Didn't want to go into the spamfest that JackG's thread about masks has turned into -- nothing against ya JackG, just not a fan of posting news/update about something on the 10th page of the thread itself. But yesterday Donald Trump wore a mask in public for the first time when he was visiting a military hospital regarding the Coronavirus. He hasn't been seen in a mask publicity yet, so this is the first time since the Coronavirus started ravaging the nation that we saw him wearing a mask. Obviously it was a bit of a media spectacle. But I personally think this is a common tactic used by Trump, which is to divert from the issues that he is currently facing. But if this does get more people to wear masks then so be it. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53378439

masks are about containing not protecting from the virus. they are meant to prevent those that are infected to infect others

Damn you're right. Not going to change anything here as this was my messup, but I really did fall into a bit of the media circus that is Trump/ Coronavirus and mask wearing. Though I think a better headline to use for this would've been something along the lines of 'haven't worn a mask in public for months now' but that doesn't garner as many clicks for news companies.

That is good for a change but i still see many world leaders without the masks so either they have been assured of not being infected (which is not possible) or they have already got vaccinated. What else could be the reason of their confidence? When every country is implementing SOPs and mask is compulsory?

masks are about containing not protecting from the virus. they are meant to prevent those that are infected to infect others Yea but, this is what the WHO said initially in March: ''there is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit. In fact, there's some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly," Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO After statements like those, it's hard to really trust anything they say mate.

Did you ever see or hear of a doctor going into surgery without a mask Doctors and nurses wear masks to keep from infecting weak, sick people with germs that they, the medical people, have, and have already built immune system immunity to. That's all that Trump was doing. He was visiting some sick and elderly service people. And he was protecting them from diseases he might have, just the way doctors and nurses do in the operating room. Btw, if you don't trade your mask for a new one every two hours or so, your old mask becomes a haven for all kinds of bacteria and viruses that grow in the mask. Trade it in for a new one, or at least wash it, or you will be infecting a whole lot more people (yourself included) than if you hadn't worn the mask in the first place. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

As we know, one mask can't protect a person from coronavirus. If we want to have full protection, we need to use safety goggles and gloves with the mask. If you look carefully, you will notice that politicians and celebrities do not use protection in complex, and wear only one mask. It is as if they do not care about their health or they know more than we do.

Size of corona virus still less than the pores of masks we are using so definitely it is going to do more hamr than good because wearing mask increases the chance of virus to live in the mask itself so later it will get into any of the holes we have in our body and people keep using the same mask all the time which is definitely lead us to be infected.

President Trump wears a mask for the first time yesterday!
It is amazing that it took him only 7 months to realise masks are useful. That taught us that he can learn after all. HE is slow at learning, but he can do it. If only USA would allow 4 presidential terms, he might start being good president on his 4th try 12 years from now.

Well, if that's the case (using the same mask repeatedly), then there's really a chance that they'll get the virus. Here in our country, we're told to wear mask every time that we're going out of our home. But upon returning, it is necessary to dispose the mask immediately (if it's a disposable one) and if it's washable, then separate it from other things and wash it as soon as possible.

Masks were "useless" when there weren't enough to go around and medical professionals were struggling to get them. They lied to keep them for themselves and avoid panic when there was a complete shortage, we didn't have a stockpile prepared in advance for something like this. Evidence always showed masks were useful but professionals will always lie when convenient to protect themselves first.

I'm assuming that MANY local governments have mask and food drives. I'd assume if you called up your country / town / state government and said that you were having issues getting a mask, someone would have it dropped off for you. Plus the extension of unemployment benefits, food stamps, and so on and so forth will help you get your hands on these sorts of products. The crazy crazy prices were present in the beginning, but now buying masks really isn't that expensive.
