Says the West....Look at their stats.
S.Korea's health minister in a press briefing said he doesn't know why the West has refused to use masks.
He argued that masks are what has helped them contain the spread of the virus and flattened the curve in Korea.
Sir, WHO recently took an aerosol test to see if Covid-19 could be prevented using surgical mask and the results came out negative. So the best advice on this is to stay at home. Period

Yes staying at home is the best option, but what happens when they call of the 14 days lock down and people have to go to work?
Masks and face shields or just glasses have been proven to work against droplets.
I will go with Asians on this one. WHO are just trying to sell vaccines en masse when they are ready.

I think forcing people to wear face masks will increase the spread of the virus than not wearing it. Before u think I'm crazy, hear me out.

1. Face masks don't prevent the spread of the virus unless u are infected or caring for someone who is infected. Social distancing is better.

2. Some people will contract the virus while putting on face masks and they would be thinking they are safe. It has been reported that some masks are already contaminated from factory (no proof though).

3. A lot of people re use their face mask. This is very bad and can be an easy way to contract the virus. One mask is now 250-300, majority cannot afford it. And when they buy one they can use it for a whole week, normally it's supposed to be used once and disposed ones removed. Re using a mask is a very easy way to contract the virus. Also wearing a mask gives u false sense of security, and many don't practice social distancing because they think they are safe wearing a mask. They use their hands to touch the mask a lot of times to either adjust it or to remove it, can be contaminated that way.

Personally I would prefer using a scarf or handkerchief as a mask. At least I can wash them and be sure they are not contaminated from factory.

...but face masks don't prevent corona na. undecided
The face mask protects your face from a coughing or sneezing person.

It also serves as a barrier if or when you attempt to touch your nose or mouth with your hand.

China supplies 2 million masks for Africa.
The most suspicious is that the WHO says that Africa must prepare for the worst.
My advice is as follows: Wherever you are (markets, hospitals, etc ...) if they distribute the masks, please do not take them.
These are infected brands.
Save lives.
Share to everyone.

Bro, drop the conspiracy theories and get this straight :
WHO gains nothing from all this. And secondly the Asian haven't really contained the spread as through the use of face mask. They only thing that they seem to be doing right is creating awareness within their societies.

I’ve done my part. I really shouldn’t have because ultimately educating dunces is not my job. But we’re in dire times and the person an asymptotic person infects when he coughs can be me.

Good day.

EgunMogaji is out.
Ok sir, I see your point. Seems you didn't see my first post on page 2.

Yes, they do give 1st line defence from infected people's body secretions, (*not surgical masks) if you cannot maintain social distancing

*for the benefit of others who read this post, if you can't maintain social distancing, do not buy disposable surgical masks, (why? during the course of usage, our mouth secretions get them wet, and hence they lose their protectiveness; because of diffusion)

buy the more expensive facial mask instead. But also note, that though it gives 1st line protection, it doubles the risk of you infecting urself through face-hand contact

By the way, egunmogaji, you can pass across your points without using derogatory words.
It shows maturity

I don't see any conspiracy theories in my post.
I actually see pragmatism and common sense. FYI the USA is about to adopt the mask policy too.
Maybe you can hop on the bandwagon now or wait for WHO to give the go ahead for people to do something that should ordinarily be intuitive.

You are right bro, surgical masks are really bad. The painful part it that that's what's readily available.
You see what's going on in Italy, disposable surgical mask and gloves usage by the populace was a major catalyst

The WHO officials that said that are not smart. There are two ways to wear medical masks. The person who has been infected already will wear it with the green side out (normal wearing). Those who are seeking to prevent contact with the virus will wear it other way round (turning the white side out). This is because the material coating is on the white side: preventing from going out or from coming in. It's not foolproof but it's part of the precaution.

Seriously


Sincerely our government doesn't have any sense whatsoever.

There is nothing on ground to prevent hiking of price when we know Nigerians are mostly worldly and not Godly

For instance nose mask is 3 for #50 before but now it's 1 for #250 without hike in fuel price


When making this kind of decisions they ought to place something upfront to prevent hike in price Or give people free but all na lie. You give people first before making policy not policy with audio giving

All in the name of we are saving you they will still create more problem

Even WHO says don't put on mask unless you have the symptoms or virus or taking care of those with it but our own government policies are overboard and without sense maybe they want to enrich one of their families

You’re only thinking in one direction. Masks will reduce the spread because if everybody uses it, it becomes harder for those who have the virus to transmit it when they sneeze, cough etc. That’s why the Czech Republic has been successful in curtailing the spread of the virus. Everyone there wears masks.

the whites using face mask are still dying
millions are getting effected everyday .

one thing I don't understand about this mask is that , experts keep saying it doesn't protect people from getting the virus but if u are sick or caring for the sick then u can use it.

abeg I confuse jor
Dear, maybe you are not updated with the latest news and info making the round.. Those eexperts are recently reviewing their earlier statements as they are quickly finding out that in Asia were most residents put on face mask that the spread there is on the decline compared to other regions that only but a handful wear face mask.. They have also come to terms that during the sars pandemic too in 2013, that face mask provided about 70% protection from the virus and that COVID-19 spread could also be highly stemmed down through the use of face mask by all and sundry

OBku4:

No sir, that is not true.

Pls always do your research from reputable health sites WHO etc or reputable News organisations BBC etc

The virus is transmitted via droplets only (body secretions)...which are to heavy to hang in air.

Sorry mate,
WHO got this wrong, i want to leave you with this small excerpt from this article, you can read more here

"He says these are hard questions to answer, and scientists still argue over how much of the transmission of influenza might be airborne. Some
research shows that exhaled gas clouds from people contain a continuum of many droplet sizes and that a "high-momentum cloud" created by a
cough or sneeze might carry droplets long distances.

What's more, one study of hospital rooms of COVID-19 patients found that "swabs taken from the air exhaust outlets tested positive, suggesting
that small virus-laden droplets may be displaced by airflows and deposited on equipment such as vents"




I also got this info from internationally recognized expert in infectious disease epidemiologist Michael Osterholm you can look him up.

because you are this dumb ...I’ll help you a bit....it’s clear to all it’s not airborne ie Covid 19. WHO and many doctors and scientists have come out to say so.


The new mask been sent in from China to various countries have been rejected in some countries like holland since they noticed it has corona virus in them after testing.

What is good, Does face mask stop the virus for spreading?



At least face mask prevents people from inhaling the viruses.

That's how it's done in other countries.

If you're caught outside without face mask in a normal time, you will be arrested and fined.

If you caught outside when it's 7pm, whether with mask or not, you will be arrested and jailed for 2 weeks.

We are still moving to the permanent site.

The problem with this seat at home in Cross river is that places like Akamkpa LG will never have NEPA light.
Even at that they will be violating the law of seat @ home by moving from one house to another to collect bill.

NEPA should plz be giving light especially to Akamkpa Cross river so that corpers who have been stucked here will not be violating the law of social distancing in the name of looking for where to charge phone.

Where in akamkpa are you serving?
