Corona Virus, How Has It Affected Your Area So Far?

?

So, you're stating supposed facts that are really just your opinion after whining about people doing just that. Good talk.

I was discussing the topic. You came in and only whined about other posters, as usual.

I’ll be surprised if you have that kind of self-control. But yes, back to the topic.

I wonder if the coronavirus was good or bad to the brand

kinda bad. they halted production ~ was deemed non essential

Took a break from this for the weekend. But damn Eiryl, you're so wrong. Masks absolutely DO NOT make you more likely to get sick. If they did, why would medical workes wear them? Seriously, just stop.
When infected people wear a cloth mask, it covers their mouth and reduces the spread from droplets. Since this disease spreads asymptomatically, claiming only people who "are sick" should wear them is stupid since symptoms are not always an indication you are infected.
If you are wearing a mask and do get exposed, the mask will still reduce the viral load you are exposed to. Meaning you will have a better chance to fight it off.
Finally, having a mask on will remind you to not touch your face.
Masks are incredibly important right now. So kireek was 100% correct. If the government can force people to not work, then they can also force media to teach proper mask use.
Masks aren't going to make people sick. Ignorance will. And you are spreading ignorance.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is completely wrong. Covid is like the common cold. It does not mutate very quickly, but our antibodies degrade very fast. You can be reinfected within months.

I'm not a doctor, I'm just repeating what I heard from a doctor.

If people are getting sick because they aren't using a mask properly, then the correct way to solve this issue is educate people, not telling them "don't use it, just stay at home".

How hard is it to create "how to use a face mask" tutorial on media and internet? Just make them and educate people.

Surgical masks absolutely work. It's the standard "recommendation" in countries that has been successful at dealing with this virus. Are you saying that experts from successful countries are all wrong about surgical masks?

There are countries that never need to enter lockdown phase. They promote "masks for all(including surgical masks or even cloth masks"), have a tons of "how to use a mask" tutorials(made by the government) on the internet so people use them correctly.

If "masks shouldn't be used" mentality is still common in NA, then there's certainly a HUGE gap in terms of information available between countries that are successful, and countries that's currently suffering from lockdowns. And I wonder why.

I mean, tell people stay at home and never go out is easier than give people correct information, I get it. But that's the least effective way than face masks because 1) people will not follow after a few weeks 2) it hurts economy.

Man when did a bunch of gaming idiots become specialists in COVID-19? I truly wish whoever reads this crap don't listen to any of the BS people are spouting here. Bunch of political bias hacks who either watches FOX news or MSNBC. GTFOOH. You people can fight either other all you want but don't spout opinions as facts like you know something because you absolutely do not.

I saw this "false sense of security" talk from an western "expert" a few months ago. I think it's *** sad that one person said this then most NA population see this as some kind of golden rule that they must follow. Then people died because of it.

And the idiot just proves to be more idiotic and childish.

This is false. From a source that I posted a few page back, if I remember correctly, it said Surgical mask is about 95% effective against droplets. Cloth mask is about 70%.

Just because it's not 100% effective, doesn't mean it's 0. Last time I checked 70% > 0.

If people turn into idiots and start touching their face, or get close to others because they wear a mask, blame the people, not the masks.

I mean, how hard is it to learn social distancing and proper way to remove a mask? It's not rocket science to practice social distancing AND wear a mask, then remove it properly when you get home.

If it's hard its because of all the false information on the internet.

Each mask has a protection and use. And to prevent biological danger like virus those face masks arent appropriate. Just think the retention mechanism of a facial mask are all bigger than the size of a vírus. So virus are going through it like it was nothing.

Actual masks that protect against this type of danger need to completely cover your face and has an independant supply of oxygen. What is impractical to use for common people

That without saying that every IPE requires testing to see if it can propely seal user respiration and requires training to proper use. In practice, people just put it in the face while the sides are loosened what kills the purpose of the mask.

That said, using mask nowaday means more a social measure like "here, im doing something about safety". But i also it helps at least to prevent people to touch their face before washing.

Pretty sure surgical masks can block droplets as long as its FDA approved. Misinformation needs to stop.


If mask doesn't do anything, why do health workers wear them? Oh wait because it works.

Please go read what surgical mask do before spreading misinformation on the internet -.-

Edit: the point of the mask is to block droplets since that's how the virus transmitted.

The WHO are war criminals IMO. We are at war against a virus and they betrayed humanity and took sides with the virus.

Go away.

You didn't read a damn thing lol. Not surprising.

Try reading next time. Masks (non n95) give you a false sense of security. You will get it if you wear a cloth mask. it will not do anything.

You are at higher risk with a false sense of security than you would be with nothing.

I said absolutely nothing about if you are already sick, you should wear a mask to stop your spreading. (you should, but it also gives you a false sense of security. a cloth mask will not fully seal your face and fully stop spread, merely reduce)

This guy understood, instead of bullshitting, but I didn't see it first.
