As political forces in the United States push for strict mask mandates to fight the spread of the coronavirus, new guidance issued by the World Health Organization undermines the lefts claim that people must be forced to wear the protective equipment in public.
The WHO posted the updated recommendations in a Wednesday tweet.
This most recent change, which outlines when people should not wear a mask in public, follows months of inconsistent information from the group about face coverings.
...
People should NOT wear masks when exercising, the WHOs update reads, as masks may reduce the ability to breathe comfortably.
When wet with sweat, the organization explained, masks become more difficult to breathe through. It said unmasked people should keep a distance of at least one meter from others while exercising.
...
the globes top health organization is OK with maskless people being about 3 feet apart in public something that is now against the law in Washington state.
...
WHOs disastrously inconsistent guidelines.
If you are healthy, the organization wrote in February, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with suspected [COVID-19] infection.
...
In late May, more than two months after the WHO declared a global pandemic, it was still recommending that only the sick and those taking care of the infected should wear masks.
...
WHO failed the world with its ineptitude and favoritism toward China.
Even now, the global health group is unable to make a consistent recommendation on the seemingly simple subject of face coverings.
It appears as though the WHO isnt quite the corps of experts and policymakers Democrats seem to think it is.

We won’t get fooled again!
An excellent question.
And let's add test kits that provide false positives/inaccurate, plus politicians lying, misleading the people in order to deny them their Constitutional rights, falsely imprison them in their homes, wreck their businesses, deny them the right to practice their religion, inflict stress and psychological harm-Can these be grounds for lawsuits as well?
As well as denying them the right to get effective treatment (HCQ plus zinc), which resulted in folks losing their loved ones for absolutely no reason other than governors in those states hated Trump so badly that they would rather 10’s of 1000’s die for no reason than for Trump to get any credit whatsoever for suggesting an effective cheap treatment for the virus
There should be a massive lawsuit for victim’s families over this
We shoudl be seeing advertisements on TV for lawyers saying:
“Have you or a lvoed one suffered or died because your state govenror refused to allow you to get the Drug HCQ along with zinc, knowing full well it could have saved your loved one’s life?
Is so, call (fill in the blank), right now to get a free consultation. You could be owed millions due to the negligence, and recklessness, and depraved indifference to human life committed by your governor”
Someone must have, because the Texas mask rule says you don't have to wear a mask when exercising.
“The Left lies about stuff that is true.”
Like that old joke about the guy who would tell the truth once a month or so, just so he could lie his way out of it.
WHO guidance: Healthy people should wear masks only when ‘taking care of’ coronavirus patients.
How you do this for yourself is your decision. You know you better than anyone. Its your call.
I wear hearing protection around loud noise because my hearing is very susceptible to damage from loud sounds, butI only wear hearing protection when I am in a noisy and potentially harmful situation.
It blocks the loud and painful damaging sounds, but it still allows enough sound to pass through for my ears to work so I can function normally.
For those most susceptible to the latest virus, a mask would perform a similar function.
Wearing a mask while in a potentially harmful environment would block, for example, the full blast of someones aerosols, but would still allow enough to pass through for the persons immune system to work so they can function normally.
The full blast, whether of sound or aerosols, would be too much, but a little coming through keeps things functioning as designed.
The ultimate goal is immunity for all of us and the sooner the better so we and life can function normally again!
We are social beings and sooner or later we need herd immunity If we want to be a part of the herd.
And we do ... social isolation, however well intended, is not healthy.
The US Constitution is not - yet repealed by Mayors nor Governors .. >> shall make no law abridging the right of the people to peaceably assemble
Effectiveness of Surgical Masks Against Influenza Bioaerosols
...The results demonstrated limitations of surgical masks in this context, although they are to some extent protective.
Herd immunity happens when a large percentage of a population .. ~ 80% .. becomes immune..
Social distancing and masks prevents prompt herd immunity..
Cant wait to celebrate tomorrow! Going to an illegal fireworks party on the water and masks are required to be pinned to lapel, if possible, to show our virtue to each other and how much we care about that granny Inslee keeps talking about.
But ... you want herd immunity sooner, not later.
However, how individuals get there is a personal choice and a personal experience.
Choose wisely, sure, lets share what we know, but let thou choose for thee and Ill choose for me, deal?
Freedom is kinda cool that way. We should embrace it.
Bump
Near the bottom of this page, the WHO has a very good article discussing the pros and cons of masks. It is a 16 page pdf file:
Worth reading. They make it clear that if you can keep THREE FEET (1 meter, 3.3 feet) separation, and are not in a hospital, that a mask is not needed. At all. But it is a well-written, reasonable article with a lot of citations from reputable medical journals. Well worth the time IMHO!
BTW - I wouldn’t trust squat from the WHO if given as a pronouncement. But their paper is logical and cites the evidence. I respect THAT!
I saw an Asst. Mng. or some kind of team leader look at me and kind of get closer for a better look, but not a word from him.
Probably got a pic and he'll take it up with the Frozen Food cell leader.
The 1 meter rule has been with the WHO over several months yet our leaders require 2 meters. Apparently, 2 meter distancing is needed so that drones can correctly identify the person it is lifting a temp from and shouting an order directed at you.
Colloidal silver? Sure, if you want to look like a Smurf.
That dude is a complete fraud put out by the federal government years ago everybody knows it and youre a moron for posting it if you dont believe me Google colloidal silver
