Don’t count on face shields to protect you from COVID-19: study

Face shields aren’t really shielding much.

A new study is the latest science casting doubt on plastic face shields in the fight against COVID-19.

The study included a video to illustrate how a sneeze from a person infected with the coronavirus carries “vortex rings” of contagious particles under a face shield, rendering the PPE useless, according to the findings published by Fukuoka University researchers in Japan in the journal Physics of Fluids.

Include mask, they dumb plastic dividers at Walmart, and gloves.

The worst I have seen is a guy with a shield, face mask, and gloves at Walmart once. I wanted to scream.

Is there a reason no one seems to talk about the God-given human immune system, the one that has worked remarkably well for thousands of years?

And it still works to this day!

Americans are a bunch of fools...after the first month all the experts new this was no big deal...but they could not change course...fools all..

Are people really dying of Covid or do they just test positive for it?????????

In ten years we will know the truth.... maybe

Yeah, we filthy humans just can’t keep from sneezing and coughing and
spitting all over each other, 24/7. Something had to be done.

It seems to solution was dirty face diapers to amplify and concentrate all
pathogens around the nose and mouth of all the people the elites would
like to see slowly die off.

CAUTION: Wearing a mask allows your eyes to serve as a window into the vast depths of your stupidity and sheepishness

Starting to see some cracks. Florida is now mandating that reported COVID cases include the PCB multiplier factor. Anything over 30x amplification is statistically insignificant and should not be counted.

Further, we need some auditing of hospitals. There have been hundreds of reports of hospitals ordering doctors to classify deaths as COVID related if the patient EVER tested positive, so people are dying of natural causes or heart attacks or cancer, and if they’ve ever tested positive for COVID, their marked as being dead from COVID. This is disingenuous and artificially inflating numbers.

The truth WILL come out, but the media won’t cover it, and the Left will never admit their real intents, assuming we ever get out of the authoritarian lockdown mode.

Probably because we see how well the human immune system works when something like smallpox, polio, HIV, Influenza, and other well known diseases find us.

The human immune system is an amazing thing. It does a lot of great work. It is not perfect. That’s why God gave us brains bigger than dogs: so we could develop tools and technology to help ourselves.

Those things are usually reserved for Level 3 Bioweapon labs.

It didn't work too well in 1348.

I don’t know what plagued the human race in 1348, but apparently we survived.

Still, a few bad years out of thousands is a pretty good record.

We do not need lockdowns or masks, and we certainly do not need a vaccine.

I do! It was the Bubonic Plague.

but apparently we survived.

Well, half of us. The other half, not so much.

Still, a few bad years out of thousands is a pretty good record.

Is anyone suggesting that the human species is about to go extinct? Or just that infectious diseases can kill lots of people.

Shields don’t work, neither do masks.

But guess what? If you absolutely must wear a damn face covering, then allow people to wear shields? Why?

Many ADA people suffer claustrophobia, hyperventilation, anxiety attacks from wearing masks because they feel they feel they are are suffocating.

Let people wear SHIELDS instead of MASKS.

People die from a lot of things. In fact, people die anyway, you may have noticed.

Still, this government and medical tyranny is not justified, no matter how you slice it.

Considering how far the mask is away from the mouth I don’t see how it works.
