CDC Recommends Putting Hosiery over your face along with a mask Saw this several days earlier @ a couple sites and made a meme... which is mostly but not entirely true based on what I found. But enjoy: https://files.catbox.moe/sqojzl.jpg
Around same period, articles did not actually source the CDC report... in truth, it appears to me that an NPR "Health expert" who presented her "favorite trick" seems to be the main source of the thing, Maria Godoy. Maria Godoy is a senior science and health editor and correspondent with NPR News in the interview transcript it appears to be this person who kicked of the "hosiery over your mask" hype:
KELLY [interviewer]: Oh, good. OK. I understand the CDC has another recommendation that people wear mask fitters. What is a mask fitter?
GODOY [Sr Science & Health Editor at NPR]: A mask fitter is essentially a reusable plastic brace or frame that you can put on top of your mask to prevent air from leaking out around the edges, and you secure it with either a head tie or ear loops, depending on the model. But the CDC study also highlighted one of my favorite tricks, which involves pantyhose.
KELLY: Hang on - pantyhose. I guess I have plenty kicking around since I never change out of sweatpants anymore. Go on.
GODOY: Exactly (laughter). Yeah, you and me both. But basically, you can cut a ring of material about 10 inches long from top to bottom from the leg of a pair of pantyhose. And then you take that ring, and you put it on top of your mask. And I know it sounds silly, but studies show this can really boost mask performance. And you know, that's even more important as more contagious variants of the coronavirus spread.

So...it's a mixed bag of truth and fiction... but it's still indicative of the "weird CDC science" and how much fuckery is going on.
Freaking morons. Stupid. Ignoramuses. So they have done studies on people who put panty hose over their masks? Are only certain types of panty hose acceptable? Would control top panty hose work even better? How about sheer toe?
These are questions we all need to know! Who do I call to find out? Ya know - I think Dr. Scholls shoe inserts are bound to help masks work better. Or maybe wads of toilet paper stuck up your nose...and a sock stuffed in your mouth....CDC recommends dirty socks - there are studies that show dirty socks work better than clean ones.
