I bet wearing masks has everything to do with it?

I'm normally always right. I'm feeling extra smug for being right every time I said it here. PUT THE MASK ON!

We wouldn't have had to shut down the economy if all air travel had been totally frozen (even returning US nationals, not sorry) and order mask/facial covering wearing in public.

I can’t imagine anyone out there ignorant of social distancing or not knowing to wear a mask when you have to go around other people.

11:13 for the win. that’s what China, South Korea, Singapore did.

instead we denied, hoped, bungled...shut down not prevented...

Not going to wear a mask. Ever!!!!

Idiots on here living in la la land. Do this and that and it wouldn't have happened. Go back to your caves.

@12:13, you can stick your head in the sand but our infection and death rate speaks for itself.

@1113- the covid virus is 0.15 microns in size. A n-95 mask, if sealed perfectly allows particles smaller than 0.3 microns to pass through it. Add that the virus can enter your body via your eyes, you see that masks are nothing more than a sneeze guard or a placebo.

Fabric masks are even less effective, allowing the virus to live in it for days,

mask mask mask! gloves gloves gloves!

I remember in 2009 the swine flu killed a little over 17,000 Americans. They told us as physicians very little about it. Media barely mentioned it. We didn't suspend any airline flights like currently to China nor did we test as many people. We've now tested more people than any other country. The problem that the posters about have is they make this political because they are likely not trained medically and have little knowledge. From a medical standpoint masks do very little to protect you from any virus unless you wear it properly. As for the gloves they do much more harm than good as 99% of the general public don't know how to take them off without spread. The China travel ban was the largest factor in prevention.

Numbers without structure and description are worthless. If 548 have been hospitalized and 96 are dead, does that mean 17.5% of those hospitalized have died? Do we assume all the dead were hospitalized at the time of death? Do we have a clue? Nope. More health department bullshit, scattered around here on a daily basis.

I have questioned all the official information given to the public regarding dealing with this pandemic since hearing that wearing a mask was useless @11:13 a.m. Who are these so called experts?

1:12
Even the CDC admitted they were wrong on advising the public not to wear masks.
I’ve been wearing both gloves and mask and I don’t have the virus.

@12:59
you see that masks are nothing more than a sneeze guard
The sneeze guard is what makes mask wearing effective. There is an animation making the rounds showing that one sneeze in walmart spread Covid-19 over 3 grocery store aisles and dusting every surface.. It's not a placebo and it works. Stop helping the virus spread with ignorant disinfo.

@1:12 I marvel at the ignorance of many wearing gloves thinking they are protecting themselves by wearing them. It just gives them a false sense of security and in my opinion endangers them more because of this. They touch everything under the son with their gloved hands only to touch all their personal items and face with these same gloves. I see folks wearing masks that do not fit tightly but it makes them feel empowered.

I leave you with this question to ponder for the elderly we are trying to protect. Do the number of life days saved exceed the number of quality days lost for the entire elderly population? Every day that grandparents/retired folks cannot see their grandchildren, play cards with friends, come out of their assisted living room to visit with friends, etc., is a day they will not get back in the future. They are already in the twilight of their lives. A day at the very end of life usually has lower quality than a day earlier in life. Bottom line: are we really looking out for their best interest by closing them off from the people and things they love to try to keep them from contracting a virus that most will recover from?

Always slows down over weekend due to clinics closed. It’ll pop back up Tuesday morning.

Just read this; "Cordero, 41, has been fighting off a slew of ailments in recent weeks, having been placed in an intensive care unit and diagnosed with pneumonia while battling coronavirus-like symptoms. Kloots previously revealed that despite testing negative for coronavirus twice, doctors are convinced that Cordero is fighting COVID-19, leading to a third test." So I'm guessing that one way or another this poor bastards listed cause of death will be from Covid. Makes clear sense to me. The testing may not be as adequate as thought by the Bosses.

@248. So if you are infected wearing.a bandana, your sneeze only goes 20 feet instead of 30? Don’t spread disinformation. It’s bad form.

Please get this through your thick skulls, a mask or gloves of anykind will not stop the spread of a virus. Please think about it and use sound logic.

5:54 is right. Maintaining social distance of at least 6 feet, washing your hands, not touching your face when you have been out of your house before you wash your hands is much more important. Cloth face masks that are home made or not surgical grade are not effective to block the droplets from your sneeze. They may be better than nothing, but to rely on them is simply foolish.

This week goggles will be sold out.

I wonder how many people are discarding their cloth masks if they make more than one trip. Surely they aren’t driving with them on.

A mask isn’t going to stop the spread, but it certainly can reduce it. If using a mask cuts the risk of you spreading the disease to another person by even 50% then isn’t it worth the effort. It’s amazing to see the people who only view things in black and white. If it isn’t 100% effective then it shouldn’t be done at all, Seat belts won’t give absolute protection in a crash either, but I still wear one. Please think about it and use sound logic.

I agree with 8:56. I have a neoprene sports mask that I fitted with an N99 active carbon liner. I wear food handling gloves in the grocery store and at gas stations. None of this stuff is needed by medical professionals at this time. I don't understand why anyone would object to me wearing these things in public, unless it's just to validate their own opinions.

I'm not approving any Chinese propaganda that is reported as fact. Tokyo Rose was not published as fact in American Newspapers. Holocaust denial isn't allowed in comments on this website. Chinese propaganda is no better than anything put out by Tass or Pravda and is treated as such. Don't bother arguing or whining as it won't do any good.

Bad fishy
Vetty bad
No bat soup for you!

@KF, so basically if the comment isn't 100% kosher certified by rabbis then you don't believe it or approve it?

Now it all makes sense. It's like a Dan Brown novel. Atlantic goliath gouper

A sneeze is like a fart. If you can't squeeze it off and squelch it, you need to stay in your bedroom with the door closed. Forever.

@8:56. You clearly missed the point by not thinking and using no logic. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

@7:21
Very nice. So subtle only high IQs will get it.

What's with the Jewish references? Are there some neo-Nazis trying to somehow make COVID-19 into some sort of Jewish conspiracy? Shouldn't these people be lifting weights in prison or out peddling meth?

The death numbers are a scam - what was the real cause of death for these folks, and what were the contributing factors?

12:21 hasn't yet broken their NPC algorithms. I see their word association conditioning is still running.

12:21 the Italians admitted they couldnt cremate their dead fast enough with every modern crematorium in Italy. It's basically like WTC 7.

8:14, I suppose you missed the Facebook posting that demonstrated that homemade and cheap face masks don’t effectively keep droplets from a sneeze from spreading. If you think homemade masks are a serious preventative to keep infected persons who sneeze from infecting others, I don’t know what to tell, other than good luck. I’m not saying don’t wear a face mask, but I am telling you not to rely on it. Bottom line -homemade cloth face masks are not particularly effective. Wear if it makes you feel better, but act like you aren’t wearing one.

@4:25, I'm not a boomer so I dont have a facebook account. Just like I dont have AOL or Silver Singles.
