Quarantine or not?

I always wear a mask when I go in a store. But, I do it so I don't catch it and bring it home to my wife. To me, it all about protecting her.

What type of mask, from what I`ve read the cloth or homemade ones only keep stuff from going out but not coming into you, only an N95 type will protect both ways?

Actually, I've started wearing a regular cloth bandana now until I pick up a new mask. The N95 mask I have got a little dirty over time. Got the mask from a nurse friend of ours.

Simply, humorously and medically correct 😂

Just got the e-mail we were dreading but fully expected - the town summer camp program officially cancelled. It`s too bad as Ryan really had fun there last year, arts and crafts, sports, games, bouncy house water slide. Now we have to figure out what to do with him all summer? I am home with him during the day and wife gets the night shift while I`m at work. Going to be a long summer...

Context matters, this is spin.

Early March Fauci is talking about N-95 masks needed for uninfected health care workers, which were suddenly in very short supply, and outbreak was barely started. For people working around known infected people it is very critical to use n-95 with utmost care, and single use if possible.

April 5th, Fauci is now talking about the potential for many infected but not aware using basic masks, cloth home made masks or even scarfs to reduce the spread of virus through coughing. Totally different topic, and mask.

In early April the CDC also recommends cloth facial coverings and social distancing. The type of masking Fauci was talking about on April 5th.

Then Gateway Pundits Lies and say earlier this week Fauci says "symbolic", and links back to early March 60 minutes video and N-95 topic.

The WHO video (that link doesn't work) is again talking specifically about N-95 mask, and from when there was a shortage of N-95 masks. The only WHO recommendations have to do with whether a mask protects YOU from someone with COVID and is only about health care workers. This is not something WHO just now said, Hoft lies.

Most agree now that because so many may be carriers that felt no symptoms that any basic masking is good for all, since it significantly reduces unknowing contagious from spreading.

The Gateway Pundit that published this link is well known for twisting the facts, and clearly lied about what Fauci didn't say just last week.

He mentions healthcare providers needing them but doesn`t make any distinction between cloth and N95 masks, just says you don`t need one and have uintended consequences.

Better link here, refers to seeing people in other countries wearing masks, most of which wear the cloth type, not N95. At the very least it was not clear, accurate information to not wear a mask as it doesn`t do much good but now we should.

And again, this was in early March, and he did say "Right Now", which implies that could change.

He also said this, clearly the discussion is N-95

LaPook: But it can lead to a shortage of masks?

Fauci: Exactly, that's the point. It could lead to a shortage of masks for the people who really need it.

He is talking about N-95 and health care workers.

Then something changed, early March US new COVID cases were around 100 a day, a month later early April close to 35,000 new cases every day. See starkly contrasting map between March and April.

Nothing burger that some are trying to spin as proof of something?
