my aunt is a nurse , she has been working with covid patients she said it is working for them to not get sick from the covid patients.

the thing is the government and people suggesting these things are focusing on the tools and not the behaviors and education.


you can bring out the best traps , great lure and all the top trapping tools and it won't do any good if the trapper has no knowledge of target animal behavior , habitat , how to read ans see sign. and how to get that animal to step on the pan, or walk through the body grip or snare.

you can have masks and shields and goggles but if the user has the mask off their nose , around their neck or touches and adjusts it every 2 minutes and has poor washing or non existent washing .


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Wear a mask. It is not undignified nor does it cost you any freedom.

Its really just a test to see how much people will fall for. I heard after goggles it will be underwear on your head. Dont laugh I think some will believe. I mean would you rather die or wear underwear on your head.

I'm waiting for that to be part of the deal to pass the second stimulus I have heard some rumblings of it already. I don't think the first or second stimulus should have occurred however, I'm sure they'll use the second round of stimulus for the dead beats as leverage to make it happen.

Bingo of the day!
Run of the mill regular people are probably more at risk of contracting COVID-19 by wearing a mask than if they did not.
This bold statement will likely get some panties wadded up by some well-meaning, concerned citizens.
I did that on purpose to stimulate the conversation.
The reasoning behind this bold statement is stated perfectly by Pete above.
A non-professional person,, unaware of the proper behavior to avoid contracting or spreading a virus via the air, or from surfaces touched by infected people will run all over town with their mask on, thinking that the mask alone will save our species. Will they?

Wear a mask, gloves, face shield, they are all feel good things. They do nothing other than make some people feel good. They have nothing to go on so this is what they tell us to do. Now they can say that they did something.

I didn’t write this but man......... Scary

It's not about masks. Open your mind to the POSSIBILITY......

In 4 months, the U.S. transformed into an obedient socialist country. Government dictated what events are acceptable to attend. Violent protests that instill fear are OK but church services, family funerals and patriotic celebrations are dangerous. And you bought it without a fight.

Standing in a graduation line is a "safety hazard". Small businesses were forced to close but crowds to support the corporate money machine at WalMart, Lowes and Home Depot are OK.

Come on. It's "just a mask" & "safety precautions".

How about a little hush money. Here's $2,400 that we stole out of your pay check in the first place. Enjoy. Buy something with it. From a big corporation.

Cash is dirty. We can't give change. There's a coin shortage. Use your card. In 4 months, they convinced you to use a traceable card for everything.

In less than 4 months, government closed public schools then "restructured" education under the guise of "public safety". In less than 4 months, our government demonstrated how easily people assimilate to "guidelines" that have NO scientific premise whatsoever when you are fearful.

In less than 4 months, our government successfully instilled fear in a majority of the population in America that allows them to control every aspect of your life. Including what you eat, where you go, and who you see.

And the most dangerous and terrifying part? People are not afraid of the government who removed their freedom. They're afraid of their neighbors, family and friends.

And they hate those who won't comply.

It's absolutely terrifying to me that so many people don't question "authority". They are willing to surrender their critical thinking skills and independence. They just... gave up without thinking. Without a fight.

Do you know what's coming next?
"It's just a vaccine. Come on. It's for the greater good".

Wait until you're told that you can't enter any store or business without proof of the Covid-19 vaccine. Wait until you can't go to public events or get on a plane without proof of receiving the vaccine.

To everyone that doesn't believe this is possible - DO YOU UNDERSTAND that government successfully dictated to people WHEN they were allowed to be outside, where they were allowed to go, and how their children would be educated in less than 4 months? And that a majority of the population followed blindly because they were told to do so.

You're kidding yourself if you think this behavior won't be repeated with a vaccine. Or whatever the next step is.

"I don't follow politics."
"Who cares about that stuff?"
"I don't like to think about it."
6 million Jews were exterminated in Germany because 97% of the population cowered to populist control. Nobody wanted to think about it. It's easier to just ignore it.

But that couldn't happen here, right?

I wish you well Drifter but sometimes I worry it is like explaining calculous to someone who hasn't gotten past the multiplication tables.

I should be dead. I haven't followed any "guidelines" since the end of March. So far nobody I know that has said covid 19 is greatly exaggerated has died either.

I do have first hand knowledge of a death due to a two year long diabetic coma being called covid.

I am still seeing plenty of homeless people too.

I think the big danger is the harm to our economy from all this fear mongering

Stockpile nonperishable food, boots, clothes, ammo. That stuff doesn't eat much and may come in handy

Jews got on those trains like sheep. In the Warsaw Ghetto they fought back. MY plan is to take somebody with me rather than get on the train.

I just saw a guy today on a motorcycle without a helmet but he was wearing his blue kung flu mask. I guess if he crashes his mask will save him.

Wearing a mask is my choice, not the governments. So If I wear one it is only to be polite when in someone else's business.

Is wearing one a good idea? Probably. Like seatbelts. And while I think your an idiot for not wearing a seat belt, I don't want the government telling me I have to.

All the government cares about is creating another revenue stream for themselves thru fines etc.

How long before were are wearing NBC suits and promasks?

Should we all wear helmets to prevent head injuries?

Alot of things might be a good idea, but they arn't.
