You dont need a mask to protect you from Coronavirus

Community transmission of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, has officially begun in the U.S., with two cases in California and one in Oregon of unknown origin. The first COVID deathwas reported Saturday, Feb. 29, in Seattle. The natural human response to a strange, new disease making its way to a neighborhood near you is to feel anxiety and want to DO SOMETHING. That’s why many people have been buying up and stockpiling masks. But even if you could buy any in the midst of global shortages, should you?

No.
And if you already have masks, should you wear them when you’re out?
No.
Even if there are COVID cases in your community?
quote:
Even if there are cases next door, the answer is no, you do NOT need to get or wear any face masks—surgical masks, “N95 masks,” respirator masks, or anything else—to protect yourself against the coronavirus. Not only do you not need them, you shouldn’t wear them, according to infection prevention specialist Eli Perencevich, MD, a professor of medicine and epidemiology at the University of Iowa’s College of Medicine.

Can't get those sweet, sweet clicks running that lame arse shite in the news.

It certainly cant hurt. They are insinuating it would improve your chances if wearing a mask and that's just not the case.

I'm good to go. Just got a phalanx shot.

Yep...
I had a nurse at work ask me yesterday what we were doing about the Corona virus, I told her nothing, not one case was confirmed in Louisiana, then I told her to quite watching the news. That's when she got pissed at me and said don't tell me what to do...
She had a pt's tv tuned to CNN and was glued to that shite...

It was in the article. Most people dont wear them correctly and it causes you to touch your face more.

They won’t stop you from getting it, but it can help you to not spread it
