[QUOTE="Nandina, post: 759283, member: 23742"] I agree with your stance on masks, DandC. Part of the problem of doubting whether they work is sometimes people wear them incorrectly, with the nose exposed; other times, like my son told us he does, they take them off to eat in a restaurant. But if you are talking and eating in a room full of people, unmasked, the potential of getting or spreading the virus is high. And then again, if you are in a room with a bunch of people in close proximity, all wearing masks, it still may not be enough, as some germ particles will be released into the air. That’s why the health experts recommend only gathering in small groups, even masked. The health advisers telling us these things know what they’re talking about. They have dealt with virus outbreaks and pandemics before—this isn’t their first go-around. Many have spent their lives working for public health in the U.S and around the world. One has only to look at the reduced number of cases and deaths per capita in countries where everyone wears a mask to know that they are effective in reducing the spread of the Covid-19 virus. (I’m not suggesting a mandate here, just more conscientiousness!) Any surgeon wears a mask during surgery to protect the patient from germs. And ditto on being appalled and saddened by some of our fellow citizens. [/QUOTE]
