At mAs the world reopens, we are required to wear a face mask in public spaces in order to reduce the likelihood of spreading the disease. Covid-19.
Despite the initial confusion, the World Health Organization, supported by science, is now safe: masks can help prevent the spread of Covid-19 and the more people use them, the better.
As we know that wearing a mask is effective in preventing Covid-19?
There are several studies that support the effectiveness of masks.
First, the category of laboratory studies on respiratory droplets and the ability to block various masks. One experiment claims that hundreds of droplets are generated by saying a simple sentence, but that almost all of these droplets were blocked when the mouth was covered with a damp cloth. Another study related to the flu and the common cold found that wearing a surgical mask significantly reduces the amount of respiratory viruses emitted in droplets and aerosols.
But the strongest evidence for masks comes from studies of real-world scenarios. A recent study published in Health Affairs, for example, compared the growth rate of Covid-19 before and after mask mandates at various locations in the United States. According to the study, the use of masks led to a slowdown in the daily growth rate of Covid-19, which has become more evident over time.
Another study looked at deaths from coronavirus in 198 countries and found that those with cultural norms or government policies that favor wearing masks had lower mortality rates.
Do masks protect the people who wear them or the people around them?
The best benefit is for other people. Masks can be more effective as a kind of ‘source control’, because they can prevent larger expelled droplets from evaporating into smaller droplets that can travel further.

Two years later, in janeiro From 2018, four officers in military camouflage knocked on his door and gave him three days to pay a fine equivalent to 2,390 euros for having more than two children, otherwise he would also be detained in indoctrination camps.
Omirzakh ended up fleeing to the Kazakhstan.
“They want to destroy us as a people,” he accused, quoted by the AP.

Xinjiang in recent years it has become one of the regions of China with the lowest population growth, when before it was one of those that registered the highest growth, according to the AP.

Under the policy, however abandoned, of “a couple, a son”, the authorities forced the use of contraceptives, sterilization and abortions, but allowed minorities to have two children or three, if they were from a rural environment.
That changed with President Xi Jinping, China’s most authoritative leader in decades. Soon after his rise to power, the Government began to allow Han Chinese to Xinjiang had two or three children, as well as minorities.
In practice, however, the Chinese have are largely spared from abortions, sterilizations, or IUD insertions.
Fifteen uighurs e Kazakhs they told the AP that they knew people hospitalized or imprisoned for having many children, some were sentenced to decades in prison.
A former detainee, TursunayZiyawudun, said he received injections until you stop menstruate and was repeatedly beaten on the lower stomach during interrogations.

Chinese health statistics also show a rapid increase in sterilizations in Xinjiang.
Although sterilization rates have dropped in the rest of the country, they have gone up seven times in Xinjiang, between 2016 and 2018, for more than 60,000 procedures.
Although the program to adopt strategies of the one-child policy, the campaign taking place in Xinjiang differs by being ethnicallydirected.
“The intention may not be to completely eliminate the population uigur, but dramatically decrease its vitality, facilitating assimilation, “said Darren Byler, expert uighurs of the University of Colorado.
