This is anecdotal, obviously, but I have a position that allows me to work in and around facilities that are most susceptible to this virus spreading. Nursing home and nursing home-like settings. Early on, when the CDC said masks werent effective our organizations masked only the staff. The virus got into one of our facilities and it spread very quickly. We began putting masks on the residents and the spread slowed very significantly. At some locations where it hadn't got in prior to when masks were used for all, it has been nearly a non-event. There is a study being written for publication in a peer reviewed journal. I am not an author so I don’t know the details of publication.

I am not advocating mandatory masking. What I am saying is that if you want the economy to open, if you want the jobs to return, voluntarily masking will help. It will put some of the politicians at more ease. It can lead to a quicker economic recovery and a more likely Trump November victory.

NCTiger is a conservative physician who shoots straight on this topic and is very much in the know. If he says it about this virus, I believe him.

I want what's best for everyone who has suffered as a result of the virus and shutdown. I want this to be over as quickly as possible. I'm not commenting on the fatality rate or the prevalence of infection. We'll figure that out a couple years from now. I'm simply saying that I'm convinced the masks reduce the spread.

Thanks for the info. Now I can make my own decision

Exactly. Take what I say for whatever you value it. If you think it's garbage, fine. I'm just a poster on the internet who has experienced what I've experienced.

I'm not up for fighting my own side of the aisle.

Is mask-wearing the only mitigation measure taken at these facilities?

I don’t know where you are, but much has been made about how/where Covid positive (present and past) nursing home patients have been handled.

And so I understand - every person, patient and staff, is masked every minute they’re in these facilities?

Oh really? Quite a few countries in Asia beg to differ

Respectfully, I am skeptical about what a lot of my own countrymen say about this and particularly so about foreign governments. I think it is safe to say there has been a large large amount of dishonesty being wielded by people with bad motives. I have been a guest of a local hospital and a frequent visitor to another. I have asked staff a lot of questions particularly about this supposed pandemic. Call it anecdotal or whatever you wish with the staff but neither one of these facilities knew what the hell the media was talking about. I am convinced this is nothing but a political weapon and a lot of you even well-intentioned have turned into hand wringers for no good reason. Believe what you wish I’ll go with what I see

The masks work. I've seen it first-hand

You saw the wuhan flu caught in a mask? What did it look like? Was it screaming for help?

No you can't, it either has to burn out or vaccine.

Yep it has burned out in many places in Asia

So we should test less?

Would someone please argue with me???

Governors are mandating that

---

Not Kemp.

quote:

---

Gov. Brian Kemp's office said Thursday that mask requirements adopted by Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and leaders of other Georgia cities are “unenforceable” but stopped short of threatening legal action to block them.

“Like all of the local mask mandates, Mayor Bottoms' order is unenforceable,” said Kemp spokeswoman Candice Broce. “We continue to encourage Georgians to do the right thing and wear a mask voluntarily.”
