You actually don’t know who is vulnerable. I suspect many here have no idea if they have the Alzheimer gene which MAY make you more susceptible...even before dementia actually sets in.

How many blacks here know if they have Gp6d issue which MAY cause you more problems with Covid 19.

There are definitely genetics at play. Too much is unknown.

STILL

And the biggest issue of all..besides death...is the unknown short term and long term problems.

I see a lot of Drs talking about what they are seeing.

So please please please dont pretend like you know who is susceptible. You know SOME of the people that are susceptible.

If you dont want to wear a mask - don’t.

But I can tell you that my neighbor and her family who are dealing with this sure wish they had taken more precautions.

She is in her 40s and no known prior health problems. She is not in the hospital..but is going through hell.
She will probably survive but I can tell you that she really wishes she wasnt going through it.

I do not know, but I am now on my fifth month of daily mask wearing. Every single day. Currently wearing one to teach. No problem, as far as I am concerned.

I haven't worn one yet. I don't feel so strongly about it that I'd give up an income to stand on principle. I'm not going to refuse at the point of a gun either.

There's no denying though that it's increasingly become symbolic, like Dr. Fauci said is the reason he wears one. To a larger extent each day, it's being viewed as symbolic of the statement "I love Big Brother".

Face masks appear to be the ultimate tool in Virtue Signalling.
No they will never completely go away and will divide us even further..

Anybody with half a brain realizes this mask thing is totally stupid - and is a 100% Democrat virtue signaling nonsense

Doubt me? Look at all the Karen’s driving around in their freaking vehicles with the mascon please explain that to me

Look at all the Karen’s on a hiking trail wearing a mask

Look at all the Karen’s who have the mask off and they see me coming up the hill on my bike and then they quickly put on their masks

First of all the only reason why you should ever wear a mask is because of pollution I wore a mask during the terrible fires here in 2017 and 2018 because the air quality was so freaking poor I didn’t want to destroy my lungs

When it comes to viruses masks are almost completely worthless unless you’re on a subway or in an airplane and even then it’s marginal at best

I’ve been telling everybody in my town upside down backwards and inside out just wear a bandanna and I noticed in all my favorite stores everybody’s followed my lead and it’s just wearing a bandanna bandanna does not restrict your breathing actually looks pretty cool makes you look like a cowboy and you can just leave it around your neck for the most part nobody gives a crap

And again this is only because the directors of our health departments are making us do this to walk into a store

So here’s my advice unsolicited just tie a bandanna around your neck in areas where you have to comply with the mask rule and don’t do anything else

Some of these will eventually be washed into the ocean via storm drains.

Oh No!

“Government” = anti-Christ ???

“I will wear a mask as long as the virus is circulating in my community.” ... “I don’t know how long that will be.”

Danny, Danny Danny. Honey, we know you will be a forever mask wearer. But it’s cute that you chimed in.

And one thing will lead to another. Next we’ll be required to wear our underwear on the outside so the under wear police can see if it’s clean or not.

Except that they “do” work. The “masks don’t work” is just a different meme in the anti-mask propaganda.

btw, here is one more thing people walk around with and have no idea.

Von Willebrand issue

I had never heard the term.

But now I recognize that I may have a mild issue with it given various things in my past.

I am going to get tested for it later even if insurance won’t pay for it. I think I saw a test for at least one indicator on Directlabs website.

And yes, if you ever listen to Mecram lectures on Covid 19 you will often hear the term Von Willebrand

Also going to get the Alzheimer gene test.

... (masks) in democrat big cities. I could care less what they do.”

I hope they do. I think all RATs and Karens should wear masks all the blessed time. Eventually, that crap collecting in their masks will kill ‘em — and I’m OK with that.

Nope. Canceled my doctors appointment for today because they told me it was mandatory that I wear one. Guess I’m looking for a new doctor!
