    Default Lock-downs could be avoided if 95% of people wore masks, says WHO

    (CNN)Lock-downs could be avoided if everyone followed health measures such as wearing masks, the World Health Organization's top European official said at a Thursday news briefing.

    WHO Regional Director Hans Kluge urged the public to follow guidance to help to prevent deaths.

    He said that if 95% of people wore masks, instead of the current 60%, "lock-downs would not be needed" -- although he added that mask use was not a "panacea" and needed to be combined with other measures.

    "If we all do our share, lock-downs are avoidable," Kluge said.

    "The virus thrives on doubts, on the governmental decisions being late," he added.

    Lock downs "could" be avoided, vaccines "are not a silver bullet", masks are not a "panacea".......
    Just go live your life.
    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.

    If you choose not to cover your face you are possibly infecting everyone you come in contact with. Why do you think hospitals are so terribly overcrowded?

    Then stay the fuck at home. Unless you can give it to yourself, you have nothing to worry about. If I want to go about my business and I catch it, that's my problem, none of your concern, and not anything that affects you if you stay closed up like a pussy.

    I'm not going to stay at home because YOU think I should.

    If you choose to stay the fuck at home like you believe people should do, whether or not someone is wearing a mask isn't an issue.

    Ever notice how all the crybabies expect others to constantly do something for them.

    In other news, if you add 2 on top of an existing 2, it = 4.

    Why such high standards. It cuts down on transmission rates. The flu vaccine is not a guarantee, yet millions take the shot. It gives them a better "shot" at not getting it. They find it worthwhile.

    I think the 60 percent figure is very low, in my community you see a vast overwhelming amount of people wearing masks. and im talking well over 95 percent.

    In also we still don't know for sure how many ways covid has and can be transmitted.
    We also didn't have the supply of PPE in the beginnings as Barry didn't replace them after the 60 million Americans got sick from the n1 virus when he was president.
    I my self don't have much faith in the WHO .
