AND FOR THOSE WHO HOARD SURGICAL MASKS...
CLAIM: Surgical masks protect against the new coronavirus.
THE FACTS: Medical masks alone cannot protect against being infected with the new coronavirus. WHO advised that the masks should be worn by those showing symptoms of coughing and difficulty breathing, so they don’t spread disease to others. There is no evidence that masks protect people who are not sick.

Why do we see every healthy healthcare worker wearing a mask?
That applies to a medical or surgical mask. What about the N95 mask that would be protective against a virus, at least that's what's been said at least since the bird flu scare around 2006.
The reality is that the CoronVirus is an economic terror weapon unleash from a lab by Xi Xinping.
This is a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY and he should be executed for it.
I had done pussyfooting around with them. The ChiComs are not to be trusted and are our ENEMY in every sense of that word.

Hmmm, it would seem then, if you wore the mask back to front, you’d be protected from infected people.
Exactly...same reason surgeons wear masks when operating - to keep from infecting the patient.
I am sorry, but that is so bogus. Whoever claimed that medical masks “alone” protect against it?
One can quibble about their efficacy, but when you see those crowds of people in close contact, it is reasonable to assume even a basic mask could provide some protection. You don’t want sneeze droplets from someone who’s infected dropping into your open mouth.
