Dude, if you're right, I'm going to start working on a patent for a toe mask! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

While I don't like the idea of being forced to wear masks, I've changed my viewpoint on masks.

If it will help slow this down and more importantly prevent another shutdown, I'm all for wearing masks of some type.

I'm thinking of a type of toe condom myself, you know, one size fits all kinda deal.

There is no evidence that any particle mask, N95 or any other particle mask, surgical or any other contrived mask or face covering will prevent
anyone from breathing in or breathing out the virus. It is just that small. The microscopic virus passes right through. Stopping or slowing the
virus spread is not the intention for mask requirements or recommendations. Why are we supposed to wear them? F E A R

I like the way she thinks.

Do not want to get into a mask/no mask debate but something I have never seen anyone explain is why doctors and nurses wear mask if they do nothing.

Would you want blood, guts, or anything else thicker than molecules hitting you in the face? I'm sure it's also a liability issue with hospital insurance. Dentists wear masks too. Also, the hospital is the worst place to be when you're sick, folks will say. More infections from a hospital than in your normal environment, so their sterilization methods aren't exactly proven.

All the masks do is prevent a sneeze or cough from spreading as far. Washing hands is better.

Washing hands is not going to do anything about the stuff you inhaled from the other person's sneeze.

If you mask and the sneezer mask it is better. That's why toilet paper is scarce. You shit your pants when they sneeze.

No expert here for sure but as I understand the mask keeps what you are exhaling confined. No different than covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Nothing more, nothing less and is a precaution not a cure.

The speed limit is a precaution too, and I see a lot of people abide by that.

TP is still scarce? Yikes

Best response to that idiot Wolken:



'Sides, how does Wolken think the UA SGA would function without the machine.

No doubt but as you know there is the autobahn that has no speed limit. We can't even agree on which of those is the best model or the speed limits when there is a speed limit.
