He has done nothing of the kind. Guidelines are mostly meant to keep people constantly aware of the threat. Take the mask guidelines for example. If an infected person sneezes or coughs without a mask on, the infectious cloud travels much farther. Since CV are most often expelled out into the environment in bodily water droplets, that only makes sense. But this idea that people breathe through the masks, filtering the air they breathe is just not the case. Even the best fitting masks allow airflow to bypass the mask fabric and enter your lungs by going between your face and the mask. Masks are an offensive deterrent, not defensive.

But even if all the air did go through a mask, CV are so small it would be like shooting a BB gun through backstop netting.

For the past month people have been urged to ACT as if they had the disease, so under that guidance using masks would be an appropriate guideline.

It’s a small measure that Americans and Kentuckians can’t do. I knew it was a waste of time to even suggest it.
