Um, yeah, no, piss off
CDC updates coronavirus face mask guidance, endorses ‘double masking’
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its mask guidance on Wednesday to include data from a recent lab experiment that found placing a cloth mask over a surgical mask, as well as using a properly fitted mask, was effective in stopping coronavirus spread.
The update, which was announced by CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky during a White House coronavirus briefing, comes after a lab experiment using simulated respiratory breaths found that placing a cloth mask over a medical procedure mask or using a medical procedure mask with knotted ear loops and tucked in sides decreased exposure to potentially infectious aerosols by about 95%.
The question now becomes “how soon do certain governors and mayors (primarily Democrats) start mandating this?” Will they give this a shot? Especially since it is rather difficult to get medical grade masks, and because they need to be disposed of after one wearing. And people like to throw theirs on the ground. Because they’re jerks. And will people comply? I highly doubt it, even Biden voters in Biden areas.
Besides, I thought they told us that wearing a mask was good enough 9 months ago. That it would slow the spread. Despite a huge spike. Will Joe, Kamala, his staff, and so forth double mask?
My thanks to the esteemed Mr Teach. We’re looking at a serious ice storm in the Bluegrass State, and the last one knocked out my sparktricity for 4½ days! We haven’t lost power yet, but we could soon.
You can tell if someone is wearing a mask from a good distance off, and, if so inclined, decide not to get near an unmasked person.
But double masks? You need to get a lot closer to tell if someone is wearing a single or double mask.
