To those of you who are wearing masks in public.

Your advice is all over the map....you just "obey". Fauci for one goes from one extreme to another. He doesn't know himself . yet you "obey". Yes, a "goody two shoes".

Advice comes from several sources "educate yourself". Government is not the best source. China Virus spreads primarily by hands to face. Not airborne water droplets. Keep your hands clean and modify your behavior by not touching the face. That will keep you 99% safe. You'd rather raise fear.

 

We know each other by our posts here.

 

It IS an obstruction of the airway. The mask is the obstruction, even by the definition you offer. We were not born with masks. Masks obstruct the normal flow of air. That's why long term use is harmful.

 

And WEAR A ****ING MASK...to keep your spewage off other people and off surfaces

 

Which is why doctors and nurses are in such poor health?

Nonsense

 

I just switched mine to a single layer of thin cotton cut from a Gadsden flag bandana. does absolutely nothing but, virtue signals to those stores that require a facial covering that I am a hip follower of the tripe put forth by our fearless leaders. I may continue this practice as my DL is expiring next year and can't wait to see if it is permitted come photo time.

 

Do actually think anyone who drives a car believes what we do as individuals makes no difference?

Your straw man is absurd.

Is it that difficult for you to carry a mask and put it on when you are in close quarters? A friend of mine lives in a 30-story condo. He carries a mask for when he's in the condo elevator and lobby and takes it off when he's outside for his walk.

We have a moral responsibility to protect others by how we conduct ourselves. In this case, if you aren't near other people, not wearing a mask is common sense.

What does this this have to do with wearing a mask? Answer: nothing.

 

So next time you sneeze while wearing it are you saying that it remains 100% dry?

 

Ha ha.....

Your post is totally fraudulent and hypocritical .
First, you say “government is not the best source“, then you quote a source from India which uses government supported source for the entire article. The WHO....that’s the world health organization. THIS IS ENTIRELY GOVT SOURCED, just not ours. I guess you’re implying the Trump govt can’t be trusted ?

I guarantee, this entirely proves my point.

conservatives don’t know what they don’t know..

So I guess, we should start listening to India and The WHO


Ha ha, too funny. From the mouths of babes.

 

The totally........ Post makes no sense. What’s a “goody two shoes ?” Is that someone who believes in science and the experts in a particular area ? As yet, on your other post you used a source from.......INDIA, science, government and the WHO...which contradicts that govt. sources can’t be trusted....

Faux News would be proud. You just past the test...you don’t know, what you don’t know.

 

But it doesn't survive more than seconds in open air. The idea is that it really has to almost forced into you, like when a person standing close to you coughs.

Though who consciously coughs into a mask they're wearing? Ewww...you pull it down and up pops the elbow (we hope)

 

You older neighbors, parents, friends appreciate your concern for their safety (sarcasm)

 

I think we might be confusing an exposed virus Out if doors with one protected by a droplet which can ride on a cool air Currant but can survive for hours on a surface that is exposed to air. Cool dry conditions like air conditioning extend the virus exposer time.
“2010study used two viruses that are related to the COVID-19 virus to look at the effects of temperature and humidity on viral survival. Researchers found that both lower temperatures and lower humidity helped viruses survive longer. In particular, at 4 degrees C, or 40 degrees F, and 20% relative humidity, more than two thirds of the viruses survived for 28 days.”



2010 study

 

There is scientific evidence mask wearing cuts transmission. Why on earth would you call it "tripe?" Are you afraid your Trumper friends would laugh at you for wearing a mask in public? Seems so.

Huh? Everyone knows you'll have to take off any face covering.

I resent having to renew my license every five years with no test for anything, not even a simple eyesight test. So, I fantasized about wearing dark glasses, tapping my way to the counter with a red-tipped white cane... but it's just frustration with what seems to be a rather stupid system.

 

Yes, and quote the Constitution while at it.

 

I bet they do.

 

"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;" ... Article I, Section 8, Clause 8.

The President can deal with patents that get in the way of larger-scale production. 3M has a number of mask patents they've been using to limit production and increase profits.

Figures.

 

I don't except to pick up groceries they deposit in my open trunk while I stand ten feet away. What do you do?

 

Article 1 is the power of Congress.

"LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Gov. Andy Beshear wants multinational company 3M to release its patent for the N95 respirator — a desperately needed type of protective gear that's difficult to get during the coronavirus pandemic — so that more manufacturers can start making it." https://www.courier-journal.com/sto...ent-n-95-respirator-amid-pandemic/5112729002/

"As background, on March 18, 2020, President Trump issued an Executive Order which stated that it was being issued under the authority of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. § 4501 et seq.) (the Act). The Executive Order stated: 'I find that health and medical resources needed to respond to the spread of COVID-19, including personal protective equipment and ventilators, meet the criteria specified in section 101(b) of the Act (50 U.S.C. § 4511(b)). Under the delegation of authority provided in this order, the Secretary of Health and Human Services may identify additional specific health and medical resources that meet the criteria of section 101(b).'” https://www.foxrothschild.com/publi...-manufacturers-from-patent-infringement-risk/

I'm not talking about the States doing something for a limited time, such as a federal contractor, I'm talking about them getting their universities to design and their State Enterprise manufacturing. Universities must be pretty stupid if they can't figure out how to make an N95 or KN95 filter.

 

Of course. It's probably even cost-effective given how much it costs to hospitalize someone with COVID-19.

Trump says he wants to put down any spike in COVID-19 cases without using lockdowns. Seems to me that having effective PPE available, perhaps rushed from a federal government stockpile, would be part of staying open. Heck, effective PPE might even prevent a spike in the first place.

 

This is good lol

 

Pretty sure that was her way of protesting the mask

 

Which passed enabling legislation like Defense Production Act of 1950.

We need the federal government to step up in this emergency. Do we need fifty stockpiles of masks to make sure each state is prepared to snuff out an outbreak? Or should we have a federal stockpile we rush to a state with a problem?

If we want to stop SARS-CoV-2, we need something n100 respirators with HEPA filters...

 

Okay, in a good debate class you have to argue the other side, so I am taking your side; now see how easy those two questions are to answer:

ORANGE MAN IS SO INCOMPETENT WE NEED 50 STATE STOCKPILES, BECAUSE ORANGE MAN CAN HAPPEN AGAIN.

That was real easy.
