Wouldn't look right running down on your head inside the bank.

I may have just urinated before I could get to the bathroom.

Save the Charmin and use a warm washcloth.

This could be TMI but I'll go ahead with 'er anyway. Used to use three pieces, each about 16 inches. Now I keep a small bucket in the bathroom with some bleach and laundry detergent in it and use that with a rag for the third piece.

We can google all day and still be confused.

For some yes, for others no.

Back to masks....do you believe a scarf will protect you? Does the CDC?

Its all about mitigation,....I could care less what the CDC believes...….nor do I need the television to tell me what to do.

If you think those 95 masks are it, put one on and go hand around in quarantine with some covid patients.

They mitigate more,...but a simple piece of cotton tee shirt will mitigate 80%..... which is better than 0 and probably more than is needed for general public interactions.


Sitting around waiting for the TV and CDC to issue instructions like a giant game of simon says is how most people live.

"Coronavirus task force coordinator Deborah Birx on Thursday said officials worry that encouraging mask use might interfere with the White House's prior social distancing guidance, which calls for people to stay home, avoid gatherings of more than 10 people and keep a safe distance from nonfamily members.

"The most important thing is the social distancing and washing your hands, and we don't want people to get an artificial sense of protection because they're behind a mask," Birx said. "When the advisory comes out, it will be an additive piece, if it comes out, rather than saying this is a substitute for" social distancing."

Most people can't wash their hands properly or stay home when they are sick. Fewer still cover a cough or sneeze properly. If most people cannot perform those simple tasks correctly, they surely can't use a mask properly. I have seen medical professionals use masks incorrectly. When not used correctly, the mask won't protect you and can lure you into a false sense of security. The WHO has guidelines about who should wear masks and how to properly wear and dispose of a mask.

Exactly.

The science is proven and most of the real experts agree they are a waste for the general public.
They've said the same thing all along.

Hysteria is going to make things worse.
People just need to stay at home and stop being stupid about everything.

Real experts are willing to try anything that might slow this down, help the symptoms or save one life.

Masks being worn by everyone will do that.

Repeating it won't change that they may have changed their mind. They are willing to take a new look at things instead of repeating the same thing over and over. You should try it.

They haven't changed their minds.
That's the media spin.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has called on the government to issue a nationwide stay-at-home order to slow the spread of coronavirus and said that CDC advice to wear masks in public will 'come soon'.

Fauci confirmed that guidance on wearing masks in public will be 'on the agenda tomorrow'.

Fauci admitted that he was hearing from doctors around the US that supplies were dwindling but said he was confident those on the frontline will not run out.

'They're getting perilously close to when they run out,' he said of some hospitals.

'They haven't run out yet and I hope they don't... I hope we never have to get there.'

'They're getting perilously close to when they run out,' he said of some hospitals.

'They haven't run out yet and I hope they don't... I hope we never have to get there.'

Fauci admitted that the research raised a 'red flag' around the ease with which the outbreak is spreading.

However he said that he would not advise Americans to change their behaviors based on the findings because if people follow the current social distancing rules to stay 6 feet away from each other they will be protected.

Dr. Deborah Birx, who coordinates the day-to-day administration response to the virus, cautioned people should not consider masks as a guarantee of protection.

'We don't want people to feel like I'm wearing a mask, I am protected, and I'm protecting others. You may be protecting others, but don't get a false sense of security that that mask is protecting you exclusively from getting infected because they were other ways that you can get infected because the number of asymptomatic and mild cases that are out there,' she said at the White House briefing.

She advised people to continue social distancing practices and to wash their hands.

It seems some infectious disease experts are saying evidence exists of aerosol virus particles being released by talking and breathing instead of only coughing and sneezing. And that the particles can hang in the air if there is no air circulation.

This is why they are looking at the shift in policy to recommending the public wear masks when out in areas with higher infection rates.
