As political forces in the United States push for strict mask mandates to fight the spread of the coronavirus, new guidance issued by the World Health Organization undermines the left’s claim that people must be forced to wear the protective equipment in public.
The WHO posted the updated recommendations in a Wednesday tweet.
This most recent change, which outlines when people should not wear a mask in public, follows months of inconsistent information from the group about face coverings.
...
“People should NOT wear masks when exercising,” the WHO’s update reads, “as masks may reduce the ability to breathe comfortably.”
When wet with sweat, the organization explained, masks become more difficult to breathe through. It said unmasked people should keep a distance of “at least one meter” from others while exercising.
...
the globe’s top health organization is OK with maskless people being about 3 feet apart in public — something that is now against the law in Washington state.
...
WHO’s disastrously inconsistent guidelines.
If you are healthy,” the organization wrote in February, “you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with suspected [COVID-19] infection.”
...
In late May, more than two months after the WHO declared a global pandemic, it was still recommending that only the sick and those taking care of the infected should wear masks.
...
WHO failed the world with its ineptitude and favoritism toward China.
Even now, the global health group is unable to make a consistent recommendation on the seemingly simple subject of face coverings.
It appears as though the WHO isn’t quite the corps of experts and policymakers Democrats seem to think it is.

I wear my mask in the form of a ribbon that I wear on my lapel to signal my virtue.
What does faucci command?
I believe life-long government “worker, fauci “commands” the Isle of Nitwits.
The science is not at all settled on these Masks!
The opinion changes faster than a new pair of windshield wipers.
Somebody tell Gov. Abbott and VP Pence.
whatever it is, the creature in Transylvania knows better.
The Left is gaslighting us, and they have been for long time. They tell a lie on Trump or another GOP, then after it is PROVED that their lie is false, they continue to tell the lie and call us the liars. They gaslight gaslight gaslight! They are good at projection and gaslighting. They are the narcissists. They are malignant narcissists. The professional psychologists tell their clients to stay clear of narcissists
And I wouldn't rely on the WHO for anything regardless.
The Left lies about stuff that is true.
Fun to watch Fauci and journ-0-lists only wear a mask when the TV cameras are on — then immediately remove the mask - when they think the cameras are turned off.
Do Not wear a mask
Like a broken clock the WHO is right on this one
Masks are stupid and don’t do anything unless you’re a surgeon and operating room or you’re trying to protect yourself from air pollution
They don’t and won’t stop this or pretty much any virus and you can avail yourself of many other ways to combat this and other viruses such as colloidal silver
If you live in some stupid Democrat jurisdiction requiring masks just tie a bandanna around your neck when you go in the store and that flies
Masks are indeed stupid and so is Certified Moron Jay Inslee, our governor, who has MANDATED them. Can’t get into the supermarket without one. If you don’t have one, they hand you one at the door.
I suppose we’ll all have to wear them at our ILLEGAL July 4th picnic. As if.
Can people sue their local governments if they get health issues from being forced to wear a mask?
bttt
Goovenair Henry should find out.
Chronic coughs are from diseased masks always being worn.
I’m still amazed at the amount of people I see wearing them in thier cars, driving alone.
Crazy.
Tell this to Governor Fred Flintstone in Illinois.
