Other than a vaccine, this virus doesn’t stop until there’s universal mask usage. We’ll learn that one way or the other.

Once I’ve had it and recovered, do I need to wear a mask?

ya. masks are an answer just like democrats are the answer.

no one knows how to wear one properly, everyone is using their dirty hands to adjust, remove, replace them. I watched my own governor (tim walz) hold one in his hand for 15 minutes, rub it on the podium, handle a remote and use the mask as a pointer during a press conference and PUT IT BACK ON!

very very very few are wearing a mask that offers any protection (the n95)

the homemade ones are ineffective at best, and germ factories at worst.

14) One other note - in countries like Taiwan that know how to fight Coronavirus, they check temperatures of everyone, every time they enter a business (along with ratting them out if they are sick). They know they won’t catch carriers that do not yet have a fever, but I suspect those who do have a fever are spewing out far more virons than non-fever carriers, so if you stop those with a fever, you’ve cut 90 to 99% of the virons for a given environment - and then add masks (for all people) and you can pretty much assure that no one picks it up in the community...which has been the case in those countries. Social distancing also has the same effect as masks, reducing the concentration of virons being breathed by others, if a person is a carrier. If you’re outdoors and 6 feet away from a carrier - assuming that the carrier isn’t sneezing on you, you’re safe, easily.

15) So, a multi-faceted approach to this virus would be the following:

a) Identify carriers with symptoms and get them off the streets (via massive temperature checking)

b) Trace and quarantine close contacts with identified carriers

c) Require the use of masks for all people in public

d) Put in place social distancing to avoid unnecessary risks due to high concentrations of people

They’re also really into washing hands and sanitizing, but I’m not sure that’s a big factor for Coronavirus.

I see you have commievirus disease.
