"Never in my life did I ever imagine that one day I'll be wearing a mask, entering a bank and asking for the money." ~ internet

FDA, CDC and WHO just approved Thoughty2's mustache as an efficient filtration device.

"Just a few more weeks people." - Gov. Officials

Well this is more informative than what the gov has put out

6:10 "You may be thinking that you rarely, if ever, touch your face." *_Is touching my own face as I watch_*

So basically if you stay away from people and don't talk to them and mind your own business you're good. Been doing that my whole life

A year later and KZfaq finally recommended this to me. Thanks KZfaq... This is the kind of information we need out in the world. Not politicized, showing sources and facts (not opinions), and telling people why it's good, but ultimately not saying everyone has to wear a mask-just that it is better for everyone if you do. Nice work.

Spot on T2. We need your lighhearted humour in these ridiculous times!

I asked my Doctor how much longer this pandemic would last. He replied: "how should i know? .... i'm not a politician."

I never would had imagine that my hands would had consumed more alcohol than my mouth.

After one whole year to the day I’m barely being recommended this video even though I’ve had notifications ON for Thoughty’s vids for years

I don't feel like I am in a pandemic so I googled the definition of pandemic and u are correct. Indeed we are. I also learned that according to that definition we have been in a pandemic the entire 43 years I've been here.

"Talking can spread Covid" Introverts who talk once a week to say hello to their cashier: "Maybe I was the mask all along"

soo this video has been blocked from my feed for 5 months? there’s no way i missed it for 5 months youtube be on some suspect ass shit

Years later, studies have actually been done on the efficacy of various masks in a variety of environments. Turns out they had "little to no benefit", but caused significant social devision and developmental issues. Perhaps the CDC/WHO/etc. should have used some of their budgets to test these things before mandating them.

Best part of it I saw in Lidl: guy roaming the shop with mask and gloves. He finished shopping, went to till, took off his gloves and paid with cash, putting gloves back...

It's sad when a youtuber does better public health messaging than medical "experts" and elected officials the world over.

A man walks into a bank wearing a mask. Everyone freaks out. “Relax” he says, “I’m just here to rob the place."

I like the idea of social distancing. Virus or no virus. I think people should respect and stay out of other people's "bubble"

My favourite moment was when we were allowed outside again, and I went Aldi everyone was disinfecting the trolleys... Very cautious... Then some kid just licked the trolly bar... His mum went sick I burst out laughing

All good bank robbers never leave home without one.

I love the way people pull their mask down to talk

If you can cough out Covid you can breathe in Covid

It amazes me how often people let their personal agendas, and the stories they tell themselves, get in the way of the information being delivered to them.

And never forget to wear your mask when driving alone in your car. You really are too close to yourself, and you wouldn’t want to catch it from yourself, would you?

"For obvious reasons that's not ethically possible" Sir, you underestimate how badly I need $100.

I’d still say that quite a few people don’t actually wear rubber gloves in a way that they were designed/intended for. I’ve seen an alarming number of people wearing those gloves and still touching phones, purses, cars, car keys, their face.. etc. That is the exact opposite thing you should be doing when you’re intent is to wear those gloves.

Johns Hopkins study said everything we did including social distancing reduced deaths by two tenths.....of one percent

I've worked in the building trades for over 20 years. I've used n95 the entire time. On the back of the box it states that n95 masks do not protect against disease, virus or infection. Now, if any n95 masks are available they no longer have that disclaimer on the back of the box. I'm not really for or against people wearing masks. I'm just stating what I know to be fact. I noticed an old box from n95 masks that were purchased in dec. 2019 in the work van from when the disclaimer was still on the box. I promptly took a picture of the box with the disclaimer. I've been reluctant to post the picture due to our current outrage culture. People will likely be offended by this simple truth.

My sister told me she saw a woman remove her mask to sneeze. Ah, that'll work!

Imagine, if you will, a disease so deadly, that you need to be tested to know you have it...

covid had many purposes one was to see how many people worldwide would comply with orders where no laws were made locally for it.

Italy here. 83% of Italians are wearing a mask because it was made compulsory by Government decree in March, with areas where they need to be worn at all times being constantly expanded. Nowadays, in Italy, being found not wearing a mask where and when mandated can cost you from a minimum of 300€ to a maximum of 6000€ in fines (and no, there's not an additional 0 in there), and you may also be subject to criminal prosecution. It has nothing to do with people learning, it has to do with people being forced to wear masks.

Video: «You probably touch your face, more than you realize”. My face: “So anyway I started itching”

I did not wear a mask, but stayed nearly two years without a job. Criminals rule the world.

Here’s all you need to know about the nature of Covid: whatever is most convenient for the government and NGO establishments will be the mainstream orthodoxy.

"Covid spreads even through talking" *MGSV theme*

This man is the master of creating clickbait titles without being obviously clickbait. Bravo Arran, Bravo.

Face-Masking is a penalty in professional American football. I rest my case.

The transmission rate increased when masking began. Transmission rate increased as vaccination rates increased. There were more cases this January than last January.

*I made one from asbestos. No Corona for me!*

If it wasn't for the media, we would have no clue that there is a global pandemic. Some global pandemic that is.

I live in Darwin Australia where we have still had no corona virus deaths or locally caught cases yet! We haven't had to lock down like everywhere else in the world. So now there are heaps of Aussies trying to move up here too.

Ask yourself, “ can you smell perfume though a mask ? …Yes?” …WELL THEY DON’T WORK DO THEY ?

The relevant question is: Why have public health officials like Dr. Fauci not made this video?

Thoughty2 doesn't need a mask, his mustache will protect him from the virus.

Watching this 1 year later. This video would definitely have been useful a year or so ago to cut through the FUD and other misinformation.

"Socialist" Distancing is very effective!

Question is why didn't face masks stop the spread in China who have worn them routinely for years?.

I know how this video ends because it is still on youtube

Contradicts every scientific study.

My deep respect for taking this one on! Learned more then from my own stupid government!

Just a daily reminder that if you can stand in a checkout line every week, you can definitely stand in line at an in person ballot.

"You rarely, if ever touch your face" Said right as I'm rubbing my eyes lol

79% of particles 0.3 to 1 micron in diameter? But viruses can be as small as 0.004 micron in diameter. So, 79% of something upwards of 250× larger doesn't really seem all that effective, does it?

The only masks that work are the ones that have been fitted to the size of your face. The fact that 90% ineffective use makes them pointless.

All the deadly virus contaminated masks, gloves, and disinfectant wipes but not one bio-hazard disposal in site. 🧐

“I’m not going to tell you weather you should wear a mask or not, it’s not my place to tell you.” That’s a breath of fresh air, thanks man

This is why I've stopped talking AND listening to people.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

We should all just wear hazmat suits and call it a day.

My father in law has a friend who owns a small business. He had ordered testing kits for his employees- but mostly to test the legitimacy. He and the rest of the 20 employees put their swabs in the test tubes to be sent- only they all decided to send the swabs unused. When they got the test results back, 16 out of the 21 employees came back with positive results for Covid-19. Just thought that might be interesting food for thought.

I wore masks when I left the house, I only caught covid back in the beginning, and I didn't get very sick. My husband wore them all the time when he was working. I have MS, and in 2021, I was started on an immunosuppressant treatment. I wasn't scared when hubby caught it and had brought it home. I wasn't scared to be sleeping next to him at night. I wasn't worried about having to care for him when he was really ill. The last time I wore on qas when I went to see my GP due to a bad cough. So bad that it'd keep me awake at night. However, when I went to the GP, he thanked me for wearing a mask. The tests I'd taken were all negative. Turns out, I had community acquired pneumonia! Hubby didn't catch it.

This has been a time when I’m grateful to be an introvert.

I'll wear a mask but there's no way I'm cutting up my Iron Maiden t-shirt.

How about a video about death rates worldwide compared to other diseases, average ages of deaths etc.

22:51 parallel to that part I was viewing a gif of a geologist collecting lava samples - I love it when things line up like this.

If... up to 50% are completely asymptomatic, and a much larger % show very few, (and not deadly) symptoms, then what's the threat? Their acting like if you have it, you're a deadly threat to anyone around you.

Don't attend large gatherings even if you're wearing a mask... So like the protests/riots?

Ever worn a mask for 8-9 hours a day 5 days a week while doing more than sitting at a desk or other stationary work? It isn't anywhere near what I would call a minor inconvenience.

Wrong. Constant testing will just create a whole world of hypochondriacs.

The only useful thing about a facemask is that they are good if you are doing a dusty grinding job as i was doing the other day. They are also handy if you're sawing wood to prevent you breathing in dangerous particles.

They need to do studies on the people that are forced to wear masks in factory settings. The place i work we are crammed shoulder to shoulder With just 1 break while working up to 10 hours. When you are doing very physical work it does not take long for the mask to become soaked and then fell like you are being waterboarded. Then you have the very poor air quality and such a loud environment that you have to yell constantly to get other peoples attention when needed. And even when you want to talk with someone the mask muffles your voice to the point you either yell or pull it from your face. This all makes wearing masks at my factory a complete mental misadventure and can cause more harm then good.

I keep thinking of all the masks in landfills and the lakes and oceans, with animals getting them caught around their necks or bodies....just started ripping the ear loops on mine before throwing them away

I personally dont no one person who had covid ???the hospital is empty ??so what's going on?

I didn't mind wearing the thing during the winter. Not only did I not get the virus but didn't "catch " a cold or the flu. So yeah there's that as well.

I give it 8-10 months before hes in a full suit with monocle and top hat

I just stopped going to Wal-Mart & french kissing everyone I could grab hold of. Problem solved, duh.

I wear it just in case... plus despite the fact that I'm a 35 year old mother, I enjoy putting on a black hoodie with a black mask and pretending to be a fictional villian 🤣🤣🤣

Ain't nothing can get through my tinfoil mask

Okay, so if the outside of your mask will be contaminated (makes sense), therefore you shouldn't touch it, what about the rest of your clothes? Won't they be equally saturated? How are you going to be able to remove any part of exposed outer clothing without producing the same result as touching the outside of your mask?

My wife and I both had it. She brought it home from her work, where mask are mandatory, along with daily cleaning and hand sanitizer everywhere. I'm not sold on mask.

Google sponsored this video eh? Hmm "Move along please nothing to see here"

Not a single peer reviewed study...ignored now.

Me: Masks don't cut off oxygen intake to our lungs. Brain: I know. Me: Then why the hell do you make me feel like I'm being force choked?!

Your speech pacing has drastically reduced. It certainly makes it easier to understand you.

It's been almost two years. I've still not met or known a single person to have had it. Just saying...

Now it's nearly 2 years later. Curious if you've change opinions on anything? Part 2?

“Then they may as well be walking around, licking lampposts.” needs to be a bumper sticker

I’m going to have to go around wearing a old divers mask and be like “it’s a mask?”

They case carbon dioxide build up- wearing them gives you a sore throat and other issues....

This information hasn't aged well.

"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary security, deserve neither Liberty nor Security." ~Benjamin Franklin

I'm always skeptical especially of governments that do things "for the greater good", because that is usually what they use to take away your freedoms and justify their totalitarian rules

Right now, infections from the air is at 1% which is nothing and they still force them to the public.

Is it wrong for a 52 Yr old woman to be thinking... Damn thoughty is cute!

I was all about wearing masks, especially since I'm high-risk. (Both for age and pre-existing conditions.) Because of my personal risk I did take my zinc and vitamin d and I had a prescription for HCQ in a drawer in my bathroom, to be taken at the first sign of symptoms. Two things happened to me to end my mask wearing. First, I had an issue after spending a couple of hours in a mask. I was at the hospital for a series of appts and had to spend a longer time than usual in my mask. I was fine. Right as rain, then all of a sudden I couldn't catch my breath. I started gasping and each breath felt like I was drowning. I ripped off my mask and tried to catch my breath. A nurse saw my plight and ran over to me with a surgical mask. She told me to wear the one she gave me instead and reassured me that I was going to be alright. I was baffled. "I don't know what just happened!" She said that after too much time in a good mask the mask becomes damp. Suddenly it's like trying to breathe through a wet rag. It happens fast and she'd seen this several times, especially in older folks. The second thing that happened is that I got covid. And it was the flu. A long, annoyingly lingering flu, but a simple flu none the less. I've had worse viruses - never one that lasted as long as this one did - but I've been much sicker than that. One of my doctors told me that I still had to wear a mask and take precautions and I asked him why. He said, "You can catch it again." I said, "And if I do, so what? I'll have another mild flu? You expect me to give up my normal life forever and live in fear for that?!" I can't keep living in fear anymore. Maybe I just got lucky. Maybe the zinc and high vitamin D status helped. Maybe the HCQ worked for me. For whatever the reason, I'm fine and I have no reason to believe that I have anything to fear at this point. I do absolutely believe that a lot of people are getting very sick and I'm sure several are dying from covid. (Although I'm really stunned that nobody is talking about the sudden absence of flu deaths. After being plagued by that family of viruses since our species became a species, you'd think that this would be something to get excited about. Thankfully, because the flu isn't killing anyone that looks like it's kind of leveling out the covid deaths so we're really none the worse for wear.) But your mileage may vary, but I'm over it at this point. I'm moving on with what's left of my life now. After all, I already have a terminal diagnosis. I've been aware of my ticking clock for a couple of years now. I'm not wasting another minute on this nonsense.

Rip us people with glasses not touching the mask :(

Soon we will be wearing jumpsuits as in 1984.

The CDC now admits that cloth masks are useless. The reason: There is a world wide push for N95 masks now.
