It’s just the flu, bro.

So we have curfews in California and other US jurisdictions. We have lockdown insanity in Scotland with all gyms shutdown and massive restrictions on movement. Scotland is a dump of a place...the desire for actual freedom which was seen in Braveheart has been totally gone for at least 100 years.

In contrast to the above we have Desantis in Florida. He says no new lockdowns. He is a true leader. When a politician goes against the grain to do the right thing then that politician has earned a massive amount of goodwill that will not soon be forgotten.

I have been reading about “aerosols” or “aerosolization” of mucus particles containing Coronavirus. Perhaps in some cases the virus spreads faster because maybe masks create these smaller particles and they travel farther. I don’t really know what I am talking about but if anyone thinks that this line of reasoning can give masks a bad name then please elaborate.

In Pennsylvania masks are mandated even when in your own home.

Pfizer just a few minutes ago announced vaccine 95% effective. Good in elderly. Seeking emergency use authorization ASAP.

To: impimp; who knows what evil?

I posted on another thread:

I had a checkup with my ortho surgeon yesterday. Just before I left, the nurse gave me documentation on how to log in to their telehealth app. She said the buzz is that they/we will be going in to lockdown — maybe soon. I don’t know if she meant all of TN, or just Knoxville, or the county.

She noticed my cross necklace and I guess she figured it was safe to talk. She went on a rant about how this current chaos is just more of the same old hoax, how masks are only for control because by the RATs, that she’s sickened that Christians and patriots are buying it, etc.

Please indulge my brief rant from last night. Many thanks!

This new round of panic and control over the Communist Chinese virus has turned into a competition among tyrants: Who can hurt the American citizens of their respective states the most.

For many reasons what is going on is absolutely ridiculous -- not the least of which is that every restriction, command, diktat and mandate being issued the week before Thanksgiving Day is not "new"; they have been tried before and most have been in effect for at least the past half year -- and these things simply don't work! Masking, staying two yards apart from every other living soul, shutting down private businesses, closing schools and playgrounds, severely restricting church services (and if you do get in, you're not "allowed" to worship with hymns of praise), eliminating most entertainment, quarantining of healthy people ... none of these drastic, clearly unConstitutional mandates have done a G-D thing to stop or even slow down the respiratory virus which continues to act -- well -- like a normal flu virus (except it's nowhere near as deadly as most flus!)

This simply must stop. Now! The accumulation of power by a few politicians and bureaucrats who see the virus as an "opportunity" is just not compatible with the existence of our Constitutional Republic.

What American "men" and women are doing to their children -- and to themselves -- is disgraceful at best -- criminal at worst ... even fatal if you get right down to it!

It's about damn time we say "Enough!"

-- We MUST say "Enough of your sh!t!" to the governors, mayors, county councilmen and other lower level politicians.
-- We MUST say "Enough of your fear-mongering!" to the plethora of unelected bureaucrats such as "public health officials".
-- We MUST say "Enough of your damn lies!" to all those "experts" who have been wrong so often and who have bastardized science into nothing more than opinion. As to this virus, "Science" has devolved into "Political Science".

These self-absorbed asses are killing our Republic by destroying our economic system, by dissolving our social systems and by crushing the human spirit of American citizens, most tragically, American children who have literally lost a year of growth in their young lives. What a shameful way for adults to behave: deliberately allowing -- yes, allowing that to happen ... to allow other people entrusted with political power to do this to us, to our children and to our country.

What the G-D hell is wrong with us?! Why are we allowing power-obsessed politicians, ego-maniacal bureaucrats and unwise, failed "experts" to do this to us?! Are we so fearful of a respiratory virus with a survival rate of over 99 percent, and are we so subservient to everyday politicians and bureaucrats that we willingly give up our livelihoods, that we physically and psychologically harm ourselves and hurt our children and that we purposefully have replaced rational thought and reasoning with pure emotion just because politicians, bureaucrats and experts commanded that we do so? You'd have to be insane to think this is "the right thing to do" for God's sake.

It's time for American "men" to re-grow a pair, for American women to re-take control of their family's well-being, and for all of us to scream loudly, persistently and courageously to the assholes who have come to believe -- have led themselves, not without good reason, to believe -- that they control our very lives ... and we must do this until they get the message that their tyranny is over ... it's OVER!

Please set aside your emotions, fear, politics -- whatever -- for just a few precious moments at this normally joyous time of the year and realize this tyranny not going to end without a mass, hopefully peaceful (at least at this point) uprising. You must understand this is not going to happen out of the goodness of our "leaders' hearts" or without your active involvement. History and human nature being what it is, you must understand that politicians and bureaucrats are not going to give up their vast new, self-anointed powers, and "experts" are not about to give up their new-found celebrity without a fight. No sirree they're not! But realize the odds are in our favor. I calculate, conservatively, we outnumber the tyrants and experts by, oh, say well over a million to one. Decent odds ... but the numbers and the odds mean nothing without positive action.

I don’t really know what I am talking about but if anyone thinks that this line of reasoning can give masks a bad name then please elaborate.

Actually, I think there is a small tweak in your idea.

While I think the mask can assist in the "aerosolization" of the virus, I think the mask will also slow down the cloud and concentrate the cloud.

Remember the discussion on viral load? We are all breathing in the virus all the time. It is only when we get a big enough clump of it that our immune system can't handle it that we get sick.

Picture clouds of smoke from an old time steam engine. Nice clumps of smoke. Picture the same coming out of a mask. And then picture yourself walking through these undissipated clouds of aerosolized particles, all the better the slip through your mask and deep into your lungs (instead of stick in your nose hairs - nature's mask.

And thus increasing your viral load with the type of particles that lodge in the most dangerous (for you) places. Deep in the lungs.

Anyways, that's my thinking on the topic of masking.
