An ER doctor’s infuriating walk through Central Park


And everywhere he now looked in the sun-splashed heart of the COVID-19 epicenter, he saw throngs of people ignoring social distancing as they milled about and relaxed amidst the trees and lawns, many without masks. He took it as a deep insult.

“It’s a slap in the face,” Gilman said. “It really is. I can’t explain it any other way. It struck me as very selfish and not in touch with the reality.”
Gilman served as a Navy Corpsman in Iraq in 2004 and he considers the pandemic to be another, more deadly kind of war, in which more than 18,000 New Yorkers have died in eight weeks.

“That’s twice the American dead in Afghanistan and Iraq,” he said. “That’s insane, right? And people are suntanning and picnicking with wine and cheese in Central Park.”

IDIOT.  Why was he there?  I support all those people getting their VITAMIN  D which fights the virus. This doc is an azzhole.

Another control freak, probably demon-rat.  I make the decisions with my body.  Not the doctors. They can't stand it. lol

Why happened to:  my body, my choice?

#DeepState Fauci knew about Hydroxychloraquine as a cure for the Coronavirus in 2005.  He is in on the China/Soros/Gates 666 Vaccine.  Gave $7+ million of our tax dollars to the Wuhan Lab.  Birx is connected as well.

If they went through with it, NYC started disinfecting subway cars and buses daily this week, instead of every three days. I FB-talked with a friend in Orange County, CA who is a bus driver. OC disinfects its buses daily (and probably has been for some time), and their buses are less heavily used.

I went to the store for groceries and was mildly amazed at some I saw there. I saw a couple of people with bandanas, which are all but useless (fold it over several times, blow through it, and notice how much air passes right through it!). Unless they have real filter material, those homemade masks - I saw a couple of those - are little better than a fashion statement. And then there was the lady whose nose was not under the mask, .

And yet you see the infection rate dropping like a rock, regardless. Sorry that Mr. Gilman is upset we're not cooped up in apartment buildings breathing shared air.

Is Central Park in Connecticut?

I went to the store for groceries and was mildly amazed at some I saw there. I saw a couple of people with bandanas, which are all but useless (fold it over several times, blow through it, and notice how much air passes right through it!). Unless they have real filter material, those homemade masks - I saw a couple of those - are little better than a fashion statement. And then there was the lady whose nose was not under the mask, .

Years ago during some other epidemic or pandemic,  I read that ordinary masks don't really prevent the spread of infection.  Maybe the professional grade (N95?) masks do, but those go to health care professionals; we ordinary people can't get them.  Early on during this virus pandemic, I read and heard experts say face coverings don't work.  All of a sudden, the CDC says, wear a mask and the state rulers made them mandatory.    If I had my druthers, I wouldn't wear any facial covering at all, but in some places if I don't have a face covering, I can't get in.  So I wear a mask under protest.  LOL

One of the problems with bandanas and at least some of these non-professional grade masks is that, unless they have a hard piece at the top for the wearer to pinch around the nose, the mask is going to slip.  I had a couple of disposable masks with that piece and the mask stayed in place more or less.  But the reusable masks I found don't have that piece.  So periodically I have to readjust the mask when it slips.  Perhaps the woman you saw with the mask under her nose had a similar problem.

There are varying degrees of protection, ranging from bandanas that protect no one to N95 masks that offer considerable protection, if worn correctly. Re the latter, I would have to shave my beard to get the full protection of an N95.

The masks I've been using are short of N95, but are antiviral. And I do have NIOSH N95 masks.
