Would you wear a mask?

Someone is catching this virus somehow. From the majority of the forum, one would think it’s nearly impossible. And yet, the numbers continue to climb.

It’s funny you posted that. My roofer did some work and took off abruptly for the next job. I was telling someone, “I didn’t even get a chance to thank that masked man”

I do like your humour. You're a sick man, dualstow.

I don't know about the other thoughtcriminals, but I don't dispute that people are getting it. IMO we've figured out that this isn't the Black Death and shouldn't be so tolerant of draconian countermeasures.

There are people doing work up on roofs in the middle of the summer wearing masks??

My guess is that he took the mask off while up top. We had our discussion on the ground.
If I were a construction worker, though, or any kind of manual laborer doing heavy work, I'd probably have to take my mask off or I'd pass out.

Alien facehugger? Brilliant.

Nice find vnatale - the thought of a facehugger still scares me

[Tortoise]

Facehugger sounds like a Seinfeld term for someone who puts their face right in front of yours and stares directly into your eyes whenever they’re giving you a friendly hug.

Those little loop over the ear, over the face masks:
From day one, I've wondered how grown men can walk around in public while wearing panty liners on their faces.

[Mark Leavy]

When I bought my car from a gal in LA a few months ago, I was arranging to meet up with her and she wanted to know if I had a mask and gloves. I responded that I had a wool neck gaiter and a pair of leather driving gloves I could wear.

She said she would bring me a medical mask and nitrile gloves for our meeting.

"Okay".

When we met up, she had me stand back while she left a plastic bag on the hood of the car with the gear she wanted me to put on.
[Okay, Mark, the goal is to get the car. The goal is to get the car. The goal is to get the car...]

I put on the panty shield and the gloves (which, of course) were woman sized. So the gloves split right open and dangled in weird bits from my hands. The panty shield was darling.

Evidently, that was enough for me to get the car.
Thank god.

Face masks are a 'ticking plastic bomb': Three MILLION coverings are thrown out every minute and serve as carriers for other toxicants in the environment, experts warn

Who could have predicted this?
As if we needed another reason to abandon masks at this point.

Awful. I wear cotton and wash but I can’t get the wife to stop wearing plastic disposable ones.

Until now I had no idea plastic ones existed!

On Tuesday I did my annual pick up stray things on my property. I found about five or so paper masks. Have no idea from where they originated.

[whatchamacallit]

I only ever wore them if they gave me one at the door.

I just only breath through my nose so I don't spew out droplets.

I always wanted to use this as my mask but haven't yet.

I see them on the ground all the time when I'm riding my bike through the neighborhood and surrounding parks. I have no idea where they originated either but I suspect it's mostly kids discarding or losing them on the way home from school.

I can predict where they will end up eventually - floating in Tampa Bay (I'm assuming they float, at least for a while. If not, then they will be on the bottom of Tampa Bay).

My mistake. Wife wears paper masks and they come wrapped in plastic. I suppose that’s a little better, but not great. My dental hygenist was wearing a plastic one the other day.
I love reusable cotton ones. It may just be theater, still i’m used to them.

There are no all plastic masks (you would suffocate). The article is referring to those blue masks that look medical but aren't.

Which was why I was so surprised to find out about them here. I was wondering how plastic masks had been invented to both do the job and allow breathing.

[dualstow]

Right, no all-plastic, but some incorporate plastic.

There should be an official name for those who want to live normal lives again but want everyone else to take the vaccination risks and wear masks so they can just ride their coattails like a draft dodger to a vet.

They let everyone get us to herd immunity so they don’t have to do anything themselves.

Perhaps because I felt the devastation and effects of covid first hand I have a strong opinion about those who are part of the problem and not part of the solution.

I don’t give a rats ass about what one thinks about the effectiveness of either as data is always changing but in the fight against the rona you are either part of the solution trying to get us back to normal lives in the hard hit areas or you are part of the problem as no matter where you are people from your area are bringing it back to our area when they come here

I'm sure you're trolling MJ but I will feed you.

The name of the first group is rugged Americans. The name of the second is foolish cowards sprinkled with the evil.

There are exceptions in both groups as many are required to take the injection for their livelihood.

[mathjak107]

Nope not trolling , I call it as I see it ..just sayin...

Anyone is free to do as they please just as I have a right to think of them any way I want..

They are either helping herd immunity happening or part of the problem ...

I want to hug my kids , I want to hug our grand kids who we have not seen in a year .

For those of you who live in areas un effected much , then me telling you this is like describing the color orange to a blind person ..,you will never understand

[Mark Leavy]

I'm not so much worried about herd immunity. I'm more in favor of culling the herd.

"How bad do you think it's gonna be?"
"Pretty goddamn bad. Probably all the other Families will line up against us. That's all right. These things gotta happen every five years or so, ten years. Helps to get rid of the bad blood. Been ten years since the last one. You know, you gotta stop them at the beginning. Like they should have stopped Hitler at Munich, they should never let him get away with that, they was just asking for trouble."
