Shhhhhh everybody don't wear masks okay. Anubis and Skendo have said so and Anubis, well he has fwends and the fwends said definitely don't wear them. So hush now and shhhhhh, we don't want to upset anyone who doesn't like the masks even though the World Health Organisation admit that they help reducing the spread of infection and we don't know who is infected because some carriers are asymptomatic, but shhhhhh never mind all that just be good little boys and girls and don't wear a mask at all because a disease that enters and exits through the mouth and nose couldn't possibly be prevented by wearing a mask okay so just shhhhhh let's not have a grown up discussion about it okay we can't even discuss it because Anubis's fwend said so. Shhhhhhhhhh quiet at the back.

You'd need to wear goggles and a hazmat not just a mask, the masks actually are better on the infected than the non infected they keep more droplets in.

This is just absurd. You do not need a hazmat to take some basic and affordable precautions.

If you want to properly protect your self you do, again the masks do fuck all, your face needs to be covered as will most of your pores.

So you know ask the nurses.... 

I like the bit where it recommends wearing a mask.

So just to be clear. Healthcare professionals should wear a mask to reduce the risk of spreading infection. But normal plebs like me shouldn't wear one becuase the mask's protection magically disappears unless you are a healthcare worker. Okay, that all makes perfect sense.

Why do drs performing operations wear masks?

I've got one mask which I'll be wearing next time I enter a shop, I've also got about 80pairs of gloves which will also  be on. I put them on like just now to get my mail and then clean them, also for my paper which gets delivered thank fuck, I even try to clean that gently with a flame from a lighter, over the top? Doing my best to minimise it from doing me in.

Like I said previously, masks are worn by nurses and surgeons to protect the patient not the other way round.

It doesn't say anywhere that it recommends wearing a mask it states that public health England are ignoring the WHO recommendations- it does state - 

 

"Standard surgical mask

less effective at filtering

fine particles"

 

This is from another site -

 

 

 

Make sure any mask is FFP-3 grade and wear goggles or you ain't doing shit. 

It's a good job I didn't mention buying goggles in my opening post. That would have been terrible.

How are you going to pick up anything in the shop if you are wearing 80 pairs of gloves?
