Yes: The evidence is way too overwhelming for me to take seriously. By the way, the CDC term for wearing masks is ?Source Control.?

And there are many studies published prior to 2020 that concluded masks are not efficacious in preventing the spread of the flu and colds.

...​

And the CDC only recommends cloth face coverings. Not paper.

?COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation.? A great way to keep changing the narrative.

?Social Distancing? is a contradiction of terms, but 6 feet of separation makes facial recognition easier ,even with masks.

A lot of past studies didn't look at all at whether an infected person wearing a mask transmitted less to others. Only at the reverse.


I'm sure a study of people that sneeze into their elbows during flu season would show that it doesn't help reduce the odds of the elbow-sneezer catching the flu.

You guys realize that - other than a handful of decent posters (who appear to be posting less and less these days anyway) - you're trying to have rational conversations about politics, race, and public health issues with: a guy who's religious beliefs put him comfortably in the "medieval period" & who appears to be losing his grip on reality, another guy who never had a grip on reality & is also painfully stupid, a person quite obviously on the "personality disorder" spectrum who has a pathological need to be "right" about everything (whether or not a "right" answer could even exist), a libertarian/contrarian in Hollywood most likely drunk), a racist Polish internet troll, and... uh... Tom Dalton?



Right?

My level of effort has evolved on a poster-to-poster level.


And don't pick our medieval religious beliefs, they've evolved too.

Glad you are alive and well, MC. Seriously.

I'm hurt that you didn't have a specific insult for me. :cheers:

On a serious note, I am glad that you are alive and well. I was beginning to wonder...

thanks.

I decided to take a break from posting a couple months ago, when I was honestly thrown for a loop upon realizing that people could politicize and argue about a virus that was killing large numbers of their fellow citizens, and leaving even more hospitalized with breathing problems, & long term, chronic health issues - particularly blood clots and reduced lung capacity that will likely kill them much sooner anyway... but at least United Health, Chase, and Bank of America found a way to profit off it all...

And many of these same people have spent the last several decades insisting human life was sacred to them, and abortion was murder! And now they turn around and are like "welp. A buncha you just gotta die so I can get a beer at Applebees, and my tubby middle-aged wife can go get her nails done. And don't tell me to wear a mask. It protects others? If you think I give a fuck about anyone else around me, let me be clear: I don't." (just making this a general statement, not directed at anyone here)

seeing these Karens and Kens screaming at the top of their lungs for minutes on end at underpaid wage slaves that they can't wear a mask at Trader Joes because they have "lung problems"... yikes. just too much. The total lack of self-awareness, and open sociopathy of these people is just too much. And there are A LOT of them. Too many of them, in fact. We have a passed a critical mass of stupidity in this country.

Fuck everyone. We're doomed.

Absence of Apparent Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from Two Stylists After Exposure at a Hair Salon with a Universal Face Covering Policy ? Springfield, Missouri, May 2020

two stylists tested positive, but wore masks at work. 139 clients saw them during this time and were exposed... none tested positive after two weeks of contract tracing and follow up.

Wear your GODDAMN masks everybody.

you STUPID MONKEYS.

So you're not the one flipping Texas?

No, I've been hunkered down since early March.

The state Republicans are managing that on their own, despite the Democrats own incompetence and reluctance to try to lead or even legislate.

Can you believe our Lt. Governor gave a speech where he said old people should be happy to die to save "the economy"?

WTF kind of place is this? What kind of right-minded person in a democracy would vote for a politician who OPENLY wants to sacrifice his own citizens? That's how far gone we are as a country.

BOOM! Science...sounds like proof to me! I always wore a mask anyways.

People are just quick to give excuses right now because they are assholes. If its not their rights, then its something else. c02 poisoning!..lmao. "The science isnt there"?! The cool thing about science is it can change. As we got an increase of data, and increase of availability of facemasks it was pretty clear that a mask would help. Hospital workers wear masks for 8-12 hours a day...every day. They are fucking superhuman if c02 poisoning doesnt effect them but for some dumbass reason will effect a normal citizen from being able to breathe during a 20 min grocery trip.

Its an obvious effort to simply be an asshole and not give a fuck about others. I get it...some people are assholes.

I think that the question (?) was sufficient. Be thankful that an elitist like MC even calls you out by “name.”

I don’t feel insulted at all!

I’ve always claimed to be libertarian, nothing wrong with being contrarian when the status quo is wrong, which is always, I grew up in Michigan dreaming of living in Hollywood, and four out five of these are among my favorite historic people - I don’t know who the footballer is - I don’t follow that sport.

It’s the best compliment of my day so far-granted I did just get up.

EDIT: Oops.

Thought I was quoting TomDalton.

I guess I quoted Byco quoting TomDalton.

Not that it matters much.

my bad...i always try to go into a conversation assuming everyone is rational. I should have learned 20 years ago from my ex-girlfriend that thats not always the case. Slow learner...

That really is stupid.

That?s not why old people should be happy to die.

Old people should be happy to die because being old sucks.

If I?m ever in an assisted living facility please, somebody find me and come kill me.

I thought Bueller was also supposed to be advising Kramer about this?

 

[Spartanmack]

My cell phone did not go off. Also, yeah her concern for the safety of the public at large is surely a sign that she's a "psychopath". How dare that filthy bitch act like a leader instead of playing golf!

And believe me when I say, your post script was unnecessary, as everyone pretty much knows at this point you would wholeheartedly agree with that.

you should be incensed that Whitmer apparently isn't concerned about the people in the thumb.

hughes' posts are rational? thanks for the laugh and welcome back.

 

[mhughes0021]

Oh.. I'm starting to get it now. Sorry the logic took me awhile to catch up.

So...dont let anyone tell you NOT to put a fork in an electrical socket. It is your right. And it kills less people than the flu so ya... fucking fry yourselves assholes!

What I find so strange after watching that video is that?s not even close to what he said. It?s as if you intentionally twisted and misrepresented his words. It makes me wonder if you?ve ever done that before. /s (for Gulo, /s=sarcasm)

Everything takes you a while to catch up. I bet after you posted that you stuck a fork in a socket just to be sure it would actually hurt.

Allow me please to revert my actions to this previously stated position . I’ve been thinking about it since yesterday. There was a scenario that came to me: The lifting of the exemption to attend Holy Mass combined with the requirement to wear a mask. I would abide in that, even though I have the choice of remaining outside the church and still be considered as having observed the Sabbath. I respect and value all your opinions and input, in general and in particular, whether or not I agree.

I wonder why you're concerned about it at all, or whatever I might be incensed over.

It's more of an observation than concern but I did grow up in Michigan and I do have family there - not in the thumb, thank goodness so they will likely receive adequate warnings. One family does live in AA and Whitmer is a Spartan so that could be problematic in an emergency situation. I hope it's just the thumb she has a beef with.
