  1. The CDC now says that cloth masks are little more than facial decorations 🤣🤣🤣

  2. Watch "URGENT ALERT! Oxygen – Deficient – Atmosphere!!" on YouTube
    https://youtu.be/OFuBHq1eCiE

  3. People should wear bras for masks. When one cup gets dirty, use the other.😃

  4. Many idiots wearing masks off the nose. The virus is shed from the nose. Also, fabric is not safe. The warm moisture from the breath collects in front of the nose n mouth and is a magnet for viruses. Also, organic compounds are exhaled in the breath, which is virus food. Surgical masks have a moisture barrier to prevent exhaled moisture and organic compounds from collecting on the mask exterior

  5. Im not Health expert, but my opinion wearing a mask could damage a person's immune system by preventing their body from fighting off bacteria and viruses in public every day environments. People who are positive/ think they're positive Shouldn't where masks either they should just STAY HOME in a well ventilated area that's the best thing they can do… If COVID-19 positive people wear masks they'll constantly be breathing in the same air… This will more than likely make reproduction of the virus more rapid and possibly increase the chances of having a severe or fatal outcome! Its common sense…when people get sick the body coughs to try to clear the virus from the lungs wearing a mask prevents the lungs from getting fresh air making a great environment for viral growth….im surprised how many are recomending. believing, and following these guidelines…its almost like we're being encouraged/guided to put our health at risk and increase the severity of this disease…xD lol I hope I'm not the only 1 that sees what's going on!

  6. CDC needs to make it CLEAR to all that ANYONE working with the elderly patients or patients with special needs or medically fragile patients should NOT BE USING CLOTH MASKS as they don't protect the patient. Recall that a patient who DOES NOT have covid is at risk FROM THE HEALTHCARE workers coming into their shifts working with them. It's not the other way around.

  7. Go ahead and wear masks do this virus cam looks like a real threat

  8. Right, cdc advices the use of cloth masks… cloth masks doesnt protect anything lol

  9. how come CDC, surgeon general advised people no need to wear mask, mask do not help but harm you then after three weeks later told people should wear mask while the whole World wears mask months ago, so you worry about shortage of mask for doctor and nurse but careless for citizen? is it now your people only knew wuhanvirus can spread person to person? shame and ignorance

  10. It's funny watching these idiots drive cars wearing masks by themselves.

  11. CDC initially claimed medical grade masks were ineffective , now they are suggesting we….wait for it ….make DIY cloth masks for “ minimal “ protection. This after they claimed the general public were not skilled enough to wear masks correctly. And that will improve with people wearing week old socks? Good lord

    We are witnessing the historical incompetence of large government.

  12. You can buy commercially manufactured cloth face masks that meet the CDC's guidelines here – http://www.maskexclusive.com

  13. I’ve seen ambulance drivers on break not wear a mask because they didn’t have any. They aren’t allowed cloth masks.

  14. Ok so reminder gullible puppets wear your masks as the authorities tell you to so me & others who wont can have laugh at them who do wear their fear mongers masks…lol…

  15. Lol. Are they serious? Maybe they can get the Bloods and Crips leaders to donate their extra bandanas.

  16. Finally – and if you happen to have a n95, or a surgical mask, here's how you can sterilize it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXgPRl65gPE

  17. please let folks know, whoever you can, they can order right away at http://www.nuvaskusa.com

  18. In China, everyone wear masks, while the CDC was telling people not to. Why now? If a Face mask won’t work for the average Americans, why now?

  19. If you want to make an easy mask for you and your family this Facebook group has the best free pattern!!!

  20. Westerners should cover up their faces before it is too late. Learn from the Asian countries.

  21. last year 1 dollor 20 pics but now how much?

  22. The CDC is a threat to the public. Every day it's something else. The surgeon General is a lieutenant at best. People will run amok if these idiots are not relieved of their positions.

  23. Wonder if people know that you can get sick if the viral particle touches your eyes too

  24. All people with no faith, none.

  25. ya you bet i'm going to wear a mask. No need for government to tell me. Someone intentionally cough on me as he passed by!

  26. What I don't hear is the information that mishandeling the masks 'after' use can be just as risky as not using them at all. Using masks 'correctly' and then disposing or cleaning them 'properly' is critically important.

  27. Every day almost the CDCs recommendations flip flop. Being in the hospital I have come to the realization that said recommendations have nothing to do with what is actual best practice and simply evolve to what is most practical at the time. 2 weeks ago we were told our odds of catching covid went up if we constantly wore a mask because that warm and humidified area you continue rebreathing is perfect breeding ground for the virus to multiply. Now it seems to be what they want for the world. The media pressure has all agencies tied to this spiraling. If you think a rolled up bandana is really stopping virus at 0.125 micron size and this recommendation isnt mostly for comfort… well… at least people wont bark at you for a sniffle anymore… maybe.

  28. ROFL! Everyone but Trump is SCARED of a BAD FLU that killed fewer people thaN THE FLU. PLUS we now have a CURE so what's everyone PARANOID about???????????

  29. They are saying this virus can stay in the air for 3 hours and they are still debating whether it's a good thing to wear?
    Something is very wrong here.

  30. What's the point of trying to save humanity when the government's,police,corporations are corrupt people won't stand up to them people are ignorant arrogant greedy selfish lazy feminism and racism should not exist at this point because people can't grow up we learn nothing from history people all around the world are unable to get along as time goes on it doesn't get better it gets worse and so much more we had our chance on this planet and screwed it up horribly think long and hard about this

  31. Same CDC that said last week that mask wouldn’t help the average person?

  32. Wear a Muslim face veil you say?!
    All women riot for being targeted all these years for wearing one lol

  33. The FDA-approved Drug Ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro
