New York City health officials issued new guidance Thursday to prevent the spread of coronavirus—and its growing number of variants—urging people to wear two masks now, instead of just one. The new recommendations came from both Mayor de Blasio and city Health Commissioner Dr. Dave Chokshi amid growing concerns over more contagious coronavirus mutations. “Of all the things that we’ve learned in this crisis, maybe the most profound is the power of a mask,” de Blasio said at his Thursday morning press briefing.(Snip) The city’s recommendation comes several days after the Centers for Disease and Control issued similar guidelines

If masks work, why is there still a pandemic? But of course he means social control, not virus control.

It's obvious these people don't have a clue. Just go back to the basics, protect the vulnerable and practice basic hygiene. It's really not rocket science.

Or just get the vaccine, unless of course, the vaccine doesn't work.

Elect stupid politicians, get stupid results. How about a plastic bag over the head with duct tape? Guaranteed to stop virus spread within 15 minutes.

The national number of new cases has been steadily decreasing. Hey I have a great idea, if we all quit breathing then nobody would catch the virus!

Can’t take this pandemic too seriously as the Mexican border is wide open with no covid tests upon entering USA illegally.

So if one cyclone fence won't stop a butterfly, use two cyclone fences?

Liberals consistently double down on stupid, don’t they?
Masks don’t do anything, so the solution is two masks!
It’s kind of amazing.

If this is so profound, why is there no evidence or study demonstrating that the masks do a thing to prevent covid. Opinions are not evidence. Masks and shutdowns are merely a power play attempting to fool people into believing that they, our politicians, are doing something to deserve their elected position.

If you wear a mask and I wear a mask, isn't that the equivalent of two masks?

I think it's a great idea, I always wear two rubbers, just in case one leaks.
I also had a vasectomy, but it's best to use caution.
And my wife and I are over 70, but I don't want any more kids.

I still think a plastic bag with a zip tie around the neck is PERFECT for these Health Experts to use themselves.

If everyone in the USA were required to wear two disposable masks every day, to make that work Chinese mask makers would have to supply the USA with at least six hundred and sixty million disposable masks everyday. Someone should check and see who has been investing in the Chinese disposable mask manufacturing operations.

Wear a mask. Ok, good. Stay home. Ok, good. Keep 6 feet away from all humans. Ok, good. Now tie one arm behind you. Ok, good. Now hop on one foot. Ok, good. Now wear a blindfold. Ok, good. Now say work is bad. Ok, good. Now believe White man bad. Ok, good. Refuse to do any math. Ok, good. Preach God is dead and Satan is alive. Ok, good. Your test is completed. You are now qualified to become a Government bureaucrat with hopes of becoming a politician.

Masks are so last year. A hazmat suit is the only acceptable way to go. Indoors and out.

Does anyone still believe that masks actually work? “Officials” just admitted that they don’t. If they did, the virus would have died off last May.

I recently posted that the tree of us in my household all had ear infections. Family physician attributed it to mask wearing.
Yesterday, I was diagnosed with bronchitis. Same deal. And I had enough symptoms of Kung Flu to be tested for it. The results should be available today. But when there is any suspicion of Kung Flu, other necessary tests/procedures are put on hold.
So I sit and wait for the phone call.
But if I have to breathe through two or more masks, that could kill me. One mask is bad enough.

WHY wear multiple masks? What they really want us to do is to just stop breathing. F them.

The "officials" sit in a room and wonder -- How can we make fun of these people, while also causing long-term damage to their health? Of course -- TWO MASKS! How about TWO MASKS and an ANAL SWAB?! Give them a few weeks, they'll come up with another BRIGHT idea.

Test results - negative for kung flu, negative for flu.
Family members were worried for me, I was not.

Wear two masks even when you've already been injected with the mRNA shot? Sounds reasonable, five masks is a simple way to prevent disease. I'm wearing eight masks right now. Hard to breathe, but staying alive.
