PPP hands out Face Masks at the Parika Market

A TEAM organised by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) distributed some 325 face masks to citizens at the Parika Market, on Sunday, as part of that party’s efforts to help fight the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

According to party candidate, Deodat Indar, the team was organised by PPP/C Presidential Candidate, Irfaan Ali. In a live Facebook video from the market which was densely populated, Indar lamented that market sellers and buyers were not adhering to the guidelines for social distancing set in place by the government.

"A picture is worth a thousand words."

by - Fred R. Barnard, who used this phrase for using drawings, images and photographs to illustrate issues.

"A Picture" is worth a thousand words. So why many pictures. Not that I have a problem showing them giving help even though it is made of cloth which does not work.

Tests were done where patients coughed into petri dishes while wearing cloth masks as well as the ones used in woodworking, droplets were found in the dishes and on the outside of those masks.

Ow Tola, as an international photographer you must know the popular saying: "a picture is worth a thousand words."

We post verbal stuff here as discussion starters. Why can't pictures be a discussion starter?

Dave's photos beg the question: is APNU+AFC distributing free masks to citizens as the PPP/C is doing? If so, me want fo see de fotos.

Read my post above yours Gilly.

Every picture carries a message... have a open mind. Thank you.

Yes, I've read it. Let's do some logical thinking now. Dave posted 14 photos. That's equivalent to 14,000 words.

As you know, some GNI members post short reports and articles here for discussion. But some also post what are called long reads, ie excessively long things. I haven't seen complaints.

Open your mind and read mine and realize it's all for naught if these are made of cloth. Sorry my crayons lost their tips and I dont have a sharpener but I am sure anyone can find the info I posted regarding cloth masks.

There's another popular saying: "one man's meat is another man's poison." What is "naught" to you is a visual feast to me.

My mind is opened, yours is still clogged. I guess you do not understand why I highlited that section in your comments and I said, "Every picture carries a message"... it has noting to do with the effectiveness of the cloth masks. 

Lets hope it works for them. A N95 mask is G$3500. and is not available. 

It is so ironic posters are being criticized for posting pertinent information about Guyana's present situation by forum crawlers who would never post anything of value.

 Better run a Sunday School  and preach Jesus.

Let me be clear. Great these people are trying to be helpful BUT knowing what people are like, they will wear these coverings while strolling through crowded markets, they will feel protected when they are not. It will be like wearing a banana leaf on your pecker instead of a condom then when big belly come, say, a"wondah how Dah ah happen?"

The  most effective  non medical method to combat this virus   is wearing a face mask. The Chinese  made it mandatory and the government provide free to all residents.

Guyana's solution might be more Sunday schools and more people believing what they learn in churches and Mandirs. 

Cain you too funny banna!!!! The long and short of these photographs is a shameless infomercial for the PPP laced with racist overtones. Bai, look how abie a give out free masks to poor Blackman. 

You are wasting your time with these nincompoops explaining the lack of effectiveness of cloth masks and risk that it gives a false sense of protection.

Yeh, the same Chinese who made the dam virus you listen to. Trump also said to wear cloth bandanas, sure believe him. I done with yall.

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." MLK Jr.

The Chinese gave out proper masks to people not that cloth shit.

I done with these guys. I was not even picking on reasons but being a health practitioner when I see wrong I speak out. Perhaps kp should throw on a bandana and take a stroll around town.

It is a false sense of protection, because the people don't see a solution to  the virus and governments wants the short supply medical and N95 masks for medical personnel. So they feel the people might feel better if they suggest cloth masks. For now, only self isolation and social distancing, with hands washing often,  prevents  the virus.   

Funny how small minds think and operates. If you are going to use cloth masks a whole regimen has to be put in place to take care of them. Otherwise, they will end up spreading the virus and infecting more people. 

But I hear you brother.

isn't a cloth mask  better than nothing... 

Surgeon General Jerome Adams, M.D., M.P.H., recommended simple masks that could be made at home or purchased online. The two city health departments advised using common household items like scarves, bandannas, or other cloth. These reusable, washable items are constructed from materials like cloth scraps, and won’t further stress the supply of medical masks.

I previously posted if this virus catches on at Stabroek or Bourda markets, they might have to lock down all of Guyana. With inadequate medical facilities,  I cant even imagine how many might die.

Dave, cloth masks might be better than nothing, but there is no proof that they provide full protection.  

The problem with cloth masks is that it provides a false sense of complete protection and people might feel they don't need to do the other things like self isolation, social distancing and constant hands washing, until its too late. 

@ Tola, rest yourself... them Guyanese surviving with what they can afford and get at this time... it woking fo them. Can you help out in a better way.

So what is your issue?  Einstein, we all know of the measures one should take. No single measure offers totally protection however, together they mitigate the risk substantially.  This goes for masks, cloth of otherwise!

Hea smart man,  some Guyanese in Guyana or even NY/NJ  are not like other North Americans, who understands all about precautions needed to protect them from  the virus.  You give a Guyanese a cloth  mask and dem think nothing can touch them, till dem drop dead.

You ever see a sneeze tests on  a dish with a cloth mask, try it and see what protection they provide.  

That lady is up for some serious criminal charges. She enquired why black ppl would vote for the PPP when they were murdering black folks. Like this wants to use the covid pandemic to kill off Indians. She going to jail as soon as Jagdeo becomes President.

Again, what’s your point?  Cloth is the simplest item to make into a mask in the absence of more professional medical grade!  Here people are using scarves or anything else.

What you should question is why Volda creating unnecessary bottlenecks in the process. She does not even have the mandate to do the half job she is doing.

This is simpler than a suicide question.

FC,  the chinese may have given out proper face masks. No surprise there. They started the shit in the first place. However, when it comes to a third world country like Guyana, its any port in a storm
