"The mask is our generation's version of hiding under your school desk for protection against a nuclear explosion."
Unless one's using an N95 Respirator -
Dust Masks are as Effective & Reality-Based as carrying a Rabbit's Foot ...
A Dust Mask's two layers of áss wipe DON'T Stop a Virus?!
Disillusioning, ain't it?
Like finding out your Parents hid the Easter Eggs ...
The evaluation Strongly suggests protection provided by Any mask Less than an N95 Respirator is "Statistically Insignificant" ...
So hair-splittingly Tiny as to be essentially Worthless - on par with a Rabbit's Foot.
Rather than rail against the Evidence - USE The Info!!
If one's SERIOUS 'bout using a mask -
Lose the Worthless Dust Mask & Upgrade to an N95!!
This is NOT Rocket Surgery, Y'all!!

In response to the US population being Overweight -
The US Gov't has created a Task Force to look into Repealing The Law Of Gravity.
Next week's New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square will be "scaled back," with fewer revelers and everyone required to wear a mask, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's office said Thursday.
The celebration in Times Square typically holds around 58,000 people in viewing areas, but this year it will be limited to 15,000 people and visitors will not be allowed entry into the area until 3 p.m., the office said in a news release.
take a number of masks and step outside on a cold winter's day where it's possible.
which coverings actually help block and which ones don't? wearing masks at work every day. nothing like stepping outside being able to smell the smoke from the smoking areas seep right in almost like wearing nothing.
30-40% suggested protection? how well does that work for the number of occurrences that might be talking place through out the day when the so-called protection might be needed?
numbers go down with time and use, not up. that includes infections and death they say are related to the virus.
As said before ANY type of face covering is better than none, even a hand can reduce the spread from a sneeze or cough.
One could Always pick 'em up at, say, Home Depot® or hardware stores.
With Covid, they're now Widely available @ Walmart® & other outlets.
Agreed.
A Dust Mask will reduce the spread of snot & spittle.
The EVIDENCE, however, indicates they Do NOT Significantly reduce the spread of COVID.
Some of us may Reject the Data - I Get That Awready!! -
But the NUMBERS Are what they ARE.
I'll Not address this Ad Infinitum -
Dredging it up further will be regarded as
Patients and visitors will be offered Mayo Clinic-provided surgical/procedural masks when they go through the screening process or when they check in. Patients with unacceptable masks, including those with exhalation valves, neck gaiters or bandanas, will be required to wear medical-grade masks (surgical/procedural, N95 or KN-95)
* Surgical or procedural masks (tie or ear loop)
* N95 or KN-95 masks without vents

The premier healthcare facility now requires N95 masks ...
Essentially acknowledging the evaluation in the OP presentation that cloth masks (let alone craft dust masks) do Little/Nothing to control the spread of Covid.
Tacit acknowledgement that Cloth & Dust Masks are of Little/Any value ...
By sometime on Tuesday ...
Handin' those things out must've been like wavin' bloody meat at sharks!!
I was exposed to a Covid positive family member last Saturday at my second daughter's wedding. So, I was self isolating with no symptoms at all now for 7 days. I wasn't wearing a mask at the wedding and even hugged the person when he was leaving. He wasn't wearing a mask either.
I don't believe anything about the virus anymore. Both of us are fully vaccinated and boosted. He got it from somewhere else. I think.
Funny enough none of the people who came in to contact with him at the wedding has gotten any symptoms so far.
I don't have insomnia but I won't waste my time on this virus anymore.
A waste of Public Money!
Nothing more Nothing Less!.....
