JK Fresco posted:Surgical masks don't seal so they let air in on the sides. Because the purpose of the masks is to stop your coughs from shooting droplets out, not filter air You said "don't protect" ... you just described "protect you less effectively". Are you aware that to infect, it isn't enough for a single virus to get through, but that a certain viral load must be achieved?

COVID-19 mutates fairly slowly so unless it hss other weird features they should be able to make a vaccine The reason people were caught off guard is because it's novel and there was no warning, because there was a coverup

my game plan is to do the old t shirt thing and not bother with gloves when i haveta go out from now on. it's short trips, and i'll just keep scrubbin' my hands when i come back..i don't see how gloves will help whatsoever when i need to wash my hands after taking them off anyway...maybe that's me. also making my current shoes outside shoes, and the brand new pair in a box i had on deck inside shoes. trying to get the rest of groceries delivered is going to suckkkkkk (nyc)..if half of ny is getting this, i'm trying to hold out as long as i can

I said come in! posted:On the off chance that I go out into public during all of this, I would wear a mask, but still act as if I wasn't wearing one, so staying 6 feet away, things like that. I think it's safe to say that even an expired mask is better than no mask. Hell even using your shirt to cover your mouth and nose is better than nothing. Just use what you can. Not sure why the surgeon general was telling us not to wear masks earlier. Probably to prevent hoarding and shortages, but I think it caused more harm than good.

JK Fresco posted:COVID-19 mutates fairly slowly so unless it hss other weird features they should be able to make a vaccine There were multiple attempts at a SARS-COV-1 vaccine over the past two decades, the ones which reached rodent trials all resulted in a considerably higher fatality rate than the virus itself. It'd be great if the media stopped calling this "coronavirus" and addressed it for what it is: a mutation of SARS. I'm not saying a vaccine is impossible with the full weight of the world bearing down on the researchers now, just that most of the groundwork has already been done on this and come up against a brick wall. Repeatedly. If they succeed maybe we'll learn something and actually start funding fusion research, too.

In germany the WHO and RKI literally outright said they recommend against masks because medical personnel need as many of them as possible, i.e. fully acknowledged that the recommendation against them had nothing to do with effectiveness and was only based on "average people are genocidal idiots".

Masks don't help you they help everyone else. This is the standard line. They probably help indirectly by making you think twice before shoving your dirty hands into your nose and mouth

Mithaldu posted:If you can, also put some kitchen towel or tissue layers inbetween the shirt's cotton layers. And gloves would only make sense insofar as they keep the virus from going into skin folds, under your nails etc. This is more a concern when you're in an environment with a LOT of the virus around. You're hysterical Seriously stop making poo poo up off of suggestions you've read on the internet

Mithaldu posted:Correct. The droplets carrying it are however airborne for a varying (if admittedly low) amount of time, depending on environment, air flow, etc. So you're still having some work to do to prove "masks don't protect".

You're supposed to wear the mask to prevent spreading the virus to others. They might be better than nothing but you should in no way rely on them if you're actually being exposed. Then you need actual PPE like a respirator. But a normal member of the public shouldn't be getting exposed in the first place
