The answer to the title is that they don’t work. They do make you more Likely to get sick, put you in a bad mood, and make you less likely to talk to anybody.
Don’t forget to add, not only does up to 90% of the virus escape, studies show up to 60% of your breath can escape out the edges of the mask.. so we are talking as little as 4% filtration. The surgical mask a massive portion escapes around the edges, and if you look around most people have a large gap open at the top where your breath is pushed upward to hang in the air longer. Me, I just breath out of my nose like a normal person, downward so not to hang in the air as long. You can’t do that with a mask on.

Alotta Fugina I red a bout 7 studies performed over a 10 or 12 year period.now 95 and clothe were tested they were independent studies and all 7 came up with the same results N95 made no difference but the cloth made you more susceptible to getting sick. Those studies cannot be found on line anymore.
One common sense question: If this virus is as dangerous as we're being told it is.. why are these businesses (and other facilities) that are requiring masks, NOT placing biohazard waste receptacles that meet OSHA standards at all egress points for the safe depositing of non-reusable paper face masks?
cloth masks can be washed and are an individual responsibility. I have seen many a surgical mask discarded in parking lots when a garbage can would suffice. We do not use biohazard waste for surgical masks in the hospital.
@@NurseMinder They definitely use biohazard waste containers in the hospitals I've been in if someone is wearing them in the suspected proximity of someone with an infectious disease such as TB or MRSA -- mask, gloves, gown, etc, all are turned inside out when removed so as to not touch any potentially infected surface, and stuffed into the secured receptacle that is designated for those materials only. If they do not do that in your hospital, that concerns me.
Thank you for a well made, clearly phrased broad explanation of such an important topic. Nobody can change the mind of those who reject science but this will be a big help to anyone truly looking for information.
Great question! the research will no doubt continue to evolve and we will modify our practices. Someone shared with me a link to a past time when this has happened - it was an eye opener for sure! www.history.com/.amp/news/1918-spanish-flu-mask-wearing-resistance?fbclid=IwAR1h3fVyk2pixJYvFH5mEwBh-1eUqQoRj0iU7xX-J39zZMgR3G2RtnVfUB4
Well this didn't age well. Considering CDC now state the efficacy is not valuable. And some are detrimental. The weight of guidelines vs mandate has a large impact as well. Take a look at the Ontario Canada nurses union law suite against masks....a 2018 adjudication that also verified surgical masks ineffective in viral settings. And merely a signaling device.

That is a lengthy report. Interesting read (scanned for highlights after reading several pages). Seems the root of the issue was not so much the mask use, rather the reason for asking was to boost immunization rates in 2014 to 2018. The policy was “vaccinate or mask” and we don’t have a vaccination for covid so the comparison is not linear. While I personally feel a one size fits all approach is not right (where I live we have 9 cases per 100000) and masking is required all day in the hospital and in public government places. This seems unreasonable in my mind. It is an interesting time and I thank you for this info. It certainly had me considering some new elements
People should wear surgical mask when ever they can.... They are back on the market now, it is way more effective in protecting both wearer and other people...... Our government is too slow in explaining things and it is causing US people doing a half ass job against the virus..... It is time to let people know, surgical mask is much better
N95's don't prevent spread. They provide a short period of protection for the wearer, not anyone who breathes what she's exhaling or whatever's on her mask for using too long. th-cam.com/video/h8upEg-bEJ8/w-d-xo.html
Yes, we all know masks protect “others”. For once I would like a healthcare expert to tell me how I can protect “MYSELF” from all the selfish “Karens” at the grocery store who refuse to wear masks!
You do what you can. There is only one person you have definitive influence over and that is you. You keep your distance and you wash your hands and wear a mask if you feel it is needed. Don’t let the others impact your ability to take action.
Apparently there is a new study out that shows masks may improve immunity to covid - I was shocked too - the premise is the mask reduces the viral load and introduces smaller amounts of covid to the body.

Thanks for the great video btw!
Medical grade masks designed to stop viruses aren't 25 bucks a piece for the fun of it.
Medical grade masks are not the topic at hand :)
That study you showed told me all i needed to know about cloth mask. My suspensions was correct.
There are a few different studies I talk about Be sure to read them for the full picture
Make sure your conclusion is that you should wear a cloth mask as instructed by science and human decency.

How long are we supposed to wear the mask as in the rest of the year, til we get a vaccine, or forever?
