Just like everyone (well, everyone who can think straight after all the hype) says: cloth masks are a joke. Would you use panty hose to protect against U-235 exposure? Hm. similar analogy to virus vs cloth mask...very similar.We use the best masks available; when they're not available...we use SCBAs. When they're not available...we'll use procedure masks.
The alpha variant was much less contagious. And, I have no problem using hand disinfectants made available by some places in public accommodation. I even tend to rub some on the outside of the mask while waiting for it to dry off my hands.Long story short, the answer is no.
"In sum, of the 14 RCTs that have tested the effectiveness of masks in preventing the transmission of respiratory viruses, three suggest, but do not provide any statistically significant evidence in intention-to-treat analysis, that masks might be useful. The other eleven suggest that masks are either useless—whether compared with no masks or because they appear not to add to good hand hygiene alone—or actually counterproductive. Of the three studies that provided statistically significant evidence in intention-to-treat analysis that was not contradicted within the same study, one found that the combination of surgical masks and hand hygiene was less effective than hand hygiene alone, one found that the combination of surgical masks and hand hygiene was less effective than nothing, and one found that cloth masks were less effective than surgical masks."
Do Masks Work?
“Seriously people—STOP BUYING MASKS!” So tweeted then–surgeon general Jerome Adams on February 29, 2020, adding, “They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus.” Two days later, Adams said, “Folks who don’t know how to wear them properly tend to touch their faces...www.city-journal.org
Horse shit.Have you ever worn a N95 mask for any length of time?
There is no way the public could ever tolerate that, let alone have that number of them available to them.

Nonsense.
Tell you what...the next time you or anyone you love has surgery...insist nobody wears a mask. Ok?
Are they 100% effective? No. You do a better job of protecting yourself with proper PPE than you do without.

That is the definition of cherrypicking ...shitheadDumbshit...from the article...
Surgical masks were designed to keep medical personnel from inadvertently infecting patients’ wounds, not to prevent the spread of viruses. Public-health officials’ advice in the early days of Covid-19 was consistent with that understanding.
That is the definition of cherrypicking ...shithead

They work.
But hey...post a video of you blowing out a candle with a mask on. Wear sun glasses. No one will be able to identify you
Masks help.
The vaccine helps.
Social distancing helps.
Avoiding large crowds help.
Washing your hands helps.
Yo posted a video?I did, asshole.......you obviously didn't.....
If only you would do thatNever going out in public again helps........holding your breath and not breathing helps......
Comically false.
In certain wards; yes. In most of the hospital...no.
Ridiculously false. We use the best masks available; when they're not available...we use SCBAs. When they're not available...we'll use procedure masks.

Whoever knew that healthcare could be so complicated.The CDC put in a little aside, that "maybe" the corona virus was somehow different than every other virus. . .
. . . but that statement was unsupported by all the research.
They have known for fifty years that masks don't do shit. That is why BSL4 labs have the protocols that they do.
Anyone that has any amount of critical reading skills, would understand by reading the CDC's own literature, that their own experts don't believe masks contain an infectious spread anymore than a population that is not masked.
