I respect your decision also Sprung. Heck I would even bring stuff out to you so you don’t have to come inside. I’m not trying to make a political statement, or even trying to get you to conform.

I’m just following doctors recommendation, and while I admit I’m shaking my head at the resistance to such simple and logical guidelines, as an example I also think people should be allowed to not wear a helmet on a motorcycle even though I’m still alive because did and I still do.

A year in and I've not gotten sick. No mask.

“You are correct. We have no starting point. I am not the one twisting the data.

And it is your right to not allow me in your building the same as it is my right to not darken your doorstep.

Equal respect. Kinda.”

I certainly hope that most people will ask their doctors for advice on this matter. The number of doctors who agree with bowhunter is so small as to be insignificant. I guess you think they are all twisting the data. No starting point indeed.

Mask or no mask, people spread the virus, not an item. Stay away from people is the best way to avoid the virus. No doctor advice needed. I also wash very well, especially when I'm going to be eating.

A year in and I've not gotten sick. No mask.

A year in and neither have I. I consistently wore a mask only about half that year. But dozens of my friends have gotten sick, one died, one is still recovering and just now walking strongly after being the high school athletic director and a runner. And that’s just the Glad you’ve been lucky. I’m not wishing you ill, I’m just saying you are a trapper on the internet not a doctor. I respect and listen to anyone for a period of time at least, but I will get my medical advice from my doctor.

I'm not giving you advice either. Doctors have been handicapped and not allowed to give proven drugs that help or risk losing their license as well. This whole thing is fishy.....

Due to mask wearing, social distancing, good hand washing, hand sanitizer use, and minimal long distance traveling the flu is almost non existent this season. (Lay it on me guys.......throw a bunch of breitbart or newsmax articles in my face cherry picking CDC quotes to fit the rhetoric).

If the flu was as contagious as covid, it would have been a bigger problem in previous years. Even the worst flu years are nothing like this. Just look at LTC facilities. The Veterans home here had 5 deaths in one week when it got in there......not normal.

Elk antlers, thanks for your common sense, decency, and thoughtfulness. You are a prime example of a good person , or sheep as most of the other posters would probably prefer to call you.

Happy trapping! ScottW

CDC and facts don't belong in the same sentence. You know the CDC is on record as anti gun don't you? Just how in the hot place is a gun a disease? You think the CDC just might be a little bit political?

I do. Done some trapping a few years back working with the CDC, have had many clients who work there, know that part of town and I highly doubt you'll find a Ron Paul fan among any of them. You're far more likely to a happy response if you say the United Nations has our best interest at heart.

Hmmmmm........ Not quite. The studies of shown that it reduces transmission because of your antibodies reactiin and reducing spread. 100%?no but its significant enough similar to other vaxs.

One of the main problems is no matter what you die of they call it covid. It pays extra.

Im sure that has happened, but I'm pretty confident saying most doctors are not going to call it a covid death if the person did not have covid at all.

Happy trapping! ScottW

If we don't eventually Stand Up and say ENOUGH, NO MORE MASKS - The Germaphobes will want us to wear mask Forever!

Now they want you to keep wearing a mask even after you have had the Vaccine.

If you want to wear a mask go ahead, but DON'T TELL ME I HAVE TO!

I'm also done with the MASK!

You seriously are gullible.

Amen

How about gun shot victims, drownings and car wreck victims? Labeled as coronafluenza deaths. My state has had an untold number they had to go back and change cause of death. Through this pandemic how many times has anyone heard of a private autopsy being conducted, after death testing results going against the coronafluenza badge and been proven, causing the state to "reevaluate" and change cause of death?

Be confident all you want, but, it has, is and will continue to happen.

Sad to say but Sweden is the only country so far that can be applauded through this mess. They didn’t cave, life kept going, economy kept going, travel continued, they were and are ridiculed but they are doing better than the USA by a measurable margin. Measurable in cases/deaths per million. They knew they’d take a hit and now what is the comparison?



Owl

In some instances and situations I am definitely gullible, you are correct!

In the statement I made, no, not gullible, I just have a functioning brain. Happy trapping! ScottW

Again, not saying it doesn't happen, just that doctors aren't automatically stamping every stinking death COVID like so many on here would lead us to believe. Happy trapping! ScottW

I dont wear a mask. Been all over the country. Haven't been confronted yet. Did get kicked off a job site. Im not going to wear one. Its flat out stupid to think a mask prevents virus spread. I dont tell people to take one off and don't tolerate people telling me to put one on.
