To Mask or Not to Mask?

[NKBJ]

But does the public know why the bug was created and released, such that a basis for a decision is even available?
Looks to me as though what is generally is known is fear. Fear that has the potential for turning to anger but not much of a clue on where anger should be directed. Any how, it's just something I've thought about.

Answering the burning questions of the day

Thank you! Thank you! I'll be here all week

Are you implying that respiratory aerosols can be a single virus particle?

I've not seen that anywhere and repeatedly see references to respiratory aerosols of 1-5 um... at least an order of magnitude larger than the individual virus size you posted.

Something my father once explained to me, that he grew up playing in the dirt (real happy to have a coke bottle to pretend it was a car or truck). And that because of the norms during that day his immune system was much better developed than mine would be so take care of myself.

I think that is partially true; however, we got mumps, measles, rheumatic fever, chicken pox, staph infections, colds, pneumonia, whooping cough and, oh yeah, polio.

And yet, not once did they shut down the entire economy over (some of) those arguably more serious ailments.

Yeah. Why the government doesn't just give its best info on prevention and medical breakthroughs to the citizenry and let the businesses and individuals make their own informed decisions is baffling.

Because they are true believers in their own superiority over the citizens...

I suspect more people have been harmed or killed by the actions of those believing they are doing good, throughout history, for the people than by those with evil intentions...

I've not followed the thread....probably because the "no mask" is the clearest choice for me.

I've been asked by a few establishments to leave. Most have simply said nothing, finished the business they have with me, and moved on.

The entire reaction to this virus is politicization.....nothing less, nothing more.

Yeah. Sure. But did you get a “bank bug”?

Does Y2K count?

Do what you want... easy as that. Mask or not. But live with the choice you make and never blame anyone else for your choices is what I say....

Hard to argue with that reasoning.

A lot of summer activities were shut down for awhile. I was pretty young, so I don't remember everything...except being told not to go to the pond (fat chance...that's where the rope swing was). But, 60,000 kids got infected in 1952. That's equivalent to about 135,000 today. 5% died.

That was a nearly universal bug not just banks. Where I worked at the time had some vulnerabilities and were fixed.

 

[Alpo]

I don't know what that term means. Another bastardization of the English language?

You haven't been paying attention to NKBJ's posts about Coronavirus. That's his term for it.

Good for him/her/it

I'll pass.

I think we can all agree that shutting down the public swimming pools for 3 months wouldn't have had the economic impact of shutting down most of the economy for the better part of a year.

Clearly, you've only been using the "regular" Reynold's Wrap. "They" have gotten to you too. You have to switch to the Heavy Duty.
