[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1651363, member: 9933"] I believe you are way behind on the CDC's policies on masks. Early on the CDC said we should save our limited supply of masks for healthcare workers. They said masks protect others from you, rather than you from others. Now that masks are plentiful, they have reversed that policy and are saying that masks also can reduce your risks. Other countries have known of the effectiveness of masks for years, so I suspect the CDC knew even early on, but did not want people hoarding masks. Quote from the CDC "SARS-CoV-2 infection is transmitted predominately by respiratory droplets generated when people cough, sneeze, sing, talk, or breathe. CDC recommends community use of masks, specifically non-valved multi-layer cloth masks, to prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Masks are primarily intended to reduce the emission of virus-laden droplets (“source control”), which is especially relevant for asymptomatic or presymptomatic infected wearers who feel well and may be unaware of their infectiousness to others, and who are estimated to account for more than 50% of transmissions.1,2 Masks also help reduce inhalation of these droplets by the wearer (“filtration for personal protection”). The community benefit of masking for SARS-CoV-2 control is due to the combination of these effects; individual prevention benefit increases with increasing numbers of people using masks consistently and correctly." You say compliance is not very American. I disagree. What you seem to think of as compliance, I call respect and cooperation. Fortunately most Americans are willing to comply with some rules, because without that, scenes like what is playing out in Portland on a nightly basis would become more common. You have the right to leave your home without a mask and I have the right to refuse to allow you in my home or business without one. I'm not sure why you seem to imply people who aren't willing to go maskless should stay at home rather than simply wearing a mask. I get the feeling you did not think that sentence through. [/QUOTE]
