    Masks are effective? Is that so, Andrew?

    And what’s with ‘culturalizing’ masks? What’s that even mean?
    Let's see. Everyone in the medical community says masks help slow the spread of the virus. And you think you were RIGHT not to wear one? LOL at you. You aren't too bright, are you?

    Masks or no masks for yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs..........they still get every version of flu that comes around.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Nonsensical.

    If Americans were really serious about re-opening the economy fully, they'd look at a part of the world that has already done so w/ great success and minimum casualties, and try to emulate that.

    What do we do hear? Masks, distancing, testing - it's all "oppression." We're facing a pandemic and everyone wants to A) go on as normal, and B) not do a single thing to enable going on as normal.

    It's called wanting to have your cake and eat it too, I think.

    So wear a dang mask the rest of your life. No one is stopping you. I posted elsewhere that now the WHO has changed their guidelines...again.
    They and the CDC now have a differing mask-wearing views...again!. Do what you want. It's still a free country for a while.

    Lazy retort.

    No one is talking about "for the rest of your lives," and it only works if everyone (or nearly everyone) does it. No one is talking about doing it in open spaces - only where distancing isn't as possible.

    The only thing I've said is, why don't we all try it for a month? What is the big friggin' deal? Not sure if you've noticed, but we've lost a lot of jobs, and people want to get back to work. This is potentially a way we could all do it & keep infection rates down.

    If you don't want masks, testing, distancing, etc. - what is your solution to this? Any plan at all?

An increasing number of frontline providers are wondering whether this effort should include universal use of masks by all health care workers. Universal masking is already standard practice in Hong Kong, Singapore, and other parts of Asia and has recently been adopted by a handful of U.S. hospitals.

    We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.

    Pretty sure I was right in not donning the virus catcher lol. Makes me 9-2 on the panic pandemic for those keeping score from home
    Ask yourself why we wear masks in surgery.

    To prevent droplets from getting into the surgical site or onto the surgical field and causing a wound or post-op infection. They also afford some protection if the patient would cough or spit on intubation or extubation. Getting someone’s spit [or blood] on your face is gross not to mention infection risks. IMO, eye protection is more important than a mask in terms of self-protection—from AIDS, hepatitis and other blood borne pathogens that can be transmitted via the eyes.

    We are right over top of the patient [you were at the head? Lol] with an open belly or open hip, or whatever, and not outside or several feet away from the next person. And we dispose of them the minute we are done with them.

    There are so many unintended consequences with public mask use I’m suspicious that it does more harm than good.

    Cuomo is encouraging gangs and thugs to wear masks in public. Now what is he going to do, make that illegal?

    Think what you want. Do what you want.
    Who's right? The CDC or the WHO by the way? You will make a choice. Just like the rest of us. Peace. Out.
