Black People : Are We Catching On Yet?

Watch Mask Video

Guidelines posted this week by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that people avoid close contact and crowded conditions rather than relying on face masks for protection from infection during a flu pandemic. But they also suggest that face masks might reduce risk if it’s impossible to avoid crowds or people who are already infected.

"Very little is known about the benefits of wearing face masks or respirators to help control the spread of pandemic flu," the CDC notes.

The trouble, said Schaffner, is that whether or not face masks protect against viruses such as the swine flu depends greatly on what kind of masks people use and how well they wear them.

There are basically two kinds of face masks: loose-fitting surgical or medical masks made of soft, thin cloth that sell for pennies apiece, and form-fitting masks, also known as N-95 respirators, made of spun plastic fibers that filter small particles. They sell for a few dollars each.

The surgical masks are generally used to protect other people from the cough spray of the wearer, Schaffner said. The respirators are designed to filter 95 percent of tiny particles, including influenza viruses.

“If people were careful about their use and used them consistently, could masks provide some level of protection? I would say ‘Yes,’” Schaffner said.

‘You could get a false sense of security’
But if any of those conditions aren’t met, people are better off tossing both kinds of masks and avoiding the illusion they’re protected at all, he added....

Masks must be worn properly, consistently
But in both cases, masks needed to be used along with other preventive measures such as frequent handwashing and staying away from sick people.

The level of protection depended on whether the masks were worn properly — over both the mouth and nose, for instance — and whether they were worn consistently. One problem with the N-95 masks is that although they filter microscopic particles, they also impede breathing, making them uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time, Schaffner said.

BUT YOU'RE TOO PROGRAMMED AND SHALLOW TO SEE IT

YOU CAME TO THIS THREAD WITH NOTHING

AND YOU'RE LAUGHING

hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha

and i thought there were only THREE stooges

hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaa
 
LOL!


You keep throwing up that mirror but you're the only one in it! :lol:

However, the article you posted is about FASHION masks which provide absolutely NO protection. They are truly just a cash-in on a panic.

The partial article and video I posted was rendering more information on the correct masks to wear IF one is going to purchase them. And it gives information from the CDC about the these masks and their effectiveness, if any.

So, whether you agree with people wearing masks or not is IRRELEVANT.

I simply posted more information and anyone reading it can decide if either of these mentioned masks would help them or make them feel safer if they live in a city where the outbreak is prevalent.

So, take your mirror and go clean it cuz you got streaks and spots and fog all up in your glass. ---You can't SEE for LOOKIN'! :lol:
