Transcript
00:00:00.000
I'm Patrick, BetDev, your host of Valuetainment.
00:00:24.040
Today we're going to talk about this face mask stuff.
00:00:37.620
I want to show you how many particles and viruses I may potentially have on these masks.
00:00:42.960
This is a mask I got today at Yard House when I ate over there and I forgot this mask.
00:00:54.400
This is what's on my face and this is the one I use and wash occasionally.
00:01:09.200
Because we just got a word from Governor Abbott today.
00:01:11.580
I'm in Texas that we are required to wear masks at work.
00:01:14.700
Now it's a requirement that we're supposed to wear masks.
00:01:17.340
Unless certain things, you have a breathing issue or certain conditions that you have, you're
00:01:24.740
Now, we'll go ahead and listen and wear the mask.
00:01:26.660
When you're looking at all these masks, people are asking a lot of different questions.
00:01:33.400
We will look at how CDC and World Health Organization is telling us how to properly wear a mask.
00:01:40.920
And I want you to tell me yourself while you watch this.
00:01:43.640
When's the last time you wore the mask the way the experts are telling us to wear masks?
00:01:48.300
I even have a video of a doctor showing how to wear a mask.
00:01:56.080
You can tell she has all the steps on how to teach us how to wear a mask.
00:01:59.600
And she needs a step-by-step process on how to properly wear the mask.
1.00
00:02:15.980
There's particles, I touch my nose, boom, I got coronavirus, hypothetically.
00:02:20.300
The other one is respiratory particles that reach you directly.
00:02:25.400
This is sneeze, cough, six feet, three to six feet.
00:02:35.700
Then they tell us there's three different masks to use, right?
00:02:46.260
Then it's these masks, which are the surgical masks.
00:02:48.500
But they're not recommending that we use this because they want to save this for who?
00:02:53.720
And the last one is the N95 mask, which I don't have one here.
00:02:58.260
You got a lot of people contacting me saying, Pat, I can get you $100,000.
00:03:02.640
Do you want to buy and sell this to some people?
00:03:06.200
Now, these are the masks that we're looking at.
00:03:08.540
What the CDC is not recommending us to use are these, and they don't want us to use these.
00:03:16.820
Now, even though they want us to use these, guess what they're saying?
00:03:20.340
They're saying that their nurses and doctors cannot use these because these are not the
00:03:26.460
You and I can use these, but in hospitals, they can't use this.
00:03:29.980
Let's go through this again, what they say next.
00:03:32.240
So cloth masks is what they've been recommending to use.
00:03:34.560
Cloth face coverings are recommended as a simple barrier to help prevent respiratory droplets
00:03:38.800
from traveling into the air and onto other people through the person wearing the cloth
00:03:49.500
We've already gone through what to do and what not to do.
00:03:51.540
Now, let's go through what CDC is telling us to do when it comes down to recommendation
00:03:59.660
CDC recommends that people wear cloth face coverings in public settings and when around
00:04:04.580
people who don't live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult
00:04:10.320
Or, cloth face coverings may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading it to other
00:04:16.880
Or, coverings are most likely to help reduce of COVID-19 fine.
00:04:20.600
Coverings should not be worn by children under the age of two or anyone who has trouble breathing
00:04:24.720
or is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
00:04:29.640
Now, watch this, who should wear a cloth face covering?
0.98
00:04:34.560
General public, again, same thing, two years old, COVID-19 spread people on some things.
00:04:39.320
Okay, so all this stuff, pretty much the same thing we're looking at over there, right?
00:04:42.660
Now, I want to show you what Anthony Fauci, who the other day when Rand Paul called him
00:04:49.580
out and he had his nice, I believe it was a Washington Nationals mask on.
00:04:53.120
He dropped it, he put it back up, he dropped it, put it back up, which means if there are
00:04:58.080
any particles on the table, he dropped and put it back up.
00:05:02.260
This is the man who is the expert, he went like this, and he was about to answer, he went
00:05:07.220
like this, then he went like this, you're not supposed to touch this thing.
00:05:10.980
He not once reached out and said, okay, this is what you're supposed to do, it dropped, if
00:05:16.460
it drops, okay, put another thing here and go back again.
00:05:21.980
Now, here's what Anthony Fauci said on an interview with 60 Minutes, I want to say March 18th
00:05:31.500
Information surrounding face masks, can you discuss that?
00:05:34.120
The mask, there's a lot of confusion among people and misinformation surrounding face masks.
00:05:39.740
The masks are important for someone who's infected to prevent them from infecting someone else.
00:05:44.040
Now, when you see people and look at the films in China or in South Korea, whatever,
00:05:47.400
everyone's wearing a mask, right now in the United States, people should not be walking
00:05:53.060
Because people are listening really closely to this.
00:05:54.680
Right now, people should not be, there's no reason to be wearing a mask.
00:05:59.720
Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet.
00:06:04.400
But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think.
00:06:09.980
People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.
00:06:12.360
And can you get some schmutz and sort of staying inside there?
00:06:15.080
But when you think masks, you should think of healthcare providers needing them and people
00:06:18.960
The people who, when you look at the films of foreign countries and you see 85% of the people
00:06:30.940
So that's Anthony Fauci, our expert, talking about whether masks work or not, do we really
00:06:37.680
Now here's a video from someone who is with World Health Organization showing us how to
00:06:45.660
Before touching the mask, clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub and people who
00:06:52.040
Before touching the mask, clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
00:07:11.600
Do not use a mask that has previously been worn or is damaged.
00:07:17.820
Identify the inside of the mask, which is usually the white side.
00:07:20.740
Place the mask on your face, covering your nose, mouth, and chin, making sure there are
00:07:27.360
Pinch the metal strip so that it molds to the shape of your nose.
00:07:30.580
Remember, do not touch the front of the mask while using it to avoid contamination.
00:07:33.880
If you accidentally touch it, clean your hands.
00:07:44.540
Now how many of you, when you go to a restaurant or a place of business, how many of you guys have
00:07:50.740
Now, first of all, let's just assume that's not all the time, but fine.
00:07:53.620
Some of you are saying, I'm doing it all the time.
00:07:55.800
Now here's another one from World Health Organization.
00:08:05.260
Medical masks like this one cannot protect against the new coronavirus when used alone.
00:08:12.740
Medical masks like this one cannot protect against the new coronavirus when used alone.
00:08:16.700
When you wear them, you must combine with hand hygiene and other preventive measures.
00:08:20.480
WHO only recommends the use of masks in specific cases.
00:08:24.000
If you have cough, fever, and difficulty breathing, you should wear a mask and seek medical care.
00:08:29.040
If you do not have these symptoms, you do not have to wear masks because there is no evidence
00:08:35.140
However, if you are healthy, but you are taking care of a person who may be infected with the
00:08:40.540
new coronavirus, then you should wear a mask whenever you are in the same room with that
00:08:45.680
And remember, if you choose to wear a mask, use it and discard it properly and clean your
00:08:57.340
Now here is a lady that does an exercise, which I just showed you here with the LED UV flashlight.
1.00
00:09:00.240
Watch what happens right here when this doctor is showing you how much viruses and particles
00:09:07.960
Powder represents our bacteria, our germs, and viruses.
00:09:11.100
So we can demonstrate how easy it is to spread this, even if we are running into the grocery
00:09:14.740
store with proper PPE and protective equipment and grabbing one item.
00:09:18.720
I have placed my protective equipment on correctly, and now I am going to run in and buy some water
00:09:38.180
Puts it back up with your hands, which is what you do.
00:09:41.880
How many times do you see your waiter go like this, holding you down when they're talking
00:09:45.440
So I'm going up to my car, and I am ready to take off my mask and gloves, and I want
00:09:48.140
to show you how important it is that we do this in the right order in the right way.
00:09:58.480
So starting off, we knew it was on the one surface.
00:10:11.320
The worst part about this is when I remove my mask, I did not use the proper procedure,
00:10:17.800
How many people are using the proper procedure, right?
00:10:20.400
COVID-19 spreads, you're getting in your nose and in your mouth, and now this is really
00:10:26.080
Now here's a doctor showing how to properly use it.
00:10:31.820
I'm going to speed it up a little bit and just look at her eyeballs, where she's looking
0.99
00:10:38.760
Don't pull your mask below your foot while you're wearing it.
00:10:41.700
It should always be sitting properly on your face.
00:10:44.080
You don't want to have the mask at the end, so you don't want it sitting like this.
00:10:46.560
All of these are going to create a lot of tools for cross-contamination of yourself or other
00:10:49.780
I want to cover a few simple steps to keep yourself in front of the face while wearing
00:10:53.580
When you first go ahead and pull out the mask, we want to make sure we identify which side
00:10:57.040
Because the outside of the mask again is dirty.
00:10:58.440
Here at the hospital, we're marking the outside of the mask with our initials.
00:11:00.440
When we went home, you may choose to do the same.
00:11:01.980
Or you could put something like a star, some type of mark identifying the outside of
00:11:04.600
As you can see, it's the same color on both sides.
00:11:06.700
So that's going to identify the outside of our mask.
00:11:08.980
Whenever we're taking our mask off, we want to make sure it's put into some clean type of area.
00:11:12.200
Of course we carry a carton with us everywhere we go.
00:11:17.880
What we don't want to do is put it in an area that's not clean.
00:11:19.860
An area that's not clean would be something like our purse or our pocket.
00:11:24.420
So to put my mask on, I want to pull it down to make sure it's covering under my chin,
00:11:27.260
make sure it's covering my nose, make sure it's nice and secure.
00:11:31.940
I need to now remove my mask for whatever reason.
00:11:36.460
I can do that with soap and water or hand sanitizer.
00:11:38.580
When I remove my mask, I'm going to do that from a clean area.
00:11:40.620
So I'm going to remove my mask from the earloops.
00:11:42.720
I'm going to accept this mask to make sure I can reuse it.
00:11:47.900
If it is, I want to go ahead and I want to throw it away.
00:11:49.840
I'm going to go ahead and perform hand hygiene.
00:11:51.320
Here's the point I'm trying to make you with this case here.
00:12:01.680
But even the expert needs cue cards for her to remember what to do next.
00:12:10.240
And they're telling us to go use something like this.
00:12:12.420
And when you put the LED light on, look at the amount of particles.
00:12:21.880
Let's just say you're doing whatever you're doing.
00:12:23.520
Do you know what's proving that this thing doesn't work?
00:12:26.460
Do you know what proves that this thing doesn't work?
00:12:35.320
At this point of the game, it's been on the table.
00:13:17.540
Are you carrying one of these things with you when you go to the restaurant?
00:13:25.640
Dude, are we going to watch the basketball game together?
00:13:41.580
What is this protecting right here by doing that?
00:13:50.360
I understand one part about me giving it to you because of three to six feet social distancing.
00:13:57.760
We go by every single guideline that the state tells us.
00:14:00.200
Every time CDC makes some changes, we go ahead and do it ourselves.
00:14:15.880
So every news you're listening to, cases are up.
00:14:35.280
But we're not talking about how many people died yesterday.
00:14:45.400
But when you go to cases, this thing's going up.
00:14:52.600
Let me break down the numbers for you so you know kind of what this really means.
00:14:55.360
Okay, so, so far, if yesterday we had 52,609 cases, okay?
00:15:04.920
If we do the math on this, 670 divided by 52,600, that's about 1.2%, which means 1.2% of people
00:15:18.080
Total count is 2.74 million people in America have had a COVID-19 case.
00:15:27.000
But if you go worldwide, 10.7 million people have had the case, coronavirus.
00:15:35.660
If it's 4.7, 4.8, and now it's 1.2, shouldn't we be celebrating?
00:15:47.700
Now, some people may say, Pat, you're manipulating the numbers.
00:15:51.680
Because the way you need to do it is take the death today, which is 670, and go to the
0.73
00:16:08.820
So if I go to cases, and it's July 1st, 14 days ago is what?
00:16:19.980
If I take 670 divided by 23,407, it's still 2.9% lower, which means it's still going lower.
00:16:28.080
This is somewhat of a celebration, but that's not how the media is pitching it.
00:16:32.040
So let me even take you to a different level when we're doing basic math.
00:16:35.060
So when you look at these numbers, and they're saying cases are so high, cases are so high,
00:16:41.460
what happened all of a sudden with cases being high?
00:16:43.700
Well, Washington Post does an article on what date?
00:16:54.000
Investigations on CDC date June 8th, which is less than four weeks ago.
00:17:03.520
This is not like somebody just wrote this article here, right?
00:17:06.900
CDC wants states to count probable coronavirus cases and deaths, but most aren't doing it.
00:17:17.800
CDC wants states to count probable coronavirus cases.
00:17:21.840
So now, let's find out what CDC defines probable coronavirus cases.
00:17:27.900
So let's go to the CDC website, which is right here.
00:17:36.180
A person meeting clinical criteria and epidemiologic evidence with no confirmatory laboratory testing
00:17:50.620
So a person who goes and meets with the proper doctor, but there is no confirmation that they
00:17:56.740
took a COVID-19 test that came out positive, none.
00:18:00.660
A person meeting presumptive laboratory evidence and either clinical criteria or evidence, a person
00:18:07.540
meeting vital records criteria with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID-19.
00:18:14.560
CDC wants states to count probable coronavirus cases, which means how many of these cases that
00:18:20.060
we're getting are probable cases and how many of them are just cases that we have.
00:18:28.480
I remember six years ago, I lost my voice for a couple months.
00:18:46.060
I didn't have a voice, but it was probably I had cancer.
00:18:52.060
That's kind of the same thing that we're talking about here.
00:18:54.420
If you look at this data with cases, 52,000 what?
00:19:02.560
Out of the 670 people that died yesterday from coronavirus, God bless their soul.
00:19:10.060
I am sure families devastated with the loss of a loved one.
00:19:13.140
We right now have people in our sales force that have coronavirus that have been hospitalized.
00:19:17.420
And I'm going through it with them on the call to see what they're going through because
00:19:24.280
We've had many of them that have recovered in the field.
00:19:26.140
And we had a couple of them here that had to recover as well.
00:19:34.040
And I want to do whatever I can to protect everybody.
00:19:41.260
How many people you think died yesterday that we don't know was because of coronavirus?
00:19:48.740
How many people do you think died yesterday in America who died from coronavirus, but in
00:19:58.940
Because when people are dying right now, hospitals are pretty much required to go and find out
00:20:10.600
Out of the 52,609 cases yesterday that got coronavirus, here's my question for you.
00:20:16.420
How many people do you think right now have coronavirus that are sitting there saying,
00:20:35.340
But I'm not going to go to the doctor and I'm not going to get tested.
00:20:39.160
How many people do you think, if 52,609 yesterday got a case of coronavirus, how many have it
00:20:45.240
that haven't gotten tested because they just didn't want to go to the doctor?
00:20:53.180
If it's three times as much, that means that 52,609 really was what yesterday?
00:21:00.480
If it's 156,000, you know what it tells us to our 1.2%?
00:21:08.060
That means the death rate is really 0.4%, not 1.2%.
00:21:16.200
0.9% because it's a third, which means at the beginning when they said this is 3%, 3%
00:21:26.700
The math is not probable math that they're doing.
00:21:29.180
So if you look at everything combined together, I am not telling you don't wear masks.
00:21:34.540
I'm wearing masks because I'm following guidelines.
00:21:36.460
At the office, when everybody comes in, we're doing temperature with everybody on their forehead.
00:21:41.360
Nobody comes into the office until they go through the temperature.
00:21:43.620
We're following every single thing that is taking place with the guidelines.
00:21:47.440
But here's what's a deeper concern for me that we're not talking about.
00:21:51.760
The deeper concern for me is the fact that 45 million people lost jobs.
00:21:58.020
A bunch of businesses that you and I use have to file bankruptcy because they can't sit around
00:22:05.000
Are we doing the right thing right now with so much more fear of round two?
00:22:13.880
Every single people I talk to in Las Vegas with conventions, hotels, they're struggling.
00:22:18.660
Is it Blackstone that missed the payment on their first hotel business that they bought?
00:22:28.760
This is not a small little company we're talking about.
00:22:31.760
It's one of the biggest companies, respected company, missed payment.
00:22:37.180
Blackstone skips payment on $274 million hotel loan.
00:22:52.520
Some of the best restaurants here that we would go to, they're just telling me, Pat, we can't
00:23:00.840
So look, Fauci, if you're going to tell us to wear masks one minute, and a couple months
00:23:06.420
prior to that, you told us masks can't do anything, why are you telling us now?
00:23:10.280
If it's just something to say, it's going to make you feel better, and it's going to
00:23:16.960
But I also know a lot of people that are not feeling comfortable wearing these things.
00:23:20.760
I also know a lot of people that are putting this on saying, man, I can't even breathe
00:23:25.080
I also know a lot of people that are putting this on, they're getting a lot of anxiety.
00:23:30.240
All I can say is, we need our leadership team to really start considering every single person
00:23:36.300
and look at the data a little bit more, and stop using this data here to manipulate everybody
00:23:41.460
and put fear into us, and start thinking about the small business owners that 59 million Americans
00:23:50.460
These are small companies with less than 500 employees that 59% of you, 59 million people
00:23:57.560
If those small business owners go out of business, what could come next?
00:24:04.720
I mean, you saw the other day when a guy that was marching, protesting across the person's
00:24:07.980
home, you saw the guy that came out with the pink shirt and the gun, the rifle, and you
00:24:11.380
saw the lady who's a lawyer, both of them pistols she's holding, and later on they came and
00:24:22.940
By the way, this is nothing on how ugly it can get if people are hurt economically.
