Govt Scientific Advisors Call for Mask-Wearing Outside
Breitbart ^ | 02/01/2021 | Victoria Friedman

Posted on 02/01/2021 9:03:10 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The influential Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies (SAGE) has endorsed a report telling government ministers to consider mandating mask-wearing in busy outdoor settings such as markets, playgrounds, and parks.

The paper by SAGE’s Environmental Modelling Group added that there was a contagion risk in other “semi-enclosed spaces” such as at bus stops. It also recommended that masks be worn in the corridors and communal areas of workplaces.

Not needed outside.
I will wear inside where air is recirculated and there are walls and ceilings.
Outside, the air moves and there is sunlight which has UV rays that kill viruses.
Wearing one outside is purely virtue signaling .

So. Can people who got the virus even after wearing ,masks religiously sue the cdc for causing them to get covid claiming that they wouldn’t have got covid if they weren’t forced to wear a petri dish on their faces?

I think the states are going to have to assert themselves to stop this insanity. It’s too easy to crush individuals, and the states that have remained relatively open and free are going to have to fight back at this federal overreach.

They should have done so long before now.

This isn’t about a virus.

Just like gun control isn't about guns. It's about control.

[[Masking was shown prior to last year to be ineffective against viral transmission]]

If we had any lawyers with guts, they would take this to court and demand that advocates for masks prove that masks have enough benefits to mandate that people wear them in public. And be prepared with evidence that people are infact getting sick while wearing them, and possibly proving g that masks increase your chances of getting ill.

Hard to believe that lawyers aren’t suing for fami.ies that have lost loved ones who wore masks, but maybe its too hard to prove they “wouldn’t have gotten sick had theyno t worn masks”?

BUT, this is what the mask advocates are doing, ru.ing o. What “might happen” and c.aiming, without evidence that masks save lives. Funny though. In The beginning, they all breathlessly exclaimed that masks didn’t protect. Then apparent.y people like Beijing Biden, fauci and ilk, who probably have stoc, in masks made in China, declared, without evidence once again, that masks save lives, and now its evidently law

Having been paid over $2M in your parents taxes as a Federal expert in respirator wear and care, I calculated that: 1) atmosphere we collectively share contains about six quintrillion cubic liters of air; 2) world population is eight billion’ 3) meaning that everyone can ‘possess’ about six cubic kilometers each without worry of contamination.

And deaf and hearing impaired folks are exempt from wearing face coverings at all times:

Example CA:

https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/guidance-for-face-coverings.aspx

And the CDC:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover-guidance.html#:~:text=It%20is%20not%20known%20if,for%20a%20single%20use

“Face Shields
A face shield is primarily used for eye protection for the person wearing it. At this time, it is not known what level of protection a face shield provides to people nearby from the spray of respiratory droplets from the wearer. There is currently not enough evidence to support the effectiveness of face shields for source control. Therefore, CDC does not currently recommend use of face shields as a substitute for masks.
However, wearing a mask may not be feasible in every situation for some people for example, people who are deaf or hard of hearing—or those who care for or interact with a person who is hearing impaired. Here are some considerations for individuals who must wear a face shield instead of a mask:
Although evidence on face shields is limited, the available data suggest that the following face shields may provide better source control than others:
Face shields that wrap around the sides of the wearer’s face and extend below the chin.
Hooded face shields.
Face shield wearers should wash their hands before and after removing the face shield and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth when removing it.
Disposable face shields should only be worn for a single use and disposed of according to manufacturer instructions.
Reusable face shields should be cleaned and disinfected after each use according to manufacturer instructions or by following CDC face shield cleaning instructions .

“Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies”

So I’m guessing if a volcano erupted in downtown LA, this group would meet and after considerable discussion issue the following statement: “RUN”

“The following individuals are exempt from wearing face coverings at all times:

Persons who are hearing impaired, or communicating with a person who is hearing impaired, where the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication.”
