>>>>>>"Cloth face masks are 'comfort blankets' that do little to curb Covid spread" UK SAGE adviser warns. He warned some cloth masks have gaps which are invisible to the naked eye, but are 500,000 times the size of viral Covid particles."Masks can catch droplets and sputum from a cough but what is important is that SARS CoV-2 is predominantly distributed by tiny aerosols". Dr Axon said that medics were "unable to comprehend" the miniscule elements at play, adding: "A Covid viral particle is around 100 nanometres, material gaps in blue surgical masks are up to 1,000 times that size, cloth mask gaps can be 500,000 times the size". "The public were demanding something must be done, they got masks, it is just a comfort blanket," Dr Axon noted.

>>>It was made abundantly clear to everyone in USA that you needed to wear a N95 mask and wear it properly. ..and when I say "everyone" I mean "everyone" that doesn't get all their information on the subject from FoxNews hosts and guests or from their drunk uncle on facebook.

>>1) This dodges the original article which quotes a medical doctor who is on the UK SAGE Committee = UK Covid Response Advisory Committee to UK Gov. He clearly states that surgical masks and cloth masks are useless and that is what most everyone is using. And I know of no EU country or the UK that has mandated or even suggested the N95 as the recommended mask. Have you got a link to CDC or FDA website recommending or mandating N95?
>>
>>2) CDC does not recommend general public wear N95's - CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky is recommending the general public not to wear them: "They're very hard to breathe in when you wear them properly," Walensky said. "They're very hard to tolerate when you wear them for long periods of time." The N95 masks are really designed for first responders. Dr. Walensky, as well as Dr. Anthony Fauci, are still saying people should wear a mask, but say the general public doesn't need to wear the N95 ones because they're uncomfortable and hard to breathe in.
>>
>>So apparently not everyone got the message, including the CDC.

>"CDC recommends that N95 respirators should be prioritized for protection against COVID-19 in healthcare settings. Essential workers and workers who routinely wore respirators before the pandemic should continue wearing N95 respirators. As N95s become available they can be worn in non-healthcare settings."

>...so when covid-19 first hit , they wanted the N95 masks to go to the healthcare workers as there was a shortage -- but now there are plenty of them available. The trick of course is to buy real ones not counterfeit ones. Would of been nice if Fauci had said that from the start ..sure -- but regardless all the peeps I know are aware of this N95 mask importance- meanwhile FoxNews and others continue to spread misinformation.

I dont know why you keep harping on about FoxNews. Did I quote FoxNews? Or drunk uncles? Strange.

Walensky made these statements about not wearing N95 in Jan/Feb this year. The CDC is still not recommending N95 for general public use. Just for you I'll give you a CNN link, the bastion of truth in reporting:
