CDC Considers Asking the Public To Wear Face Masks

By Mac Slavo

This is irony at its finest.  The United States attorney general used Twitter to tell the public to NOT use face masks to protect against the coronavirus because they don’t work, they only work for health care workers. Now, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is considering a recommendation that people wear masks when in public.

We all remember this:

Surgeon General DEMANDS: “Stop Buying Face Masks!”

Jerome Adams tweet said it all:

We were told that face masks weren’t effective at preventing a coronavirus infection unless we are a healthcare worker, but now the CDC is saying otherwise. There’s still no consensus (meaning someone from the government hasn’t made a decision yet) on whether widespread use of facial coverings would make a significant difference, and some infectious disease experts worry that masks could lull people into a false sense of security and make them less disciplined about social distancing, according to a report by The Washington Post. 

But studies done by doctors in the medical field have shown properly fitting N95 face masks to be about 80% effective.

Will A Face Mask REALLY Protect You From The Coronavirus?

They are certainly better than nothing and could be used to get people back in public and the economy on a roll again. It’s an “ongoing discussion,” however, and nothing has been finalized. The official, who asked to remain anonymous, said the new guidance would make clear that the general public should not use medical masks — including surgical and N95 masks — that are in desperately short supply and needed by health-care workers. So once again, the guidelines would be to “cover your face” not use a respirator that could actually stand a chance at protecting you.

At the daily White House briefing Monday, President Trump was asked if everyone should wear nonmedical fabric masks. “That’s certainly something we could discuss,” Trump said, adding, “it could be something like that for a limited period of time.”

It seems like the government can’t make up their mind on just about anything.  But the one thing they have been doing is expanding their power and getting the docile population in a constant state of fear.
