Oh, BTW, Even a Military-Enforced Quarantine Can’t Stop the Virus, Study Reveals But a piece of cloth - any kind of cloth - or even paper on your face will stop it. |

So keeping people away from each other doesn’t slow the spread of an infectious disease.....is that what your going with? Weird how when they did it here, we were down to one active case in the whole province. Oct-Nov new cases were 500 + a day.....yesterday was 44 |

Is the Mayo Clinic good enough. You’ll tell me why they aren’t I’m sure
In part........ Can face masks help slow the spread of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19? Yes, face masks combined with other preventive measures, such as frequent hand-washing and social distancing, help slow the spread of the virus. So why weren't face masks recommended at the start of the pandemic? At that time, experts didn't know the extent to which people with COVID-19 could spread the virus before symptoms appeared. Nor was it known that some people have COVID-19 but don't have any symptoms. Both groups can unknowingly spread the virus to others. These discoveries led public health groups to do an about-face on face masks. The World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now include face masks in their recommendations for slowing the spread of the virus. The CDC recommends cloth face masks for the public and not the surgical and N95 masks needed by health care providers. |

And Steve.....Might I remind you you pasted some diatribe from an anesthesiologist and an OBGYN to help with your take on things but you require board certification and peer reviews when someone defends their thoughts.

I guarantee you he won't pull that shit again, others saw it, and they won't put up with it either. Anyway, you're missing the point. Go back and read my post describing the interaction. It's cut and dry. Try getting somebody to 'splain it to you if you still miss the point.

It's becoming quite clear that the "experts" (quotes used for a reason) want mask mandates for at least this year, and perhaps well into the future, if not forever. Are you okay with that? I'm not. |

Take that attitude and throw it into population density of the two places you mentioned and there will be issues. Lockdowns in California happened when the numbers were not manageable. Almost everything was open as numbers skyrocketed but I’m sure you’re aware of that. |

I ain’t no scientist or even that smart but I think the people trying to make us safe again are 1) flying by the seat of their pants, 2) doing the best they can with what they got, 3) adjusting on the fly as they discover anomalies, 4) have everyone’s best interest at heart, and 5) will figure it out eventually.
How come nobody bitches about finding a cure for cancer, or AIDS, or the common cold? How long did it take to figure out polio, or measles, or whatever. Are you smarter than a fifth grader? https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.pre...m/amp/70860420 |

Also, this mask wearing idea is often supported by the idea that wearing pants prevents me from pissing on other people, as well as prevents other people from pissing on me. I'm pretty sure that if I wanted to piss on someone, I could easily accomplish that with my pants firmly in place, and that any other man could piss on me without removing his pants. The above is pretty much the "state of the art" of mask wearing arguments. Quote:
The reality is a cloth mask doesn't do shit. Staying 6 feet away from other people doesn't do shit. Washing your hands frequently helps a little. But for many centuries now, the most important thing to do to minimize the spread of flus and other viruses has not changed, and it still hasn't changed due to COVID: if you are sick , stay home. |

If the state you are in has a mask mandate like ours then it is not out of line to have a sign on the door saying you need a mask to enter or that a manager or employee of the store say something to someone that is not wearing one...unless of course you have a medical condition that dictates you can not wear one.Personally I think it's easier to wear the mask,get your few things and leave in peace. If having that kind of confrontation is something that makes you feel good.... then by all means.....do it. |

I'm prepping to begin thinking about starting to install a generator. It says all those things listed TOGETHER "help" to slow the spread. They don't slow the spread, but they help to slow the spread. These are purposely chosen words that at a glance and without a lot of thought, say one thing, but under scrutiny, say nothing. I'm not helping you pay a ticket, but I'm helping you to help pay a ticket...by driving you to the courthouse...which does NOT pay the ticket at all. |
