Ep 69 – Mask Wearing & COVID 19 – Risks, Benefits & Requirements

The title says it all folks, Mask Wearing & COVID-19 – Risks, Benefits & Requirements. What are risks and what are the OSHA requirements? Listen in as we discuss the very relevant topic of Covid-19 and the use of mask. In this episode, we review some literature from different sources assessing N95, P95, surgical masks, and cloth/fabric/cotton masks.

We are releasing today’s episode early in light of recent requirements in the state of Texas for masks in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent increases seen in Texas.

We start by sharing a rant from an OSHA 10 & 30 certified individual. He outlines the lack of efficacy of each category, N95, P95, surgical and cloth masks. He ends with the fact that not only are cloth masks not helpful, they could be more harmful.

Then, we go into an article from UC San Francisco arguing for masks. The men interviewed share theories as to why the CDC released confusing information, first saying masks should not be worn by the public, then saying they should. Later, they share evidence they believe supports the efficacy of masks. [more info at ... https://qmcast.com/ep69/]
