that suggest people who don’t have any symptoms or haven’t exhibited symptoms yet can still infect others.
Despite this messaging, some Canadian doctors have started to encourage the use of face masks in public as an additional strategy to combat the disease.Infectious diseases specialist Dr. Jeff Kwong says that when it comes to face masks, the first consideration should be for health-care workers. On Thursday, the Canadian Medical Association conducted a poll that found a third of its 5,000 members believed they would run out of PPE within two days.
Kwong agrees that homemade face masks can be used in addition to physical distancing to protect against infection, especially when it’s difficult to keep a safe distance, such as in the grocery store.
Wear...only 1 answer...
Wear it. Better than nothing.
This is a virus, so wear a mask, keep your droplets to yourself.
Scarves, napkins, coffee filters, I don’t care. Not everyone can get a mask, but until there’s a big red neon announcing the infection across a guys forehead, ( namely we don’t know whose carrying ), I’m doing something.
Wear one. I have seen some people coughing in public without a mask and not covering their mouth. This is how it spreads.
Wear. The discussion is over. They lied to keep inventories from depleting so that hospitals wouldn't run out.
WEAR!! No if and about it!!
Of course health care workers come first but the bottom lines is that we should have had more masks and everyone should be wearing one. Yes, there is a risk from improper use but you combat that by educating the public just as with hand washing and social distancing
Make your own mask n wear ‘em. When people talk the micro droplets fly out of their mouths 👄. Government won’t tell you because they don’t want you to rush and buy them. There’s a shortage of masks. You can also use old bras and convert it into mask.
I have listened to all the advise and now I have decided to wear one. Why not? Wash it after every outing, which is once a week.
Wearing the masks is better as you can see Japan and Korea are getting better and stop spreading much better because their wearing the masks outside all the time.
Wear. But how come in Canada there’s no mask, hand sanitizers, isopropyl alcohol, even Lysol to be found anywhere? Amazon?! Latest delivery is mid-May. Don’t forget to add delivery fees, even the price is “reasonable”. COVID19Pandemic
I don’t think it’s a “wear/don’t wear” question. It’s more of a there ARE no masks available...now what?
Some you people comment like you always been in a damn hole.
Look the world health org news and all leaders specially the Chinese and Americans on the hook. Take care of your fkn people. Lies all lies from the beginning.
Wear it! Just in case 🙏🙏
You have to be some kind of an idiot, a sheep to think mask don't help. As for Doctors, they've become political, that's why they were hired by liberal party leaders to push a liberal agenda. As for the media spreading misinformation, they do it for the liberal bribe bailout $$$.
Wearing disposablegloves and psychicaldistancing is better than masks. Masks will make people complacent. Btw, eyes need to be protected too if you are close enough to require a mask. StayHomeSaveLives StayHomeCanada
If you have one and want to wear it, go ahead. Conversation complete.
Every country that has slowed the virus has enforced people wearing masks in public, Canada sent 16 tons of ppe to China and now has a shortage for dr's and nurses.Within a couple weeks people will be advised to wear something to cover their face,too little too late again.
If people believe this virus is airborne and therefore feel a mask is prudent when outside, why are they not wearing goggles or a face shield in public also? In that case, should we wear masks at home too if the belief is that the virus is in the air?
to lie or not to lie, this is a question for Canadian top health officials. we have seen enough lies from them of telling wearing mask is not helpful and even harmful in past months. they just tried to hide government malfeasance for not able to get sufficient supply of PPE.
If everyone agrees to wear masks, it might give ugly people better chances on Tinder.
The evidence is clear. Anyone going out in public must wear a mask. This will reduce infection rates.
Yes. make up my mind one way or the other.
Medical experts tend to have agendas, especially when there's a shortage of supplies. Wear them if you have them, don't wear them if you don't.
How is this even a question?! NON SYMPTOMATIC people can spread this to DOZENS! If everyone wears a mask, it wont spread! DUH! COVID19Ontario COVIDCanada COVID19 COVID19Pandemic coronavirus CP24 CBCNews globalnews
CTVAtlantic This pivot is predictable. Masks clearly help. The prior advice was - at best - a well-intentioned lie.
Yes wear it and assume everyone has it at all times. Leave your home when necessary.
If I had them, I would wear them. Every small step we make has a BIG impact. StayHome covid19Canada canadastrong PhysicalDistancing WearAMask WashYourHands
Globalism is gonna kill a lot of native Canadians
It’s only for people that actually have it! It’s not an airborne virus! Wtf! Wake up and look how this whole world is becoming one big fascist state!
