But not in prisons? You support early release ? Or is this a voting block?

Actually, store in a paper bag. Plastic bag holds moisture & can encourage other bacteria/fungi to grow.🤦‍♀️

I stopped caring about masks when I realized that my medication is insanely expensive. Why bother living. People don't care about the insane drug prices so they shouldn't care about COVID

If you can make a mask out a pair of boxers it has nothing to do with health

It is better to store masks in paper bags (like brown lunch bags) but ziplock is ok if paper not available.

It can get in through your eyes and ears and you must wear n95... or else you’ll die

No please or 'we recommend'? or CDC guidline recommendations? First CNN goes into the death business by advocating for intubation instead of reporting on the use of NIV HFOT HFNC, & stifling the early use of HCQ to prevent hospitalization & now they're commanding us? WalkAway!

Trump was wearing a mask on Saturday... apparently Trump is against Trump... (Republicans think like that)

It is important to ensure that professional face masks are available for healthcare workers in sufficient quantities. Home-made face masks do not provide sufficient protection against the coronavirus. Professional face masks do provide protection.

Plastic bag 😂 fakenews

Hey, ! Look at this, please: Brasil is DESTROYING CNN's reputation. Yesterday, they invited a man to the TV jornal that only say fake news about covid-19 and social isolation (that he is against). If you REALLY care about it, stop Brasil!

Most importantly cover your nose, mouth and chin.

How does an unfiltered cloth stop a virus? Mic drop

Never, ever store a used mask in resealable plastic bag. The bag will promote the growth of bacteria and will act as an incubation medium.... CNNFail

Nah 🖕

Thank God this Coronavirus crisis didnt happen with Obama in office..America wouldn't be handling it as well as you are with it being Trumps crisis..America would be in an uproar with protest outside the Whitehouse calling Obama every bad name they can think of.

This stupid King Flu is the biggest fallicy perpetrated by the corrupt leftist liberal media... 99.96% survival rate — when will the sheep stop wearing masks?

This is STUPID advise,who made this up ? Store a mask you have worn out,that could have the chinese virus on & then reuse it !

😷 DON’T TOUCH YOUR MASK OR FACE.

Wow something actually truthful and useful from CNN.

Then place a plastic bag over you head and tie it tightly

This is for all the idiots who can’t figure out how to put on a mask.

Proesters wear it wrong all the time or none

No!

StlBluesFan2018 Way over the top

LIL masks do not protect anyone from anything more than dust. Knick off the bullshit.

No

Am I the only person that suspects the princess from The Neverending Story is under that facemask in the accompanying picture?..... NeverendingTami, is it you?🤣🤣

Can you tell us all how to wash our hands again ? We want to be sure we are doing it correctly . 😎

Should be posted in every store, public bathroom and kitchen.

And if you won’t wear a mask, please stay at least six states away from me.

South Korea got this down back in January. When it comes to pandemic, America is a third world country.

Paper bag. Plastic retains moisture which can grow bacteria over time. Store your mask in a paper bag. - EMT/CMA for COVID field hospital

And turn off CNN

Thank you we need more people spreading the word!

Cloth masks are pointless anyhow, but if you’re not going to wash it after EVERY use, then you’re just an idiot.

But remember that all this is USELESS since the virus is airborne and can enter through the eyes according to the EXPERTS that the media holds in high regard

Even your public service announcements are fake news. Cloth masks do not protect you from a virus. Period. You are lying to people in order to advance a liberal, socialist, assault on this country.

😷Stop watching

I was thinking of injecting detergent in my veins but mmm maybe this could also help

No

2 lazy

Politics newsroom cnnbrk Following a statement by VP Pence during coronavirus WhiteHouse taskforce briefing, CNN figure on the number of Americans, who have contracted and died from COVID19 is LOWER than the Trump administration's number. USA wednesdaymorning

Cloth masks are useless. People need medical masks.

SethAbramson When removing a mask, put it in a washable cloth bag without touching the fabric. Don't use plastic bags, that means you have to touch it to remove it for washing.

SethAbramson I work in a large retail store that is not Walmart. Some employees (me) go in as early as 5 am to unload trucks etc. Mgmnt will leave a box of disposable masks on a desk for all of us to grab w/o gloves. When they come 8 the box goes in an office where they’re handed out proper

To make life easier, you can now get free shipping on masks that work. Masks WearAMask ThankYou PPE Frontline

Plastic? You just keep it contaminated. 🙄 if and that is an IF you are wearing a cloth mask DO NOT PUT IT IN PLASTIC

I might add... 😷 Stop scratching your ass in public. I know it’s not relevant but it’s just plain nasty.

For how long?

Is the virus 🦠 guide to protesters

😷 Biden your hands. 😷 Biden on a clean cloth mask, Bidening it by the CNN. 😷 Biden your nose, mouth & chin. 😷 Vote for Joe Biden 😷 Biden it in a clean, reBidenable plastic Biden right away. 😷 Biden your hands again.

Fake news. Face coverings are largely ineffective.

Masks effectiveness is greatly reduced if the mask 'tents' over you nose, as a bandana may. This results in large areas on either side of the nose where unfiltered air enters the nose. The nose wire in surgical masks or N95 / KN95 / FFR respirators reduces this problem.

This one is worn correctly 🤣

The mask is to inhibit you from spreading virus. What is the theory behind not touching mask cloth? Has virus from others accumulated on the outside of it?

Mask it or casket 😷

The same people crying in the media and screaming at people in public for not wearing a mask are the very same people who will refuse to get the cov19 vaccine when available. Piss off.

Per the CDC masks DO NOT protect you from contracting the virus...they now say it's to protect others...why tf do I need to wear a mask if I'm not cov19+ if it isn't going to protect me from being infected? Bigots

BullShit!!

Thank god covid can't get onto the ear loops, and if it does get onto the ear loops it can't travel from the ear loops to the mask(that does nothing). CDC has the death rate at 0.26%(on par with the flu, and the flu numbers are down this year, hmm?)

China 🇨🇳 literally spread the Virus...Democrats spread all the lies...Media house Spread the panic ..Crashing the Econony for selfish political interest

Your mask are making more people sick than not. Since putting on mask I see people touch their faces ten times more than normal to adjust then to talk to scratch. Better off maskless.

Ideally disinfect (steam or boil for min 10 minutes) after every use.

Mask make you touch your face more. According to a news clip I saw on NBC
