    Imagine, you are at the kitchen sink, handling raw chicken. Do you then go grabbing on everything else with your contaminated hands?

    Then what do you think happens if you are sick and you touch your mask and other things like the ATM, doorknobs...etc?

    I watch people frequently touching their mask. You wont see a surgeon touching his, if they are worth a damn, they will discard it after any contact. Know why? Think about those chicken germs again, cross contamination.

    It may actually be worse to wear a mask improperly from a cross contamination point. And dont even get me started on how many reuse a mask, multiple times.

    Has Faucci ever mentioned quit touching the damn thing?

    It's almost like they want to spread it. Why would the "experts" fail to point out such a fundamental aspect?

    No one has any thoughts? It's a massive pachyderm in the room.

    Yes he has.

    Do you think “errant mask touching” is a reason not to wear them?

    You’d be wrong

    I'm talking about how often people touch them, next time you go shopping, just watch people. I said nothing about it being a reason to not wear them just pointing out how it could help spread it IF you touch it frequently. I have heard dont touch your face but rarely is the potential cross contamination discussed.

    What's the best way to kill myself if I have the Chinese virus? I don't want to infect innocent people.

    masks should be worn while sleeping, showering and eating. Masks provide a protective barrier to the wearer unlike anything else. The best masks are those which are homemade and worn continuously and never discarded.

    I think the mask is to help us to stop touching our face. I understand your point but keep in mind that most people aren't doing it consciously.
