Another major change from what we were initially told!
When are people going to accept that we have been fed incorrect data and supposed facts from the get go?

W.H.O. has retracted the statement as a misprint and amended it to say "it is rare for asymptomatic people to spread the coronavirus when they are wearing a properly fitted mask which is proven to decrease the amount of infectious aerosol particles in the immediate area surrounding the asymptomatic individual."

In other words: Wear A Mask If You Care !!

I don't understand how people can still believe that "masks were ineffective anyway". Have you seen any health professionals not wear one in the presence of disease? No right? So there's only one sensible conclusion in my book: they are believed to be effective if properly worn.

This is incorrect.......

Asymptomatic = an infected person with no symptoms

Do you have a link to the WHO statement?
Anything that did not come from the CDC is suspect

You don’t know what you don’t know. It would have been much worse if it was the opposite.

no such thing -- no instructions are valid to double mask -- professionals are using proper ppe -- ridiculous statement

no wrong -- cotton over you face or other such things will not protect you from disease

Absolutely. Most people are aware of this. However, Americans are requested to wear masks to protect others. The masks block the droplets that contain the virus. To a lesser degree, the wearer of the mask does have some protection.
