It’s been almost a year since I’ve worn a mask, how about you?

    another "the virus is too small" post.

    single dry virus (measured in micrins) is seldom seen in the atmosphere and would be sipressed by most healthy immune systems.

    multiple virus, carried by droplets of mucus and fluid are expelled from the nose in cough and breath.

    ask a doctor about this next time you are doing your own research.

    ~ Regardless of how a virus is spread/travels alone or on droplets the masks WE are using are worthless. Studies as far back as the mid 1960s showed no reduction in cold/flu in elementary school children wearing surgeon's masks. CDC did a similar study a few years ago with the same results. Perhaps they reduce the viral load if people are coughing and sneezing - but even that is unlikely.

    Want to see what I wear? Try trucking that lot for 8 hours a day. You guys complaining about a basic surgical mask are having a laugh.

    Almost every day when I go to the Supermarket. Not a big deal. I don't feel repressed and if I take it off or forget it I don't get arrested.

    oh.....the "people like me" game! No I blame people like Fauci for creating the damn virus and people like Brandon for "never letting a crisis go to waste" he's got a bunch of monkeys on a string wearing masks while driving. It's just a drill for more government control to come!

    Yup. If you keep making claims that involve it, it will keep coming back to haunt you.

    I assume you mean "microns". The size of viruses, while able to be expressed in microns, are actually better expressed in nanometers (a thousandth of a micron). Yes, viruses are THAT small.

    They are all over the place (in the air and on surfaces).

    This is true. This is why the fear mongering over COVID is stupid, acting as if "we have no defense against it and must wear a mask and must get a vaccine"... We have immune systems for a reason.

    Viruses are not always contained inside of a droplet, or are even forever-bound to a droplet. Do you know how fast droplets of such a small size evaporate in the air?? That's right, almost instantaneously.

    Many doctors are indoctrinated morons who spout the propaganda that they've been fed by Marxist indoctrination centers and government entities.

    I just watched 2 hours last night of the hearings held by the very brave and patriotic Senator from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson. I am reminded of another brave Senator from Wisconsin, Russ Feingold, the only senator brave enough to vote against the obscene and illegitimate patriot act all those years ago.

    The question of asymptomatic infection came up, as Senator Johnson claimed he had been asymptomatic but had tested positive. I wanted to raise my hand and point out that even the CDC eventually had to admit that the PCR test as used generated upwards of 90% false positives, but I couldn't do that just watching TV. :lol:

    Johnson is one of the good guys in Congress, and he has done his countrymen a great service by allowing the censored scientists and doctors to appear before the Senate. :thumbsup:

    If someone is asymptomatic then that is not a false positive

    If the test says you're infected when you're not infected, that's a false positive. If the test says you're not infected when you actually are infected, that's a false negative. Testing 101

    For other medical purposes, I've received false positives twice. Further testing, more accurate testing, showed I did not have the condition the first test said I had.

    Or .... they actually see what C19 can do, and how many it can do it to.

    "He doesn't have symptoms, so he must be negative". That's literally just deciding positives aren't real, for reasons that are entirely personal.

    Yes, a bizarre thing to assume .. and an indicator of just how much nonsense is accepted just to avoid having to deal with the reality.

    As a Wisconsinite, I am definitely very proud to call Ron Johnson my Senator, and will definitely be wholeheartedly supporting his re-election bid this year. Hopefully we can get a handle on our election fraud issues or at least have a bunch of eyes on it to deter it as much as possible. Ron Johnson is doing this country a huge service with regard to these hearings.

    Very true. While I am overall not a fan of Russ Feingold (and voted for Ron Johnson to replace him), I do commend Russ for his hard-line stance against the Patriot Act. He definitely deserves credit where credit is due, and Russ does still look quite good in comparison to the likes of Tammy Baldwin (our other Senator). Holy crap is she awful. She's not up until 2024 though...

    Indeed! I'll do my best to keep him in office :)

    So there's no one who is asymptomatic who experiences a false positive (is not sick)? Hell, you're also trying to tell me that there's no one who is not sick, as asymptomatic apparently means sick to you... I guess we are all sick... interesting...

    I and a whole slew of people across this country are currently "asymptomatic" (iow, are currently NOT sick). If people have to take a test in order to figure out that they "are sick", then they ARE. NOT. SICK.

    "Asymptomatic" is just a word that's been hijacked by leftists to fear monger, to pretend that people who aren't sick are actually sick, and to provide an excuse for politicians to not have to face the wrath of their constituents, such as what Justin Trudeau is currently pulling in order to avoid the trucker convoy that's headed his way.

    I see that C19 can typically cause minor cold/flu symptoms in most people, and that it can do that to anyone. Meh.

    That's not what Eleuthera said. Please read the post again.

    The post was about correctly detecting infection; it said nothing about the presence of symptoms.

    Repeating lies doesn't make them true. By saying that, you are quite literally claiming that EVERYONE is infected (as you have now defined everyone as infected).

    Asymptomatic is a word that leftists have hijacked to fear monger and etc... Such people are otherwise described as being HEALTHY. It is the noticing of symptoms that leads a person to wonder what is ailing them.

    ~ If that were actually true Dr Fauci would not be where he is and Covid19 prophylactic therapeutics would be in wide use. U.S. Doctors today practice more politics than medicine . It is just as much an industry as a profession.
    Many people are now dead due to medical political protocol . China is off the hook as far as responsibility.
