I have yet to wear a mask
I have yet to wear a mask
If you aren't sick or exposed,
Considering I live in a rural area,
These are a scam and filtration for the user isn’t the intended goal of wearing masks. There are plenty of instructions on how to sew up a mask with an old piece of clothing but if you can keep your distance, that’ll work....why should I spend $25 for a paper filter that costs the store 10 cents?
...
I tell people that "under this mask, I look just like Brad Pitt."
Ok...not really. I said this to a cashier only one time because I quickly realized that with the mask, there are no visual cues that you're making a joke. It wasn't the first time I'd bombed with a joke.
Those numbers for Coronavirus include a lot of people past retirement age.37,000 people die in the US each year from car accidents. In just four months, 131,000 have died from coronavirus. Those numbers are significantly different, and we still have another 8 months to go.
Where I live they just passed a mandatory mask law. Considering how many hours of OSHA training I've had to understand the correct application for the multitude of classifications for respirators, dusts makes etc I dont buy into the notion of cloth masks. Unfortunately a by product of this pandemic is fear is now a virtue and any critical thinking or questioning is a social faux pas. They keep changing their stance on how this spreads. The CDC just adjusted their numbers down significantly. From what I read the tests numbers are skewed do to how their added up, that HIPAA privacy laws prevent the spread of personal data so all tests are counted as new cases even if they are in fact the same person. If you test positive you have take 2 additional tests before you can go back to work thus producing a minimum of 3 additional test numbers to eskew the total numbers. I dont deny the presence of the virus nor do I want to spread it negligently but things dont add it. Most of the people I know who have been tested are positive for anti-bodies meaning they were asymptomatic.
