except fear and isolation. you refuse to admit the human cost of lockdown. Have a nice weekend
Ummmm... you may want to check up on that. It's absolutely false.
I will fortunately count myself as one who knows how to properly don and doff a mask, attributable to working around and getting training from good Nurses much of the past 25 years.
Once the mask is on, I never adjust or otherwise touch the front or sides. I may adjust using ear loops.
If you come across detailed info about exhaled moisture and mask effectiveness, I would appreciate you passing along.
A good article on the subject:
"Effectiveness of N95 respirators versus surgical masks in protecting health care workers from acute respiratory infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis"
- see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4868605/
I'm supportive of people wearing or not wearing masks if they make the decision based on good science, and a risk assessment of their individual situation.
Cite a stay at home directive that prohibits people from seeking medical treatment.
I’m working and unaffected (by the grace of God). I want the lockdowns lifted yesterday.
Five years huh?
Hey, why don't we all stay at home forever and let the government pay everyone’s mortgages for a 100 years?
Why stick at a mere 5 years?
Chuckle!
Therefore, the states had no choice but to presume everybody “guilty” of having the virus and quarantine them to their homes. Doing so has undoubtedly saved many lives.
Note that people in some of the communities recently tested had developed SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, presumably through safe doses of community spread exposure to the virus, these people probably not aware that they had developed immunity to it in my non-medical opinion.
People need to be tested for antibodies before they get vaccinated so scientists can get the best data how the virus spreads to help avoid another pandemic / quarantine imo.

Corrections, insights welcome.
I’m optimistic about recovery not only because we learn from our mistakes, but PDJT has the uncommon common sense to deal with these things.
In fact, PDJT has already expressed that he looks forward to rebuilding FDA, CDC, medical support and drug manufacturing in US like he rebuilt the military.
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping COVID-19 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
Government workers are not losing their jobs so they vote to keep the private sector on lockdown.
Did they ask anyone here this question on their “poll”? I think they just make all this s##t up. I’ve never been “polled” for anything in my life and I’m almost 70.
Makes sense since at least 49% pay ZERO taxes and thus get Federal stimulus payments.
the. you are a rare individual. N95s are not the issue and no one should be wearing them at the store we need them in hospitals. The N95s i have seen on people in the store have not been properly fit or worn. If it makes people feel better to wear them OK but that’s all it does.
Suppose half of people use the masks badly.
That is a lot better than zero percent wearing no masks.
The perfect is the enemy of the good—this is not complicated.
So such persons are not allowed to leave their homes for medical treatment?
We all understand that EMS has sometimes not been available, but have seen no rules that prohibits a person from leaving their home to seek emergency medical treatment.
If it makes you feel better wear one Don’t force others to
Agreed - no N95.
When ever the media begins to feel it is loosing its grip on the narrative, out pop the polls to tell us what to think.
In a free society, if 60% feared coming out in public, 60% could just stay home.
In a totalitarian society all it takes is a few fearful leaders for the guns to come out and new laws to be decreed for all.
Wisdom is not common, so a polls results are always unwise.
If 60% of the people want to stay-at-home,
THEN, STAY AT HOME...AND LEAVE ME THE HE!! ALONE.
First of all, I don’t believe this for a minute. But, if that is what all those people want, they probably are not essential, the 40% are probably the people who REALLY WORK, so stay home, wear your mask and let the rest of us maskless people FREE.
This smells of the “Wilder Effect.” When Doug Wilder, a Black man, was running for Governor of Virginia the first time the polls said he would win with a small but solid margin. He lost. The explanation was that respondents would not tell the truth because they did not want to be seen as unwilling to vote for a Black man. All polls save for one (maybe 5 or 6) taken before referendums on Gay rights showed they would pass. All except one lost. The “Wilder Effect,” was the explanation. People are still hesitant to tell pollsters they support opening state economies because they that means supporting Trump and it also opens them to criticism as “money over lives” people.This survey means nothing.
Having suffered from allergies for most of my life I eventually trained myself pretty well to keep my hands away from my face. Especially when I am out. Then my first action when getting home has been for a long time to wash hands thoroughly. In 2019 I got the flu for the first time in decades. Ironically, this one episode escalated into pneumonia and damn near killed me.
Someone on FR posted a piece which claimed the mask is more effective for Asians because they have a slightly different shaped nose bridge & the mask fits better. Either way, I am skeptical of the benefits of mask use for the general public in basic activities.
