Masks protect wearers and others from COVID-19, CDC says
Breitbart ^ | 11/11/2020 | Yaron Steinbuch

Wearing a face mask also can help protect you — not just others from you — from the coronavirus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC’s new guidance updated its previous assertion that the main benefit of wearing a mask was to help prevent those infected from spreading the bug to others.

“Adopting universal masking policies can help avert future lockdowns, especially if combined with other non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing, hand hygiene, and adequate ventilation,” the CDC said.

CDC also says that only 6% of all reported deaths are CV19 deaths. The rest are “cv19 related”. e.g. 95 year old in nursing home dies of pneumonia and tests positive for CV19.

Or my favorite (I made this one up but this sort of thing actually happens): Man decapitated in horrific motorcycle crash dies of CV19!

I take it less seriously than the flu. Literally. And I never wore a mask because of the flu, even though it “might have” helped.

Sick and tired of the constant, ever-changing bullshit from the maskie-waskie cult. They change their damn story more often than most people change their underwear.

Let them try to impose a damn mandate on the nation.

Do they explain HOW masks protect you? Unless someone was SNEEZING on you, just how is a piece of cotton supposed to stop anything?

And why do mask work against COVID, but have for decades been known to be worthless against any other virus?

All those stupid masks will actually prevent is if someone tries to hawk a loogie in your face.

Reportedly, 92% of Ohioans wear their masks when required. Gov DeWeeney is have a press conference at 5:30pm. Lockdown announcement possibility has everyone on edge. Many small businesses that cannot operate without physical presence will have to close permanently. I think the “Progressives “ want the collapse to occur before they possibly take over.

And how is it that alleged “cases” keep going up, when 90% of people (at least, those in the cities) are wearing their widdle maskie-waskies?

You say that like you think they won't, and that they won't be successful in forcing compliance... Look around, it's been going on in much of the country for almost eight months now.

There is NO SCIENCE demonstrating a Mask will stop a Virus.

With that being said, last weekend there was a bad accident on my Corner, which is Mountain Highway. A guy in a Pickup Truck had a Heart Attack driving down the Highway, drifted over the lane and Ran Head On into a Guy on a Harley, the Bike was Embedded in the Front End and the Rider died Instantly from COVID!!!

Maybe. I usually wear one when I'm shopping, but if emperor Biden and the Ho dictate that it is "mandatory", then no more!

CDC always running a con. Government agencies are jokes.

Really, nothing is about the science. It is about shaping the “science” to suit leftist politics and then it is piped to the fake news to con the sheep.

Now ‘health care officials’ are advising sheeple that cases are spiking because they aren’t wearing their masks PROPERLY. No...it’s because they do NOT work...period.
