Thanks for that, I wil l reserve my right to be concerned when and if fatal numbers outside of China spike.
Seoul-based website Daily NK, which reports on North Korea using sources from inside the hermit country, said five people had died in the critical northwestern city of Sinuiju, the largest Chinese city in the region and a key trading route between the two countries.
The news site said authorities had “ordered public health officials in Sinuiju to quickly dispose of the bodies and keep the deaths secret from the public”.
According to South Korean media reports, the virus has spread to North Korea through illegal trading across the border.

The masks are made to keep out the flu virus, which is much larger than the corona virus. The corona virus is very small...which is what alows it to remain airborne for a long time. The masks are most useful when worn by the infected to prevent their sneezes and coughs from spreading. But if you walk through a cloud of coronavirus wearing a mask the virus can pass right through it and you breath it in. And of course it will be on your eyes as well. As you pointed out.

Everyone buying an n95 mask is wasting their money. They don’t work.
You need the bigger, heavier masks and eye protection.
I've stayed away from reporting on mask. As the saying goes, its better then nothing.
A handkerchief is just as good in many cases.
What people are missing and really missing, is that eye wear is just as important, but people aren't catching onto that yet.

I had that mentioned in a thread of mine about if you have the cold, please wear a mask.
Also, you just pointed out about the Corona Virus , which I mentioned in a thread, stating this: I asked 2 doctors and one pharmacist about the masks and Corona Virus, and they didn't answer, but their look to me was sure of a negative one.
Actually by your profile name, I thought you were coming at me, but now I don't believe that is the case.
Japan media: 60 more cases of the new coronavirus confirmed on the cruise ship off Yokohama, raising the total cases to 130.
TOKYO, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Testing aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan has found 60 more confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus, domestic broadcaster TBS TV said via Twitter. That brings total cases on the ship docked in Yokohama, south of Tokyo, to 130, according to TBS. The liner was placed on a two-week quarantine on arriving at Yokohama on Feb. 3.

Yeah, masks have limited effect. N95 masks filter particles of 0.3 microns or larger. Coronavirus is closer to 0.1 microns.

It then boils down to this - are you going to believe a son or daughter who you raised or the CCP? Do you believe your brother when your niece tells him that the virus was from a lab in Wuhan?
This is where the CCP is weakest and I think why WHO moved to censor social media under the guise of truth.
China's central bank pumped 900 billion yuan (about $129 billion) into the financial system via reverse repos on Monday.

from what im told, the cells/bacteria/virus attach to other molecules/cells/whatever when floating, thus its much larger than .1 micron when moving about.
also, wearing a mask isnt 100% full proof, but it damn well helps
just like the idea of a burglar. If a burglar wants to break in, he's going to find a way. locking your doors doesnt stop the threat, it just makes it harder for him to do so
