WHO guidance: Healthy people should wear masks only when 'taking care of' coronavirus patients

[wamose]

Trump just terminated the USA's relationship with WHO.

Well done, Mr President

Now do the same with the Useless Nations

Absolutely. I can't believe we give money to either of those idiotic, do nothing, Communist Chinese mouthpieces. We should quit being involved in anything Red China belongs to.

Oh, look. First we were told by the "experts" masks were virtually useless and could actually make you sick. Then we were told it was imperative you wear one and anyone who doesn't wants granny to die. Now we're back to square one again.

WHO guidance: Healthy people should wear masks only when 'taking care of' coronavirus patients

The World Health Organization is recommending that healthy people, including those who don't exhibit COVID-19 symptoms, only wear masks when taking care of someone infected with the contagion, a sharp contrast from the advice of American public health officials who recommend everyone wear a mask...

www.foxnews.com

from march?

"If you do not have any respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough or runny nose, you do not need to wear a mask," Dr. April Baller, a public health specialist for the WHO, says in a video on the world health body's website posted in March. "Masks should only be used by health care workers, caretakers or by people who are sick with symptoms of fever and cough."

How about straight from the WHO website TODAY? KaBOOM! Like many of us with a lick of sense have been saying, the mask thing is waaaaay overdone. When and how to use masks

And also from the website...

• If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with COVID-19.
• Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing.
• Masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
• If you wear a mask, then you must know how to use it and dispose of it properly

Can anyone tell me where to find the biohazard containers, or am I supposed to just use the Walmart parking lot like everyone else???

do you maggots realize that the WHO gives advice to the world. and that national governments can naturally expand on that, or ignore it? in march this mask advice was completely reasonable. it still is, as long as the situation is under control. in march your clown of a president went on rallies and denied the pandemic until the markets crashed. now, thanks to this ignorance, the situation changed, for YOU. deal with it, instead of blaming everyone else, you soup of weaklings pretending to be alpha males. lol

And saying that Covid 19 isn't contagious sure was excellent advice...

Crazy Uncle Joe won't quit sniffing people!!!

Long ago my father told me the UN was useless...he was rarely wrong.

Well he was wrong once, he told me my husband wasn't good enough for me....17 years later I'm quite content with him. That's a daddy thing though

They say the same exact thing!

Yo, WHO. Why don't you and your witchdoctors and medicine men take a hike. We don't need any snake jiggling Chinese apologists giving us idiotic advice. Stay in Red China where you belong.

----------------------------------------------------------

(in march, like I said you can't just believe everything on Fox) There was a shortage of masks in march, because why?? tramp gave our PPE's to China in Feb.

Also I can't find out who Dr. April Baller is?? I figure its a fake name.

The WHO has not updated since then meaning they still believe what they wrote back then is still relevant...

So why force healthy people to wear masks if the WHO hasn't change their opinion on the matter?

Frankly, you don't really need the WHO or the CDC to tell you about masks. Common sense and a little rudimentary knowledge about the medical field will do that.

You know when you go to the hospital for surgery? You know all that protective gear the surgical team wears - the gown, the hat, the booties . . . the mask? That's all 100% for YOUR protection, not theirs. They don't want to get their germs into your open wounds. (The gloves are actually for your protection AND theirs, because their hands are in contact with your blood, and they don't want to get some blood-borne pathogen from you because of a papercut on their finger.)

When you go to the ER, they have a sign that says, "If you're coughing, please request a mask." Why? To protect other people from your germs.

If medical staff wants to protect themselves from your contagions (under normal circumstances, when supplies aren't hard to come by), they go with rather different protective gear. N95 masks with filters, for a start.

So yeah. Masks are for protecting other people from you, not you from them. You wear a mask when that's a concern, and you don't when it's not. That's it.

Cloth Masks are a hazard to your health. Wearing a cloth or paper mask can:

(1) Reduce the flow of oxygen, thereby increasing the output of cortisol.​

(2) Elevated levels of cortisol impedes the function of the immune system.​

(3) An immune system that is poorly functioning is less capable of combating disease and illness.​

(4) Wearing a mask causes the wearer to breathe in carbon dioxide.​

(5) Carbon dioxide intake results in SHORTNESS OF BREATH.​

(6) Carbon dioxide intake results in increased heart rate and blood pressure.​

(7) Carbon dioxide intake results in visual and auditory harms, including dimmed sight and reduced hearing​

(8) Carbon dioxide intake results in dizziness, confusion, headache and ultimately, unconsciousness.​

(9) We need to be exposed to germs on a regular basis for the immune system to function.​

I don't wear a mask and object to doing so is because I understand that the UNIMPEDED flow of oxygen is essential to my health and immune system. -When you DECREASE the flow of oxygen, your body produces cortisol, which harms your immune function. -In other words, unless you are already sick or have a weakened immune system, wearing a mask is going to do more harm than good.
