COVID-19: When should you wear a face mask?

For those who don't want to take the time to read the linked or uploaded information, masks increase the risk to the individual. Loose fitting masks (including surgical masks and home made cloth masks) do deflect and absorb larger droplets, from sneezing and coughing. If you are not sneezing or coughing the masks aren't doing anything, especially once they become saturated. Your breath is picking up the moisture as it goes through the mask, and breath that goes out the sides of the masks is the same as not wearing a mask. That means the number of infectious agents floating in the air in an at any given time is the same whether everyone wears a mask or not.

To top it off, you have a damp rag strapped to your face, that rag is picking up infectious agents and giving them a nice environment in which to hang out and continue staying active. Once the filtering capability of your mask is overcome, you are getting breaths of highly concentrated infectious agents. Or you go to adjust your mask, and inadvertently rub your eye, and now you're infected.

Mask effectiveness is about ten minutes on average, which is why they are helpful in a controlled, clinical environment where they can be changed out frequently. That is also why, for the average person, wearing a face mask is like strapping a cesspool to your face. Sure, wear a mask if you are sneezing and coughing, or just cover your cough/sneeze and wash your hands frequently. Same as always.
It's really hard to wash your hands frequently when almost every place is closed

This article is from March 5 the same time the government was lying to us about mask effectiveness because they got caught with their pants down and there wasn’t enough for hospitals.

But you understand that the advice on face masks has been consistent for years up until a little over a month ago. There is nothing different about the current situation that overturns the science behind face masks. It is due solely to social pressure that the recommendations have changed. Enough people believe they help, they demand that officials take action, and they do, despite the evidence to the contrary.

Don’t worry he’s friendly
I wear a cloth mask like the sun blockers stretchable cloths for your face. Not as hard to breathe when it’s hot outside. And I’ll wear it when I go inside places.

You touch a door knob, or whatever, now you have all the germs that everyone had who has touched that knob since cleaning, then those go to your face, the entry point into your body.

He still won't understand but what can you do. If it makes him feel better let him enjoy feeling safer.

And another THANK YOU to you as well for having some smarts.
