brain150 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Directly copy/paste from the WHO:"f you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with COVID-19." ... makes me wonder why everybody is shouting out about a Pandemic that is only a Pandemic because the WHO said so [the numbers clearly show it is not a Pandemic !] but nobody follows their advice ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will also be moved around randomly by air currents which means that they can be blown in any direction after their initial sneeze/cough velocity has stopped, and that includes up face shields and noses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"375,683 dead in nearly all countries". Nowhere near all of those have been confirmed to have been caused specifically by Covid_19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroveHillWanderer Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) 4 hours ago, keith101 said: Dr Fauci has said on tv they are acceptable as a replacement for a face mask as long as they go below the chin and back to just in front of the ears and this a man who knows what he is talking about . He may have said they were "acceptable" but in what context? Did he say they were preferable or recommended? In Singapore, for instance, that say only that: Quote In some situations where the wearing of masks may not be practical, face shields may be worn. They must be worn properly so that a face shield covers the entire face, from the forehead to below the chin, wrapping around the sides of the face. Groups that can wear a face shield: Children twelve years and below, who may have difficulty wearing and keeping face masks on for a prolonged period of time; Persons with health conditions that may result in breathing or other medical difficulties when a mask is worn for a prolonged period of time; and Persons who are speaking to a group in a classroom or lecture-style setting, where they largely remain at the spot from which they are speaking, and are able to maintain a safe distance away from any other persons.

At hospitals, they're wearing face shields AND masks, with the face shields protecting against direct exposure from potentially infected people when they're dealing with them close up. For the general public, the risk is going to be greater from general respiratory spread, and the face shield alone does nothing to protect against that. I think that's the point the Thai MoPH person was making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Face shields are excellent for stopping infected people from ejecting the virus far outwards. They also protect the eyes from infection by other people. They are extremely useful, in fact, if you think about the means of transmission of the virus. Ignore this foolish official. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayview Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 When authoritative statements like "can" and "can't", or similar, are used they can only be substantiated with evidence. There's no evidence to the claims presented here so the claims are invalid. They're opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tribalfusion001 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) No locally transmitted cases in Thailand now, so why the need to carry on wearing face masks and visors.

The holes in those masks look like the Grand Canyon to the typical virus. Just about as much protection as those face shield. All this PPE is simply applied placebo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlylekan Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 5 hours ago, webfact said: He said this offered no protection at all and he strongly advised against it. No one in the world knows enough about this virus. We are told that cloth masks and surgical masks don't do enough to stop the particles, only the N95 masks properly filter everything, but this doctor says wearing cloth or surgical masks is fine; we are told that transmission can also be through the eyes, but the doctor says a face shield doesn't help at all, only a mask - which he overlooks cause it does not protect the eyes. It seems like to make things smoother, just do what the government says on that day, cause like everywhere in the world, people still don't know enough.
