Good idea, it will protect OTHERS from you coughing on them.

This video goes with the screen cap at 13. The still image does not do it justice.

Watch this video starting at 14:40 to see how 2 people simply talking face to face exchange germs and virus. The screen capture above does not do it justice.

This is why it’s important to wear masks in public around people during the pandemic.

I am getting the funny feeling that the CDC never considered what to do if a world wide pandemic should occur.

I get the impression they are making it up as they go along.

If some one infected coughs near you, the air borne droplets will get in through the unprotected eyes.

I had a tiny order for masks cancelled by a large medical supplies supplier over a month ago on orders from somebody(s) to halt all sales of masks.

I had my order in before the order came down, and they allowed my order to go through, but my order was one of the last for masks to be filled, and this occurred well over four weeks ago.

They were too busy selling vaccines, gun control and probably trans something or other than to do their jobs. Like another freeper said, at some point they dropped the “P” from their acronym.

Under Obama, no doubt. So many of our fed agencies became a joke while he was President.

they were lying to us to stock up on masks for medical and first responders.

prove me wrong.


If The President would have gotten on the dais and said that the general public needs to wear cloth masks and to save the manufactured N-95 and surgical masks for public health, then I belive the nation would have been quite fine with that. \

Yes, there was a shortage, we all knew that. But saying masks help me and not you was the silliest thing uttered in all of this. If they were to come clean today, then I think still...all will be forgiven.

CDC considering telling everyone they have no clue what to do.

Oh, they know what to do.

But they are so embarrassed about the shortage of N95 masks for the general public, that they lie to us rather than admit that they are useless when it comes to planning for pandemics.

Have they considered the fact that a considerable portion of our society won’t keep these things clean and will accumulate huge concentrations of virus in their masks?

I was talking to a guy from Wuhan a couple of weeks ago. He said they wore masks not to catch the virus but to not transfer it.
