CDC Study Finds Overwhelming Majority Of People Getting Coronavirus Wore Masks

[roamer_1]

Men like to joke about their "private" parts.  The reason they do this ( remember I studied human behavior all my adult life and have professional "words" to use when I make a diagnosis): Men like to joke about their "private" parts because:

THEY DID NOT PASS POTTY TRAINING.

(Drop by anytime for another diagnosis.)

I find it odd that everyone on the planet thinks farts are funny... Except women over 30.

@roamer_1

How many women over 30 have you asked about farts? (I see another diagnosis about to happen.) 

[XenaLee]

I can't disagree, but I also can't unring a bell.  It was supposed to be 2 weeks to flatten the curve and this has morphed into until we have zero infections.

It's bullshit.  What concerns me is too few Americans --- and Europeans ---- realize this.

That's because the radical left always loves to move the goalposts in their favor.   In this case it morphed into "until we win the election".

That's fair.

The old 'unintended consequences' trick... And why dickin with liberty is always a bad idea.

Asked? Some... But mine is more of an experiential observation. And in that: Everyone I have ever known.

Help with what? @libertybele  It's a damn virus.  We either build herd immunity or we live this way for the rest of our lives.

We've a much better understanding of how the virus works, have developed new therapeutics to treat the disease (Exhibit A:  The viral load was erased in three days in a 74 year old man) and vaccines are nearly ready for distribution (yes, to those who want them).  The Trump administration has just made a deal for distribution of the vaccine to seniors through CVS and Walgreens.

My point is:  The most vulnerable may need to exercise some caution .... as they do during the seasonal flu season .... but everyone else needs to drop the fear and fully live again.   

I would add that the most vulnerable can get back to a normal life the sooner the rest of us develop herd immunity. Herd immunity is going to happen one way or another. Sooner is better than later. The only attempts to slow it down should have been based on keeping the local healthcare resources from being overloaded. And that should have been done on a local level, not a one size fits all policy.

Hey, A fart gets through either one!

And fart particles are many times bigger than a virus.
Mask Test: Put on your mask and hold a match or a candle in front of you. Blow it out.
The mask does nothing for a virus. It will prevent spittle particles which is what it is design to do, but does nothing for a virus.
Asian countries have been wearing masks for years for pollution, and yet they all caught COVID with their masks on.
If masks worked, most Asian countries would have had zero cases.

So many people think of a mask as a 'magic talisman'. As long as I have my mask on, nothing can hurt me.

Far-Left websites are cult-like about masks.
They have guys wearing masks on Video calls, alone in their home or alone in a car, in the mountains, and while surfing in the ocean.
That is not about practical safety. That is a cult. That is not about a virus. It is about authoritarian population control.
First the mask was to "slow the spread". Then it was to "show you care". Then it became a 'cause', like wearing a 'live strong' bracelet.
Now, according to the far-Left, if you do not wear a mask 24hrs a day, you are a murderer. Now it is mandatory.

Today, not wearing a mask is the same as wearing a MAGA hat. It means that you do not submit to government fear and control.
That drives the Left insane. Once they make wearing the mask a law, then you are suddenly 'illegal'.
The mask gives the Left one more way to arrest, fine, and control you. If everything is illegal, then everyone is a criminal.
And that is just what authoritarian States strive for.

Wearing a mask is much more about a political statement than it is about science or medicine.

I can agree with almost all of that, except the part about "fart particles."  Farts are gaseous molecules, like Methane.

Nope.  No one's taking swipes at another member and every once in awhile we have a little fun in this forum (much needed in this political climate).

Out of respect to this forum however ... back on topic.

IMHO the CDC cannot be trusted and they tend to change their minds on COVID when it's advantageous for them.

I have no doubt that a simple cloth or disposable mask doesn't do a whole lot of good if not everyone complies.

As someone pointed out:

#1  Wash your hands OFTEN
#2  Don't touch your face
#3  Distance yourself from those not wearing masks

I'd add; boost your immune system with probiotics, vitamins and zinc.

Ok, but.... you didn't really think I was being "serious" here, did you?  lol

[240B]

There is nothing off-topic about the discussion.
If a fart can go through sturdy cotton underwear and thick denim jeans and still come about robust and intact, then how is a double sheet of cotton paper over my mouth supposed to 'protect' me from anything microscopic?

Those masks that everyone is wearing are intended to prevent spittle and gross material from the mouth. They are not now, and never have been, designed to prevent an airborne virus. It is all nonsense. And even if you had a 'real' mask to prevent a virus, you would be required to change it out to a new one every few hours. That is how 'real' professional virologists work.

A mask is not a 'magic talisman' from the Gods. It does not keep you safe from anything other than being spit on. And even that depends on the IQ of the person wearing it. If they pull it off whenever they speak, cough, or sneeze, then nothing, nothing whatsoever, is accomplished. It is all nonsense. It is a 'population control' political tactic. But it has no basis in science or medicine.

I consider my mask, like DUMBO'S FEATHER.  I don't really wear the mask.  I put it under my chin, so my mouth and nose can get oxygen.  As long as people, see, a mask they are happy.  Otherwise, most are upset.  A few control freak MALES,  will tell me to pull my mask over my face.  I walk away.  I didn't wear one, because my oxygen runs low, and confirmed in hospital stay in JULY 2020, that I need oxygen.  So, to keep others happy, I put in under my chin.  PEOPLE  ARE NUTS.

I went to dentist for cleaning.  A woman sat next to me in a black mask. We talked about mask wearing. SHE WAS A LEFT.
I talked some more about, me thinking , I had covid twice. Early in FEB, & last week in March.  We are in October.  She actually leaned away from me a bit!  I wanted to slap her.  People used to think cancer was contagious too.  She was about 80, or just looked it. Like she is going to live forever?  She can AVOID a microscopic virus? 

[240B]

Hindsight: Trump should have issued a national 'mask mandate' in March.
The Democrats would have gone insane AGAINST it, and we wouldn't have the marching 'mask fascism' that we see today.
Fauci and the CDC want to keep this going for as long as possible because of funding, influence, and power.
The Democrats/Leftists are talking about masks and 'lockdowns' for the next five years, for the power and control.
COVID has a recovery rate of 99%. It is far from the 'deadly disease' that we are being force fed.
If you are two-steps away from death already and catch COVID, you will have a problem.
But for 99% of the population, it is nothing more than a cold.
We should shutdown the entire country to protect less than 1% of the people?
Seems a little extreme to me?

POTUS...never said mandate, or wanted one.  That was up to the people, who wanted to wear a mask. 

DEMON-RAT GOVERNORS....MANDATED A MASK.  Like in my state.  CONTROL FREAKS.  KARENS.

I wore one 8 hours/day, for 6 years.  I was much younger then, and it was a requirement for the clean room in which I worked.  Those cheap paper ones they push are actually called "spit-shields" because all they really do is catch saliva that spews out when you talk.  They filter nothing.

Well that's the whole point. Wearing the mask, whether on your chin or neck in most places is good enough. Because you have the 'yellow star'. Even if you wear it around your neck, just having it is enough to show that you are 'onboard with the program'. You are 'doing what you are told' by the government. You could wear it on your forehead for all they care. The fact that you are displaying the Fauci flag is good enough, no matter where you put it.

That is enough for most but not all Leftists.

I bought myself a face shield. Solely for the purpose of having something "New York legal" (thanks, Cuomo) but still leaving my face visible and being able to breathe. (I don't mind masks for short-term usage in settings I'm not usually around but don't like wearing them long-term.)

[jmyrlefuller]

I'll also note something else: a lot of the current spread is not being driven by public transmission. Even at the peak of the pandemic, New York recognized that 2/3 of infections came in the home... where no masks are worn, and the ability to regulate is next to none.
