I’m so glad to see the CDC catch up to the rest of the world! Please explain to me how the C.D.C. ignoring “some experts” who recommend respirators and not including that in their updated language is not political? Again I would like to have a conversation about individuals who can’t afford better quality masks. This is a very good article that goes on to point out politically motivated statements made by the CDC.

Direct Quotes:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday clarified its stance on various kinds of masks, acknowledging that the cloth masks frequently worn by Americans do not offer as much protection as surgical masks or respirators.

Some experts have said that cloth masks are inadequate to protect from the variant, and have urged the C.D.C. to recommend respirators for ordinary citizens.

The agency did not go that far. Its updated language now says that “a respirator may be considered in certain situations and by certain people when greater protection is needed or desired.”

N95 respirators, so named because they can filter out 95 percent of all airborne particles when used correctly, were in short supply early in the pandemic. At the time, the C.D.C. and the World Health Organization both repeatedly said that ordinary citizens did not need to wear masks unless they were sick and coughing.

The C.D.C. also said regular surgical masks were “an acceptable alternative” for doctors and nurses when interacting with a patient infected with the coronavirus — a move that angered medical personnel.

According to the C.D.C.’s new description of masks, loosely woven cloth products provide the least protection

I hope none of it has ever leaked in her bag.

  https://time.com/4297996/hillary-clinton-hot-sauce/ I hope none of it has ever leaked in her bag. The Time tries to cover for Hillary Clinton boasting about the health benefits and her collection of hot sauces. If that is true why not say that in the interview? Actually after this comment she was told people are going to think you’re pandering to the black community where she said “is it working”. Direct Quotes: In a radio interview Monday morning, Hillary Clinton was asked to name something she carries with her everywhere she goes. “Hot sauce,” she answered. “Yeah.” The Clinton campaign has confirmed to TIME the type and brand of hot sauce now toted by the Democratic front runner for the presidential nomination: Ninja Squirrel, a Sriracha from the in-house brand of Texas-based Whole Foods Market. “And we continue to carry chili flakes and jalapeños around,” says Clinton campaign spokesperson Nick Merrill.
