It must not get cold enough there then. Mine is a thick almost spandex type. I could see my breathe easily at four feet. You cannot see through this mask either. LLL

Fact is people spit when they talk some more then others, some idiots don’t know what 6 feet looks like go Walmart and witness that. Some people are way more at risk then others that it could become life and death easily.

You probably don't need to worry about a guy over 65 peeing on you, in fact he probably needs one of those crutch boot savers that has the folding board to take the dribble away from your shoes.

I have actually witnessed a preacher that would spit to at least the 3rd row of pews.

All these masks can only delay the inevitable. The Virus is out there, and eventually it will find YOU. It's just a question of when.

It's coming for you. Are you ready?

I wrong it is 1 1/2 minutes in direct sunlight. It only lives an hour out of the sunlight .... Don't believe all this crap about 24 -48 hours on hard surface. I know you may be tired of hearing this but bacteria and germ killing was my job for over 20 years. Sewer plant operator. Most of this crap the media is spewing is to scare people about the transfer. The numbers are high where people were breathing each other, staying cooped up inside, Traveling under ground. OR just plain nasty !!! THe death tolls are high in elderly, sick weak and FAT people.
My source is google and 2 decades handeling , breathing,and being knee deep in every kind of virus/ germ you can imagine...
This is from an article on google..

Just before President Trump's comments about UV light on Thursday, William Bryan, a science and technology advisor at the Department of Homeland Security, presented some results from a study they have conducted into whether sunlight can kill the pathogen.

They found that when the virus was suspended in the air, its half-life – the amount of time it takes to deactivate half the particles in a particular sample – in “ordinary conditions” (20% humidity and a temperature of 70-75F (21.1-23.9C)) was around an hour. When they added sunlight into the equation, that shrank to just one and a half minutes

I think it would be interesting to survey people that has the virus and see if they were following the rules, wear a mask when around people, wash hands
do not touch your face, stay 6 feet apart, stay at home.

Yep you have control of what you do but zero control over others actions.

I agree with everything except the term "kill" the virus. It is not a living organism and cannot be killed. It is destroyed by removing the fat layer that protects it. Sunlight and heat deactivate it. If it is not in direct sunlight, no one seems to know how long it is active. LLL

Boy I hate to agree with an SEC fan, but I gotta go with the bird dude with the nice lawn from KY.

Are masks going to stop everything?? NO. But it does reduce the amount significantly. N95 masks really need to fitted to your face to be 100% effective.

Hobbie a lot of places will allow you to at least keep the mask pulled down a little or expose your mouth if you have an underlying asthmatic condition. They'll ask you to keep it on your face so you can pull it down quickly in case you have to cough.

Honestly you should be coughing or sneezing into your elbow or coat even without the COVID running around. I don't understand why people are suddenly obsessed with basic hygiene. Makes ya really think about those nasty people you shake hands with.

Even with just the cloth masks, if two people are close together, one healthy and one with covid. If the healthy person is wearing a mask they have a 70% chance of catching the virus. If the infected person is wearing a mask the healthy person has a 30% chance of catching it. If both persons are wearing a mask the chance of being infected drops down to 1 1/2 % for the healthy person contracting it.

LOL Yea I had a wrong choice of words. It renders the germ inactive so it can't reproduce !!! But if ANY species can't reproduce it is technically "DEAD"

Thanks for proving me wrong LOL !!! BUt oh wait I wasn't

" if the government would have done their job and stopped this virus before it happened" Is this a joke?
On today's earth any major city with international travel will unwittingly or otherwise spread any easily communicable virus long before anyone knows it's coming. Better get used to that. This virus like others is now shown to be here well before current documentation and could have come from any number of countries who experienced it before we did regardless. That's the new connected world we live in.
I have a question, if I get this virus and my body handles it well as in it hardly affects me, are the germs I may spread afterwords a less potent version of the virus and is this the core thought behind " herd immunity"?

Osky

Actually it cannot reproduce without a living mammal cell so yea you were wrong. LLL

Don't know Really LLL ? Or won't tell ? You think this bug hasn't been test 10 ways from Sunday?? They know how long it lives on, under, near, or on top of everything humans come into contact with . They know what kills it. How to kill it. The issue is how to STOP it from spreading.. How to kill it once it is INSIDE the human body .....

Osky you would be a "blocker" at that point and cannot theoretically transfer or shed the virus. LLL

It is not alive. You did it again. lol, LLL

LLL what type of degree you got in bacteria / virus/ germ life span. Living mammal cell. WT Heck are you talking about. NO ONE or at least me never mentioned anything about a host for the bug. I was just passing on info about how long the virus can survive "OUTSIDE a host AND outside in the sunlight.

GEEZZ stop being such a douche bag

Here you go jbyrd63. All these years you thought you were standing in live viruses up to your knees. Here is what you were in. LLL
