Does it have a hole that pops open for exhaling? If so, then you are only filtering while you breathe in and if you have COVID, you are exhaling all of your infection.

We would have no new cases of COVID if we didn’t test.

Also, Taiwan is 1/10 our population.

I can see you and I agree on not testing anyone any longer. It just frightens the little ones.

I’m AARP age and my wife and I have gone out multiple times a day without any protection since this started.

We have P100 masks which we put on only to freak out Costco people yesterday, because they refused us without them. They are gas masks.

A little boy couldn’t stop staring!

A full material mask does reduce your exhale ability and greatly attenuates long distance sneeze particles.

Any mask that has a pop-open exhale valve will not filter sneeze or COVID particles coming from you.

Do our thread a favor and please don’t comment on something that you have NO CLUE about.

I have come to the conclusion that you can’t rationalize with those with sweaty palms.

Yes there is an economic disaster underway. It is very difficult to know what the right thing to do is at this point.

I was simply observing that most people, according to polls and chatter are MORE AFRAID of CoV than they are of depression, that the chance of pandemic acceleration after reopening is significant (I make it around 30%), and if that happens the reopening politicians are going to pay a price.

Korea has warned the death rate will be at least 5% unless stringent measures are taking—America is ignoring that advice.

"The total area under the fatalities’ curve is much higher if the health care system capacity is seriously exceeded."

Thank you for mentioning that.

Note how FluBros don’t respond when called out.

Stringent measures don’t matter when a statistical sample of everyone shows everyone already got it, due to antibody tests.

Look at Sweden. They have no measures except “if you want to hide, hide.” To date, just over 2,000 people who have died had a COVID tie-in from a comorbidity. In essence, almost no one is dying of consequence and flues are no different.
