I think the cdc's message as well as faucis and others should have been that we will learn as we go, not give guidance or mandates under the guise of being completely knowledge based. Now excuse me as I need to remount my fishbowl and surgical gloves to take the trash out

That being said, I did come across this particular clip from March 2020. Perhaps this is evidence of the point you are trying to make? If so, I'm sure that can be discussed. |

But on the other hand, I don't think there's anything totally wrong with continuing to wear masks even post-vaccination. As has been mentioned countless times in this thread, people wear masks in many Asian countries during flu/hay fever season. It's a way to try and prevent some germs from spreading (in good part because the culture is to continue going to work even if knowingly sick). We've seen even in America that flu infections were way down this year. Maybe in part due to people staying home, but I'd wager at least a few bucks that mask-wearing in grocery stores and other high-traffic common places contributed. Whether the benefit outweighs how funny they can look, I can't really say. I've said it before but I've gotten super tired of wearing them, especially because they constantly fog up my glasses no matter what I try. But for the benefit of not spreading germs honestly I don't mind. There are so many people who don't know proper hygiene, period. Before COVID I always saw people who'd sneeze/cough without covering their mouth, or put their hand in front of their mouth but without fully enclosing it while sneezing/coughing. If we can encourage _some_ mask-wearing while someone is sick/has a cold, I don't think that'll entirely be a bad thing. And maybe you said the whole "rainbow mask" thing as a joke. But personally I don't see much wrong with wearing masks that least have some kind of design (I'm not into fashion at all, FWIW). It's better that than seeing people wearing disposable medical/surgery masks everywhere and then throwing them on the ground.

That's a really good point. I never thought of that. |

Fun fact, Fauci's ~$420k salary is actually quite low for a doctor with his credentials living in the DC area. Well, there aren't a lot of doctors with his credentials but those that are close typically make more than that.
Anyway, if you notice at the end of the video it is noted the purpose is to keep supply for those that need it the most. And this was early March, well before the disease was so widespread. |

It's been a couple decades since I wore glasses instead of contacts, but back in the day playing college and semi-pro paintball those of us that wore glasses would dish soap the lenses of our glasses to prevent fogging. Worked better than the mask mounted fans that were available at the time. Coat the lenses with a thin film of soap, polish like waxing a car, fog resistant glasses. |

In fact, my usual cleaning regimen for my glasses is using dish soap :\.

I think hear you saying that these sorts of agencies/experts should not give advice unless they are absolutely sure. That is an impossible standard. To one extent or another all science is an exercise in applied probability. Medicine is triply so. Whenever you go to the doctor her diagnosis, no matter what it is based on, is at best an educated guess.

Experience here, writing from your future. You may not always be able to wear contacts. The best of eyes dry out.
