So, the Spanish docs went to the Pedo Joe Skool of Med-sin?
Why bother, MASKS DON’T WORK!
And there are a number of studies 10 -20 years ago testing the hypothesis that masks work, using hospital personnel with properly fitted N95 masks. Even under those conditions they didn’t keep ‘em from getting the flu.
Sooo many people think masks do work though. And soooo many that comply with anything they’re told.
Fool the Spanish people once, shame on the Spanish government.
Fool the Spanish people twice, shame on the Spanish people.
““Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids… There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.””

“Why bother, MASKS DON’T WORK!”
I think the rezoning is that doctors wear masks in surgery, therefore they prevent infection. Doctors wear masks because microscopic droplets of spit spray out when we talk. The mask catches them. But microscopic is orders of magnitude larger than viruses. Probably a difference on the order of between a baseball glove and a fly.
Politicians, who don’t know cow dung from shoe polish want to seem to be doing something. Therefore, they do something that seems logical from the perspective of the uneducated politician that makes it appear they do know something, and they are DOING something. They are preaching to the surprisingly common wearers of masks inside airconditioned cars. I’m still seeing that. After seeing the drivers of three EV’s in a row, driving alone while wearing masks, I’ve started paying attention. I’ll bet they also have coexist or similar bumper stickers.
But do N95 masks, properly fitted and worn, significantly reduce the risk that the person wearing the mask will spread the flu?
“Why bother, MASKS DON’T WORK!”
Do you really think this is about health and working masks??
If masks don’t ever work, why do surgeons where them?
good grief, these morons will NEVER stop with the lying about freaking masks!!!
I DARE anyone who believes in masks to go into a room full of airborne ebola with nothing but a mask from lowes on!
The only good reason to wear a mask is to rob a bank.
The best ones are rubber gorilla masks you can put on over your head.
They don’t wear them to stop viruses.
exactly, that is what they ALWAYS miss
Reality?
trying to stop a virus with a cloth mask is like trying to stop water with a chain link fence
Gotta miss Franco
