Sadiq Khan: Mandatory Masks Will Be the ‘New Normal' for at Least Another Year
[21st Century Wire] One of the great impending disasters of the COVID crisis is that despite the fact that the Coronavirus is rapidly disappearing and its true Infection Fatality Rate is in the exact same range as the seasonal flu, politicians and government health officials seem determined to roll-out the globalist "New Normal" regime.

We're continually told by health officials and the media that the primary reason for requiring face masks is to protect people from the COVID-19 airborne pathogen. There are numerous problems with this government belief system, not least of all because it assumes that every person is equally at risk of illness due to COVID-19, which is false. The vast majority of the general population are not at risk at all, as it mainly only affects one specific demographic: over 70 years old with chronic long-term health conditions, and within that risk group the majority of complications and fatalities have been with nursing/care home residents (none of these people travel on public transport). The other reason why this virus is not a threat to the wider population is because it is seasonal in nature; it has followed the exact same trajectory of decline in every country worldwide, and by now has all but extinguished itself in any significant form. But even beyond all of this, it has already been well-established by numerous scientific experts that masks are incapable of protecting people against this or any other respiratory virus.

This means that wearing them is more a psychological reinforcement rather than any real medical prophylactic.

Even America's health tsar, Anthony Fauci, admitted as much in a 60 Minutes interview in March, where he stated, "There's no reason to be walking around with a mask."

And despite all of that, the New Normal agenda is still being pushed through.

hope the above link works or could 1 of the mods please fix it?
BLUF even a surgical mask can cut 94% of emissions of particles even smaller than the coronavirus.
Granted, if I was working in an ICU I would insist on an M60 PAPR and the equivalent of MOPP4 -per my CERF-P training on Ebola virus in 2014.
I live and work in an area that unfortunately has made national news because of the rise in Covid 19 positivity. When my gym opened in a limited fashion with only 27 people allowed at a time, I was still the only person wearing a mask. I will do it quietly to be a good example. I am not a virtue strutter! I want our economy to stay open. Second and third order consequences of a 21-year-old becoming Covid 19 positive include their father not being able to start chemotherapy (actual case). It concerns me every time I see the CCP go Batsh-t crazy every time a pocket of Covid 19 pops up in China. In my estimation they know more about what this virus can actually do than we do at this time. So if the slight inconvenience of wearing a mask allows my patients, military unit, city, state and country to stay healthy economically and medically; I will be a doggone Patriot and wear a damn mask. MURICA!

#3 If half the audience at Trump's Tulsa rally aren't dead in three weeks (that won't happen) the media will be screeching about the three that died in car wrecks on the way home. This rally is a calculated move to destroy St. Fauxiism. It will succeed.

#8 Titus Thud4344‘s link is now clickable in his comment. Dr. Titus dear, this is one of those learning curve thingies that I was really excited to climb.

When you have a link you want to be clickable.

1) copy the URL
2) type a word or phrase describing the link, eg. the headline of the article: Can Masks Capture Coronavirus Particles?. I left the URL as you typed it in this case.
3) highlight your bit of text
4) looking below the comment text box at the row of letters and icons, click on the little globe sitting on two chain links
5) in the little box that pops up asking you to Enter URL for the link, delete the place-holding http:// , then paste in your copied URL.
6) click OK.
Easy peasy!
