The WHO says on their site via a document:
"there is currently no evidence that wearing a mask (whether medical or other types) by healthy persons in the wider community setting, including universal community masking, can prevent them from infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19."
And that masks may cause:
self-contamination that can occur by touching and reusing contaminated mask
depending on type of mask used, potential breathing difficulties
false sense of security, leading to potentially less adherence to other preventive measures such as physical distancing and hand hygiene
diversion of mask supplies and consequent shortage of mask for health care workers
diversion of resources from effective public health measures, such as hand hygiene
Because those are hospital grade masks, not makeshift and bandannas which are useless.
So sick of this gobbledy gook, every day is more BS.
“If they dont work”
They ONLY work if of the right type and are donned and doffed properly.
The general public is showing their lack of education or intelligence considering what they wear, how they wear it, and how they don and doff the thing.
But, it makes people feel good about themselves and others who wear such useless instruments. Magical Masks.

So, the WHO has joined CNN et al. amongst the forces of evil.
Anyone know of study of Asians vs US cities like NYC or Detroit, comparing annual Flu levels? Since Asians tend to mask up more...
“reusable bags”
Those filthy, disgusting, gross, dirt bags?? Yes, I am talking about the bags and not the dirty bags that use them.
I am disgusted by the dumpsters people bring in as “reusable bags”. The same disgusting hippie that wears a fake mask has the dirtiest bags, caked in dirt and filth.
“If you have a light case and wear a mask you are likely adding to whats in your system via the backwash in your breathing. Breathing fresh air is better for you.”
Knock off the reality.
Those Masks will bring one back for the dark side by just wearing them.
Ok a proper effective mask yet you can get in to a store with any bs over your face. It is comical. Either the correct masks are provided or it is a joke. Then, who wears gloves?
A substantial percentage never get the cough.
Suddenly WHO is trying to be helpful. Good timing.
Same with many other illnesses. You cannot always tell who has what. Have we always worn masks because of that?
It is a respiratory virus. Of course wearing a mask is helpful. The advice not to wear a mask is just like the situation at the WTC on 911 when the building announced over the loudspeakers that people did not need to evacuate. Many people died who stayed.
Take what ever the WHO says as not true. Follow your own gut instincts.

If you have a mask on at least you are not spraying droplets all over other people. That seems worth doing.
reverse psych
My wife has been yelling at me to wear a mask when I go out. Okay, so I wear a mask. Keep her happy. Its all nonsense. A few months from now this will be a distant memory.
Here you can be arrested if you don’t wear a mask in public. You also cannot go inside any business, grocery store, pharmacy, or use public transportation.
Only the N95 mask helps against the Wuhan virus.
