"There is currently NO EVIDENCE that wearing a mask (whether medical or other types) by healthy persons in the wider community setting, including universal community masking, can prevent them from infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19."
"The wide use of masks by healthy people in the community setting is NOT SUPPORTED BY CURRENT EVIDENCE and carries uncertainties and critical risks."
"The use of masks made of other materials (e.g., cotton
fabric), also known as nonmedical masks, in the community setting has not been well evaluated. There is NO CURRENT EVIDENCE to make a recommendation for or against their use in this setting."
Wash your hands, cover when you cough, be respectful of personal space, and work on MAKING YOURSELF HEALTHIER so you become less susceptible to disease. We will NEVER be able to completely avoid viruses...Ever. SCIENCE>superstition...SCIENCE>fear
