@FlowerBear -

I know, just more confusing or very differing information. Or "do as I say not as I do."

But the doctors say only if sick do you need one and also, medical personnel need them and there are not enough so people have to stop buying them.

Surgeon General pleaded with everyone to stop buying them so medical workers have enough.

Yet you wonder, if they don't protect us why do medical workers wear them? Why are people in China made to wear masks, why are people wearing them all over.

These confusing or differing info add to all the anxiety I believe.

One rep said go out and support your local diners and pubs at the same time restaurants and pubs are closed across the country! Ridiculous.

Thank you governors and mayors for taking charge of all this for all of us!

BTW I saw the surgeon general on tv this morning and he looks so young, like he might be in his 20's, 30's tops. I was so surprised.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Medical profiessionals wear masks to keep you safe from something you may have but also depending on what they are doing bodily fluids are spraying around.

Even outside of this virus you often see people in China wearing masks.

Right now you have no need to wear a mask unless you are sick. Of course if you are sick you shouldn't be out and about now or really ever but no one cared until this past week.

The healthy general public does not need to wear masks according to the CDC. Sick people should stay home and practice infection control within their own environment.

But I have read that the virus can hang in the air for up to three hours so how could you know if the aisle in the grocery store is okay to walk down...so many people out shopping and stocking up.I think they tell us not to wear a mask because there is a supply problem.

I will only wear a mask or scarf

if I went out AND I had the virus. I would want to protect others from me

I will not wear a mask as protection as most masks are not going to help.

I can't see myself wearing a mask unless my immune system is compromised.

I agree with others, there really is no need to wear one unless you are contagious. The Chinese have always done this, wear a mask when they are ill to not spread to others. I would most likely use one on a plane in such close quarters just for my own peace of mind, but since we cannot go anywhere, I guess I don't need one.
