Bull****. All kinds of standards right he https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...coverings.html I've shown you this before, but you choose to disregard it as it doesn't fit your agenda. "Your cloth face covering may protect them. Their cloth face covering may protect you." Note the word "may". We may have snow in Ft Myers but I am not buying a snow shovel. Anything that starts right out with "may work" does not sound like a standard in any scientific sense. Of you showed up at any OSHA regulated work space with a bandanna on your face, they would kick you out. (to avoid a fine) OSHA does have standards about what constitutes a mask. Yes, there is some probability the mask will protect neither. However, there *is* a standard about 'what a mask is'. It is not a standard if anything from an N-95 to a neck gaiter passes the test... ... unless we are just saying any gesture counts. Can I just draw a mask on my face with face paint? You actually got that from the CDC article above? Yes, you can draw a mask on your face with face paint. Just cover it with a real one when you go shopping. That is the flaw in all of this, a "real" what? For the third time: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...coverings.html A neck gaiter? They only say they block a certain percentage of U/V light and brag about how easy they are to breathe through. A bandanna that doesn't seal to your face at all? Either will get you into Costco, the only place I have been with a mask policy. OTOH The Costco employees are wearing lexan face shields, not any kind of mask at all. Any contamination that stops is going right down on the surfaces and products in front of them. Keep that in mind when you are opening that roaster chicken or handling that 30 pack of Charmin. These are simply feel good gestures. The purpose of the mask is not to keep things out but to keep them in. Maybe you missed that. Luddite and I should have been more clear. So now handkerchiefs have a magic one way fiber? I suppose they should throw out anyone at Costco with an N-95 that has the valve in front. That is exactly the opposite of what you say these are good for. Read this. It may help. Note that N95 masks are not mentioned. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...coverings.html A surgical N95 (also referred as a medical respirator) is recommended only for use by healthcare personnel (HCP) who need protection from both airborne and fluid hazards (e.g., splashes, sprays). Of course, there are stupid folks everywhere. They said that to avoid a run on medical supplies that were getting hard to come by but they still wanted to throw a bone to those people who wanted to think they were doing something. Now this issue has gained a life of it's own. Just based on the fact that Costco is giving away surgical masks at the door, I assume the supply chain has caught up. I am now wondering how long this nonsense is going to go on. Is this a phase 3 or a phase 4 thing? Are there going to be people who just wear a mask forever now? Probably. People in Asian countries have been wearing masks for decades for reasons that include but are not limited to as a courtesy to others. Mostly they wear them because of the intense air pollution is my thought. They also wear real respirators, not a piece of an old T shirt. Where is 'old T shirt' mentioned? Or 'do rag'? Or anything other than a cloth face covering with specifications. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...coverings.html That's what I mean about bobbleheading the subject. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |
