It's sad that apparently to convince people to wear masks, you have to show them that masks might actually protect them, and not just others.

It was still a stupid mistake by the CDC. No one is holding them blameless. But it's not any reason to think masks don't work. We figured out in this thread that masks work before the CDC finally turned around. |

They're using... cloth. Which, correct me if I'm wrong, is more abundantly sourced now than it was in 1918. |

Even surgical masks were hard to come by in March. Hospitals near me were taking them as donations.
And people were already trying to buy up as much N-95 masks as they could. They were being gouged like crazy on Amazon and ebay and through wholesalers. The belief at the time was that paper masks do more to protect others from you than the other way around (although it's turning out paper masks reduce viral load and probably protect the wearer more than originally thought). |

If cloth masks were acceptable for protecting other people in 1918, and if cloth masks are acceptable for protecting other people presently, then why weren't cloth masks acceptable for protecting other people seven months ago? |

Does this really need to be covered again?

LOL exactly proving my point.
I literally answered your exact question several posts up. People don't just make cloth masks, they go out and buy the best mask they can get which puts even more strain on the raging PPE shortage. Also SARS-I wasn't airborne. They were playing it like SARS-I at first. You don't want an answer. You just want to troll. And like all trolls - you're going on my ignore from now on. I can't think of any post of value I've ever read of yours. They're all just snarky one-liner trolls. Life's too short for this nonsense. |
