Are they Italian or been to Italy? This thing has the potential to depopulate most of Asia and Europe....

^^ I don't understand why people are wearing those masks. It's been proven that those masks are essentially useless because they don't form a seal around the mouth/nose area and people can still catch the virus.

It's true that the virus is small enough to pass through the mask. But the virus is attached to a droplet that's too to pass through.

Any mask that doesn't fit good will let stuff through. If you have ANY facial hair, scares, deformities. The mask will leak. With the hazmat training I had. We had to be fit tested for different masks. From the simple mask all the way up to the full SCBA face mask. During testing, if your mask leaked. You would know it with the inhalant that they used. Soon as you smelled it, you were coughing. No faking it.

Sounds like part of our NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) training, the inhalant was CS gas..lol
I wish I had kept my m25a1 and m17 gas masks. We drilled so much that from the time we got an alarm to the time I had the mask on and sealed was about 2-4 seconds.

M17's are going for about $60 on eBay. I didn't look for the filters. The new one is the M40, it has a canister that will fit on either side to accommodate left & right handed shooters...

I'm hoping someone can explain this to me. The gobmint is saying 'quit buying masks; they don't do any good. We need to save them for people doing healthcare.' If the masks don't work, why do the doctors, nurses, etc need them?

50+ cases from that nursing home in WA. Another case out in the Chicago burbs - hopefully not my burb.

Whelp. All jokes aside. Heard from a reliable source that the Illinois case is @ the hospital in my town.

No need to panic, but be prepared !

I work in the airline industry and although I think that precaution should be taken, the media is definitely blowing this out of proportion. Remember these?....

Soon, those in quarantine will be the uninfected.

You can run, but you can't hide.

If it makes it down this way, I'm just planning to wait for some nearby household to contract it, infect the whole family, and die. Then I'll raid their food and water stores
