GeneralBeacon: N95s need to be reserved for use for all P1 essential health care workers and other frontline responders whose jobs put them at much greater risk of acquiring COVID-19. If you have the money and they are available legally go for it... still their life span in the real world is limited and without training how to use them they become useless ( especially if made in China ). Two-ply cloth washable masks are good enough if you also wash your hands often, keep your distance from others, and don't spend your whole day in a grocery store or mall. We have the frame type that can be washed along with throw-away 3-ply filters and yet are not available to the general public. Mix 1/4 cup of Aloe Vera with 3/4 cup of 90%+ rubbing alcohol and this is perfect as a hand sanitizer in a small plastic bottle for daily use or when needed.
We? You were an engineer a few weeks ago..I guess you must've changed careers and are a doctor now..
blathin: No...but you elude to it and that's almost more disingenious than plain flat out lying....
You're actually hilarious, what you interpret is not my problem as you're wrong and I didn't lie... in reality, I need to have knowledge of numerous disciplines in what I do, and if anything you are the one giving a false appearance of yourself while you troll.
Because I'm high risk as well as having respect for all when in public..I wear my aussie flag masks on public transport & places of business...My mask as well as me social distancing is my vaccine..I'm not hung up on an actual vaccine..When I was in lock down for four months I had nothing but time to think about what I wanted going forward so I'm not going to get hung up on stressing about a vaccine.
If all countries aren't on the same page believing in science then this pandemic will be here forever..Every leader and citizen needs to respect this virus for what it is..Every citizen of ever country needs to be on the same page.

secretagent09: Tara..........The point of the article is to explain what happens when people wear masks and respect social distancing. It also explains that when the virus can't find a host to live off of it will die a little more each day. It's not about preaching masks and keeping your distance. The article tells you WHY it's important to follow guidelines. We see that people don't want to be told to wear a mask. I'm hoping that if they understand why it's important to wear a mask they will be a part of the solution to killing off COVID-19.
Point is that even when 1 person in the world has covid 19 the disease isn't gone. That one person can infect 100's of other people and then the whole cyclus starts all over again. I think, only when there is a safe and secure vaccin and everybody gets this vaccin we are done with covid 19.
Taralyn: We're going into month 8 of this pandemic and all the experts have already stated, restated and stated yet again why it's important to wear the masks, social distance and no one gives a hoot or follows advice until the infection rates/numbers go off the chart again. Do any of the nonbelievers of the pandemic realize how few people it takes to cause this to spread again and shut down the world ...... yet again??
Need to call the White House in Washington DC and ask why we have so many sick Republicans with Covid-19. These are our leaders! If we had real leadership we would not be dealing with this! It is beyond craziness!

If you had loony libtards running things, there would be open borders, and the Chinese virus would be the least of your worries...

Post some proof,I mean PROOF,not the Pelosi/Democrat-Talkingpoints you're so fond of!
And we will look back and wish we hadn't bothered. Dodging the virus will give way to reforming ourselves. Why is modernity obese, anxiety-ridden and walking like a mong? Because its unfit for life. First world living makes for a weak vegetable person and we must develop people who can control their emotions, endure a flu, and walk in a straight line. Maybe even learn to dance again. We need to de-spastic posterity after decades of developing a complete spacker.
GeneralBeacon: No one will tell you if masks save lives... it's a non-statistic. What the experts also don't tell you is how many patients were infected by COVID19 always having used masks and even died of other causes using masks.
Not understanding the point here. Wearing masks do save lives and that is how this virus konks out along with washing your hands. If you have a heart attack and kick the bucket that is another story.
