[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else noticing the schizophrenic nature of the messages we are receiving right now?

On the one hand, we're going to get free EXTRA PROTECTIVE MASKS from the government.

On the other hand, we're being told that masks in school are unnecessary and rules for masking will be prohibitted.

Is it any wonder the U.S. spends 90% of its energy chasing its tail... while countries like China that have a singular message are going to surpass us.  We can't decide to go up or down.  China's leadership says "go up!" and that's what happens.  I'm not saying that we need to be like China in all things.  But, there IS an advantage to having ONE MESSAGE and then carrying out the plan vs. bickering for years about where to go and never going anywhere.

The mixed messages re:  YOU NEED BETTER MASKS vs. PUT THOSE STUPID MASKS AWAY is really too much.[/quote]

I think they are actually complimentary. Use better masks so you can protect yourself because the cloth mask method of reducing output to protect others doesn’t work with omicron.

Using cloth masks everywhere was born out of the lack of protective masks. I remember when people weren’t allowed to wear the vented N95 because it would expel unmitigated germs out but protect the wearer.

Now people can protect themselves, so not everyone needs to wear a mask. It’s amazing most don’t know why we started wearing masks in the first place. [/quote]

But most kids are not wearing N-95s but rather surgical masks which are okay, but not perfect, and more viable for smaller faces and easier for breathing etc.  Spread is still most contained when everyone wears a mask in an indoor setting where people stay for extended times.[/quote]
