LA’s mayor urges residents to wear masks to combat CV. Somewhere the US Surgeon General is rolling his eyes.

It’s not clear it won’t help.

It’s because you’re ashamed to go out in public like that so everyone stays home.

4/1/20 9:36pm

I’m inclined to think it would help

Absolutely, it helps for sure!

Seems pretty clear to US Surgeon General

It seems clear that he wants people to stop buying masks

I think it does little to help prevent getting it. But if you have it already it

Aren’t the people who have it supposed to be quarantined? Why would they need to wear a mask if they’re confined?

SierraCoug

Because most people who have it don’t know they have it.

How can that possibly be? Then why do medical professionals wear N95's?

They absolutely lied

To deter a run on them so medical personnel won't face a shortage. True.

Why would it help protect MDs when THEY wear them, but not the public?

Exactly, they just didn’t want shortages for healthcare workers, so they lied.

MDs have to do a "fit test" and training to make sure they are using it properly

Regular surgical mask still blocks a fair amount

cougfanz

4/1/20 9:56pm

Did they discourage those too, or was it just the N95s?

buffgato

4/1/20 9:58pm

And that’s too complicated to teach on a YouTube video?

Blue Print

Well, I'm not in the business, but if it's anything like this video...

Generally, wearing a mask will help.

JmThms

They told us not to wear masks because they think we're children.

Of course it will help. Common sense. Surgeon general is a moron

cougfanz

He’s not a moron. He’s a liar.

It's funny LA now cares about disease. They didn't care when the 30k homeless

Medieval? Typhus killed millions in the 20th century.

ReyOso

Yes, it's a medieval disease that reemerges during catastrophic world wars

CDC supports mayor’s decision. Your opinion is outdated

Aren't those known by the State of California to cause cancer?

It helps. Common behavior in Japan, Taiwan, So. Korea, Singapore, HK, China.

Strange how it is common behavior in the places outbreaks seem to originate.
