Fauci urges governments to be 'as forceful as possible' on mask rules
Fox News ^ | 7/17/20 | Marisa Schultz

Posted on 07/17/2020 5:10:11 PM PDT by conservative98

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday state and local government leaders should be "as forceful as possible" in urging the wearing of face masks to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus, which the top infectious disease expert says is still in the first wave in the United States and has hit Americans "very severely."

Fauci said the United States needs "to get better control" over COVID-19 and masks must be a priority as the country opens up.

"I would urge the leaders -- the local, political and other leaders -- in states and cities and towns to be as forceful as possible in getting your citizenry to wear masks," Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during a video conference with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

"...Physical distancing is the most important, but practically when you're living your life and trying to open up the country. You are going to come into contact with people. And for that reason, we know that masks are really important. And we should be using them. Everyone."

“Dr” Sheriff Fauxch....please show us actual statistics of where wearing masks have saved lives.

You can’t. Because you don’t have them.

Not to mention you recently told us all NOT TO WEAR MASKS!!

"And right now people should not be, there’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet; but it is not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And often, there are unintended consequences: people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face." -- Pre-politicized Dr. Anthony Fauci - March, 2020

Except that Trump is apparently going along with him on masks. I’m disappointed.

Average size of holes in a fabric mask: 30 to 70 micron.
Average size of the virus: .01 microns.

CHAIN LINK FENCES DO NOT STOP MOSQUITOS

N95 stops 0.3 microns and thus most droplets. People can't and don't need to stop virus particles. But with speaking which is what we are mostly protecting, most droplets are over 0.5 microns. Even a cloth mask will stop some particles and 0.5 nicron droplets although not many. Cloth masks don't fit the analogy either, but they are probably not effective.

Doesn't really matter. Minimal droplet size is about 0.5 microns. A cloth mask might stop a few percent of those. Not very useful, but not nothing.

Fauci wants to stop Herd Immunity?

Wearing masks and herd immunity are complementary. They achieve the exact same result.

There is plenty of evidence of some level or effectiveness, and there are studies showing that masks are far from perfect. There's the Al-Asmary study showing that intermittent mask use is worse than no mask. Consistent mask use was slightly better than no mask.

There are few studies with both infected and uninfected people masked. The theme through all the studies I have read so far is that there are inconsistencies and it might help in some cases. They seemed to help in the salon but that tended to be shorter interaction times. Lots of confounding factors in other studies liike other protection makes it difficult to separate the effect of masks.

That’s true. His epxlanation was that he needed to lie back then. Seems like a reasonable explanation. For a lying crapweasel.

How is Trump going along with Fauci on masks? Because he wore one at Walter Reed Hospital? He should have there. There are immuno compromised and other sick people there in higher density than general population. Other places and out in the open, no.

Trump has not pushed back on these insane mask mandates. Not in the least.
