"We've learned more due to research and additional scientific evidence and now we know [that] not only wearing a mask prevents the person wearing the mask to transmit to others, but wearing the mask protects the person who's wearing it," said Dean Blumberg, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at UC Davis Children’s Hospital. "So the wearer of the mask, even the standard rectangular surgical masks...will decrease the risk of infection by the person wearing the mask by about 65 percent."

then you just delay when you get it, because you WILL get it, everyone will. Sorry, that’s just the way it is.

Look at your local hospitals... if they have room.. now is a great time to go ahead and expose yourself.

[Two layers of quilting cloth are probably best. A pocket for a HEPA filter can also be part of the design but might require exhalation valves for some.]

So if a maskless person would have gotten it in two days, it’s now six.

“When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences—people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.” - Dr Anthony Fauci

65%? Impressive. However I’m at least 85% sure I’ve already had the Corona virus back in February.

Fauci took his glasses on and off and on and off and fiddled and fiddled every time he thought he was off camera. Such a phony.

that’s called hope. It’s what politicians sell to the masses to keep them from panicking.

JFYI there has never been a single vaccine for any coronavirus.

Yet somehow, after going out every damn day to wander around what little stores were left open, and not wearing a mask or scrubbing my hands bloody from the very get-go, I am still here and fine.

Pretty sure I’m not superhuman.

/even surer this was all crap.

[[will decrease the risk of infection by the person wearing the mask by about 65 percent.”]]

So If We’re out and exposed to the virus for 100 minutes, we’ll be protected for the first 65 minutes, but not the remaining 45 minutes?

or is this the scenario? if 100 virus agents hit the mask, 65 will be blocked but 45 make it through?

or- or or

According to the article linked below, Moderna in the U.S.A. is not one of the five companies using cell lines derived from human fetuses for a COVID-19 vaccine. The following is interesting, though.

Exactly. I don’t think we will have a working vaccine.
