Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!

They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!

WTF? So somehow the masks are effective for medical workers but not for the general public? How does the mask know the wearer is medical pro? That isn't making sense to me...

And if the supply is so limited, then the government should send a fleet of tractor trailers to warehouses/factories of Curad/Johnson & Johnson etc warehouses and seize it.

That does seem weird, but I think I understand what is being said.

Healthcare professionals have a specific protocol to keep germs away from themselves, including a very rigorous handwashing/scrubbing routine. The mask is just a part of that.

I think they're trying to say that wearing a mask but otherwise going about your daily life normally isn't going to do much for you, and you'll hog up the masks from those who need them as part of a germ prevention regimen in hospitals.

It's kind of like telling someone to leave the limited Diet Coke supply at a restaurant for those actually dieting, and how it's not going to work for you if you're having it as part of a large, high-calorie meal.

Is it really not ok to drink Corona beer. Not because I don't believe that related to virus, but I missed were Mexican workers where pissing in the beer. Where did you hear that? Have cousin visiting in a couple of weeks his choice of beer is Corona as well as mine.

Odds that this thread will be longer than Trump Train thread.

Druff needs to quarantine himself. Your immunity is terrible. It’s funny you think it’s good. People that have good immunity rarely become ill.

Clearly they have some unresolved homoerotic anxiety issues.

My wife is getting texts that there’s a case at her hospital, she works tomorrow.

Best of luck to your wife. I really hope she comes out negative. I’m pretty sure you’re in your 30s iirc, so I assume she’s youngish and healthy. I have a feeling many of us will be tested at some point, but I really hope she dodges this bullet until a vaccine emerges and doesn’t have to be laid up or quarantined for your family's sake as I’m sure that would be disruptive.


Edit- on my phone. I read that quickly as being tested, not texts. That’s cool it hasn’t got to that point yet. Hopefully it doesn’t.

honestly the only time i think this is going to be a huge nothingburger is when i see shit like this.

the public is basically never right.

She works at a hospital, I work at an airport and we have two kids in daycare so I figure we’re fucked one way or another.

and i realize how truly, utterly fucked we are.

also lets not pretend the fact that we have performed a fraction of the number of covid19 tests as other countries is just some wacky piece of fake news.

make absolutely no mistake, the body count is almost certainly going to go through the roof in the next 30 days.

Tine can you let us in on ur vitamin regiment that lets an elderly man such as urself post 8 thousand times a day

To be fair 80% of that community wishes a quick exit.

Thank you God, thank you Lord

But seriously, buy your masks now. You don't need them, but if we get a pandemic you're gonna want them and won't be able to.

There are only a few companies that make these masks. Guess where the majority of them are manufactured? Wuhan.

Most major health systems and the government are working with the big manufacturers and distributors to make sure that the people that need them have them.

You cannot buy N95 masks really anywhere at this point.

Yeah of course, mask with elastic has been sold offshore long ago and
that is that. No way could America retool to fight such a problem
