Are You Wearing A Mask Yet?

[Ammoman]

In answer to the OP. Yes i wear a mask at work and where ever i am asked to wear one. Do i like it? No. Do i think they help slow the virus? Yes....Its one small part of a bigger picture in dealing with the spread. If they did not work, Doctors would not use them in the operating room.

You know, Drs wear them to keep contaminates from sneezing, drooling, coughing, etc from mixing with open surgeries.
Same with dentists and assistants.
Surgical masks do not stop viruses.

No one here says they do. They help prevent contaminates from sneezing, drooling, coughing, etc, that may contain the virus, from spreading. Precisely why Doctors, Dentists, etc. wear them. Everyone needs to keep their contaminates to theirself please, and wear the damn mask. Simple enough. What part of that do you not understand?

The virus travels from human to human via tiny water droplets. The virus is not air born on its own. The droplets are the carrier. The masks will stop a high percentage of this moisture from traveling outside the mask. Then the receiving party's mask will again filter the droplets out. It is not a perfect answer but it is a good answer to our situation. In the doctors situation they not only protect the patient but they also protect the doctor from the contaminates that may be spread from the patient. People travel from place to place by using something like an automobile. The virus hitches a ride on the water droplets in breath. By removing those droplets your taking the car way from the virus. What happens next? you do not have that elevated potential of receiving into your body the root cause of the viral sickness.

Hey there Ol’Kentuck,
That’s good, excep I’m not working over the top of someone that has their mouth wide open, or performing any surgeries.

Enjoy yourself, go further than 6’ from folk, take off your mask and take some long deep breaths.
Maybe go for a hike?

Stay safe

Thank you! Excellent Advice.

Been doing just that and highly recommend it to everyone. This country is a beautiful place, made more so by the beautiful Souls that inhabit it. Let's keep them ALL safe so everyone can enjoy it.

Was just visiting today, I'm leaning towards not visiting here every single day. Yes, I love Tnet, and I care about my many friends here - and as for TH? Met that dude and he's the most straight up person I've met in years - he is FOR REAL. I'm proud to say that. Ya think otherwise? Then you're in the wrong spot. He will protect you as a member regardless of how obscene your views are - as long as you do not attack others. Well, he might even let me attack you Maybe it is about time I earned my first banishing after pushing a decade as a member Ain't life great? And don't it kinda suck sometimes?

Glad to hear it, was beginning to think you must be a mortician.

Bow, That Is Good Information. Interestingly Johns Hopkins University and Medical School Is Not Opening to In Person Studies Due To Covid-19. Most Ivy League Universities Are Not Doing In Person til this virus is in a manageable state.

Thanks Bow

I will not wear a muzzle. Cause if the can get away with this what else can they? wear goggles so it can't enter your eyes and people would listen!

GB- Is your school mandating masks? Or Opening? I know you are in Texas and that's been a hotly contested topic there especially.

It's been county by county here or city by city here. Very Ununiform. I can walk across the street at some state line points and either Be mask or No mask mandates. lol!

I think that if folk are sick, they should stay home. If they have to go out, and they are full of snot, coughing, sneezing etc, then it is prudent to cover up. Do I think it should be mandatory? No, and the alternative is the whole snitching thing, making criminals out of sick folk, and all the bickering between otherwise nice people.

We were blind sided by a whole lot of scary information, from sources that are supposed to have our best interests in mind.
Things got crazy, more scary info 24/7.

Now that dust is settling some, we can see things better. Time to take a deep breath, without the mask, get some oxygen to our brains. I’m sure there is a better way to handle things, but we need oxygen so we can use our reason instead of fear.

Maybe then most of us can be friends again and work together.
Arguments and fighting over masks is . . . not my thing

Better decisions are made without so much stress.

Sincerely
Idahodutch
