“Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids (36). There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.”

I’m in a position where I wear a mask for 30-45 minutes a week while grocery shopping. Not a big deal for me. I would go nuts if I had to work 8 hours a day in one.

Cool story, bro. Nothing you said refutes the fact that the CDC itself says they don’t work. I can point you to other studies that say the same thing.

It’s very clear you don’t understand basic English.

“Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.”

The CDC is run by China now?
