And where are all these masks going to come from? There aren’t enough for those who truly need them.
Fortunately at this point it’s all just recommendations
Many more people are going to get killed in the U.S. because we aren’t wearing masks. Many, many more.
I have been deemed to be one of the essentials by my employer. I hve been using a bandana to cover my face from the beginning, Last week each of us were given 2 sets of gloves. Today each of us was given one mask. I visit about 5 businesses a day in the course of my duties.
“a person who may or may not be infected wants to prevent infecting someone else, one of the best ways to do that is with a mask”
How about making cheap tests available for the home user, so that a person knows if they can even infect somebody else in the first place ? So instead we wont have to wear masks , we can save the effort for eyeglass if we really want to mandate people wear something on their face to reduce deaths , such as better visibility to reduce car accidents which account for way more deaths ?
Really? I think this is getting rather silly. I think it would be prudent to find out what percentage of the population is carrying antibodies.
I have a very small number of masks from a box I bought a couple years ago. I’ve been wearing them when I go to the store, but I re-use them. I guess some protection is better than none.
This briefing today is a CYA propaganda blitz. They are jumping through hoops to justify destroying this economy because New York and New Jersey have too many people and not enough disaster planning. Brix and Fauci are painting themselves as heroes if they can hold deaths to 100,000, as their CDC was sleeping at the switch for years.
About time. It is incredibly hypocritical for doctors to say that they alone should be protected with them, that we should not be wearing them and protecting ourselves. Elitism is obnoxious
Fauci is always playing “up the President”.
Whatever happened to “masks really don’t help that much” from a couple of weeks ago? Did some politician’s brother-in-law start a mask-making factory?
So masks are good today, eh?
I bought a bunch of big headband-type things from Amazon. The are really versatile and come in male and female colors, and are stretchy.
If they start requiring them I am just going to wear one around my neck and pull it up when I go out. I will look like a Wild West bandit, but at least it is something.
I found a box of N95 masks we had in the garage, and no I’m not going to be wearing them for corona.
Masks prevent you from giving it to someone else not you from everyone else.
If they mandate them, I refuse to go out of the house.
I swear I heard the Surgeon General say that masks for the masses was/is not effective....
That was this (TUES) morning on WMAL/DC
NOW, since we are in such short supply I can see the ‘masters’ saying ANYONE on the street or out of the house WITHOUT a mask will be arrested on the spot.
They are clearing out the jails so they will have room to lock up people in public WITHOUT a mask.
I thought there were very stringent laws inre wearing masks in public??
‘WE’ could all make a game of it and wear Ronald Reagan or PDJT masks...that will get the snowflakes ‘melting’ in a hurry.....
Yet Fauci and everyone in the room was NOT wearing a mask.
Actions speak more than words...
