Masking helps protect you and others! Wear masks in addition to taking other steps like vaccination and good indoor ventilation in order to avoid the spread of viruses. (Part 2/2)

myth: It’s only important to wear a mask if someone nearby is sick. fact: Many viruses like COVID-19, flu, and measles can spread even if the sick person has no symptoms (asymptomatic), so you can’t always tell if you’re near someone sick! Some viruses can also linger in the air and continue to infect people even after the sick person has left the room. (Did you know? Measles continues to spread through the air for up to two hours after an infected person has left the room!)

myth: if masks work, If masks work, I shouldn’t have to wear one if you’re wearing your own. fact: Masks (especially high quality masks/respirators like N95s and KN95s) are an important way to protect yourself from COVID-19, but they are even more effective when others nearby are also masking! We protect the community the most when more people wear masks.

myth: If I wear a mask, it’s fine to be around other people while I’m sick. fact: Staying home and away from others is the most effective way to protect other people while you are sick. While you’re sick, avoid others as much as possible to keep them safe. If you have to go out, masks are extremely important to help protect others and should be worn at all times, but they are not 100% effective and don’t guarantee you won’t still spread illness.

myth: If I wear a mask, it’s not important to get vaccinated or take other steps to protect myself. fact: Wearing masks is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself from the spread of viruses through the air, but because 1.) no method of protection is 100% effective and 2.) many viruses can spread in other ways, in addition to airborne spread, it’s still important to stay up to date on vaccines and take other steps to protect yourself and others.

You may have seen masks mentioned a lot lately, especially as the spread of multiple viruses is currently high, so it’s important to know the facts in order to protect yourself and others. Learn more and stay safe this respiratory virus season and beyond! (Part 1/2)

myth : There’s no evidence masks work. fact: Studies have repeatedly shown that wearing masks significantly reduces your odds of COVID-19, flu, and other viruses that can spread through the air (airborne transmission / airborne spread). N95s & KN95s work best and should be worn if possible, but even cloth masks offer more protection than wearing nothing!

Mask myths and facts. N95s and KN95s are the only masks that offer any protection against viruses. High-quality masks like N95s and KN95s (these are also called respirators) offer the most protection against viruses that can spread through the air, like COVID-19, flu, and more, but any mask is better than nothing! If you don’t have an N95 or KN95, it’s still a good idea to wear the best mask available to you.

myth: There’s no point in wearing a mask if no one else nearby is wearing one. fact: Masks offer the most protection to the community when more people are wearing them, but they are still highly effective even when you are the only person masked!

myth: Wearing a mask helps protect other people but has no impact on the person wearing it. fact: Wearing a mask helps protect you and others. Masks help keep virus particles you exhale from spreading in the air, and they help protect you from inhaling virus particles put into the air by others.

This is one of the reasons the “Covid is just a flu” narrative always bothered me. It minimized the risk of COVID while also downplaying the severity of the flu. The flu is not a joke. It can & does kill. It can & does disable. Please get vaccinated. A well fitted mask like an N95 helps too!

Or in the case of COVID, the NYT told the horrible truth early on but, along with the rest of the media, downshifted to the more soothing “it’s mild/like a cold” narrative for the return to “normal” in 2021/22. From June 2020:

“Well everyone else was doing it too” is never a worthy excuse. Just because practically no one masks or keeps up with the alarming science on COVID doesn’t exempt everyone from responsibility. #MaskUp and protect yourself and others. In the future, you’ll be glad you did.
