Masks

[Back to the list of Covid pages]

• 2009 Medpage Today article on use of masks against disease and during surgery, A very balanced article that discusses conflicting studies.

• Dr. Meehan strongly says that masks are useless against viruses and describes how surgeons wear special masks in high-oxygen conditions to prevent droplets even though studies hve shown masks reduce the surgeon's performance. (March 10, 2021). He is not especially an authority.

• Good op-ed on the folly of masks in the American Conservative (August 2021), including the switch from when it was Trump's vaccine to Biden's, the folly of cleaning surfaces, etc.

• New reason to carry a mask. Mr. P. asked if anyone had some string to tie off the intestines of a sheep we were butchering. Voila! Perfect length and elasticity. Carrying masks, you always have string at hand. Might replace the paper napkin for graphs, too.

• "CDC Now Recommends Wearing A Seat Belt Even When You’re Outside The Car,"
