1. It doesn’t exist anymore
  2. It does exist, but it’s just another flu-like virus
  3. It’s much worse than the flu, but it only affected other people so far, so it won’t affect me

ample evidence exists to prove all 3 wrong

oh yea, the exotic chud response which they’ve conveniently memoryholed:
4) covid is fake and never existed

    Not an expert, but work in a hospital: I’ve always been told to ditch the disposals after a shift as the moist environment is a concern for bacteria. Definitely don’t reuse them.

    Cloth masks are less effective, so probably don’t use them in a high-risk environment. If you do, probably wash them after each use for the same reason as above.

    As far as environmental concerns: I promise you that a single hospital visit generates an order of magnitude more waste than any amount of masking will. It’s fine.
