Dr Fauci – asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver.
Take Off Your MA$K in all the history of respiratory borne viruses of any type asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver of outbreaks the driver of outbreaks is always a symptomatic person

in all the history of respiratory borne
00:02
viruses of any type
00:04
asymptomatic transmission has never been
00:07
the driver
00:08
of outbreaks the driver of outbreaks
00:11
is always a symptomatic person even if
00:14
there's a rare asymptomatic person
00:16
that might transmit an epidemic is not
00:19
driven
00:20
by asymptomatic carriers from the data
00:24
we have it still seems to be rare that
00:26
an
00:26
asymptomatic person actually transmits
00:29
onward
00:30
to a secondary individual
00:33
should you wear a mask if you're healthy
00:36
no
00:37
if you do not have any respiratory
00:39
symptoms such as fever cough or runny
00:42
nose you do not need to wear a medical
00:44
mask like this one if you have cough
00:47
fever and difficulty breathing you
00:50
should wear a mask and
00:51
seek medical care if you do not have
00:54
these symptoms
00:55
you do not have to wear masks because
00:58
there is no evidence
01:00
that they protect people who are not
01:02
sick
01:03
masks are really not necessary and they
01:05
may actually be unhelpful
01:07
right now in the united states people
01:10
should not be walking around
01:11
with masks there's no reason to be
01:12
walking around with a mask
01:14
um one is that we are often asked why
01:17
we're not wearing masks
01:19
uh people think that there should be
01:21
masks worn at all times
01:23
it may be what you are recommended in
01:25
your country but in terms of davey cho's
01:27
guidance as long as you can stay one
01:29
meter apart which we
01:30
took care that we are one meter or more
01:33
apart then you don't need to wear a mask
01:35
and if you're not sick you shouldn't be
01:36
wearing a medical mask but if you are
01:38
then you should people who are sick
01:40
wear a mask we recommend that people who
01:42
are around someone who's covet positive
01:44
wear a mask
01:45
but do not recommend that the general
01:47
public wears masks
01:49
as a protective mechanism nearly 500
01:52
people were recently exposed to a
01:54
coveted positive
01:55
asymptomatic carrier zero got sick
01:58
the cdc a couple weeks ago did a study
02:01
where they looked at every single other
02:03
study in the entire world
02:04
on face mask wearing and this is what
02:07
they found the cdc found quote
02:09
no reduction in viral transmission with
02:11
the use of face masks
02:13
that was non-pharmaceutical measures in
02:15
non-healthcare settings may 2020
