Disease Expert Tells CNN: Most Masks Don't Really Work Against Wuhan Coronavirus

During a segment on CNN Monday afternoon, University of Minnesota Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy Director Michael Osterholm said cloth or paper masks don't work to stop the spread of the disease.

This, of course, has been well known for over a year. Dr. Anthony Fauci told former Obama Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell that store-purchased masks do little to stop the spread of the disease.

"The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through the material. It might, however, provide some slight benefit in keep out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you. I do not recommend you wear a mask," Fauci wrote in an email on February 5, 2020.

Quoting stuff from over a year ago when we knew less about Covid doesn?t help you.

Misdirection and misinformation? you still think it was voter fraud?

Masks work.

Some people just won?t ever understand science.

Masks work more than zero.  A cloth or blue surgical mask isn't doing much to reduce the transmission of an aerosolized virus.  The virus is about 6 microns.  A cloth mask has about 60 micron sized pores.  A properly worn N95 or KN95 mask is your best bet, but even those have pores large enough for aerosolized covid to get through.

i'm no scientist but i'm pretty sure 6 micron viruses aren't just flying through the air on their own

Yep. What?s the size of a respiratory droplet? And with triple layered masks, those overlapping ?pores? become much smaller.

Forget science, how about simple logic?

That CNN report was August 8?time doesn?t change facts?

Maybe not your facts.

Just keep comparing farts to respiratory droplets.

if i were king i'd make the vaccine mandatory and masks optional. i think masks are much more annoying. but saying they don't work is silly. people wouldn't get less colds if everyone wore masks all the time? why do we tell people to cover their mouths when they cough then?

Probably best to leave the science to the scientists.

There's no point in discussing masks. No one is changing their minds. There's no use in insulting strangers on the internet either.  Our time is better used exploring solutions to our inevitable covid infection.

Yeah it is a problem. Because the hospitals are getting filled with a lot of unvaccinated or people who did not where a mask. The solution is for people to get the vaccination.

just put the vaccine in the water with the fluoride

just put the vaccine in the water with the fluoride

Then we will have anti-tap drinkers and IRWD protests.

?Squad? Member Rashida Tlaib Admits Masks Are Political Theater, ?Just Wearing It? For Cameras

Holding an event in Detroit with Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge, Tlaib made the mask remark when speaking to a supporter who was initially unmasked himself before quickly throwing one on when he thought that Tlaib was upset with him for not wearing one.

?Oh, no, oh, not you!? Tlaib said to the man. ?No, no, no!? she reassured him. ?I?m just wearing it because I?ve got a Republican tracker here!?

Despite her maskless dance moves, Tlaib has enthusiastically backed continued nationwide COVID-19 restrictions and mask mandates for the American people, as well as Michigan Governor Gretchen Witmer?s highly controversial response to COVID, which has been considered one of the most authoritarian in the United States.

Went to breakfast this morning at a well known waterfront restaurant here in the LBC.  No masks at all. Tables are inside and out but no server, hostess or busboy had on a mask.  All the patrons were likewise, maskless.  I later went to the Costco in Los Al, in the OC and also, no masks.  Some had it on but by and large the crowd was maskless. Gassed up there and no masks. At both sites no one indicated you needed to wear one.  People don?t seem to care much any more.

 

[irvinehomeowner]

So I should just post all the places I go to where people wear masks and that would counter you?

You can't post your personal anecdotes as facts.

I saw a dog standing next to a cat without attacking it... dogs don't seem to care much any more.

Please do, I would like to know because every place I seem to go (today I was in the South Bay) the mask thing seems Passae?.

Went to Oishi Shabu Shabu this weekend.

Wife forgot her mask... hostess gave her one to wear and reminded us when not at the table, to wear our masks.

So that means everyone has to wear masks everywhere... including the South Bay.

Walked into Jade, restaurant/bar Sunday afternoon. Band playing with at least 75 people?didn?t have a mask and neither did anyone else, including the hostess and the band. Had a wonderful, fun afternoon!  Don?t think you are going to the right places. ;D ;D >

 

[irvinehomeowner]

Good thing you have that supernatural immunity.

You probably are bulletproof too.

No, I'm just average man with an average life... ;D ;D >
