Serious question - I've noticed, in my area, that it seems like the people who have embraced the use of masks are the ones getting sick. I've long thought that wearing the masks will increase, instead of decrease, your risk of catching the Wuflu and it that now seems to be bearing true. Are y'all seeing the same thing in your area? It seems all those masks studies done over the years might be on to something - masks don't work!

People use the same mask, over and over. They put it on, use it, take it off, let it accumulate, dust, dirt, dust mites, bacteria, etc.. and then put it back on and breathe it in.

And then repeat.

Think about it! It is about the WORST thing you can do.

Do any of these gargle with warm sea salt water ? Do they ever take garlic ? Do they even take a decent vitamin ?

I wouldn’t know because in 8 months no one I know or anyone they know has had the virus.

Masks of the type people typically wear do nothing long term and makes you more susceptible to lung issues due to it trapping moisture close to the face. Bacteria, dust and viruses like moisture. In fact OSHA has serious guidelines about using respirators (like for painting cars, removing lead etc.) for long periods because of bacteria buildup in the mask....and they also require doctor visits.....I forget the details but I think it requires a doctor visit after every 8 hours of continuous use ( I could be wrong about this). At any rate if you have ever worn any kind of mask for construction work or whatever you know that after a few minutes it gets clogged up with dust. In my lifetime TV has given rotten medical advice.....don't listen to TV....and only believe half of what your doctor says....which half is up to you.....

In general we are not seeing people get sick in my area. Since the China flu started I have known only 2 people get sick from it and they both recovered. Both wore masks.

Bingo...thats the plan...they know people will resue the same one over and over or wear it incorrectly
