Data lacking to recommend broad mask use
We do not recommend requiring the general public who do not have symptoms of COVID-19-like illness to routinely wear cloth or surgical masks because:- There is no scientific evidence they are effective in reducing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission
- Their use may result in those wearing the masks to relax other distancing efforts because they have a sense of protection
- We need to preserve the supply of surgical masks for at-risk healthcare workers.

I guess all those folks who got sick or died were just too negative

They do work, the virus clings to aerosols you expel when you breathe. Yes, the virus itself is extremely small, much smaller than the holes in the masks, but the virus is suspended in much larger objects that do not make it through the mesh. Masks work, and in countries that people wear them, like South Korea, it is under control. So going by your stance, you believe doctors shouldn't wear masks? If they are good for them, they are good for you.
You are being fed lies to free up the mask supply for the medical field. The only thing on my 747 out of China is masks, and we fly empty to Asia just to get them.

Why don’t you just man the ****** up and admit you don’t know what you’re talking about with this mask BS.

Agreeddddd I’m excited for Mesa I’m in there cadet program
