I just did another cursory review of the article. Can you please point out where it states that cloth mask protect unless worn improperly? It seems as though you are reading the article with extreme bias and drawing conclusion about the article that simple are not there. However, I only did a cursory review so maybe I am wrong. I did not read that cloth mask are effective unless worn improperly. Please post the quote that states that. What I read basically stated that cloth mask are ineffective and might even be the cause of you getting Covid-19 if you touch the outside of the mask after wearing it. https://aapsonline.org/mask-facts/ Below is the quote I think that you are referring to: Self-contamination through repeated use and improper doffing is possible. A contaminated cloth mask may transfer pathogen from the mask to the bare hands of the wearer. Below are several other quotes from the article: Conclusion: Wearing masks will not reduce SARS-CoV-2. Cloth masks will be ineffective at preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission, whether worn as source control or as personal protective equipment (PPE). Filter efficiency was measured across a wide range of small particle sizes (0.02 to 1 µm) at 33 and 99 L/min Cloth masks 10% to 30%,
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-...-overrides-all-local-mask-orders-in-the-state Georgia governor overrides all local mask orders in the state Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) is prohibiting local municipalities across the state from mandating that masks be worn in public to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. Kemp’s executive order issued Wednesday prevents local governments from enforcing mandatory face covering orders that are more restrictive than the current statewide order. The move effectively voided orders issued by at least 15 local governments across the state, according to The Associated Press. Rather than imposing a mandatory requirement, Kemp’s order states that residents and visitors in the state are “strongly encouraged to wear face coverings as practicable” when in public except when eating, drinking or exercising outdoors.
MAGAtard goes after "uppity" strong black woman. it is now clear the GOP strategy is to have cases explode in states now in play so they can curb civil participation during voting season.
I don't understand why its so hard to figure out if people can catch this stuff multiple times. We have over a million cases, surely the data is there. How many have been re-infected? I still think vaping kills the sh*t btw. Propylene Glycol is what they use in those things. I posted this before: http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,932876,00.html 1942 Study Conducted by Dr Oswald Robertson at The University of Chicago Billings Hospital on Propylene Glycol as a Germicidal Agent A powerful preventive against pneumonia, influenza and other respiratory diseases may be promised by a brilliant series of experiments conducted during the last three years at the University of Chicago's Billings Hospital. Dr. Oswald Hope Robertson last week was making final tests with a new germicidal vapor—propylene glycol—to sterilize air. If the results so far obtained are confirmed, one of the age-old searches of man will finally achieve its goal. The idea of sterilizing the air is not new —London's great fire of 1666, for example, was touched off by the countless fires which townsmen lit to purge the air of plague. Use of chemical sprays to control air contamination was first attempted in 1928 by three doctors who tried a fine mist of sea water containing sodium hypochlorite. This venture gave promising results, but all such research lapsed for another decade. Within the last few years, several research groups (notably the University of Pennsylvania's new Air-Borne Disease Laboratories) again began testing various sprays. Many chemicals were found to kill airborne micro-organisms quickly, even in concentrations as low as one gram of chemical per 500 cu. ft. of air. Trouble was that all these air germicides smelled bad, or were toxic, or irritated the respiratory tract. Dr. Robertson's propylene glycol vapor is odorless, tasteless, nontoxic, non-irritating, cheap, highly bactericidal. Its discovery was accidental. Dr. Robertson and his colleagues were trying out another possible germicide—a detergent or "soapless soap" (similar to Dreft, Aerosol and other products widely sold for household and industrial use). Water solutions of the detergent were only mildly effective, so the researchers tried solutions of detergents in propylene glycol, which is a sort of thin glycerine. Results were much better. Then the researchers found that the propylene glycol itself was a potent germicide. One part of glycol in 2,000,000 parts of air would—within a few seconds—kill concentrations of air-suspended pneumococci, streptococci and other bacteria numbering millions to the cubic foot. How did it work? Respiratory disease bacteria float about in tiny droplets of water breathed, sneezed and coughed from human beings. The germicidal glycol also floats in infinitesimally small particles. Calculations showed that if droplet had to hit droplet, it would take two to 200 hours for sterilization of sprayed air to take place. Since sterilization took place in seconds, Dr. Robertson concluded that the glycol droplets must give off gas molecules which dissolve in the water droplets and kill the germs within them. Dr. Robertson placed groups of mice in a chamber and sprayed its air first with propylene glycol, then with influenza virus. All the mice lived. Then he sprayed the chamber with virus alone. All the mice died. Propylene glycol is harmless to man when swallowed or injected into the veins. It is also harmless to mice who have breathed it for long periods. But medical science is cautious—there was still a remote chance that glycol might accumulate harmfully in the erect human lungs which, unlike those of mice, do not drain themselves. So last June Dr. Robertson began studying the effect of glycol vapor on monkeys imported from the University of Puerto Rico's School of Tropical Medicine. So far, after many months' exposure to the vapor, the monkeys are happy and fatter than ever. Dr. Robertson does not expect mankind to live, like his monkeys, continuously in an atmosphere of glycol vapor; but it should be most valuable in such crowded places as schools and theaters, where most respiratory diseases are picked up.
Carcinogens aside, just sayin.... E-cigarette liquid,[124] E-Cig liquid,[8] e-liquid, juice, vapor juice, smoke juice,[12] vaping fluid,[125] vaping juice,[126] e-juice,[127] e-fluid,[14] or vape oil[128] is the mixture used in vapor products including e-cigarettes.[29] The main ingredients are propylene glycol, glycerin, and flavorings; and most often, nicotine in liquid form.
Hmph.... I didn't know this. Don't want the carcinogens? Buy a fogger. They're actually pretty cheap. I mean I dunno, but one of these disease agencies should do a study of this. You could fog classrooms, restaurants,... you name it. Those foggers are harmless. They're actually pretty cool, makes the air smell good. Imagine VZ saving the world. So-called 'smoke machines' or 'hazers' vaporize a mixture of PG and water to create the illusion of smoke. While many of these machines use a PG-based fuel, some use oil. Those which use PG do so in a process which is identical to how electronic cigarettes work; utilizing a heating element to produce a dense vapor. The vapor produced by these machines has the aesthetic look and appeal of smoke, but without exposing performers and stage crew to the harms and odors associated with actual smoke.
"We are United in our effort to defeat the Invisible China Virus, and many people say that it is Patriotic to wear a face mask when you can't socially distance," Trump tweeted on Monday -- nearly three months after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended wearing masks in public. "There is nobody more Patriotic than me, your favorite President!" he added. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...... what a pussy.....bragging about the 1 time he wore a mask at a hospital BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL REQUIRED HIM TO WEAR IT.. The man would need a promotion just to qualify as used semen in a condom.
