Coronavirus: COVID-19

~~jwb~~ · 05-05-2020, 08:13 AM

Just heard an ad on the radio that said if you can't find a face mask then use a bandana. Remember when they were telling us not to bother with face masks cause they don't work anyway?

On a semi related note, it seems like now would be a great time to rob a store.

Masks mitigate spread but don't protect you from infection, which is what people were stocking up on them for during the beginning of the pandemic. This remains true.

I wouldnt say they dont protect you at all from infection, just that it is a negligible and minute amount. Anything in from of your mouth and nose is going to help to some degree, it is just a matter of is it enough to even warrant doing it.

Yeah but why is it a necessity to wear them now but not at the beginning?

I know more people have it now, but if we were wearing them all along maybe it would've spread less...

Put me in the group of people who were wrong about masks in the beginning. I think Faucci even goofed that one up.

Yep, but people only cared about themselves in the beginning and also now.
