Don't feel bad Wpin. I can think and understand the CDC report in the context of other reports they have published, the actual science, etc. You seem stuck in a purely literal reading of the report, and are just repeating the literal words in the report without applying the facts that the CDC reports sets out. That's right out of the Jen Psaki playbook.

Being able to think, and apply the facts from a report by the CDC is something the rest of the readers of the posts can do. Don't worry about them, they won't be "mislead". You are just confused, or shilling for some reason.

You just proved my point friend...think about what you just wrote and my assertion. If, you are going to report on a report you have a responsibility to reflect what it says accurately...if you disagree with the experts then state why afterwards. But, misleading people about what a report says is not an honest thing...

You are spinning like Ms. Psaki.

Do you honestly believe that the kind of cloth masks kids wear in school stop airborne viruses? The CDC doesn't.

Do you realize people who speak like you sound like lunatics? It simply isn’t true, just bullshit distorted to suit a fringe mentality.Of course masks offer protection...100%? No, of course not...neither do armored vests, seat belts, etc. But, to think they make no difference is at best very ignorant.

No, what is actually ignorant is to think that masks that were never intended to stop virus sized aerosols would actually stop virus sized aerosols. Try to find some data which actually shows a reduction in COVID transmission as a result of mask usage. It is a lot harder to find that data than you think it is.

Some people fetishize masks. But don't think that your cloth or flimsy medical mask will protect you from an airborne virus. It won't. You need to at least wear a well fitted N-95 mask, and preferably a full face forced flow respirator.

Your analogies to something offering "some protection" aren't relevant. By your test wearing a 1" diameter pendant might offer some protection from gunfire. It does, but not enough to matter. Wearing a cloth mask that reduces your infection risk by 2 percent or some such number is a waste of time and effort.

So go and wear your mask everywhere. But don't fool yourself into thinking it does much to protect you unless you are properly wearing an N-95 mask or respirator.

In that case follow the CDC recommendations for masking when exposed to a hazardous aerosol virus:

"...an appropriate respiratory protection device, such as a half-mask air-purifying (or negative-pressure) respirator with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter or a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) with HEPA filters. Follow local and state requirement regarding pulmonary function and fit testing before beginning any work requiring the use of a respirator."

"Personal protective gear should be decontaminated upon removal at the end of the day. All potentially infective waste material (including respirator filters) from clean-up operations that cannot be burned or deep-buried on site should be double-bagged in appropriate plastic bags. The bagged material should then be labeled as infectious (if it is to be transported) and disposed of in accordance with local requirements for infectious waste."

Just continue distorting facts and lying...but I am bored with you so I am not playing with you anymore...tata
