Everyone in Wuhan, maybe all of China wears a mask - it works. Make it clear to people _why_ they're wearing a mask and that it's not for self-protection and that it doesn't replace social distancing. Works everywhere in the world except the USA? I cannot believe that. --- End quote --- Does it work? That's assuming a fair bit of causality where there may be none. Meanwhile the behaviour of people I referred to has been actually researched by the CDC. If they recommend masks then go ahead but thinking you're doing good while you may be doing a lot of harm isn't what we need right now. --- End quote --- I don't get it. Everybody, especially in the USA, have been using scare tactics to get people moving. Nothing moves people quicker than fear. But this virus has been played down by everyone to the level of "a bad cold" and even with the evidence from Italy and Spain in front of their very eyes, they claim "it cannot happen here, because!". |

So what do you expect ? When the next real threats and new dangerously escalating situations popping out, the strong and fanatic supporters will still see these as fake news. :palm: |

Meanwhile, we keep saying it doesn't work, yet we had to confine people in a lot stricter way than they ever did in SK, and we still don't know what's going to happen. Oh, and if masks don't work, why do all the medical practitioners currently wear one? Explain the conundrum. |
