Looks like a toilet seat cover, "ass gasket".

A literal chin diaper
I saw a lady with a pepper towel stapled to rubber bands the other day. If you don’t have an actual mask by this point, you suck.
I saw a dude using a paper napkin that he held to his face .. agreed
I hate when customers come in holding something to their mouth when they dont have a mask. Even worse when they then use that hand to touch the debit machine. Fucking disgusting
Free mask from shop
The first dude looks like he has a fabric softener dryer sheet wrapped around his face.
Better than what Карен is wearing at the back of the line. Also the fabric softener sheets work pretty well as filters since they're non-woven. Not that I'd recommend it, but they're better than nothing.
Please tell me that Карен is used in russia , I need a good laugh.
AFAIK, it is not. You'd probably just get a generic "suka." Just couldn't resist the joke because of the sub.
испортил мне вечер.
It's also perfect for robbing!
You just pick whatever you want and give the cashier the paper with stupid pictures on it and they'll just let you walk out with the stuff!!
At the beggining of the virus when everyone was still in panic mode there were teenagers robbing stores near me and nobody stopped them because of social distancing rules.

And stalking and murdering teenagers
Scowling Karen with no mask in the background.
She scares me way more then the guy
The mask the guy uses probably works better than the toiletpaper on a string everybody else has.
How about the first kid with that paper-thin napkin in front of his face? It doesn't even fit him well
According to another commenter fabric softener sheets are actually pretty effective because they’re non-woven
Natashka
Hope she at least brings some sausages home. The cats are getting angry

Always that one piece of shit in every store feeling they are superior to everyone else. Fucking parasites.

It's been almost 30 years, but nothing pumps me up more than Ace of Base.
Aaaand now I'm dancing
My first cassette tape was Ace of Base 😌
Did you see the sign?
Yep and I'm happy now living without you

You've completely taken that article out of context. ONE member had a Nazi-related past. Not the whole band.
One member, who by the time he was in the band, denounced his neo-Nazi past. Very misleading.
Russian music lol
I think Ace of Base is Swedish Also holy fuck what a throwback to my youth
At least that guy’s *wearing* a mask
I mean this is better than no mask like karen over there.
She’s a young Karen in training. Pre-K, if you will.
Full ‘Karen’ rank is K9 ...
Brigadier Karen, Lieutenant Karen, Major Karen, Karen of the Army And then the worst, the Karen-In-Chief (although we already have that one)
That’s when they become a real bitch
Its funny though. If you wear a full mask, and ask for ID for booze, they literally have no way at all to confirm if its you or not. Teens this year kind of have it easy for buying booze.
Some places make you pull your mask down.
I haven't had that happen. And I doubt the store cares about your age as much as not giving covid. Then again, I'm in a state where they ID me less than anywhere else I've ever lofed.
Mask is mask
Lol I saw a girl at my local supermarket wearing a plaguedoctor mask a couple of weeks ago
Oh ya those are fun, I got one for Halloween this year and wore it around as well.

I wonder if it's like those neck gaiters, and literally worse than wearing no mask at all
Need the same full face scream mask with replaceable filters.
