Why doesn't Fauci wear a mask

How do you hold up a bank these days? Ya wear a mask and they laugh and say "good one."

Nobody?

The mask doesn't protect the wearer, it protects those around the wearer, if the wearer has the virus. Pretty sure the Fauc has been tested and came up negative.

You caught him. Fauci is in on the hoax.

As is Trump. He doesn't wear a mask either.

They would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddlin' kids.

Trump makes anyone he comes in contact with have a negative test on the Abbott 15 minute test.

Is that why hospitals have spent millions on masks for their staff?

Or he came up positive and they're keeping it quiet. ?

This has been debunked by basic common sense and an understanding of 8th grade physics. Of course a mask protects the wearer to some degree. It acts as a barrier whether you are wearing it or someone else is wearing it. It's a barrier that provides some added degree of protection from aerosol entering the mouth and nose of the wearer, that would otherwise have entered without a mask.

The decision to wear or not wear one would be weighing whatever degree of added protection one believes it has, versus the inconvenience of wearing one, and the perception of mask wearers are being too hyper-vigilant (snowflakes, basically). Those are the reasons why I don't wear one, despite the added protection it obviously provides, and I'll bet it's why Fauci and others don't wear one. It's subjectively not worth it.

He claims he has so that makes sense.

However, we are being told contradictory info about whether masks protect the wearer.

Do face masks really reduce coronavirus spread? Experts have mixed answers.

Of course he is.

You trying to tell me there aren't guys in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who are are not much more in tune to the latest studies and technology than this dinosaur?

He is a figurehead, a face.

We only see Fauci during press conferences, interviews, etc. Who knows if he wears one when/if he goes to the grocery store.

Governments have a history of misleading wrote:

Trump is virus-postive.

Wearing a mask, but no eye protection seems like another error in common sense.

^ Fake news. You never took 8th grade physics. Physics starts in 11th grade.

8th grade in my school. Also high school physics, but I think it was 12th grade.

I suspect 4th grade level physics would suffice in explaining to someone how a barrier works to divert or prevent some or all of the flow of a fluid.

Nonsense, the masks when fitted correctly also dramatically lower your chance of inhaling virus microbes...

If only the virus was passed via aerosol v. droplet transmission....

Same can be said for the age of the current POTUS and his opponent for 2020.

He knows the virus is only slightly deadlier than the flu and he’s just sitting at home waiting for his kickbacks from big pharma on a vaccine that probably won’t be very effective but we’ll all be required to get
