FACT: It is illegal in the United States to sell, offer for sale or promote via any means that touches interstate commerce (which would include any communications form that crosses a state line) any drug or device intended to treat, prevent or cure any disease or disorder of the human body without proof in the form of random clinical trials which are then submitted and analyzed by the FDA. This is controlled under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (Title 21 USC.) The government goes after sellers of supplements and devices on this basis all the time. The law is crystal clear in this regard; both safety and efficacy must be scientifically proved, reviewed and then formally approved by the FDA

Ask a Democrat what a nanometer is. You'll get a blank stare. Math is hard.
It's why they like advanced degrees that depend on individual opinion. They don't actually have to prove anything, and it's not reproducible.
Bkmrk.
I had to go to the hospital today for a pre-op covid test..that they are billing my insurance for. They gave me a mask at the front entry that I held in my hand and never did put on. Nobody said a word till it was time to leave and I was headed out the front door.
Im glad to have some medical ammunition in the form of laws. I’m fed up with this stupid nonsense. I see all people pull their masks off when folks leave and hurriedly put them on when people come around.
I eill quickly praise you when you do right and well, but I will also verbally chastise you for BS.
For a law to be effective and lawful it has to meet a standard.
Coverings meet ZERO standard and I have been telling everyone that a N95 has a standard but, the fraud givernment isn’t telling everyone to meet a standard that has some medical efficacy...
You have drank about ten gallons of leftist Koo-laid on this one. There is NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE THAT WEARING A PIECE OF THIN FABRIC OVER YOUR FACE PREVENTS OR EVEN LESSONS THE CHANCE OF TRANSMISSION OF COVID-19 FROM AN INFECTED PERSON. NONE, ABSOLUTELY NONE. All we have are unsupported “models” based on unproven assumptions. “SCIENCE” and has become a meaningless political term when used by leftists. I suggest that you try to find an actual study not relying on models to support the belief that has been stamped into you by the mainstream media and political activists.
Correct. Some links to back up your claim:

At present, there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID-19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.
And
At the present time, the widespread use of masks by healthy people in the community setting is not yet supported by high quality or direct scientific evidence and there are potential benefits and harms to consider...

It is also clear that masks serve symbolic roles. Masks are not only tools, they are also talismans that may help increase health care workers perceived sense of safety, well-being, and trust in their hospitals. Although such reactions may not be strictly logical, we are all subject to fear and anxiety, especially during times of crisis. One might argue that fear and anxiety are better countered with data and education than with a marginally beneficial mask, particularly in light of the worldwide mask shortage, but it is difficult to get clinicians to hear this message in the heat of the current crisis. Expanded masking protocols greatest contribution may be to reduce the transmission of anxiety, over and above whatever role they may play in reducing transmission of Covid-19. The potential value of universal masking in giving health care workers the confidence to absorb and implement the more foundational infection-prevention practices described above may be its greatest contribution.
Now go hump someone else's leg, I've got barbecue to attend to.
Well then there is a problem. How do you restrict Burqas, Hijabs etc as unlawful.
Really? You trust her?. Lets see the CDC controlled test. I’ll wait.
Yeah take that argument to the courts and see where it gets you.
Your understanding of science is astounding! That experiment by Sophi proves that wearing a mask made out of an old t-shirt face can protect a petri dish from getting moldy. Wow, Einstein... who'd a thunk it?

Were those people screened and given face masks to wear in route?
A homemade mask made from a piece of T-shirt fabric is basically a completely worthless piece of feel good nonsense
Straw-man assertion...enjoy the bonfire.
No, they were not “screened” on the way to the hospital, but we did our best to collect information about their situation, medical history and condition that were noted on reports that we gave to the hospital staff.
Most people who are having difficulty breathing will not tolerate a filter mask, but we did give many O2 masks that we could give albuterol treatments and other medications with.
There is nothing “straw man” about the assertion that the homemade masks are basically worthless... there is no evidence other than the types of parlor tricks that you provided that they do any good. And they do cause difficulties for some individuals.
