Look, I understand this is a meme, but it is misleading. And I thought misleading Covid-19 information was a no no around here.
The mask at the bottom is a procedure or surgical mask. It doesn’t prevent the wearer from getting sick. It prevents the wearer from from coughing, sneezing, or breathing their nasty ass germs on everyone around them.
The current Trump administration guideline coming from the CDC headed by Trump appointee Dr. Robert Redfield is for the general public to wear some sort of face covering while out in public to reduce the spread of Covid-19 by asymptomatic patients. It’s basically the CDC telling you to cover your mouth and nose just like your mom did when you were a kid and had a cold.
No, Fauci did not say masks do not prevent the spread of the virus. I don’t think you meant to intentionally lie. I just think the Trump administration has done a piss poor job of explaining the recommendations so people understand them.
So in an interview on March 8th when there was a total of 541 cases of Covid-19 in the US, Fauci said “right now” people don’t need to wear mask and mask don’t provide “perfect” protection. He also said when you think masks think healthcare providers. We wear fit tested N95 masks to prevent us from being infected with Covid-19, not procedure/surgical masks. Because procedure/surgical masks reduce the chance of me getting my germs on the patient, but don’t prevent the patient from getting me sick.
In short, masks are like tools. They have different purposes so you pick the right tool for the right job.
Less than a month after Fauci’s interview on April 3rd when the number of Covid-19 cases increased from 541 to 283K, Trump announced the CDC’s recommendation. A recommendation that will help reduce the asymptomatic spread of Covid-19 and will ultimately help us get back to normal quicker. Which is what we all want, right? If conservatives keep putting this false information in each other’s heads it’s actually counterproductive to our goals of opening up the economy and getting back to normal. Although a secondary concern to the economy for conservatives, following the recommendations could actually save lives. Although I’ve been told by a conservative on this message board that 30-60K people die each year from the flu and no one cares so maybe conservatives don’t care.
So enough of this shit already.
