My understanding is that the mask is not to prevent the wearer from getting the virus but to prevent giving it.
Correct.
“My understanding is that the mask is not to prevent the wearer from getting the virus but to prevent giving it.”
That’s right. To keep virus from falling on surfaces that other people touch which leads to entry via mouth or nose or eyes from the hand.
Masks can collect the virus and bacteria over time.
People calling the surgeon general stupid have track records of saying hysterical ludicrous things.
One even claimed there would be several hundred million infected by March 1st.
right. the mask is made of a magical one way material that while. it preventing the virus from getting to you prevents the virus from getting from you to the outside world. Do you see what a steaming pile the authorities are selling?
Absolutely. Most Corona virus victims show no outword symptoms. To me, that means that you could spread the disease even though you think you are healthy. Decide what makes you comfortable and go with that.
My understanding also. Can’t enter a grocery store in SoCal without one.
You are correct.
You are correct.
“My understanding is that the mask is not to prevent the wearer from getting the virus but to prevent giving it.”
How? Those silly masks don’t contain your breath vapor. They’re not magic.
Simple question, do Surgeons wear Masks to protect the Patient or to protect themselves?
We all know the answer.
