The importance of wearing #masks.

I am skeptical of this claim.

Can you provide a link?

The importance of wearing #masks. The education strategies must adapt immediately in #Europe and #USA.

“Why face mask use, proven effective, is not being promoted in general use.? Because the government failed to stockpile and had no plan for how to ramp up production, and chose to shame the public into not buying masks instead of being honest. “ #peakprosperity

“50% compliance in donning the device resulted in a significant (at least 50% prevalence and 20% cumulative incidence) reduction in risk for fitted and unfitted N95 respirators, high-filtration surgical masks, and both low-filtration and high-filtration pediatric masks. An 80% compliance rate essentially eliminated the influenza outbreak. The results of the present study, as well as the application of the model to related influenza scenarios, are potentially useful to public health officials in decisions involving resource allocation or education strategies.”

Goofbucket? Do you think this is Facebook or Twitter or Instagram? #Hashtags don't work here. And as others have (and will) requested. Cite your bloody sources.

There's a reason why there is a dangerous deficit and run on the market for these masks. Fearmongering idiots like you (who likely have an equally dangerous agenda to push). I suspect that you are or want to be a coronavirus profiteer.

It seems that yes, there is valid scientific evidence wearing a face mask in public does reduce your risk of getting a respiratory virus.

You are making a reasonable argument Lava.

The interesting question is that the CDC needs the public to stop hoarding masks. How do they craft a message that is both scientifically accurate, but will get the public to react in the proper way.

When people are scared, they don't always act rationally.

I do not believe that the CDC is controlled by the Extraterrestrial Lizard People (which is what it seems like you are suggesting).

School buses the last I look do not have seat belts either.

Seatbelts are required in some cases, but not all. Smaller school buses — weighing 10,000 pounds or less — are required to have lap-shoulder belts under federal motor vehicle safety standards.

Larger buses may also be required to have seatbelts, depending on where you live. Eight states — Arkansas, California, Florida, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York and Texas — have passed legislation requiring that seatbelts be installed on school buses, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But in some cases, it is required only if funding is provided by the state or school districts. There are two kinds of seatbelts on school buses: the older lap belts and the newer lap-shoulder belts that are generally considered safer.

You've been out of the loop. Many modern school buses (can't say all school districts) do have them.

Are Seatbelts Required on School Buses?

While Florida requires seatbelts on school buses built since 2001, it does not require students wear them, nor does it mandate what kind of seatbelts need to be provided other than lap belts.

Procter and Gamble (the Charmin Division) announced that it can provide 2 million msks a week. Yesterday PBS stated that one of the stats where there was a stockpile of stuff for such catastrophes had located upward of 35 MILLION masks.

I was wondering where all the stuff stored in Cheyenne Mountain Got to.
