CDC begs to difer.
They're not 100% protection. But even a grade school kid, would conclude that masks block some of the particles. And if everyone wears them, that two layers of protection.
Fewer particles, less likely you get a severe case, if you get sick at all.
They were against them before they were for them before they were against them.
And now I guess they’re for them.
I wonder if the restricted fresh air to one’s lungs poses any health issues.
Anything to keep the populace freaked out. If you’re sick, stay home. Or if you cough and sneeze a lot, wear a mask...but don’t require it.
Yeah, they pretty much nailed it in January and February when they said the china virus was nothing to worry about. And they are totally credible regarding HCQ/Z Pack/Zinc. /s
The CDC? I couldn’t be more impressed if it came right from the mouth of the WHO!
BTW - the county I live in has a population of 1,000,000. To date, we’ve had around 70 deaths, and 40 of those were in nursing homes. So outside of nursing homes? 30 deaths out of 1,000,000.
It ain’t “just the flu” but it sure as heck isn’t instant death!
Mandatory burkas for everyone!
A lot like filtering sand through a chain link fence.
CDC screwed up all testing in the beginning of this thing, CDC a completely USELESS organization as is the rest of government I don’t give a rats behind what the hell their guidelines are!!!
I cannot breathe well with them on. (just a bandana) Claustrophobia does not help. Today’s shopping trip was uncomfortable.
Nope. Nope. Nopeity nope
Most are not worn correctly. Most are never cleaned. All a mask really does is protect others from you...... maybe
Wash your hands.
It’s to appease us and make us think we are safe, and to force us all to carry the flag of repression, visible signs over our mouths that we have willingly bowed down in submission to our governments.
Some less willingly than others.
Face masks are actually the high-tech version of social (physical) distancing. That is the greatest reason for wearing them — and not as these “experts” are proclaiming, that they are not a substitute for social distancing. They are far superior to it.
The reason for maintaining a six foot distance from others is that in case someone sneezes, coughs, spits, or breathes rigorously (exercising) into the air — six feet may be enough space to protect against that fallout. Otherwise, there is nothing magical about six feet of distance protecting one from the “aura” or “vibes” from someone infected — or even if not.
Hopefully, one will be wise enough to avoid one sneezing or spitting on them — unlike a lot of doctors with Ph.D.s in epidemiology. If they do, there is protection regardless of who is wearing them, and even better if both do — because the important thing is not to breathe in the contaminated air from another’s lungs. That works because there is actual matter (material) between the two not allowing a straight shot into another’s respiratory system.
But some researchers have done tests to show that a vigorous expellation can travel as much as 20-30 feet, or whatever is the record for spitting. But if one is wearing a mask of any tangible construction, it won’t get through. Likewise, if I wanted to retaliate, my mask would prevent me from reaching them — and if we both are wearing one, it is the acknowledgement that any attempt to harm another in that manner — even if we wanted to, would be futile.
Apparently in the circles the Sturgeon General, CDC, and WHO matriculate in — they are in imminent danger of others sticking their fingers up their noses and mouths — after coming out of the restrooms, and so one should wash their hands vigorously, obsessively, and compulsively in case the other person didn’t — and that will make things even out — in their world of equal outcomes for everyone no matter what they do.
But that’s obviously not how the real world works — and that seems to be ignored with all their edicts — and then absurd rationalizations. There are actually many countries that have the virus under control — and the masks are primarily the reason for that success, because they are effective.
Meanwhile, we are all directed not to wear masks — so we can all get infected, and then Bill Gates will have a captive audience for the vaccine he intends to deliver in 2-3 years, or maybe never. Right after the anti-virus software.
The CDC did differ at the beginning of this sham, telling us that masks don’t work, so don’t stock up on masks. You can say it was because they needed them for medical staff, but if they don’t work then how do they help medical staff? Fauxi first said this virus was mild and we had nothing to worry about, then it was on par with the Black Death. At this point, a governor could decree that his/her medical experts advise him that everyone should drink their own pee to prevent the virus from infecting them and within an hour half the state and many others would be walking around with piss breath. Talk about mindless herd mindset. The non-medical masks are just particle collectors and the particles including any virus will work its way through and into your lungs.
The CDC also said we would have 2 million deaths They are a political organization pushing an agenda
If I were some nefarious party that wanted to keep people scared and compliant, I would absolutely have people wearing masks everywhere, lest they forget for even one second that Death, DEATH!, waits for them at every turn should they have the audacity to take even the most tepid first step out of their doors.
I have seen people around here jogging and walking by themselves down empty streets, dutifully wearing their masks. There will always be many more sheep than there are shepherds.
I often observe mask wielding lemmings driving....alone in there car.
I’ll bet you that if you were able to take a survey of those with and without masks, the overwhelming majority of mask wearers would be flaming conformist socialists.
I’m recalling the old “tricky dicky” cartoon, and wondering how many people will get, ummm, cartoonish masks. Like say, the trunk of an elephant with a double chin.
