CDC Updates Covid-19 Guidelines, Acknowledging Virus Can Spread via Tiny Air Particles
WSJ ^ | 10-5-2020 | By Caitlin McCabe and Betsy McKay

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said tiny particles that linger in the air can spread the coronavirus, revising its guidelines on the matter just a few weeks after the health agency had acknowledged a role for the particles and then abruptly removed it.

The guidelines on how the coronavirus spreads were initially updated last month to acknowledge a role, and possibly the primary one, played by tiny aerosol particles in spreading the virus. But the agency removed the changes only days later, saying a draft version of the proposed changes had been posted in error.

In its latest revisions to the guidelines Monday, the CDC acknowledged a role for the tiny airborne particles, though the latest wording says they aren’t the main way the virus spreads.

so....masks ARE USELESS!

Not if you have a personal ion generator charging those particles. They then are electrostatically attracted to the mask material and stopped from passing through. I've been doing this for years to avoid flu shots. No flu over that time.

This has been obvious from the beginning. Why it only took them 10 months to admit this is baffling.

Like every other virus, by air & surfaces.

We’ve known the virus is airborne for months.
Whether you get it or not depends on how many of the viruses are in the air OR if you eat, drink, or touch a surface and it gets in your mouth or nose from you touching with your contaminated fingers.
Masks don’t really do any good. In fact, repeatedly wearing a mask and touching it, wearing the same mask all day or not washing cloth masks in chlorine are all additional hazards of masks. So they can be dangerous too.

If it is airborne the particles are too small to be stopped by a cloth mask.

CDC has been justifying them by saying they are to stop much larger droplets.

CDC put out reports back in 2019 that masks were useless.

If it shields against a cough or a sneeze, or another exhalation associated with large droplets, in these cases, a mask may largely mitigate the amount of expelled virus.

But generally, not too useful.

Sorry, not CDC, WHO put this study out.

” masks are doubly important if it is airborne”

Nope. The airborne stuff goes thru a mask without slowing down. Also shoots up HIGHER in the air when a person is wearing a mask. Masks make airborne stuff MORE dangerous.

So get rid of masks, breath down thru your nose, and get on.

I don't need to disturb the President with something as basic as the operation of air filters and PPE.

It's really basic -- almost commonsensical -- and easy to understand: As aerosol particles dry out on the improperly selected, applied/fit tested, worn and maintained non-HEPA mask, the contents of the particle unload (as with any particle filter) into the lungs of the muzzle-wearer as they inhale their next breath of fetid air, or into the surrounding area as the wearer exhales, to settle on nearby surfaces such as the masks of other devotees of ineffective PPE.

I coat a mask with vik
vapourubb knockoff on the outside n inside. The turpentine oil will kill anything. Used during 1918 Spanish flu.

I think most of us knew this. I don’t remember whether it was finally decided that SARS1 also was spread by such particles but I know it was suspected.

Masks are just an experiment in controlling the masses by Democrats. The Democrat fear mongering is the excuse for their demand for mail in voting.
Deep state stooge Fauci and Pelosi KNOW masks are worthless. They don’t wear them when they think no one is watching.

Embrace herd immunity. Because that is how this story ends, like it or not.

Exactly, this virus will run its course with or without vaccination until it finally peters out and all Bill Gats’s or Dr. Fauci’s will not change it one bit. But you always can improve your odds of survival with a healthy life style and proper nutrients as well as vitamins such as C-NAC-Zinc-D & B-group and in sufficient amounts to do the job.
