It’s been obvious for a while now that asymptomatic people transmit the virus more than those who show symptoms. How many people move about when they are sick? Don’t take WHO seriously just protect yourself the way nurses do. If the masks weren’t useful the healthcare workers wouldn’t be complaining of shortages.

CptCharlesVane:
Masks offer some level of protection. Better with one than without one. If they’re not useful why do nurses wear them?

Oga, surgical mask are use for different purposes, except for fighting corona. No sane medical worker would put on a surgical mask and attend to corona patients.

Oga, there are asymptomatic patients out there crying the virus with no symptoms , the mask prevent them from spreading it if they use the mask often. That’s the idea.
And if a clean patient uses mask often outside, it prevents them from putting hand in there nose and mouth unknowing because the mask will always obstruct you and rremind you of it’s purpose.

Shelumiel:
Oga, WHO said surgical mask cannot prevent you from getting corona: The virus can penetrate through the mask, which is why the N95surgical mask is used instead. The only known way of preventing corona is by staying at home.

Shelumiel:
...but face masks don't prevent corona na.

One girl weh get Corona virus na cough someone bin cough for her face. To say she bin wear Face mask, atleast e for fit prevent the droplet from entering her nose or mouth.

olaniyilukman:
Bro, can you stop this argument and make urself informed.. Lack of information kills faster than Coronavirus...

Oga, you're the one who is ignorant. Just visit WHO and stop deceiving yourself.

Riddle me this then, how come countries that have controlled the spread have almost everyone wearing masks and the ones that are struggling in Europe and the US don’t? You think there is no correlation? Btw the majority wear surgical masks not N95.

Bros, no vex o. But did WHO tell you their aerosol test proved that surgical mask prevent corona virus from reaching humans?

Onlyonebuhari:
But they are putting it on wrongly

Most people are placing them on their jaws instead of covering their noses and mouth.

Source BBC: Aren't countries changing their advice on masks anyway?
Long popular in many countries in Asia, masks are now being assessed for public use by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC). In Austria, the police now wear them and anyone dealing with the police will have to wear one too. Supermarkets there will insist that customers do too. A once-rare sight in Europe is becoming more common, and new advice from the WHO would accelerate that change.

WHO never said it stops it’s but it reduces the chance of contracting it.
WHO sef is currently confused bro. They said they might consider that, if NY case continue increasing. But they are afraid it will be out of market if they approve that. WHO is trying to avoid its scarcity.

Shelumiel:

It's good that the government is working on providing them free. The prices have become outrageous. Local companies should be manufacturing them.

CptCharlesVane:

N95 mask are very expensive (how many people can afford a mask that protects roughly 2hours and cost around $300-$400?) ; that's which is why they are not being used in such places. And secondly, those countries you mentioned are still having increasing number of covid-19 cases(even though they parading with face mask upanda). So where is the protection from the mask?

Keep waiting for WHO that is the mouthpiece for China tell you how to protect yourself. Putin is likely infected, Boris Johnson is, Prince Charles, Trump had to be tested they never wear masks but look at the Asians, they wear masks, even president Xi wears masks (not N95) but they’re not useful. Wait for WHO that said no human transmission and downplayed the seriousness saying it wasn’t going to become a pandemic, even criticizing the US for shutting borders to China in January.

Wait.

It is well

They shouldn't behave like their neighbours

May God help us

Oga use your head and stop being deceived. WHO have more concrete data on this issue. Meaning that they have the know-how of how this virus spreads. And besides, these countries that encourage the use of face mask still have rising numbers of corona patients. Which means the mask are not effective in the preventing the spread. The only known way is what I've told you previously :stay at home!

ignis:
Will the government provide face mask to people ?
Hypocrisy at it's peak.

U just didn't read the post atall.

I understand bro, thanks for the free lesson... God bless you man

haven’t you heard about the Corona PPE’s like mask and gloves that were tested to be infected with corona after been shipped to a country in Europe.

Minimize shutting people down for likes...stay blessed

Oga, don't mix conspiracy theories with scientific evidences. The mask you're talking about are surgical mask...and an aerosol test carried out proved that covid-19 cannot be stopped by a mere surgical mask!

Surgical masks offer some form of protection! Would they stop you from getting infected in a high risk environment? Probably not but if everyone wears surgical masks, asymptomatic people wouldn’t be going about infecting people because it stops droplets from flying about.

South Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore ... and yes their numbers may be increasing but they’re definitely not going through the hell the US, Spain, Italy, UK ... who have been told this rubbish about face masks because they didn’t want people hoarding them and wanted them to be available for healthcare workers who need them the most. This was the main reason they recommended that people not wear masks, also at the time they thought only symptomatic people spread the virus which isn’t the case.

Better protected with masks than without one. You don’t have to accept that but stop trying to sell the stale story about face masks. You think if everyone wore face masks on a rush hour train in NYC the infection rate would be as high?

Shelumiel:

Masks are not for prevention but to reduce the spreading just incase the wearer is asymptomatic.., and if the spreading is reduced then lesser people will b infected.


Infact this is wat we should do in the whole Nigeria.

Shelumiel:

It does.

WHO is lying so people won't buy all the masks and leave doctors unprotected.
If it doesn't work, doctors will not be using it.

So the one i bought in iya mulika shop had also be infected abi
You are dumb
If face mask doest has it part that it plays. It wont that be generally accepted
Even people of high calibre wear it
Just go and get yours

We move

Okay. Do you!

We are still moving to the permanent site.

The problem with this seat at home in Cross river is that places like Akamkpa LG will never have NEPA light.
Even at that they will be violating the law of seat @ home by moving from one house to another to collect bill.

NEPA should plz be giving light especially to Akamkpa Cross river so that corpers who have been stucked here will not be violating the law of social distancing in the name of looking for where to charge phone.

Surgical masks may offer up to 55% protection against Covid 19. Do you want to gamble with that
STAY HOME

backnbeta:

Better to wear it than not

Makavelli25:

Is he going to distribute it to them or what? Because this thing is now expensive and scarce too.
Secondly, there are rules to wearing face masks: you have to be changing it, at least one per day per individual. One piece now costs between N250 and N300. Family of six will need minimum of six per day unless you know how to disinfect it and in that case, you must have disinfectant at home.

And it is not that necessary unless you are infected or caring for an infected individual, according to WHO

Face mask doesn't protect against this virus, plz reduce the panic. It's times like this some people want to show more authoritarianism than china
