From April 6, it is forbidden to go outside without masks. In the last video on his YouTube channel, Yevgeny Komarovsky told what you need to know about masks and respirators.
I am outraged that the deputies wear respirators and the doctors wear masks. This is reminiscent of the situation when the soldiers on the front line walk in tunics, and the staff rats in the headquarters - in bulletproof vests., - Evgeny Komarovsky is indignant.
What are we for masks? They do nothing to protect against a virus that flies in the air. A mask is needed for a sick person who, when sneezing and coughing, would leave all the germs in the mask, and not carry them around. The mask helps reduce the likelihood that the sick person will infect others. But she will not be able to protect.
And here's the question. WHO says sick people need masks, healthy people should not wear them. At the same time, we see that a huge number of countries at the legislative level prohibit people from going out without masks. Contrary to WHO recommendations. Their logic is this: a person may not know that he is sick. Therefore, we consider everyone who is around, even if he has no symptoms, as potentially sick. Therefore, everyone should wear masks so as not to scatter their drool. This is understandable only at first glance. What happens if a healthy person is wearing a mask for at least 2 hours? You will find that after an hour, your mask will feel wet to the touch. And the person instinctively begins to correct her with his hands. You touch a wet mask with your hands and you actually have a virus on your hands. And then with this hand you touch everything around- continues Dr. Komarovsky.
As for respirators. They are FFP2 (filters 95% of the air) and FFP3 (almost 98%), outwardly they are no different. The only difference is in the degree of protection. The air that the person inhales passes through a filter in the valve.
The FFP2 respirator is needed by healthcare workers to protect themselves from potential threats, and FFP3 is needed for those who come into contact with patients with infectious diseases. A mask cannot stop the virus, but a respirator can. A doctor who contacts patients and at the same time only has a mask for protection is a verdict for the health care system. When doctors in hospitals do not have enough respirators, and at this time in the Rada, deputies are sitting in these very respirators - this is scary, - summed up Evgeny Komarovsky.
