Just watched the President ,surgeon general was there--and guess what he said---Wear a mask. This was Fox news.
The surgeon general also stated---the average age of those donating blood and plasma--was over 60.Imagine that,I You would think it would be those in the best shape that were donating.

You definitely need to wear glasses or goggle with your mask if you are trying to protect yourself. Anyone wearing a mask for their own protection and not wearing glasses is a simpleton of the highest order.

But we've been told over and over again that masks are not for our own protection, but for the protection of others. You remember how they made a simple illustration about not peeing on someone else's leg to help us understand? Therefore, the needed glasses must also be required to prevent our tears from spreading our germs to others. There's no other logical explanation.

Unless logic has nothing to do with it. Which is probably most likely.


Unless our state legislatures do something to stop this, I think we will be living with mandatory mask rules for the rest of our lives. It's for the common good. frown

I might be the last person under 60 over 20 without a tattoo. each one is a year time out on donating blood.

also doesn't help that they don't want Gays , people who are sleep around a lot or Drug users to give blood.

makes for very few people with safe blood once you get through the screening questions.

the glasses could actually be for you so people don't spit in your eye.

or so that while you drive with your mask on and your glasses on they fog up you can't see the road and we can have an increase int he covid deaths for the day.

There is also the fact GCP, that a tin foil hat with goggles and a mask is all the new rage. I don't care who says what, the fact remains that unless you are in a biohazard suit the micron sized particles that carry this virus are not being filtered out by a t-shirt over half your face. Come on people use your own mind. With that being said, you do what makes you feel comfortable. I'm fine with you, as long as you are fine with me.

There's two more here in that age group without tattoos, my wife and I.

I used to give blood regularly. About 20 yrs ago, they sent me a notice that my blood had tested positive for one of the Heps. I immediately went to the doctor to get checked out. No hep, it was a false positive. They said it happens fairly often. However, I can no longer give. They take it, but then throw it in the trash. No need to get stuck just so they can throw it away.

I signed up for the bone marrow donation registry through DKMS last summer, and was notified in December of 2019 that I was a match. Went through the secondary screening and everything was going smoothly until this coronavirus mess. I asked about whether or not I would be able to give plasma/blood while waiting to make the bone marrow donation and was told they prefer I didn't give any less than a month before the bone marrow procedure. But no word of when that might be. It would've been great timing while I was laid off for a month and a half, but nothing going on in my life is too important that I can't take a few days off to help save a life.

You started this thread knowing it would cause this reaction. What was the point of letting people know that they need a mask? Everyone has heard that already. People don't always do as they are told. Oklahoma doesn't want to make mask mandatory, guess you hate that idea?

Matt,I posted this as I was watching president Trump and the surgeon general. Most on here believe that the mask thing is only a democrat thing.
Thought the words of the surgeon general and President might show that face masks are not just for those who are democrats.

Re: Surgeon general says------ - 07/31/20 11:24 PM

This says it better then I can.

I was asked why I don’t take Covid and the mask situation seriously. I said that I do take the virus seriously. I believe there is a virus and that it is dangerous. But the people who are disseminating the information to us have a long, long track record of lying to and showing dismissive contempt for American citizens as a whole.

At one point, the disease was supposed to have a 5% death rate. The death rate has now been reduced to less than 1/3 of 1% worldwide. The truth is I’m not opposed to masks at all. Much like carrying a firearm, I don’t and won’t shame anyone for deciding to wear one or not. Sort of a “my body, my choice” situation I suppose.

However, when considering the trustworthiness of information coming from our politicians, I’ve been unable to reconcile the fact that 200,000 people protesting in the streets is met with little to no concern, but a bar, restaurant or hair salon with 10 people in it could be disastrous. The idea that a Trump rally of 18,000 people is a significant risk but a group of 20,000 students tearing down statues isn’t, leaves me perplexed.

Further, how could you possibly take anyone seriously who mandates that free citizens stay at home and wear masks in public but also calls for the acceptance of millions of immigrants entering our society illegally with no record of immunizations against more common and deadly diseases every day.

The truth is that our political “leaders,” just like with guns, drugs, our national debt or sex trafficking, have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about and no plan outside of what’s handed to them 6 seconds before they reach the podium.

So I choose to protect myself as I see fit. If anyone doesn’t like it, I’m ok with that. Just think of it as a “protest.” That seems to be ok with many people! Ok? Cool.

Re: Surgeon general says------ - 08/01/20 12:49 AM

If the masks and face shields work then why did so many health care workers get sick while wearing them? Medical studies in the US and other countries have shown that Covid can aerosolize that means it moves on air currents freely and lands on everything.

How long until we are back to it being transferable from surfaces? Seems like we are just going in circles.

The object was to not swamp hospitals that hasn't happened, it was never possible to stop transmission.

So, if it is following a pattern the northern half of the country should expect to be hit around December, since cold weather will force many indoors as the hot weathers is doing now in the south. JMO

After that eye has recovered ,the cataract will be removed from the other eye. I attend all of her doctors visits ,so between the two of us,we can get a better handle for what is going on. My wife is a voracious reader,right now she is having a real hard time not being able to do that at the level she was used to.
If that were her only health issue,life would be much easier,but it isn't.
I have to work on thimgs for the kids forum this evening. So it may be tomorrow before I respond to any hammering on here.
As I have said before,my wifes health is the main reason I have become so concerned with wearing a mask ,if it helps in any way from her contracting the virus I will do it. There is no way she would survive if she contracted it.
And after almost 46 years of putting up with me and my trapping addiction,she deserves everything I can do for her.

Re: Surgeon general says------ - 08/01/20 02:32 PM

I am fortunate to live within 30 miles of a Blood Center of WI or now Versiti blood center. I give a triple unit of platelets monthly now. For several years while working full time I gave a triple twice per month. Yes many drives are from during the day at the designated sites. but the center has flexible hours that allow donations if you plan your donations. I had open heart surgery to replace a defective aortic valve but the surgeon was able to get me able to give again as the material used was a piece of bovine pericardium. If you want to give blood you can find a way that works for you. I started giving when I was 19 and have for the last 54 years when I could. With three surgeries I had about 2 years when I could not give out of those years, and yes when I give I am required to wear a mask so that may be a detraction for some.
