If you're still wearing a cloth or surgical mask when you're out and about, it's time to rethink your face covering.

This is the weekly edition of CNN's coronavirus newsletter. Look out for your roundup every Wednesday. If you haven't subscribed yet, sign up here.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is set to update its mask advice this week to best reflect the available options and the different levels of protection they provide, a CDC official told CNN Tuesday. Many experts say cloth and surgical masks don't provide enough protection, and instead encourage N95 or FFP2 coverings. Upgraded masks are already the norm in much of Europe. Germany mandates FFP2 coverings in stores, on public transport and in other public places.

I totally agree...if everyone consciously put on a facemask (with our nose and mouth properly covered) the spread of these deadly viruses will be limited and in turn reduced cases of death.

Money money money, is the name of the whole virus game, If treated correct from the star, very very very little people will suffer, But media run the political propaganda, and most of the expert doctors must end up in,prison,

Why? All 50,000 viewers are vaccinated, right? So they have no worries about contracting or spreading Covid. The vax works, right? You've been telling us that for 2 years. Don't back down now.

I understand. Problem: one size does not fit all. Some may not fit at all on a person's face=leaks on 75% of sides. Wearing size 12 clothes when you're a size 6 works about the same; only the belt holds it on. Also, wearing glasses makes it worse

'So what are the Banks policies on masks?'

they did during the first 7-8 month wave. they started charging expensive prices for N95 masks ($8) or they became scarce to find. people made their own because they couldn't afford it.

Or get rid of them and live your life and move on from the pandemic like most people are already doing. Get out of the fear Bubble.

More money more money

Took ya 2 years to figure that wearing diapers on your face just won’t cut it? Try just breathing normal air and developing natural immunity. It’s glorious!

Get me one for my upgrade....

No

Or just stop wearing one

More money being spent on it. Funny how cloth mask worked in the beginning when it was killing almost everyone and how not to touch things always wash your hands etc.

Ah but… if you bury your head in the sand that’s just as good as a mask, isn’t it?

Think about all the pollution and global warming discarded masks will contribute to the planet. Cover it from that angle.

Yes rethink it ,take the fuckin thing off and bin it

No thanks.

You're about a year and a half too late

Yes, choose the option 'none'.

And this article is brought to you by.....

If you are still wearing a mask period it is time to rethink a lot of things.

Two Years into this Pandemic and still I haven't seen any fashionable K/N 95 masks hit the market? Anyone have one to share?

Better to Rob With Now...

¡¡CAPITALISM!!

Maybe it’s time for vaccinated people to stop wearing masks just to protect the unvaccinated-not like they care about anybody but themselves anyway

Make these masks available to everyone

Two years later and now you're saying what people were wearing are worthless. C'mon man, wearing a box, a plastic bag, a scarf, level 1 or 3 masks, colorful masks bought at CVS, a bandana you mean have been worthless. What a friggen joke this whole pandemic has been.

Surgical masks are the best bet virus can't get to them we always have.its been on the news cloth masks are no good.

they help tho but its hard breathing

it's time to stop with bulshit...doesn't resolve nothing

Thanks CNN, you’re a little late to the party of common sense…

So insane. Mainstream news has bashed the people who have known allalong that the paper masks were completely useless! Now they have “new “ info? Just one in a cascade of lies they have perpetrated.

N95 / KN95 gets pricy given you can't wash them like the other cloth type.

It was time a long time ago! Why would anyone wear a mask for an endemic virus? Mind bofgling really.

Lol laughable

bruh y’all are trying to suffocate us, most of us can barely breath with the surgical masks, sit tf down w that shit 🤣

You don't want to at least wear a mask? Hey, no problem. Nothing's free, but call now to reserve your future and receive a discount...

I just like my mask cause it covers my double chin and any notice chin hairs!

REAL NEWS

Vaccinated people spread the virus

masks do not work....but good luck with this

No

I wear my full hazmat suit while hunkered down in my basement. I will probably never leave my basement. Life is good. 🤦‍♂️

And purchase where?

It’s time to stop wearing masks

Rethink it ok just stop wearing masks simple
