The CDC's "updated guidelines" on masks

Holy fricking balls. LINK
So it took the CDC 8 months to figure out that a piece of cloth that blocks aerosols 10 microns or larger in one direction, will block aerosols 10 microns or larger in the other direction as well?
Like, really? Was there widespread repurposing of swifter wet jet pads as masks that I hadn't heard about? How in the holy frick could anyone have thought that a uniform piece of fabric would filter aerosols with directional asymmetry?
I am officially no longer bullish on the continued viability of our species.

Idk why, but this OP cracked me up
I agree with the whole sentiment, your wording was also top notch.

So people that are worried about it can wear their mask with confidence that it will protect them, and those that don't feel need to wear can go about their lives as they please as well?

At this point, I'd rather give them a click than Fox News.

Was common sense but the mask messaging from day 1 has been screwed up.
First Fauci says no need.
Then they only work in one direction.
Now they actually work both ways.
CDC blew it. Hard to point fingers at Trump with so much mixed messaging.

I am going to go with masks do not work.
This is Texas. Most everyone wearing started wearing a mask in the summer - SPIKE.
Most everyone wearing a mask now - SPIKE
When can we drop the myth a mask does a damn thing.
You cannot hide from this damn virus!!!

If the masks work why with most people wearing masks are we seeing the numbers surging?

If it involves the media or Democrats, the finger will always be pointed at Trump.

Because armchair scientists oversimplify a formula with a multitude of variables.

Masks don’t work. I regularly go in academy and HEB without one.

The mask are nothing more than theatre meant to make people "feel good". They aren't going to prevent, stop, or even slow the spread of a virus. If you have been ANYWHERE in public since, at least, July, 90% of the people are wearing masks to some degree. Yet, the scary virus is now surging at cataclysmic rates....again.
If you are terrified then stay the frick home by yourself.

Do you mean "boobs" as in the CDC is dumb, or "boobs" as in actual boobs? ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Icongeauxtigers.png)

The article you’re commenting on directly refutes your asinine claim.

If people would just follow the recommendations, this would be closer to being over. I know the reccomendations change, but our knowledge of this specific virus and the situation changes.
The more we know about how masks work, the better we can convince people to wear them. Just look at this site to see how ignorant people are. Most on here think this is a joke.

Probably a troll, but have a like either way.

Continue wearing your mask, by all means, but shut up while you do.
