Researchers may finally have an answer in the long-running controversy over whether the common surgical mask is as effective as more expensive respirator-type masks in protecting health care workers from flu and other respiratory viruses.

A study published today in JAMA compared the ubiquitous surgical (or medical) mask, which costs about a dime, to a less commonly used respirator called an N95, which costs around $1. The study reported "no significant difference in the effectiveness" of medical masks vs. N95 respirators for prevention of influenza or other viral respiratory illness.

"This study showed there is no difference in incidence of viral respiratory transmission among health care workers wearing the two types of protection," said Dr. Trish Perl, Chief of UT Southwestern's Division of Infectious Diseases and Geographic Medicine and the report's senior author.

As long as people still place more value on the celebrity than the local person who OD'd in the alley the other day, whom you passed by every day on your way to work for years...then there is no such thing as too soon.

The Comedian was right (The Watchmen). It's all one big joke.

We believe we go to Mars and find green people with antennas ...
In reality, these are different dimensions ... which we do not perceive ...
A bit like we can't hear the sound of an ultrasound whistle: dogs can hear it though.
I once heard a fascinating explanation from an ufologist: aliens don't show themselves to us because they know that if they did, our obsolete civilization would collapse in ten minutes.
Yes, because that's what happens when an advanced and superior civilization comes into contact with an inferior one.
They would like to help us but wait for us to become advanced beings.
