Simplified

Whatever the case, the big social experiment to find out is underway.

Went to Lowes today.....stayed in the truck. Employee loaded my tomato cage wire in the back. But it took about 15 minutes to get it done. Sat 9AM. Parking lot full.....tons of folks coming and going. Only 1 in 4 had a mask on. Young, old, couples. No masks. Same with Sams, grocery store and Walmart. Tons of folks out and about. And no social distancing anywhere.

If that was a bad choice, we will know it in a week or so. If not........risk of getting virus is or has become nil. But whatever, we are about to find out.

As for masks.......why does a surgeon wear one? Why does the girl who cleans my teeth wear one? She took care of my buzzards breath with that snort of Listerine she made me use.

It is a symbol of fear and compliance, period. Look at the eyes behind them, here where it isn't "mandatory" the people wearing them are scared for themselves.

That is not the case at all in my area of PA. All public places have it posted on the doors as required to enter, yet it is not being strictly enforced in many places. Activity slowed down here for about two weeks in April, otherwise, if you were kept in the dark, it would be hard to tell there was any pandemic crisis. Thankfully there is the news to keep me informed.

If I must wear a mask I will not go in your store period I fell like the gun shop does on the subject .

I wear one at the grocery store, but not from fear or compliance. I wear one because at my age I feel it's in my best interest. Aside from a trip to my local home improvement store, that is about the only time I wear a mask. But then I'm not around a lot of people. My children would like me to be more careful then I am, but I figure a person has to live their life and can't live it in fear. Use common sense practices and go on with your life.

Now to me if there's compliance, it's from the people that refuse to wear a mask. Here people are sure it's no worse then the flu and all these precautions are stupid, there's no way they're wearing a mask. So here all these people are falling in line, following each other's lead, and complying with the let's not wear a mask because it's stupid. Oh and while we're at it, let's make sure we make those that wish to use masks feel as if they are selling their freedom by telling them they are complying and living in fear. Is there really a need to do that? You can't be happy with just not wearing a mask, you have to tell those that disagree with you they are weak, complying and fearful. Does that do something for you?

I haven't worn a mask yet in any store that is open. Nothing has been said to me. Everyone else wears one so I should be good. I cant breathe right with one on so I don't wear one. I go to Walmart every week never wore one in the store yet. I keep looking for yeast. Lots of flour now though it seems.

Folks generally practiced social distancing from me long before it was popular.

couldn't be better worded

We've been hoodwinked!!!!

George Carlin did a stint on "fear of germs". Google it and watch it. It may be comedy but it sure fits this covid- 19 time pretty well. For anyone who knows George Carlin you know he is very vulgar and that is why I don't post a link. There is however sensored version for those who don't want to hear the vulgarity. Whatcha it, if for nothing else a good laugh.

Went to some stores this week. Wore mask at Dollar general but not at Amish stores. Cracks me up, most people don't really have the masks over their noses, so what does it really do? My glasses start steaming up immediately, what does that tell me? The breathing particles are not being kept in by the mask. They can't be good for you if you do have breathing problems, because you can't breathe normally.

went into autozone yesterday for some oil. Didn't wear a mask. One of the employees came over to me and says I have to have one on and hands me one they have made from a blue shop towel and rubber bands. I started laughing out loud. No way I was putting that thing on. as I went by the checkout I seen they had it roped off and NO ONE was to cross the rope. I swear it looked like everyone working there was in total fear.

Then the local wally neighborhood market store. You have to have a mask to get in. I seen every type face covering you can imagine. I laughed at most. The majority of the employees had theirs pulled down so they could breath through their nose, with some being even lower. One fella had a huge beard. He was wearing one of the little white dust masks that had to be at least 2 inches from his face. I asked him if he thought it was really helping, he said H... No but I still have to shop.

The only masks that do much of anything are those that are custom fit to each person, then TESTED. We had those in the EMS field. Anything and/or everything else in pretty much useless.

Even my HEPA masks only block stuff down to 3 microns. This virus is 2 microns.

Maybe this has been posted in the following pages, haven't read them all yet. Most of the pork processing places are opening back up with employees wearing masks and other protective gear. Smithfield in Sioux Falls has started but will be going as much as possible by end of this coming week, although product production will be down. JBS in Worhington, MN and I think the Tyson plant in Waterloo, Iowa are either up and running or will be by the end of the coming week. I'm sure production will be down with all the added "safety" measures but they will be slaughtering hogs and making them into meat items.

I saw an md on TV explain it this way.......he said the virus is heavy. When you cough or breathe out it falls down right away as opposed to others that float in air and named off a bunch. The six foot thing is so it could fall out of the air before another breaths it. The mask was for times you can't keep away from people. I have no idea if that's even remotely true, just what I heard....,,,,..,shane

Masks show the submission of the peons

Mask or no mask it's your choice do what you want. Viruses get on everything and they will get transferred this virus can live for days on many surfaces. Keeping people locked up for long periods will only make it worse when we come out of the lock down. Covid-19 will still be here and people will be more susceptible to things like the flu due to the long term isolation. The lock-downs were to protect the hospitals from being overwhelmed which never happened, there is no proven therapeutic and will not be one for a month at minimum and a vaccine will probably be more than a year. Current studies show the mortality verses infection rate to be under 2% make your own choices. Viruses can be "grown" in petri dishes and flasks they just need a live cell culture to act as the host for replication.

The expert nationally Dr Michael Osterholm Of the U of Minnesota who’s all over the place Tv ,newspapers and is as paranoid and negative about this virus as anyone. Has flat out said other than medical type masks they do no good. The sheep are following the BS and PC crowd. How dare you not wear a mask. Murderer. People are scared stupid.

Dr So-and-so said this....Dr Blah-blah-blah said that....Even the professionals don't agree.

When it comes time for the Nobel prizes they'll probably be conceding to Greta Thunberg.

I wonder, Is BuckNe wearing a mask?

If that ever happens Chuck Schumer will be wearing his down around his knees.
