CDC Director: Wearing Masks Will Get Coronavirus Under Control in 4-8 Weeks

Stop talking about doing anything about the spread until you are ready to address Black Lives Matter being responsible for the current spike and also running around spreading the virus unchecked while lawful business people are shuttered and out churches are closed.

Masks are a small issue compared to Black Lives Matter.

"I think if we can get everyone to wear masks right now, we can bring this under control within four, six, eight weeks," Redfield said.

The CDC director also said wearing a mask was a public health issue and that he was "sad" to see it become so politicized.

They have no idea but they will be able to blame the non-masker wearers and bring in more regulations.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield said on Tuesday that if all Americans wore a mask, the rising cases of COVID-19 could be under control within four to eight weeks.

Redfield was speaking in an online interview with the Journal of the American Medical Association, or JAMA, a medical publication.

if this doesn't flatten the curve will we be expected to wear hazmat suits for a couple of years to get corona under control

If masks were that easy. It would be used.

I am not saying it can't be contained. It can't be stopped. We can contain it, but never stop it.

You guys know this is the end game moment? Massive powers are at work here to ensure the outcome is pandemic, pandemic, and more pandemic. You cannot stop this.

If this virus was so deadly, everyone would know somebody who died of it but they don't and you wouldn't have to force people to wear a mask in a real pandemic either.

Association of American Physicians and Surgeons CONFIRM that wearing a mask to protect yourself from coronavirus is USELESS!

The only thing masks are useful for is to raise fear levels.

WHY aren’t politicians following medical advice?

Conclusions from Organizations

The World Health Organization (WHO):

“Advice to decision makers on the use of masks for healthy people in community settings

As described above, the wide use of masks by healthy people in the community setting is not supported by current evidence and carries uncertainties and critical risks.”

“Medical masks should be reserved for health care workers. The use of medical masks in the community may create a false sense of security, with neglect of other essential measures, such as hand hygiene practices and physical distancing, and may lead to touching the face under the masks and under the eyes, result in unnecessary costs, and take masks away from those in health care who need them most, especially when masks are in short supply.”

“Masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.”

WHO acknowledges that most people do not use masks properly.

Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the Center for the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases:

“We don’t routinely recommend the use of face masks by the public to prevent respiratory illness,” said on January 31. “And we certainly are not recommending that at this time for this new virus.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

In March 5, 2019 regarding the flu: “Masks are not usually recommended in non-healthcare settings; however, this guidance provides other strategies for limiting the spread of influenza viruses in the community:

cover their nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing,
use tissues to contain respiratory secretions and, after use, to dispose of them in the nearest waste receptacle, and
perform hand hygiene (e.g., handwashing with non-antimicrobial soap and water, and alcohol-based hand rub if soap and water are not available) after having contact with respiratory secretions and contaminated objects/materials.
From the New England Journal of Medicine

“We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.”

Final Thoughts

Surgical masks – loose fitting. They are designed to protect the patient from the doctors’ respiratory droplets. The wearer is not protected from others airborne particles
People do not wear masks properly. Most people have the mask under the nose. The wearer does not have glasses on and the eyes are a portal of entry.

The designer masks and scarves offer minimal protection – they give a false sense of security to both the wearer and those around the wearer.

**Not to mention they add a perverse lightheartedness to the situation.

If you are walking alone, no mask – avoid folks – that is common sense.

Remember – children under 2 should not wear masks – accidental suffocation and difficulty breathing in some
If wearing a mask makes people go out and get Vitamin D – go for it. In the 1918 flu pandemic people who went outside did better. Early reports are showing people with COVID-19 with low Vitamin D do worse than those with normal levels. Perhaps that is why shut-ins do so poorly.

just wait until the fall.
