Main Line Health says cloth masks are no longer allowed to be worn by employees, visitors
ABC News Philadelphia ^ | 01/19/2022 | staff

Any mask is better than no mask. But loosely woven cloth masks provide the least amount of protection and Americans in some cases might want to opt for higher quality masks like KN95 and N95 respirators, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wrote Friday in updated online guidance.

In light of the new guidance, Main Line Health says it is no longer allowing cloth masks to be worn by employees or visitors in any of its locations or administrative areas.

We’ve only been telling them for 2 years that cloth masks are both idiotic and ineffective.

LOL. Now, your little homemade tiger-stripe mask isn’t good enough. How long until they insist that people wear plastic bags over their heads?

Higher quality KN95s?!

The same KN95s that are KN95 because they meet ChiCom safety standards (snort), but not US?

The same KN95s that are NOT authorized in the US for use in healthcare settings??

Those KN95s, 6ABC?

You flaming idiots...

BTW, presstitutes: Using any of the above to keep out an airborne respiratory virus is like using chicken wire to keep out mosquitos.

They aren’t masks, are they?

They’re muzzles.

We’ve gone from masked vs unmasked to my mask is more efficient. Bask in my aura.

Masking to slow — much less control — transmission of a respiratory virus is nothing more than a dirty, nasty bad habit. If a person wants to wear one, go ahead ... but just don’t fool yourself that the mask, even if properly selected, sized, applied, fit-tested, worn and maintained and even if worn by a person trained in the use of personal protective equipment, will offer any protection at all: It will not; it cannot.

"Fomites" -- now that's a good descriptor (I actually had to look it up ... now it's mine! Thank you!)

Spoke to receptionist at a nursing home that soundd exasperated. They have worn masks for a almost 2 years. I think the lawsuits over all this jazz will go on forever. What long term effects and damage are the masks doing to people physically??? The real sheeple are the CEOs and bosses.

First they came for the barefaced.
Then they came for the bandanaed.
Then they came for the face shielded.
Then they came for the cloth masksed....

It might be fun to go into some liberal area and hassle all the Karens wearing cloth masks.

80 micron filtration vs 1 micron virus. All along it’s been about compliance and not protection. Every day more and more people are getting it.
