Thank you for clarifying that. Apparently MD Anderson does not agree with that.

Honestly, I was pretty shocked at their blanket statement given all we know about the various masks being used around this country. It doesn't match up with any other guidance I've seen published.

I'm wondering if it's because they assume that many people aren't wearing their masks correctly (no nose/chin).

Per the CDC, what is the ruling of close contact with someone with the virus, but the ill person was wearing a mask?

(and a link would be helpful)

Then their guidance makes even less sense. It would seem that they are assuming the opposite - that everyone is wearing top quality masks and wearing them correctly.

Oops. Misunderstood your comment. Thought you were talking about Gedaliah Society statement.

Yes, they most likely are issuing stricter guidance because they know how many low quality masks are being utilized and how many people aren't using masks correctly.

That is what we are trying to avoid. You are making it difficult.

I am asking for a freind with antibodies and has difficulty breathing with a mask. (please do not let this turn into a discussion about ethics and morals) Has anyone found a mask that will pass the מראית עין test on a plane but is fully breathable? Something 1 ply maybe with micro holes or other features that though it looks like a mask does not restrict breathing. He would prefer having something that looks like a mask over bring a letter from a doctor.

How? The head of the CDC says masks are more effective and polls say (fill in the blank)% of the population won't take the vaccine even if approved. Isn't the end game to have masks be the norm for the foreseeable future?

I got one from five below that is really thin. You can also get a multi pack from costco.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I think that in a lot of places like Schools, Hospitals, Assisted living, nursing homes it will be mandated forcing huge segments of the population to take them.

I have 2 relatives who are each in their low 70’s. One is constantly watching the news and is petrified of covid. She hardly leaves her home to socialize and is a nervous wreck. The other isolated a couple of months until they felt they had a bit of clarity. They looked at things with an open mind and decided that they would choose to live life. They compare is to going into a car etc and facing assumed risk like so many of life’s activities. They felt that going maskless was an acceptable risk as well. They did their research and take zinc and several other supplements prophylacticly, and wear masks only when stores mandate it. They say they are comfortable with their decision and accept the risk, which they do feel has been over hyped in general. They have lots of family ties in Israel and see the toll the lockdowns have taken and that has them convinced that they are making the right move.
