You didn't answer the question. You responded with another question.

I know, which is why I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish. So you concede then that the current advice of Fauci and the other health advisors should be followed?

In his actual quote, he didn't admit he "lied." He stated that they were concerned about the lack of supplies and already "knew" it wasn't very effective at protecting the wearer. The misleading is in that they didn't take into consideration that it could help protect others from the wearer...

They said masks are ineffective at protecting the wearer. THEY STILL SAY THAT. Since then, they have found that masks are effective in HELPING prevent spread by potentially protecting those around you. It's more of an amendment than a change. ORIGINAL: Masks are ineffective in protecting...

I'm not going to stay and argue just for the sake of arguing. Have a good one.

Because medics needed masks to stop the spread of other diseases, same as they always wear masks for. I don't understand why that is confusing.

Are you saying we shouldn't listen to their advice because someone else might know better? Of course they are not always right, but they are the best source of information regarding protecting society from this virus. We should listen.

No, I'm not conceding they were wrong. I don't think they were. At the time, lack of supplies and needing to protect the healthcare workers took precedent. They overwhelmingly suggested staying home at the time until supplies could be made available. They are now.

Because people can social distance and avoid going out. Medics are at higher risk by simply doing their jobs. There can't be any disputing they are clearly at the highest risk.

Also, you have to consider lack of supplies at the time. I know the US was at risk of hospitals running out of supplies early on. The advice at the time was sound with that taken into consideration. Now homemade masks are rampant and the instruction has changed.

What CURRENT advice should we not follow?

That goes back to opinions changing as we learn more. The current instruction is to use them and has been for many months.

What advice should people NOT follow from the medical experts? So far as I've seen, they've never recommended shutting down the economy. They've recommended nationwide mask mandates and social distancing. They've recommended quarantine to those exposed. You're implying that they've said...

This is the kind of ignorant BS I'm talking about. https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2020/10/24/pence-to-continue-travel-after-close-contact-with-top-aide-who-tested-positive/#fdd2ca413aeb You have another spreader event and you were potentially exposed, yet you don't care enough...

If it were me, I would press charges and sue.

Recording laws do vary from state to state. Just like others, my employment history requires a good understanding of them. Many require explicit permission from all parties who may be in the recording. That is why every IVR tells you that you consent by staying on the line. Your talk with...

And really, it's about slowing the virus more than stopping it. Until we have an effective vaccine, is imperative we all follow the instructions laid out by the health experts and not the politicians. They clearly don't know what they are doing, as this pandemic has shown. Trump had an...

Of course. We haven't had enough time to really study the virus to this level. The evidence does seem to point to it being true though. They've also said that the symptoms are different for people who get less sick. According to articles and my observations... For people I know who have...

It's not just less likely to infect you. It's less severe. Does anyone read my full post? Lol Yes, viruses multiply... But your body begins fighting immediately. Less viruses in = less to multiply, potentially a LOT less. You'll get less sick of you're body doesn't have to fight as hard...

for the rest
