I hope we all get a good laugh when this Corona episode is over.......see social distance phographying....100 years later a different President would be looking at this picture wondering kilode.
That time, they wouldn't need to physically attend meetings, it'd be something like video conferencing, perhaps.

Before you speculate, Experts says wearing nose mask, only helps prevent an infected person from passing the virus, it does not prevent an uninfected person from contracting it. Hence social distancing and good hygiene is being advocated. This is also the reason people are now advised to wear nose mask.

Hence, you may also look at it from the angle that Mr President is clean and doesn't want anyone meeting with him, to infect him with the virus.

Again face mask alone cannot solely prevent one from contracting the virus. The most touted and considered effective measure is self distancing and good hygiene.

Face mask, is conserdered most effective for preventing infected persons from passing it to others, as it helps contains the splatters from the mouth and nose when they sneeze, cough, talk or breathe, which has now been identified as ways of the transmission. This could be symptomatic and asymptomatic person.

So if Mr President doesn't wear the mask and people meeting with him wears same, it could also mean that the presidency, has asked people meeting with him to wear mask, as a precaution to prevent him from contracting, knowing fully well he is negative.

CNN's Sanjay Gupta: He explained that masks could help people who have coronavirus but not have symptoms from spreading the virus. "The way to think about this mask issue is that it's not really, still, for people who are not infected. This is more for people who might be infected and don't know it, and to try and lower the likelihood that they will spread this to somebody else." He stressed that social distancing is the best best way to fight the spread of coronavirus, and said that N95 respirators should be reserved for health care workers.

Wearing a face mask is certainly not an iron-clad guarantee that you won’t get sick – viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can penetrate masks. However, masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is a main transmission route of coronavirus, and some studies have estimated a roughly fivefold protection versus no barrier alone (although others have found lower levels of effectiveness).

If you are likely to be in close contact with someone infected, a mask cuts the chance of the disease being passed on. If you’re showing symptoms of coronavirus, or have been diagnosed, wearing a mask can also protect others. So masks are crucial for health and social care workers looking after patients and are also recommended for family members who need to care for someone who is ill – ideally both the patient and carer should have a mask.

However, masks will probably make little difference if you’re just walking around town or taking a bus so there is no need to bulk-buy a huge supply.

redcliff:
pure trash.. Wearing face mask as an uninfected person is one of the best things to do as well as good hygiene techniques. because you are also stopping the virus from getting into you if it ever had the chance to come in contact with you or lower facial openings. e.g nostrils and mouth. Are you saying that the EU reps are infected? you must not listen to what people tell you all the time sometimes you have to think for yourself.

What about the psychological boost wearing a face mask gives you?


Everybody should wear face mask joor. Look at countries like South Korea, Germany, Austria and Czech republic.
They implemented the face mask wearing early for everyone. See how better they are doing compared to other developed world.

Easy2K:
U need to note that despite the fact that health workers wear masks, they could still contract it due to:

1. Long and exceesive use and resuse of same masks (note these masks are mostly disposables and hv recommrbded hours of use).

2. Improper handling of d masks especially at the point where they are being removed and reworn.

3. Most of these health workers in the US work in multiple health facilities, and as such fatigue, loss of concentration, exhaustion sets in. This in itself poses another big risk because of the need to re-equip or change ones PPE's. Infact these people could easily be responsible for unintentionally infecting others including themselves.

4. Its an unseen enemy that could still be spread by assymtomatic patients, making it difficult to contain. So the best solutuon is for everyone to wear a mask because u no know who get am.

Several countries including the Czech Rebublic hv orderd thats masks be worn by everyone and they have been largely succesfull in keeping their figures very low.

@Wilstino if face marks does not protect the uninfected person, no health worker will go near an infected person. if the face masks can prevent an infected person from transmitting the virus it can also prevent uninfected person from inhaling the virus.

Well experts now say everyone is required to wear face mask now because now they is new study that proves that infected people may not show symptoms at all.
Wilstino:
Before you speculate, Experts says wearing nose mask, only helps prevent an infected person from passing the virus, it does not prevent an uninfected person from contracting it. Hence social distancing and good hygiene is being advocated. This is also the reason people are now advised to wear nose mask.

Hence, you may also look at it from the angle that Mr President is clean and doesn't want anyone meeting with him, to infect him with the virus.

ammesidog:
Well experts now say everyone is required to wear face mask now because now they is new study that proves that infected people may not show symptoms at all.
It's simply to help contain the virus. So even if you are asymptomatic your chances of passing it on will be cut with the mask on.

Anyway, my earlier submission was purely highlighting the other side of it.

I'm going to quote my references this time for your reading.

Again face mask alone cannot solely prevent one from contracting the virus. The most touted and considered effective measure is self distancing and good hygiene.

Face mask, is conserdered most effective for preventing infected persons from passing it to others, as it helps contains the splatters from the mouth and nose when they sneeze, cough, talk or breathe, which has now been identified as ways of the transmission. This could be symptomatic and asymptomatic person.

So if Mr President doesn't wear the mask and people meeting with him wears same, it could also mean that the presidency, has asked people meeting with him to wear mask, as a precaution to prevent him from contracting, knowing fully well he is negative.

CNN's Sanjay Gupta: He explained that masks could help people who have coronavirus but not have symptoms from spreading the virus. "The way to think about this mask issue is that it's not really, still, for people who are not infected. This is more for people who might be infected and don't know it, and to try and lower the likelihood that they will spread this to somebody else." He stressed that social distancing is the best best way to fight the spread of coronavirus, and said that N95 respirators should be reserved for health care workers.

Wearing a face mask is certainly not an iron-clad guarantee that you won’t get sick – viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can penetrate masks. However, masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is a main transmission route of coronavirus, and some studies have estimated a roughly fivefold protection versus no barrier alone (although others have found lower levels of effectiveness).

If you are likely to be in close contact with someone infected, a mask cuts the chance of the disease being passed on. If you’re showing symptoms of coronavirus, or have been diagnosed, wearing a mask can also protect others. So masks are crucial for health and social care workers looking after patients and are also recommended for family members who need to care for someone who is ill – ideally both the patient and carer should have a mask.

However, masks will probably make little difference if you’re just walking around town or taking a bus so there is no need to bulk-buy a huge supply.

To show who's the boss. If any of them has it they can't infect him, if he has it, he can infect them cos facemask stops the virus from leaving an infected person onto surfaces

Are you for real?
Please read your comment again especially the first paragraph.


Wilstino:
Before you speculate, Experts says wearing nose mask, only helps prevent an infected person from passing the virus, it does not prevent an uninfected person from contracting it. Hence social distancing and good hygiene is being advocated. This is also the reason people are now advised to wear nose mask.

Hence, you may also look at it from the angle that Mr President is clean and doesn't want anyone meeting with him, to infect him with the virus.
