Your Mask Is Probably Useless

Interesting how CDC advice has changed from H1N1 pandemic to corona...even though both are caused by viruses. Seems that current pandemic is only reason for yelling OBEY! at citizens by our Fuhrers.

The contagion plaguing the city is paranoia, not swine flu.

When the H1N1 pandemic broke out in 2009, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published the “Interim Recommendations for Facemask and Respirator Use to Reduce 2009 Influenza A (H1N1) Virus Transmission,” and its advice remains relevant today.

First, it is worthwhile to note that H1N1 is now considered a “a regular human flu virus and continues to circulate seasonally worldwide.” There is no ongoing pandemic. Swine flu has the potential to cause certain complications that other seasonal flu strains do not, but there are strategies to avoid it, and they are based on fact, not hysteria.

So what are these strategies?

They’re actually the same as the ones you should use to avoid other seasonal flus, since they are both transmitted from person to person, either by inhaling the virus or by touching surfaces contaminated with the virus, then touching the mouth or nose.

To avoid infection, cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, wash your hands often, stay home when you’re sick, and avoid contact with people who have flu-like symptoms. Also, if you know there are people infected with H1N1 in your community, try to avoid crowded places.

Doesn’t wearing a facemask or a respirator help? Actually, the CDC doesn’t recommend the use of facemasks or respirators, except in a tiny number of situations.

If you are at high risk of H1N1 infection, meaning you are pregnant, you’re undergoing immunosuppression, you already have a respiratory infection, or you’re under the age of five or over 65, here are the few situations when you are recommended to wear a respirator:

If you live in a community with known H1N1 infections, and you are in a crowded place
If you are a personal caregiver so someone with flu-like symptoms and you cannot avoid being in that position
If you are a healthcare worker and are caring for people with H1N1 or flu-like symptoms

However, if you decide to wear a mask anyway, or if you are, in fact, a healthcare worker or are caring for someone with flu-like symptoms, make sure you get an FDA-approved N95 respirator, which prevents small particles from entering the body. Surgical, dental, or other loose-fitting facemasks only prevent the entry of large droplets

The Masks are purely to Bitch Americans into doing Commie compliance.

The Commie Chinese have been wearing the masks for well over 20 years, every seasonal plandemic that comes around.
It has never done dick all to stop anyone from getting sick, or helped their numbers. The Chinese were and have been wearing masks since the the first hint there might be an outbreak. We all know how well that panned out.

If you submit to the Masks you are a CPP stooge, and part of the bigger problem in America.

I briefly wore them when there was the Hoax that a huge wave of cases were about to happen. Still don't know anyone personally that got the CCP Flu, only keep getting the same Jack Wagons, spouting off shit about the neighbor of a client of theirs. Or the brother of so and so that lives in New York.

BTW, nobody has died of other causes since mid March.

So let's all put on our Commie Masks, and look like pathetic little Antifa Commie Shits, that they want our punk asses to be.


You damn gullible fools!

Can I get a T-Shirt with all of that on it?

Like I said, the mask think is pure totem to ritualize the delusion of control. it has been demonstrated time and again to be useless.

People fuss with them, pull them off their noses because they are uncomfortable, and often leave them lying around covered with secretions as nidus.

Thanks, didn't know that one.

Nidus definition is - a nest or breeding place; especially : a place or substance in an animal or plant where bacteria or other organisms lodge and multiply.

Bullshit.
My dentist has worn a mask for decades to avoid things like HIV and hepatitis, which are also viruses.

I place my mask upside down when I remove it.


A virus can’t travel far unless you pick it up from a surface with your hand, or if is in a droplet of blood, saliva, snot etc.

By itself the virus is not capable of flying around very much.

Avoiding being sneezed on or coughed on and wearing a mask will be very effective.

It's all "security theater".
