Moderately effective. Your better off washing your hands a lot more then often, using hand sanitizer and not touching your eyes or mouth. Also If you hear the don't eat pork nonsense, listen to me eating pork is not dangerous if it is cooked and not raw infected meat.How effective are those surgical masks really at protecing someone from Swine Flu?
Wow, I briefly skimmed through your Q/A and you just can鈥檛 let go of Obama鈥檚 teleprompter, swine flu, or some idiot conspiracy trying to link the 2 together.





By all means please continue with this pathetic form of political warfare. People like you show the populace how desperate and idiotic the right wings really are and I as a democrat couldn鈥檛 be more grateful for you in your assistance to increase our numbers. Perhaps if you got a head start Mr. Specter would have left the party a lot sooner.





My hat goes off to all the idiots like you who make this world a better place
fox news said the masks are useless to try and prevent yourself from getting the flu, if u do have it they are somewhat effective so its not going totally airborne, they said using common sense as fas as washing your hands, covering your mouth etc are better protection
I agree with Jenn O with Taking Precautions alright You Must as how effective are they Good Enough Not to get You Sick BTW If they are enough Cases You have to use them then do so If Not maybe go to any Store that sell Medical Supply Stuff and Become Prepared.
