You see people walking around with masks on to prevent getting the swine fluand yet
thousands! of people are dying of aids and yet they arn’t wearing condoms. Hmm.
defently out of proportion
Why is everyone using this argument? Was some idiot ranting about this online or on tv cuz I’ve seen a bunch of other assholes using this argument, which I think is flawed.
You’re not going to *edited* everyone you see on the street, HOWEVER, you are going to touch the same doorknobs, shopping carts, ATMs, countertops, etc. And the flu is transmitted via coughing and sneezing. You’re most likely NOT going to catch AIDS from doing any of the same things that I just listed, or from having someone coughing or sneezing on you.
I’m not saying I’m gonna go around wearing a mask, but this argument just seems stupid to me. You can’t compare a sexually transmitted disease with something you can catch by standing next to a guy on the train or touching a contaminated surface. One is more easily transmissible.
