Wear a mask in public indoor spaces and outdoors when social distancing can not be maintained. Always keep your distance from others.

Thank you. The point I was making is that nothing is 100% effective and for someone to try and convince people that a mask is just that is dangerous and unsafe. I wear a mask whenever I enter a store however I only go to shopping for groceries or other necessary items. I'm doing as much as possible to limit my possible exposure to the virus.

I don't really remember, I use cloth masks and the disposable masks sold in the drug stores.

In those countries they also had draconian lock downs that had far more effect for a low infection rate than the use of a mask.

I've been in a lot of hospitals over the years as a patient and visitor. I saw very few medical staff wearing masks even in the ICU. Only since the Covid virus have I seen widespread use of masks by medical personnel. Also did you ever check your oxygen level while you were wearing a mask? I seriously doubt it. Medical personnel are for the most part younger people in reasonably good health vs older people with existing health problems or just older bodies that aren't functioning at optimal levels. Does it not make sense that an older person may have a lower oxygen level while wearing a mask?

You sound like all ER nurses do is deal with a virus. The hospitals are not overwhelmed. BTW: the nurses are paid very well for what they do. Stop spreading panic and lies.

I speak of what I see on TV with my own eyes. I speak of interviews I have seen with my own eyes. I am not spreading panic and lies. I am spreading current news.

You don't think that the media doesn't cherry pick the interviewees to get the responses they desire to support the narrative they are pushing?

What in my question, shows I am denying anything?
Unless your "safety glasses" completely seal your eyes, they do nothing for you. So, STOP pretending.

Yes, for South Korea. No way lockdowns in New Zealand _ just smart people listening to their Scientists!
