Psychology, conflicting rules, misinformation and anxiety fueling bad behavior and violence, experts say
As a culture war rages across the nation over whether to wear protective masks, closer to home the battle is spilling over into store aisles and shopping center parking lots with alarming frequency — and at times violent consequences.
Los Angeles police this week announced the arrest of two brothers who allegedly assaulted store employees and a security guard who attempted to escort them from a Target in Van Nuys for refusing to wear masks. ...

“All the anti-mask hoopla is playing directly into the hands of the Chinese commies. “
i had no idea that was true! I always thought having a strong military and a strong President would keep them away. That and re-repatriating out manufacturing jobs, particularly the ones that manufacture strategic goods like medicines and medical supplies would be the way to go.
Still, I suppose that if wearing masks keeps the chinese commies away that it might be worth it. Do you know how long we have to do that to keep them away? Is it something we have to do forever until the ChiComs collapse, or will they get the message after a certain period of time and we can stop wearings masks to keep them away?
I read that as man-shaming at first.
I am heading to the capital tomorrow to protest governor Whit-less.
Two weeks so as not to overwhelm the hospital system. Reasonable.
Maybe not smart but fairly reasonable. What has happened since then is pure insanity.
So maybe I should get a kefiya. It at least lets you breath.
Yeah, I feel real guilty. /false guilt mode off
Not true. A double layer of cotton sheet stops 96% of particles in the 6 micron (respirable) range.
...which show it was that Fauci made this admission?...

again the virus is much less than 6 microns. the masks do not fit well and quickly become saturated with exhaled moisture. They are no protection and in his case more harmful than most
Are you in Dacula? Ol Hwy 29, remember it well, lol. I’m in Forsyth co, no problems here, but I’ve been told I give off a “leave me the eff alone” vibe. Been practicing social distancing since before it was cool.
The probability of a bare-naked viral particle is virtually nil. Viral particles are transmitted in salivary and liquid microdrops in coughed, sneezed, or exhaled breath. As an MD, you ought to know that.
For how long? How often does it need to be cleaned/disinfected? Does touching the outside of it with your hands affect it’s effectiveness?
If I’m not coughing and/or sneezing and observing safe distancing, there’s no way a virus is going to jump out of my nose and fly across six feet to someone I’m passing for 3 seconds
You want to open the economy and stifle the Chinese?? The best way to do in the absence of a vaccine is good mask discipline. Simple, cheap, and effective. And preventing that action is one of the best memes the Chinks can sell the American public.
Dacula, just north of Hog Mountain.
My son and I do not like public appearances, except when we volunteer at a local facility.
I have no problem telling people to get out of my business and I have the respect from the store managers to back us up.
We are next to the Hamilton Millers and they hide in their enclaves.
This virus is billed as being airborne not droplet I do know the difference. As an MD I am quite aware of what masks do and don’t do. The masks people are wearing in grocery stores do little to prevent the spread of disease and may even be worse than nothing for a variety of reasons. Wear one if you want but don’t expect others to
Well, then, if you touch it, and then touch something else, you’ve just transmitted a concentrated gob of virii with a protective coating.

ROTFLOL!
you’re really funny! you almost sound serious!
“..again the virus is much less than 6 microns. the masks do not fit well and quickly become saturated with exhaled moisture. They are no protection and in his case more harmful than most”
And again....not true.

People can wear them. People can not wear them. Don’t care either way.
People need to make the best decision for themselves based on their circumstances.
With that said, let’s get back to work.
