Don't go Chicken Little because of it, but also respect that it is still a disease that has the mortality rate of the flu.
Perhaps everyone should wear a mask in public during the regular flu season, to protect others from the flu and common cold. That's the habit in the east. Consideration of others.
I just found out today that you have to wear a face mask to go into any store that is still open. I live in California. At the grocery store today they would not let me in because I did not have a mask. I was about to cry when the woman behind me said she was a nurse and she had plenty of masks in her purse, each contained in protective plastic. Then she said, "God bless you." Miracles happen everyday even at the grocery store in the middle of an epidemic.
Even if you're not sick?
If everybody wears them, sick people won't be embarrassed to wear a mask. In some countries, almost everyone wears a mask during flu season as a courtesy to others.
Plus sometimes people can be sick, and not know it. They spread disease.
Yeah I guess you're right since I'm sort of embarrassed to wear one myself. However, it would also protect you from sick people that you might not even know are sick.
I would like to see the real numbers. Meaning, show the breakdown of people who actually died from the virus directly, as opposed to those who died of other causes but happened to test positive for the virus. There have been numerous reports coming out that lump the latter group into the overall total yet were not actual victims of the virus.The present U.S. mortality rate of about 4-5% is much, much greater that of most flu strains. I think that when it's all tabulated, the rate will be about 1-2, or roughly ten times that of the usual flu mortality.
Its not helping when they refuse to treat preventable diseases other then covid.currently the navy ship,in,NYC has 20 patients .We might not know the exact number for years. Everybody uses a different standard. It will take time for bean counters to sort it all out.
A ball park range is all we have for now. Need a lot more tests. If you are not testing, you are guessing.
Nor has the cdcbeen been honest
No they haven't. They originally lied when they said masks wouldn't help the public. I haven't trusted them since.
This really comes down to common sense. Short of wearing a gas mask everywhere (and even that may not be 100% effective) wearing any kind of nose and mouth covering will be better than nothing. If you are concerned about exposure then any barrier is better than no barrier.I forgot to mention earlier that's another reason why I don't wear a mask. I was told that it wasn't really going to do me much good.

It would be better if Americans could wear real masks, like they do in other countries, instead of just an old T shirt on their face. They really should manufacture some masks in this country already.
An old T shirt may be better than nothing, but a nice P100 is better than an old T shirt.
