The mask is essentially useless: The mask is not an adequate defense against the COVID-19 virus... The virus checks in at somewhere between 0.06 and 0.14 microns, meaning it’s too small for any commercially available mask to effectively filter it out. The pores on an N95 mask, which are the best masks you’re reasonably going to find, and the vast, vast majority of you are not going to have N95 masks but rather cloth masks, which perform far less well, are 0.3 microns

Staten Island a mob of “karens” forced a woman from a store for not wearing a mask and they were not at all polite about it; they were vicious. This is all the end result of the wholly unnecessary lockdown of the American economy which was based on fallacious “science” from the outset. It is the distillation of the cultural divide. We are a nation split between the fearful, those easily frightened by anything they read in the mainstream media, and the not-by-nature fearful who are justifiably suspicious of the nonsense spewed forth by the mainstream media

a carefully-constructed hoax, a treasonous attempt to overthrow a duly elected President in order to cover up their many crimes .

Heroes of the left, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx have been wrong, wrong, wrong. Long ago the great Thomas Sowell wrote that “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”
The lockdown was never needed. The hospitals were never overrun, the mortality rate has been a fraction of what the “scientists” predicted. The “data” has all been corrupted.

two types of people .. “karens” and “sharons.”

I’m done wearing a mask for corona. I will only wear a mask again for sanding and grinding.
If there really was a medical crisis ( 2.2 million dead Americans & 500,000 dead in the UK as modeled by the *experts* like ( lying & cheating ) Ferguson at the Imperial college ) ... but there is not a medical crisis overwhelming hospitals - the original excuse. Now the corrupt politicians are moving the goal posts for their political agenda to try to impeach President Trump, again.
Various field hospitals had capacity to treat 14,817 coronavirus patients across the US.- treated only 1,177 patients.. like the NYC virtually empty 2,500-bed Javits Center..
Not a good time to have allergies....a cough or sneeze might send half the room diving for cover!
Do those black folks smiling next to him know he hates them?
Virtue signaling is especially shameful when the right does it. We don't need these condescending twerps on our side.
Any thoughtful Karen, who is discharging "[c]oughing sneezing lickspittle saliva stews" your ass better stay home until you are well ... wouldn't you agree? Cheers!
Thanks to glennaro for shredding the Karen B$ re masks.
Dear Ms. McCarthy, you are absolutely wrong. A surgical mask when worn with a personal ion generator provides well over 90% protection for the wearer. This is how I have avoided getting the regular flu and colds for the past years without getting the flu shot. I discovered that the flu shots caused my cancer to relapse. This was a discovery can’t be totally unique to me and all these purported expert oncologists around the country should have noted it in their patients long, long ago.

You’re right. The extra 1000 is projected. I.e. worse than we already have. It makes no sense to me, but the projections are there, and our new case count has been pretty bad, comparatively.
Could all be bullshit, but I don’t know.
Sharon is a biblical name. It means a plain land that is fruitful. People who have the name Sharon are simple, loving, silly people. Sharon does not argue blindly.
I knew that was coming :)

Probably their old DNA saying, “Master please be good to me!”
If I am going to be in a place just a very few minutes, I wear a mask. The blasted thing fogs my glasses and rides up so it doesn't do its' job after a few minutes.
For longer periods of time, I use my Skidoo BV2S snowmobile helmet that has an adjustable air box and valves. I add a cut down mask taped over the air outlet to catch anything the air box and labyrinth doesn't.
When I am sufficiently away from other people, it is quick and easy to pop up the face shield and down the air box section, quick to put back if someone approaches.
For longer times, I used a supplied air Klim SUT helmet, RaceAir filter/blower and a battery pack. The filter/blower and battery mounted on a WWII backpack frame.
Yesterday I used the last setup for mixing bagged concrete, worked great. Have also used it for removing horsehair plaster and rock wool insulation.
Will us it at ARA events that are either dusty or muddy when it's dusty, where I do ham radio communications and vehicle extractions.
While the masks when properly worn and disposed of aren't 100% perfect, they do help.
They greatly reduce the droplets spread while talking, breathing hard, etc. You would be surprised just how much we expel under normal circumstances, not counting coughing and sneezing.
One of the worst things about this virus is that you can spread it without knowing you have it, so best to reduce the chance.
No, I didn’t. But, this virus does appear to be far more contagious than the regular flu - though the death rate may come out to be comparable.
The answer to “why not?” I guess it’s because I always think of germs as being more from touching things, and I usually keep my hands pretty clean.
That wasn’t personal. I hope you took it the right way. I was being a Karen by calling you a Karen. See we are all Karens when we express ourselves.
In the end, it is the face mask that is the clearest symbol of America’s divide
The face mask is today’s symbol of subservience. To be further know as “The SOS”.
It’s explained in the article: “Jon Gabriel (a writer in Arizona) described two types of people who have been revealed since the virus came to visit, “karens” and “sharons.” That would be the ones who virtue-signal by shaming anyone not wearing a mask and those who live and let live. “
The Gabriel article is worth reading - you can get to it if you Open the article above.
We MUST NEVER shut down the economy ever again!!
