Why not wear 3, 4, 5 masks at a time

better yet, let's all just wear full body space suits with self contained filtration systems. NYC Health Department recommends double masking to fight COVID[^] I personally, think this is stupid, and we are now just being silly.

Well, yes. I would argue that the quality of the mask matters a lot more than how many you're using. A neck gaiter is more or less pointless. But I suppose it would do a good job of keeping the proper one in place. :rolleyes: I suspect this is just another symptom of, "We must show we take this serious", and thereby succeeding in the opposite. <edit>Reading the article a second time shows that they know this,

it's all about single layer cloth masks being basically useless.

No, no - he's been misinterpreted. One mask covers your face, the other your ass. Simples!

I suggest we hold our breath really long until the virus stops! It's also the cure to overpopulation, hunger, global warming, obesity, capitalism, socialism... Basically a one size fits all solution (provided we ALL do it) :D Alright people, at the count of three, 1... 2... 3... ... ... X| At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if some people actually did it if the government said so :sigh:

If it was such a great idea, can someone explain to me why surgeons haven't been doing that in operating rooms since, well...forever?
Because surgeons wear proper masks, not homemade or fashionable ones made of cloth.

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.So you're suggesting we've been provided with "improper" masks all along? Where do you get yours? I have an acquaintance working as a surgeon's assistant in an ER, and he's been my supplier. I can't tell these masks apart from those most people are wearing (and are now being told to double and triple).

This virus is like a bad programmer. Just uses copy and paste all over the place.... :^)

Probably just as well. I was writing a long post about antivaxxers on one side and lockdown loonies on the other, until realizing that I might just actually get removed.:~

I don't know where I get mine, because my wife bought them. :-D They look like surgical masks but may not be N95 rated. But they certainly seem to be better than cloth masks.

I was originally joking, but after a little research ... Doctor says coronavirus could be spreading through farts – but experts aren’t so sure – The Sun[^] This is the Scum, though, so the quality of anything that doesn't involved silicon enhanced ladies chests is pretty dodgy at the best of times. But if Covid is present in pooh - and it certainly is at least some of the time - then passing gas butt-naked is probably a bad idea. Underwear and suchlike should trap it though.

You, personally, aren't thinking. The masks help; not to save you, but others. Sneeze in one and taste the proof. In any infected individual, lots of copies of the virus. More copies, more faults during copying. Meaning the more hosts, the faster its evolution. And that happening in everyone infected. Can't have that. In ten years it'd be worse than polio and the plague combined. There's too many hosts and we need to reduce that. Or live the fermi paradox.

Luckily, walking around butt naked is already restricted in most countries. BTW, the quality of silicone enhanced ladies is also up for discussion.
