I saw the same or a similar interview. It essentially cultures the virus on the face ensuring a healthy steady dose for the lungs, throat and sinuses.

I haven’t seen anyone bring up the fact that the flu or common cold would be very compromising to have and then contract the coronavirus.

Why does the CDC make the distinction “healtcare personnel?”
Do you think that is just an oversight they’re making?

It is like saying guns are best kept in the hands of law enforcement professionals. Government doesn't trust the public with guns or masks, and wants plenty of guns and masks for itself. The parallel to gun control should be giving you pause.

You said , "Masks don't work." Just man up and admit you are wrong, then we can talk about public policy and whether citizens should be trusted to use masks correctly.

So, you think the CDC is stupid? Or lying?

TBH, I think you are stupid and lying. CDC can write a document, but isn’t equipped to mass manufacture test kits. Anyway, enough of your evasion and silly word games. Hope you have a mask if corona comes to your part of the country.

As for the mask working, they don’t protect the wearer but prevent him from breathing or coughing directly into the air around him. For the wearer, an incoming virus penetrates right through and also assures the nostrils, mustache, lips & all skin beneath the mask of an infected wearer is saturated with the virus.

So said the doctor in an interview.


A hospital nurse I know said the mask is just to prevent people from having their fingers make so much contact with their face (mouth and nose).

That makes sense, thanks.

“WuFlu has been found to dramatically infect brain stem tissue, causing failure of the breathing apparatus, so it passes the blood/brain barrier.”

This is patently untrue. A single Japanese researcher has speculated this is possible because a few other known coronaviruses have been shown to have done so sometimes. Basically suggesting that this needs to be checked out when autopsying fatal cases, because it has implications for treatment in critical cases.

You are engaged in fake news/fear mongering.

It was a speculative paper by a Japanese researcher suggesting an area of study at autopsy because other strains of the coronavirus family have been shown to do this.

But the nimrods on the internet can’t tell the difference between speculative suggestions for research and actual studies of real specimens.

Masks don’t work. They are not recommended.

As for me, I don’t get sick. Last cold, 47 years ago.
One case of flu in the last 37 years. Three days, didn’t hurt much.

I think you’re a troll.

You must think Trump is some kind of idiot, because he is stockpiling 300 million masks, that apparently don't work. Weird, seems like everyone is wrong about this except you. hmmm...makes you wonder, doesn't it?

It doesn’t make me wonder because I watched Trump’s conference and watched Pence’s conference and the experts they had said those masks are for “healthcare professionals.”

Which is exactly what it says in the headline of the article you linked to.

“America Has 30 Million Masks, Needs 300 Million for Health Care Workers Fighting Coronavirus, HHS Secretary Says”

I’m beginning to think you are illiterate.

This is the crux of the article for me.

“You can vote one way or another and the real decisions that matter will still be made by the head of a directorate that is a subsection of a bureau that you never heard of, but that has a budget in the hundreds of millions, a small army as its disposal, and will follow whatever the protocol is.

This is how the country is really run. And that’s the problem.”

Senile much? You were the one who said masks didn’t work. Do you admit now that they work? You can start with admitting they work for health professionals if is easier for you. Then we can move to explaining why if they work for health professionals, they also work for all humans. Then we talk about how evil a policy it is for the government to take masks, which we acknowledge work, and keep them way from the public, and for themselves.

Illiterate Troll can't read.

Health care workers wear them to keep from giving diseases to others not to keep from getting diseases.

Then we talk about how evil a policy it is for the government to take masks, ...

So, you are the one who thinks the CDC is lying. Make up your mind which narrative you're going with, moron.

Haha! Literally retarded. Who do you think is sick in the healthcare worker / "patient" relationship. Don't bother answering, you need conserve whatever brainpower you have left.

CDC has developed this slide set for use by staff development, infection control, and occupational health personnel for training healthcare personnel on how to select and use personal protective equipment PPE to protect themselves from exposure to microbiological hazards in the healthcare setting.

Health care workers see a variety of people with a variety of diseases every day. Infecting a person who is sick with yet another illness is not good protocol.

Does Wearing a Mask Prevent the Flu?

Still, the study found no reduction in symptoms for mask use alone. This finding suggests that the use of masks should always be paired with regular handwashing.

Facemasks

Facemasks are fairly loosely fitting, disposable masks approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use as medical devices. Doctors, dentists, and nurses often wear them while treating patients. These masks prevent large droplets of bodily fluids that may contain viruses from escaping via the nose and mouth. Facemasks also protect against splashes and sprays from others, such as those from sneezes and coughs. The downside is that these masks don’t prevent the inhalation of small, airborne contaminants.

Respirators

Respirators, also called N95 respirator masks, are designed to protect the wearer from small particles in the air that may contain viruses. ... Respirators are selected to fit your face. They must form a perfect seal so that no gaps allow airborne viruses in. Healthcare workers use them to protect against airborne infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and anthrax.

Guidelines for Wearing Facemasks

The CDC revised its healthcare setting guidelines for flu prevention to include facemasks and respirators in 2010. They recommend that healthcare workers wear facemasks when working with patients who have the flu. They also suggest offering facemasks to patients who show signs of respiratory infections. Respirators, however, are reserved for healthcare workers to wear during medical procedures.

What you know about health care would be written on the head of a pin in block(head) letters. LOL
