Between election ads, corona virus, and the Dow Jones, I hate to turn the TV on. It could get depressing if one let it.

From what I've read a mask without hand washing does very little. A mask with hand washing is much better than just hand washing, in terms of prevention.

Wash hands briskly for the amount of time it takes to say the ABC song. When using alcohol hand sanitizer let it dry on the skin. That is what kills the bugs. If this fails do CPR to the cadence of “Stayin Alive”.

The basic mask helps the wearer prevent the spread of droplets which may contain the virus. The basic mask does not help the wearer avoid droplets very much. As stated above, a well fitted N-95 mask will help prevent the droplets from entering your lungs. The N-95 mask in not very confortable for daily wear. N-95 masks not effective on people with facial hair as they must have tight fit. I hear they are personally tested with flavored dust like Crystal Light tea. It is a puff from an atomizer. Don’t know what it is but it has a sweet smell.

Hey medical folks like Ray Bob and all, do these surgical masks prevent you from breathing in a virus OR prevent you from breathing out a virus and spreading it? It helps with droplet / aerosol spray mainly, not inspired air. Remember it’s traditionally been worn by the person attempting to contain THEIR germs (the sick person or medical staff) but somewhere along the way the Asian community thought it kept them from getting sick. Meanwhile, in airports all across the country, we dodged them thinking they were infectious once they donned the mask. It will surely help you keep aerosol particles out of your airway if you’re around sick people coughing, sneezing or even talking. It’s also important to remember that many of these cultures will pack as many humans as possible into public modes of transport where strangers are literally breathing/sneezing/coughing ON you. If you’re sick, it absolutely helps so we should all wear one or better yet..... stay home.

Right. If you are sick it will help keep you from infecting others. If you are healthy its not going to keep you from getting anything. Wash your hands, dont touch your face, stay away from Dr. Oz said so. And he is on TV, so he knows best.
