Red states/blue states. Everywhere. That's good and it says a lot about America. We're sick of this sh*t. I even noticed Trump had one on at Ruthie's showing. I mean I have said this all along, its friggin' common sense. B1, I know you have me on ignore, (when B1 and H4M both have you on ignore you know you've got sense) ... but B1, you always talk about hand cleanliness and not touching your face. Ok, yeah. But where does that come from? The stuff that gets on your hands? If I'm asymptomatic but have it, and I cough or sneeze into a mask, it may not filter it all out, but its gonna stop a bunch as the aerosol gets trapped. The mask is contagious af I guess, but that doesn't matter. Oh and one more thing... B1 likes to point is people "adjusting their masks" as being a cause. Aside from what I just wrote above regarding surfaces, even when adjusting a mask I never touch my face. So, all America is masking up. I think will bring a substantial reduction. Now mind you I still see events where idiots aren't. They need to. Its not a big deal to wear a mask for a bit. And on the flip side of that, I still laugh at idiots who wear them walking their dogs or whatever when there's not a person within 500 yards of them. Who was it here that said it could blow in on the jet stream from China? . I forget. That mindset there.... whaaaaatever. .... Balance. And common sense. Economic activity is pretty strong btw. If Trump wins we go into bull market mode.
Ever see a person sneeze into a mask? No one does. They remove the mask and sneeze into their hands or crook of their arms. Masks are for closed crowded areas where you can’t keep your distance. But mostly they are for sick people. Healthy people shouldn’t wear masks.
I never sneeze so... I mean I would do what you say. Who wants snot in their mask right. I'm sure plenty of people cough or at a minimum clear their throat. Its not the point. Somewhere on youtube is a video, there's probably a million now, of some kind of infrared or something photography of the moisture expelled when people talk. Its pretty shocking really. Hey I'm just pointing out the logic here. If people can expel it and it can get on surfaces, then it does in fact get in the air and if someone is talking and a second later you walk by... you could breath it in. There is no way on gods green earth you are going to convince me that a "healthy" non-symptomatic person wearing a mask does not somewhat contain their degree of spread of germs that reside in their spittle vs the same person not wearing a mask. Washing hands and not touching your face is key. But sometimes people forget. They say the stuff lives quite awhile on certain surfaces. So if you walk in a store and talk and it lands on a candy bar, the next person properly masked up buys the candy bar, gets in their car, takes off the mask, opens the candy bar, then itches their eye. The germs were on the wrapper. Maybe they wouldn't have been there if you'd have worn your mask. One can come up with a gillion what ifs like this. And its obviously happening because its getting around somehow.
And yes,. there is absolutely ZERO reason for a healthy person to wear a mask. I couldn't agree more. But here's the thing... we live in a society ok. People interact and do things. How do I know the fat nasty chick 6 feet in front of me with her stupid brats buying 3 packs of Maverick red cigarettes, chipo's, and 5 1liter bottles of Pepsi is "healthy"? I don't. You want to get the economy going right? People need to have a relative degree of faith that the person next to them is not carrying this stuff. Until they get an instant swab test to market, we don't know who's healthy and who's not. At least I sure as hell don't so I want those brats in front of me, and their fat-assed mom wearing a mask. Period. And..... I want the brats and the fat-assed hick that were in the store 2 hours prior to me to have one on too... so when pick up a tin of f'ing Altoids, I shouldn't have to use hand sanitizer and wipe the sh*t down. Again that's an example.... there's a billion more, I'm not gonna debate minutia. Masks keep spittle on the face of the spittle-er. Healthy or not. And I don't know your condition so keep your spit to yourself. Its a society. Case closed.
Well Vanny we have been living this way for, um, ever. And when I say ‘this way’ I mean without masks. And every year, hundreds of niggling respiratory viruses attack us or try to... and the list grew and we became immune to some and some viruses grew stronger. But we never ever hid in our homes or masked the healthy to this extent. Now if you are an unhealthy person who has comorbidities, and are afraid for your life, then stay inside if you don’t want to catch it. Order in. Wash your delivered food. Hide! I for one will never do that. Life is for living and this isn’t the Black Plague. THANKS CHINA! Fucking China.
Common sense has gone out the window. People use your brains. When you are out in a park, all by yourself, you do not need a mask. However, you have extreme liberal idiot politicians requiring you to wear a mask, with police enforcing it? Like that woman who was tazed over not having a mask? Okay, it was a public place but, there were very few people. Those with her were all wearing a mask so, police should have just asked her to leave the venue. No need to taze her or use excessive force. We are seeing the rise of medical authoritarianism where someone deemed an expert, maybe, a bureaucrat and not even a practicising doctor is given excessive powers to decide how we should be going about our lives. For all talk of fascism, it seems to me, we are creeping up on fascism, using this Corona Virus as an excuse. This is happening in other countries as well.
The problem is that I can assure you there are more unhealthy people then healthy in the US of fat A. So if those people had to stay home because of people not wearing mask we’d have 80mill unemployed.
Don't see a single person at Trump rallies with a mask except for a few they place behind the president as props.
