Mayo clinic says wearing a cloth mask...

[Toddsterpatriot]

The virus can fit through your mask in a laboratory setting In the real word, not so much! The virus cannot exist outside moisture droplets that you expel when coughing or sneezing. The virus doe snot just float in the breeze! Masks were never intended as a primary purpose to protect you. They prevent you from spreading the virus.

In the real world, this appears not to be working.

With a mask it drops to inches...where the bulk of it falls to the ground.

Surgeon tell you that again?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

What cracks me up is these covidiots claim that masks trap CO2 molecules in the mask but not virus particles or the mucus laden droplets carrying the virus.

CO2 molecules are many times SMALLER than virus particles

That tells you a lot about their "logic"

Carbon dioxide increases with face masks but remains below short-term NIOSH limits - BMC Infectious Diseases

Background and purpose COVID-19 pandemic led to wide-spread use of face-masks, respirators and other personal protective equipment (PPE) by healthcare workers. Various symptoms attributed to the use of PPE are believed to be, at least in part, due to elevated carbon-dioxide (CO2) levels. We...

Yes it does work in the real world. Hardly anyone has been wearing masks for months.

Here in Chicago, we've been forced to wear them for most of the last 2 years,
we still have plenty of cases.

I read the same from the CDC...

When HCWs are working longer hours without a break while continuously wearing an N95 FFR, blood CO2 levels may increase past the 1-hour mark, which could have a significant physiological effect on the wearer (Lim et al., 2006)*. Some of the known physiological effects of increased concentrations of CO2 include:

Proper PPE respirator type masks...not cloth masks.

Do you agree that cloth masks are pretty much useless?

The spread is most often between people who live in the same house. I had COVID after being vaccinated four months earlier, at our state fair, most likely because I took my mask down to drink on a 90+ degree day. The days later, my wife had it and she never left the house!

My daughter-in-law caught it from a coworker who then passed to my son who never usually leaves the house due to his PTSD.

My daughter caught it from her fellow Zoomba instructors, brought it home and gave it to my son-in-law! Thank God we were able to keep my grandson who has leukemia completely isolated.

Not a single one of us was severely ill except my son, who is also a cancer survivor. He didn't require hospitalization, but he says he never wants to do that again!

Gaitors and old tshirts?

Yea pretty much

There is no doubt that masks raise CO2 levels in the blood.

Yes...but that's proper PPE masks...N95s and KN95.

We are talking about cloth masks that don't work...because the mesh is too large.

So wear proper masks...like I said about 30 posts ago...moron

Don't tell me...the CDC, the Administration and the media recommended cloth masks for two years as a Covid mitigation protocol.

 

[Lesh]

Don't tell me...the CDC recommended cloth make for two years as a Covid mitigation protocol.

They recommended a mask (two fucking years ago)...at least a cloth mask...because there were few better ones.

There are many better ones now

I'm not arguing that...but folks are still wearing cloth masks because it was recommended.

They're wearing cloth masks because they're "rebels".

Anyone wo gives a shit is at least wearing a 3 ply surgical mask

Spit in your hand. Now wear a mask and spit in your hand. Which way do you end up with spit in your hand? They help to limit the spread of infections, but only if they're worn.

Breathe into the cold winter air and see your breath. Put on a mask and breathe into the cold winter air and still see your breath.

...is a waste of time...

Who else has been saying that?

But if you and I said this on Twitter they would have banned us for covid19 misinformation.

Cloth masks may not protect against omicron, report says

The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), however, still recommends N95 masks only for health care workers, advising people instead to wear instead cloth masks that have two (or more) layers of fabric that completely cover the face and mouth, fit ‘snugly’ against the sides of the face...

I have known this for well over a year. Where did I learn cloth masks were basically useless? Some doctor on Fox News told me back when we first were required to wear face masks. Why didn’t our wonderful liberal media point this out?

I watched a person who was vaping put on a mask and exhale. Interesting to say the least.
