People are understandably desperate for solutions, but the press needs to be smarter.

The question to the CDC head is this:

Why should I wear a cloth if I am not sick, provided that it won’t protect me from someone who is sick or infected? Is it because if they wear a cloth chances are the virus will be more confined to them?

That is the extent of protection with face coverings that aren’t N95. Everyone must wear one to LIMIT infection. If you are near someone you don’t know, etc., who does not wear anything, you are game to the virus if you aren’t using N95 and eye cover.

Simple stuff. Important to understand. Don’t understand too late.

Let’s cut the BS about face coverings:

CDC guidance:

Cloth face covering: Textile (cloth) cover that are intended to keep the person wearing one from spreading respiratory secretions when talking, sneezing, or coughing. They are not PPE and it is uncertain whether cloth face coverings protect the wearer. Guidance on design, use, and maintenance of cloth face coverings is available.

And this:

A facemask for source control does not replace the need to wear an N95 or higher-level respirator (or other recommended PPE) when indicated, including when caring for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
Of note, N95 or other respirators with an exhaust valve might not provide source control.

Can the American public understand this plain language, a public that can’t even read and write well enough? No wonder even the main stream media do not lay out the plain truth, they don’t think it will sink in.

Wearing a cloth over your face is a PLACEBO, does little or nothing for you.
