We have been told how surgical masks do not prevent you catching the virus, but it ore takes you from passing on the virus. Now isn't this the same as saying a condom won't protect you from getting aids/hiv but it will stop you from passing on aids/hiv

Are they being truthful with us?

They are not. Anyone with a modicum of sense should recognize that telling people not to use masks to protect themselves is simply trying to prevent or lessen the run on mask purchases by the general public, in an effort to preserve quantities for health care and other official uses.

Edit to add. Yes it's true that most masks won't completely filter out 100% percent of airborne pathogens. But the notion that they won't filter out any viruses, or reduce the risk of infection in any way, is simply asinine.

Surgical masks will help keep you from spraying it everywhere.

Nothing to keep it out.

You would also need a way to decontaminate / remove your mask without infecting yourself in the process. Problem is if you're close enough to get it on your mask (whether surgical or N95/100), you're close enough to get it through your eyes.

Really need gloves, N95 or higher, and eye protection.

I think the only thing not discussed are how this may be planted here by an alien race to clear us out before settling this planet for themselves.
Well, another thing I haven't seen discussed is if this is the first of the plagues mentioned in Revelations. Maybe it has on the R&P board?
The Bible says the following will occur before the Abomination of Desolation:
  • World embracing deceptive Christianity - starting to see this now, Churches welcoming homosexual marriage
  • Wars on a scale not experienced in history
  • Famine on a global scale - could happen if Sanders is elected
  • Disease and epidemics will plague the world - Corona virus
  • Jewish priests will begin animal sacrifices again

All these events will result in roughly 2 billion deaths world wide.

    Picked up something on the news today too.

    FDA are the ones now talking about testing capacity, etc. They are also the ones who called out the CDC for the contaminated kits and poor handling in their lab and basically pulled the plug on the CDC lab producing the kits.

    This is on top of Messonnier (Rosenstein's sister) being pulled from being the point on the country's response to this.

    Clearly, someone up there identified the problem and is addressing it. Just hope it isn't too late.

    Narrator: It was.

    Have quite a bit of domestic travel coming up this month. I'm probably going to cancel all of it...not out of fear but out of hassle factor. I simply don't want to deal with all of the unintended consequences this will lead to and I imagine most of the folks involved in same trips are going to do the same.

    I'm good with a religious discussion but maybe this conversation is best had in a separate thread. You know how it gets when the R&P folks show up on a non-R&P thread.

    If it struggles to survive in a warm, humid environment, we should all just group up and have a 2 month long crawfish boil.... with beer. The recipe for survival... warm, humid and alcohol.

    EDIT: Make the beer Corona's just as a **** you to the virus.

    Virus is too small for a surgical mask to filter out, that much is true. Surgical masks are for keeping your sputum in.
    For comparison, if the virus was the size of a softball, the holes in the N95 mask would be large enough to let a basketball pass through.
