We need a mask and wash order, not a stay at home order

[QUOTE="46AND2, post: 74844114, member: 315032"] There is probably some truth to that...being disingenuous about why we should not all be wearing the masks...but only by some people. And perhaps not as blatant as some make it out to be. I haven't really read too much about who was saying what about whether we should wear them. I do know that it has absolutely been presented that we need to make sure the healthcare industry is covered. A quick current google search shows a lot of recommendations for the use of them. As for the effectiveness of the masks against virus...well, there have been SOME studies, but on too small a scale, and sometimes questionable methods. And they have given conflicting, though mostly negative results...at least when it comes to influenza. It would not be difficult to believe that some scientists/healthcare professionals have come out and said to temper your expectations about them, since it has not been robustly tested...and then people blow it up to say they are claiming they don't work, when that isn't what they said... The issue with the size of the virus is that they are SO small, that tens of thousands of copies can reside in one droplet, so it may only take an extremely small droplet indeed to get through. And to be fair, I mostly had the surgical masks in mind, since that seems to be the most widely used in my experience. [/QUOTE]
