If only there was a thread about masks we could put this in and discuss.

They sure did. Those pesky production errors.

Is that meant to be some kind of gotcha? I know what the WHO says on the issue, I literally commented on it in the same post. That doesn’t need to stop me posting the link to their videos on how to safely put on and dispose of a mask - which was what the comment I was replying to mentioned.
Looks like you didn’t read the entirety of the Wired article either.
The opinions on mask wearing advice is mixed, I’m fully aware of that, the mixed advice is commented on in every single article and link I’ve posted in this thread.
I think it’s worth remembering that the pro mask opinions are mostly centred around the fact that we don’t know if we are healthy, any of us could be asymptomatic and a mask is a way to reduce the risk we may pose to others.

This thread is wonderful and that thread title chef’s kiss

they can be contaminated by other people's coughs and sneezes
If someone else is coughing and sneezing in a persons face, I think contamination of the mask is the least of their worries! Would you prefer to have no mask on so they can just cough straight into your nose and mouth?
With that logic health professionals should be mask-less then.

Not just the WHO, but also Public Health England, who have advised people against wearing face masks
Public Health England’s guidelines on PPE don’t even match up with the WHO guidelines on PPE. Which is why NHS staff are wearing flimsy bin bag like aprons instead of gowns on the frontline.
It’s convenient that Public Health England recommend the poor PPE they just about have and not the equipment they don’t.
And considering there are NHS staff currently asking for donations of goggles from schools, visiting hardware stores to buy their own masks, nurses and doctors re-using masks multiple times on consecutive days and paramedics arriving to patients without masks at all, I really don’t think the U.K. situation is one to hold up as an example of how to do things correctly.
I’d sooner follow the advice of literally any other country. (except Brazil)

If you have friends or family working in healthcare at the moment, then here’s a couple of tips from others working in masks.

The very same masks that many US healthcare professionals will be wearing on the frontlines of this pandemic because of the woeful preparation of their government.
So a talisman that may offer protection and reduce transmission to others is still worthwhile in my opinion.
Plenty of good tutorials to show you how to do it properly too 😉
