Covering your face during a pandemic can not be a bad idea.....I don't understand the argument against it.....I don't believe that.....this virus is arousal like...the 3m particulate mask will keep you from breathing it in...it also reminds you to not touch your face until you have sanitized your hands....I would rather have one on in a room with a sick person than not.....and you don't know who is infected and who isn't....its a safeguard...why deny that?....Well I really don't care what the CDC says...I'm wearing a mask when I go to the store and gloves and I keep sanitizer in my truck.....I know the CDC is worried about a false sense of security but I don't care...I'm responsible for me....and its not about dying.....its about not wanting to get sick...this virus is a buttkicker in the right people....if you catch it you will wish you were dead...cover your face and wear gloves....
You do know that the masks do NOTHING to stop YOU from getting sick, right? And if mishandled (most of them are) can actually HELP you get sick by making sure that a surface that could be contaminated is pressed to your face at all times?
It's not a safeguard against YOU getting the virus, it's a safeguard for OTHERS if you are infected.
It's well known and all over the internet:
The No. 1 way to prevent coronavirus isn't wearing a face mask
Health officials have revised their guidance on face masks.www.cbsnews.com
Surgeon general agrees:
Surgeon General Jerome Adams in March said to reserve masks for healthcare providers
Back in March, the CDC recommended masks for "people who show symptoms of COVID-19."www.usatoday.com
At first the CDC said don't bother wearing a mask, it won't help you. Then they discovered that so many people were asymptomatic yet positive they recommend everyone wear a face covering not for themselves but incase they are positive they won't infect others.
You can get covid19 through your eyes as well if the virus touches your eye from the air.
Because your face mask is not air tight and not even good enough to stop the virus from getting into your body. It can get into your body through your eyes with particulates floating in the air, and those masks don't even go near your exposed eyes. Think about it. A surgeon doesn't wear a mask to make sure the person hes cutting open doesn't give HIM an infection, its so HE doesn't infect the person hes cutting open.
You wear a face mask to protect OTHERS from you, not to protect you from other people.
