Masks Help Stop the Spread of Coronavirus
 

Great article.......

Masks help stop the spread of coronavirus – the science is simple and I'm one of 100 experts urging governors to require public mask-wearing

No they don’t. The virus is a microbe. If you can get air through a mask you can get the virus. It can penetrate the mask just as air can. Only useful in clinical environments to prevent hairs, spittle, etc, from entering an open wound or an open mouth.

NOT TRUE. PLEASE DON"T SPREAD YOU MISINFORMATION!!!

The virus, in and of itself is easily small enough to go through a regular mask. But people DO NOT expel single viral RNA strands. They expel a bunch of viral particles in even larger aerosolized droplets, which a mask can stop most of the time if worn properly. However, a mask is very ineffective at stopping a person from GETTING the virus

Only if they wear them while sneezing or coughing. Otherwise, useless.

When are people going to get that the more people that wear masks the better off we’ll be in stopping the spread. The people who wear them are helping prevent spread to those not wearing them so how is that fair? What’s the problem with wearing them? Another Sumter County Villager tested positive today. Wouldn’t you want to do anything possible to help the community as a whole. Read what golfingeagles said. He knows what he’s talking about.

Let’s help the community as a whole by having no one leave their house. Everything is home delivered until not one new case of the virus. Ok? Then, in November, guess what? A new strain of the flu. So let’s just wear masks and social distance forever because each year a new flu strain appears. Get it? It goes way beyond “keeping us safe.”

I’m confused
 

They do. They don’t. YIKES.

Sad that many will not "try to help" by wearing a mask.... it should be mandatory in markets and when out near others. Many dont not understand social distancing. Then those who dont wear one will get it. Perhaps when they are sick they will see it. Sensible folk DO NOT NEED to stay home. Be warned this virus can kill you, I dont want it to kill me. Np maks no distancing,thats why the spike has come, just look at the photos of bars, and rallies during the re- opening up of states. Now they want to hold political rallies, you must be joking...... this will only spread the virus even more thousands at a time !! If all other "large gatherings" are banned why not these.

Where did you get your information from. Ask most nurses and doctors who will tell you that breathing in and out your own nitrogen is bad for your body. The pH level isn't balanced and this will result in not enough oxygen to your brain. You're also breathing in and out your own bacteria which isn't good for your body. Go ahead and believe what you want but if we were meant to breathe through masks,we would have been born with them. Also don't force what you feel is right on other people

Yes they do.
 

The evidence is strong. NNTaleb, the author of The Black Swan, has show mathematically that we can eliminate the spread and thus new cases in a couple of months if everyone wore a mask. Of course, everyone won't because "everyone" knows better than the scientists.

Just wondering.....did you read the article I linked?

In sixth grade science classes, one should learn that air is mostly nitrogen and that's the stuff we're breathing.

NOT TRUE. Did you read the article? Droplets from talking are blocked by cloth masks.

Americans are notoriously independent, defiant, rebellious and stubborn. It’s too late. No one will listen. We’ll certainly get what we deserve because of it. In other words, WE’RE DOOMED!

Only you can prevent........VIRUS SPREAD
