Hey buddy, how you been? BP holding steady I hope.

Yea, I was just answering the question. Im in the camp that wears one most of the time if nothing but to be polite, kinda like covering my mouth when I cough or sneeze. I'm absolutely amazed at the the level of controversy over this. Lol.

hence if other people wore masks as well.....the key word in that phrase is MAY. If we are facing each other talking, and you are wearing pants and I am not and I pee, you MAY get wet. However if we are both wearing pants and I pee, I will only pee on myself, you will not get wet.

Doing well thanks, just hot and rain every day. Typical.

Dude sits between me and another guy at church every week that refuses to wear a mask and he's annoyingly vocal about it. "They do nothing and you look silly wearing it". Lulz.

Last week I asked him if I sneeze with my mask on, then grab a hymnal, look through it and return it, and Mark on the other side does the same without a mask, then I ask you to hand me one of those hymnals, which one would you grab?

Obviously he said the one Mark touched with the snot covered hands just to "prove" me wrong. Lol.

It's amazing that in 2020 Science has regressed to something we read on an absolutely idiotic Facebook meme.

I've never understood the touching/wiping/adjusting of the mask argument. When this stuff first started we heard and read stories constantly that the 2 main things you could do to help avoid the virus were (1) wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds (2) don't touch your face - which was often accompanied by the factoid that studies show the average person touches their face 20 times an hour. So, when mask wearing was not encouraged we were told we needed to discipline ourselves to not touch our faces. If we can be expected to change that behavior, can we not also discipline ourselves to not touch our mask ? I personally can.

The other thing I don't understand is the mask not helping because the particles are smaller than the holes in the fabric. This is probably stupid but here goes - a golf ball will fit thru the holes of a chain link fence easily but if you throw a golf ball at a chain link fence there is a decent chance you will hit the fence and not the hole. Why can't the same be true for a virus going thru a mask? Even if it's smaller than the hole in the fabric, won't some of the particles hit the cloth and not the hole? Especially if you have 3 layers. If you throw a golf ball at 1 chain link fence you might hit the hole and the golf ball make it thru. If you add a 2nd fence an inch behind the first and you line the wire mesh of the 2nd fence up to cover the gaps of the first fence the golf ball won't make it thru. You add a 3rd fence an inch behind the 2nd and you won't be able to get a gumball thru. So, won't some of the tiny virus particles hit one of the cloth layers and stick to it? And is there a benefit to reducing the number of particles that get thru? Or is 1 getting thru as bad as 1,000,000?

That golf ball isn’t going to stick to the fence and wait for you to touch it.

If you read the whole article I get it. You don’t want kids in their underwear on the virtual call.

they can wear clothes without being in full uniform. The Shelby County school system is a majority of underprivileged kids and impoverished families. It's bad enough they are telling most of these poor parents they have to keep their kids home 5 days a week while most likely also maintaining hourly jobs that don't allow for remote work, now they are expected to purchase school uniforms when they aren't physically in school.

Lol.
I'm not around many people on a daily basis. My line of work is great for natural social distancing.

I haven't seen my granny in months just out of an abundance of caution. And I drive by her house literally every day to go to our office that's 600 feet from her.

Ready for it to be gone like everybody else.

I do think masks help projectiles such as coughing or sneezing but not sure how much different it is from coughing or sneezing into your elbow which was the original guidelines.... it is obvious that your respiration droplets get out around the mask. If you are wearing goggles with the mask like I have to at my job then it takes approximately 5 seconds for you not to be able to see due to the goggles fogging up.....

What’s the turn around time on a Covid test?? My daughter tested positive. Took the at home test on Tuesday (to return to campus this fall), overnighted it to the lab. Got a positive result back yesterday morning. That’s a quick turnaround time. Something is not computing with this. I’m going with her tomorrow to be tested by her doctor. Just want a second opinion. She’s asymptomatic other than the 20 year old freak out.

There are places you can find that do rapid testing which is typically like 3-5 days. Some places taking 2 weeks to get back, which at that point you've already recovered.

Why would you be standing so close to somebody with no pants on ? 6ft and neither of us have to worry . I’ll just laugh at you for peeing in the floor and the Indian guy that owns the store beating you with a stick as you run out the door .

so are you saying that, if others around Herman Cain, as well as Herman Cain wore a mask, his chances for getting Covid would remain the same? That is like saying having sex with and without a condom leaves you with the same chance of getting pregnant or getting an STD.

There are plenty of skeletons around Atlanta from his times getting elected.

Like I keep saying people need to look at what all went down when he first won the 5th.

Skeletons like paying pornstars, paying for abortions, affairs with men or women, NDA? Those types of skeletons?

As long as he is not on another person's private property - including a private business - then I would agree. However, it was irresponsible for Trump as the President of a nation of 330 million people, to be introducing a political component into the equation. It's unnecessarily divisive, and just plain bad leadership in the middle of a health care crisis.
Click to expand...
Uhhh it takes two sides to tango on the politicizing....

If it was just Trump it would just be ranting. Politicizing means there are opponents involved.

Masks were the Dems new high ground after they lost the opening round refusing to shut things down back in January.
