“There is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit. In fact, there’s some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly,” Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO health emergencies program, said at a media briefing in Geneva, Switzerland, on Monday.
You see you the public are too stupid to wear a mask.
At this point WHO in the fck will listen to these idiots!
Claim: ‘Face masks don’t work’
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.
Jack has a small stash of N95 mask that Mrs Jack bought when we remodeled house because of Hurricane Harvey flood. He will wear them when HAS to go out for food and to pharmacy.

‘Tedros praised China’s handling even though they silenced whistleblowers and prevented World Health Organisation officials from investigating the outbreak in its early weeks,’ said Kristine Lee, China analyst at an influential US think-tank.
‘There is a clear narrative coming out of the WHO that panders to Xi Jinping’s view about his country’s handling of coronavirus.’
AS THIS virus sparks global catastrophe, there are growing fears that the man leading a crucial international organisation heavily funded by the US and Britain is promoting Chinese interests.
‘It is pretty much clear he is a shield for Beijing,’ said a senior British Cabinet source. ‘His comments congratulating China for exemplary handing of the crisis are not borne out by the reality of events.’
This is what happens when politics are more important than lives. Let Jack give you a quick summary …
1. China to WHO … No WHO cannot come in to China to investigate … TRUST US!
2. China to WHO … we have silenced whistleblowers and reporters … and don’t say a word about it!
3. China to WHO … Now lets have that glowing assessment of our efforts to keep this shit under wraps.
The Guardian has learned that the allegations include claims that funds intended for the Ebola outbreak in west Africa were misused, with staff fabricating a mission so that a senior employee’s girlfriend, a junior professional, could join him during the Ebola response.
It has also been claimed that, during an Ebola outbreak in DRC last year, a plane was hired to transport three vehicles from a warehouse in Dubai at the cost of $1m (£773,000). Tarik Jašarevi?, a spokesperson for the WHO, rebutted the claim, and said the agency had shipped 10 vehicles from Dubai in May because “there were no vehicles available for sale in DRC that met minimum UN safety standards at the time”. Jašarevi? said the cost of transporting the vehicles was $237,801.
