Masks are a two-way street.
In surgery, healthcare personnel wear them to protect the patients from bacteria, sure, but ALSO they protect the healthcare personnel from viruses - if you consider at least HIV and hepatitis C , among others. Just saying.
Yet Dr Fauci has an article in the New England Journal of Medicine that was linked to here earlier that says the masks if not a PPE Bubble type categorically do NOT work with viruses.
Because of the micron size of Covid19, nothing less than N99 masks will do anything. It is really easy to look up, just nobody wants to look it up. The sheep continue to think their homemade t-shirt masks help.
I realize not many of you here get paid to review and analyze raw data involving scientific information of such detail as would be needed.
I will tell you from an environmental scientists point of view that the "so called experts" are lying to us about it. Especially when they ignore the fact that only the very best tech will stop a virus from spreading. That is why the Bubble boy made the news and there were even TV appearances. The Bubble was his only chance.
One must truly wear a spacesuit to prevent exposure, then take that suit off in a clean room after decontamination if you were exposed to an environment you knew had the virus. That is what the research scientists wear and how they exit to go home each day. That is exactly what the Astronauts did upon return to Earth when we 1st sent men to Orbit the Earth and beyond. Therefore, this virus has to have gotten to almost everywhere it can by now. We will see the testing continue to make it appear more have it than don't due to the interference with the cold viruses.
Which begs the question I posited yesterday. Why are so many "scientists/medicos" willing to just buckle under to this farce? Yes the old adage of money or peer pressure, but my god talk about selling one's soul. Even worse, bury your shame alone, but to preach online about how honorable a mask is, reveals the true pathetic and soulless nature.
This should be the moment where all step up and become heroes but instead they've revealed themselves as face mask wearing sheep - yet still shamelessly preach.

With all the tourists at home for Wuhan Flu, there won't be many to hurt there like their might have been for a summer in a tourist destination.
I have been wondering if the whole Rona thing was actually about keeping mass events from happening because there was credible intelligence about plans for multiple globally coordinated mass casualties attacks in several countries simultaneously for a certain period of time in 2020. Keeping passenger jets grounded would also fit in that scenario.

I feel like Im caught in a catch 22 with this mask situation now. Up until now it hasnt been a big deal in my small town. Come Monday though it is going to be tricky for me. If my Walmart is one that is going to go with the mandatory mask on the 20th Im not sure what Im going to do. There are other grocery stores I can shop at food wise, but their prices are so much higher and thats rough for a person like me that is on a very fixed income.
The real problem is that for all the other things I may need Walmart is the only one that has them. There isnt any of those little mom and pop business's that carry the other home kind of items. There is a Home Depot, but that still doesnt cover all one could need.
Trust me Im not thrilled about having to use Walmart to begin with, but thats pretty much it for where I live. I have yet to wear a mask and I dont intend to either. I have tried to stock what I can so that I can hopefully ride it out until this insanity quits, but then again I can only spend so much, (again back to fixed income) and who knows when this Will pass and be over. If they try to stretch it through until the election I may end up having to wear a mask and that wont sit well with me as it goes against my grain 100%.
Im guessing it doesnt sound like that big of a deal to most of you, but having to go against something that you strongly believe in stinks. Kind of like telling a person that goes to AA meetings that they have to drink a beer if they want to shop in the store. Maybe not the best example, but still... it stinks

I think I'm going to print out the relevant paragraphs and give them out to any massk-hole that tries to chastise me for not wearing one.
