Yes, but this is also allergy season for a lot of people. Allergy-generated sneezes + asymptomatic carrier = whole lot of infections.

WHO Says Healthy People Should Not Wear Face Masks...

I don't know.......

Third base!

I live in Cincinnati...the only ones I see wearing masks are near downtown and uptown near the university of Cincinnati, and Clifton, where all the granola and professor booksmart idiots reside. They wear masks because they all watch CNNMSNBCCBSABCCNBCBLOOMBERG.

Nuff said. No masks here.

LOL

I did the same thing one year in college for Halloween. Went as Death. Not the way to attract girls.

After seeing a few politicians wear their dirty days old mask up inside their nose instead of covering their noses I would agree.

Good point. Hope there aren’t stampedes when somebody sneezes at the store...

As long as you’re comfortable, that’s what matters, heck with the people you might unknowingly infect.

There’s a reason why there’s a bottle each of fexofenadine and loratidine pills on my desk and I take one each this time of year... And yeah, when someone sneezes in a store, people leave the area.

WHO rushing to spread more disinformation. Who believes WHO? No one with a functioning brain.

Loves off 1-70 Springfield, I was the only one wearing a mask. Even had 4 ladies in scrubs mulling around. Only observing social distancing at check out.

“Now I am convinced that face masks work...”

Since WHO is China’s BFF, I believe I won’t believe them. It benefits them when Americans get sick and die.

Vegetation is green now and with a few recent days near 80 that should get the pollen count to trend higher..

Wouldn’t the outside of a face mask after wearing it for a while have more toxins since it works like a vacuum cleaner bag.

Great graphic.

And Tedros came out of a communist political party in Ethiopia and likely had CCP backing at the time. He is the CCP’s pawn.

Common sense should tell them that even if most available mask do not filter out the viral pathogen, any kind of covering that prevents or reduces the amount of sputum from persons is going to at least reduce the viral load. Which load might influence how severe an infection will be, all other things being equal.

As for false sense of security, based on that logic seat belts should not be worn.
