Germany - President of the Medical Association appeals to German population: “Wear protective masks in public spaces”
Top news (16:37): President of the Medical Association Klaus Reinhardt has appealed to the population to wear protective masks: “My advice: Get simple protective masks or make your own and wear them in public space,” said the President of the German Medical Association (BAEK ) of the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung” (NOZ). “These masks do not guarantee protection against infection. But they can help a little to reduce the risk of infecting others or being infected yourself.”
Good news from Germany.
That may get the attention of some folks on this side of the pond...
But, but....wait....I thought we were told that masks don’t protect We the Plebs.
What the heck is going on?
This is the key thing we can learn from China.
Forcing everyone to wear a mask, even on pain of death, was instrumental in stopping the spread of the virus in China.
I don’t see how we can start putting people back to work without masks being available for everyone.
The masks aren’t for you to avoid getting the virus, they are for everyone you contact so you, as an asymptomatic spreader of the virus, infect as few people as possible.
