I think people are missing the point of those masks. They're not to protect you from infection, they're to protect others if you have the virus and are asymptomatic. Choosing not to wear a mask is not putting yourself at risk, it's putting *others* at risk.

Some european countries mine included have made (apart from social distancing, hand washing etc.) also mandatory for everyone in public to wear masks - the public wears cloth masks, usually DIY, under the motto "Your masks protect me, mine protects you." We take precautions to not touch the masks and immediately wash and iron them after using. Thus we are not taking masks away from health professionals but also protect everyone even more. For now we remain ranked as one of the safest countries so I hope this becomes standard in more and more places.

As a biomedical researcher, it’s a unique situation to see how fast research can progress once enough funding is provided. In march alone, several clinical trials have enrolled patients to test two drugs which had originally been developed against the Ebola virus or HIV, the first US vaccine trial has started and an antibody against a COVID-19 protein has been purified (I just made a video about new COVID-19 breakthroughs). Although the COVID-19 pandemic is devastating, I think sufficient treatments will be on the market comparatively soon!

Without that, any mask/respirator is not going to protect properly against covid-19 & in my experience, it's impossible to get even close to that level of seal with a disposable n95 mask/respirator. Amazes me that those reusable respirators aren't being issued to medical staff! Would resolve a lot of the problems with shortage of supplies too, since the mask can be washed in bleach/disinfectant & the cartridges clipped off & the n95 particle filters clipped off them & put into a pressure cooker/autoclave to fully disinfect between uses. They're supposed to be disposable, but due to no elastic, metal etc, there's nothing stopping their full disinfection & reuse in a pandemic, supply shortages situation. I believe there's versions that have just the n95 or n100 particle filter without any carbon filter too, which would probably be even better, since the carbon cartridge obviously can't be disinfected inside (but it doesn't really matter, since it's inside the particle filter & the respirator has the one way valves stopping any return air entering them from the other direction, you'd want the cartridges to only be used by one person though for infection control, but not really an issue, they're only really there to hold everything else together in this setting) All that said, I still think it's possible to do MUCH better with mask protection than is seen in this video! That mask can be fitted to the face MUCH better than it is, so as to reduce those huge gaps around the nose & cheeks & actually get at least some of the inhaled air to be going through the mask rather than through the gaps around the nose & cheeks. There's no way any significant amount of the air being breathed in is being filtered with that mask worn as it is & even exhaled air & droplets would be largely exiting that mask when worn like that! That mask wearing is a good example of why my country's government is currently not advising the public to wear masks, they're saying they are considering changing that ruling, but that if they do, it will only be done with extensive education programs around correct mask wearing so as to avoid false sense of security masks & people constantly touching the masks because of movement & discomfort & itching

studies actually show that touching the face is more common when wearing the mask than not, due to adjusting the mask & in many cases taking it on & off for fresh air, talking etc. Each time the mask is moved, it can move virus particles & dead skin cells to protect them to the nice warm, humid inside of the mask. Additionally, even if no virus particles got inside the mask, by extra face touching to constantly adjust it, it means extra virus particles on the face, close to the mouth & nose. When that person gets home & takes off the mask & washes their hands & goes to watch tv & relax, they then start moving those virus particles around more & onto their hands & then when they start picking their nose & licking their fingers after eating, the virus is transferred into their body for infection. The masks stopping touching of the face claim has been debunked as an urban myth I'm afraid. And I'm a former paramedic & paramedic trainer too, with over 30 years in those jobs, so does that mean all of a sudden what I say is now more credible than anyone else? It shouldn't, because while I'm telling the truth, no-one reading has anyway of verifying that, or has any idea the experience & education of anyone else replying

This isn't SciShow's best video 😞 The short answer is: healthcare providers need them because n95 masks do help them, but (statistically) an n95 mask won't help you. The long answer is that n95 masks are only one part of a very large toolkit of equipment and techniques that protect healthcare providers, and masks of any grade don't protect from the primary infection vector (hard surfaces). Don't get that last bit twisted, it's still easy to catch from being too close to someone, it's just much, much easier to get it from a doorknob, counter, or other hard surface. Basically, a properly fitted n95 mask filters out 97% of airborne particle matter the size of this virus - which is just useless trivia if you only wash your hands for 5 seconds. The masks are absolutely helpful if you're going to be in a crowded area (like public transportation), for an extended period of time (IIRC the current threshold is 10-15 minutes), and in those circumstances a handmade mask (70% effective) is good enough. The good stuff needs to be saved for the folks who are subject to exposure for their entire workday, not just their commute. The folks at masks4all.co/ do a good job of pulling together the various studies in a way that helps clarify much of the confusing messaging going around at the moment.

I now have a video I can link to when I tell people the importance of wearing a cotton mask when they go out without being laughed at and getting called an idiot because the super important who says it doesn't help.

The problem with saying "Buy however many bottles you need and leave the rest" is that no one knows how much they need. If you suspect the shop will be locked down or be sold out the next time you might normally need sanitizer, you will buy more. People have no idea how long this situation will last or if it will get worse and harder to buy stuff, so they have no idea how much stuff they should buy.

Some of the masks I've seen have made me laugh, one example of which was so thin I could see the guy's mouth, seemed to be a "what's the point?" kind of thing, but overall, distancing, sanitation, staying home & only going out when needed, etc., that's what the majority need to do, which some of them aren't...

Distancing Sanitation Staying Home Only going out when needed Any one of those used by itself will not keep you from getting the virus. All of them combined could reach an acceptable level of protection, so why not add a mask on everyone to get that mark a little higher.

I have psoriasis which I've got from th top of my head to the soles of my feet, and due to my stress levels right now, means I'm basically a walking open sore. As my mam has made me do all my life when my skin gets bad and I wanna go out, I now have to cover myself with a special barrier wax I get off GP, and then wear a physical barrier over the top, so long under sleeves, leggings, gloves, and masks (which I make). And th best bit? I get called an idiot, and a lot worse If I actually do, but I have to do this EVERY TIME my skin gets bad as I'm at such high risk for fekkin germs etc. Sometimes barriers are used for reasons not related to idiocy

The key with hand sanitizer is exposing the particles for long enough. In the lab, we never substitute sanitizer for hand washing. It can be a stop gap between glove changes when not working with patients that aren’t contagious, but we always scrub between testing in microbiology or when doing DNA testing.

risky topic folks. I just watched a Korean virologist say masks are effective at reducing infection if you're not infected as well as reducing the spread if you are. He said it makes sense for everyone to wear them for both reasons. Who should I believe do you think?

It's pretty simple. Masks do help, but you don't need medical grade masks that healthcare workers need. If there isn't a short supply where you live you can buy them, if not leave them for the medical workers/essential workers and make yourself DIY ones. Double up with a scarf if you need to. There's many online tutorials on how to do that and how to handle/disinfect your masks. But remember to not fall into a false sense of security that wearing masks will protect you. Practice rigorous social distancing and wear masks when you absolutely have to go out around other people. And of course, follow the other hygiene guidelines like washing your hands.

@baby bean that paper concentrates on masks not protecting the wearer, and nobody really claims that they do. Also, it specifically deals with particles aerosolized by dental procedures using ultrasonic scalers, which is somewhat different than what happens when you breate normally, cough or sneeze I think.Last but not least, like a Sith, the article deals in absolutes - wearing masks by the general public is not about eliminating contamination completely, it is about reducing the range and amount of particles being spread.

You should be encouraging everyone to wear homemade masks. They do help in conjunction with the other good advice. 😷 #Masks4All

Total doubletalk on the masks here. OF COURSE, they reduce risk. That is why hospitals are complaining about shortages. Most people outside of hospitals are just at such a low risk that it doesn't matter, but I's wear one in public all the time if I was old or had preexisting conditions.

Time is a very important factor. Bought a peroxide based surface cleaner. According to manufacturer, you need to leave it 5 minutes to work. (I cant stay at home, i work at a pharmacy, this was at first given to us for surfaces... i read the label and the next day ordered 1L of alcohol based surface cleaner, theres no way you can take 5 minute cleaning breaks and leavin counters wet) Hypochlorate based one needed 1 minute on surfaces. Hand sanitizer that has benzalconium chloride advised 1min hand rubbing. Check labels, if theres no data there, check biocide registry or fda, or whatever is available. You are not safe from a quick spray-n-go...

I'm not so sure about the mask thing. You breath in from the front, the vacuum is being pulled in from the direct the mask is, not just from the sides. And while the virus is smaller than the weave of a normal surgical mask, most airborne particles aren't. Is it 100% effective? No. Is it even 50% effective? No idea. But wouldn't 20% effective be better than nothing? I'd wear one if it cut infection by 5%. The only reason not to is if it was shown it actually increases infection. And if they were mandatory the spread would be slashed. The idea that aren't effective so don't bother is old thinking. No one is hoping for complete protection, we've entered the probabilities game, reduction, reduction, reduction.

It does work, but it has the most effect when you're at high risk of getting it (e.g. nurse/doctor treating COVID-19 patients). There is a shortage of these inhale-preventation masks (close-fitting N95+) so regular folk shouldn't use them up, save them for the professionals that really benefit from them. So 1. If you are healthy, DIY masks won't do much. wash your hands and keep distance. 2. If you are asymptomatic, you won't spread much virus through breath, washing hands +distancing is more important. 3. If you are tested positive, you get given exhale-preventation masks (or DIY). Still, don't go out. 4. If feeling sick but untested: stay home at all costs, be responsible, don't go out. Make DIY masks if you share living rooms.
