  • US Surgeon General Jerome Adams said Monday that wearing face masks could actually increase a person's risk of contracting COVID-19, echoing remarks he made on Saturday that called for people to "stop buying masks."
  • In a similar stance, Vice President Mike Pence, the head of the US coronavirus task force, said on Saturday that the "average American" does not need to "go out and buy" a mask to protect themselves from coronavirus.
  • However, Pence also said the US is working with 3M and other manufacturers to produce at least 35 million more masks per month.
  • Photos and reports have shown masks and other supplies flying off the shelves as Americans grapple with the possibility of an outbreak in the US.

US officials including Surgeon General Jerome Adams and Vice President Mike Pence have urged people against buying and wearing masks to protect themselves from the new coronavirus.

In an interview on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" on Monday, Adams said wearing face masks could actually increase a person's risk of contracting the coronavirus.

"You can increase your risk of getting it by wearing a mask if you are not a health care provider," Adams said. "Folks who don't know how to wear them properly tend to touch their faces a lot and actually can increase the spread of coronavirus," he added.

Adams' comments Monday reiterate his blaring tweet from the weekend, urging people to "STOP BUYING MASKS." He said that they were "NOT effective" to the general public and noted that the increased demand in masks puts medical professionals at risk.
Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!

They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!

The surgeon general's comments over the past couple of days came after the US confirmed its second coronavirus death — a person in Washington state. At a Saturday press conference, Trump, Pence, and other administration officials spoke about the coronavirus threat after the first US patient had died, also in Washington state.

The vice president also said masks aren't necessary

"The president mentioned masks," Pence said at a press conference Saturday, the day the US had its first coronavirus death. "This morning we talked a great deal about additional medical supplies. Let me be very clear, and I'm sure the physicians who are up here will reflect this as well: The average American does not need to go out and buy a mask."

The president announced at a press conference at the White House on Wednesday that the vice president will in charge of the nation's coronavirus strategy. The federal government has faced criticism over its response to the virus as it continues to spread around the globe.

The US has access to 43 million medical masks, President Trump said, just one of the resources that he credited with ensuring the country is "prepared for whatever circumstance."

The vice president said the US is contracting with 3M to create 35 million more masks each month. He also said the administration will work with other (as yet unnamed) mask manufacturers and added that the task force is working to develop a course of action that would prioritize masks for the use by "high-risk" healthcare professionals.

Pence cited the president's decision at the beginning of February to bar all foreign nationals who'd recently traveled in China as one reason that US citizens do not have to worry about the coronavirus. The CDC also does not recommend that average US citizens wear masks

For the average person, face masks aren't all that effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19

The CDC only recommends masks for select groups of people: Those in a region currently experiencing an outbreak, healthcare workers treating coronavirus patients, and anyone who experiences flu-like symptoms.

The World Health Organization joined TikTok last week to provide accurate information about COVID-19. In one of two videos posted, it explained most people should not wear masks and provided instructions for how to properly wear one.

For everyone else, other tried-and-true methods of avoiding illness, like steering clear of sick individuals, refraining from touching your face, and regularly washing your hands, are more effective than wearing masks.

"There's little harm in it," Eric Toner, a scientist at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, previously told Business Insider's Aria Bendix. "But it's not likely to be very effective in preventing it."

Meanwhile, masks and other supplies have started to fly off store shelves in the US as people stock up due to fears of an outbreak. More than 64 people have been diagnosed with the coronavirus in the US so far, and four are believed to be cases of community spread — those patients did not visit an area with an outbreak or have any known contact with someone sick.
"I'm just a few days into this job," the vice president said on Saturday of his new position on the coronavirus task force. "I can tell you, having spent time with these extraordinary professionals the president just alluded to, having spoken directly to more than a dozen governors, including Gov. Jay Inslee this morning in Washington state: I think every American would be proud to know what I've heard about the work of HHS, the work of the CDC, and the work of all agencies."

 
戴口罩手可能要接触脸,如果取下再戴上,重复用,更危险
 
学会用逻辑思考。

口罩外侧那些新冠病毒,如果有的话,假设你不戴口罩,这些病毒基本原本就会粘在你的脸上,一部分进入你的口腔、鼻孔。正是因为戴口罩,所以现在这些病毒在口罩外侧。也就是说,第一步你已经成功地挡住了病毒进入体内。第二步就是小心摘下口罩。不错,如果你第二步不小心,你还是会被感染,但是,被感染的机会肯定不会大于不戴口罩时被感染的机会。

这是最简单的逻辑。

被感染的机会肯定不会大于不戴口罩时被感染的机会。

这是最简单的逻辑。
这个落鸡的缺陷是戴一段时间之后,口罩外表的病毒浓度可能会比较高,取下时一不小心感染的机会高于不戴口罩也不是没可能的
 
缺货是一个重要原因,
Masks can't stop the coronavirus in the US, but hysteria has led to bulk-buying, price-gouging and serious fear for the future


Though federal and CDC officials have said there's no reason to panic, their concern is mounting -- and increasingly public. Earlier this week, US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said there were 30 million N95 respirators in the National Stockpile. The US needs about 10 times that amount to adequately supply health care workers, he said.

 
疑似患者应该戴。
 
不带口罩更安全的逻辑,的确不能理解
如果更安全,那为什么医生护士都要戴口罩再去接触患者。按道理不是一样的,戴了口罩,病毒附在口罩上,更容易感染。
二是如果只有患者戴口罩,潜伏期有十四天,谁也不知道自己是不是患者
 
统治者都想愚民,跟是全民投票式民主制度,还是全国代表大会式民主制度无关。
 
不停止的话哪儿能买到啊

There Aren't Enough Medical Masks to Fight Coronavirus. Here's Why It's Not Going to Get Better Anytime Soon


Shortages are being felt across the world
Meanwhile, pharmacies from Germany to Canada to Italy and the U.K. are all low on medical mask supplies, according to posts circulating on social media.

“Demand is up to 100 times higher than normal, and prices are up to 20 times higher,” he said. “Global stocks of masks and respirators are now insufficient to meet the needs of WHO and our partners.”

On Tuesday, U.S. health officials said that Americans should prepare for the the coronavirus to begin spreading locally. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar reportedly told Congress Tuesday that the U.S. has far fewer medical masks than it would need in the case of a major outbreak in the country. The country has a stockpile of about 30 million N95 masks, but might need as many as 300 million during the outbreak, he said.

老向逻辑虽对,但忽略了一事实。洋人鼻梁高,胡子多,吃饭接吻都成问题,口罩盖不了,戴了也等于没戴。
