I posted a lengthy account from an ER doctor this morning
Only a few of his staff have gotten the virus. He has treated over 500 patients. He said masks work.
Then why don't we wear them perpetually?
I went on the PA health department snitch website and reported Wolf’s cabinet business because none of their employees were wearing condoms
I know a guy whose 91 year old aunt died of COVID in a nursing home.
She shared the room with her 94 year old husband. Despite sharing a room with a woman who died of COVID he did not become ill.
He did not even test positive.
And no, he was not wearing a mask.
Your anecdotal story does not mean this virus is not contagious
It means they should look at his blood type and his T cells to see if he fought it off before he had enough viral load to test positive
T cells are fighting this off in some people. More studies are being done
So..it did not kill a 94 year old a few feet away from a woman who was dying. But a 32 year old in a supermarket needs to wear a mask?
And one about how they would be generally ineffective in general public use: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/04/commentary-masks-all-covid-19-not-based-sound-data
Either source can be believed or not, but from my viewpoint the information in them appears sound, and mirrors my experience in the realm of having used respirators and other PPE for many things including dangerous chemical usage in aerosol form throughout a large portion of my 49 years on this planet.
You missed my point
This virus is an unknown
You do not know how your body is going to respond.
I posted this week how a healthy fit 38 year old who ate right.. medical device worker died from it. The employer did a wellness check when she didnt show up for work.
I have also posted a 28 year old who refused to wear a mask, partied with his buddies in California..now has it, his GF has it, his 6 buddies have it...they arent terribly sick yet......and he is out spreading it right now.
The fact is YOU do not know how your body will respond if you get it
It is Wuhan Roulette.
It is CRAZY to think just because a 94 year old didnt test positive that you couldnt possibly get it
But hey, go have a Wuhan Let’s Catch Covid and get it over party
You just keep digging yourself deeper.
It seems you’re trying to compare an electrostatic precipitator type of air purifier with a face mask (I wasn’t about to pay for the full article, just to confirm that). The key difference is the gaps (plate separation) — over 3,000 nm vs ~ 30 nm for masks. Electrostatic forces are subject to the inverse-square law. If 10,000 volts are required for a 1/8” gap (> 3,000 nm), then, just over 10 volts would be required in a cloth mask.
I paid attention in some of my college physics classes.
Frankly at this point I’d rather die from it than put up with much more of this bullshit.
Find someone who is walking while chewing gum, and ask them to explain that to you.
Wolf’s order says simply “a cloth face covering”.
So an Alyssia Milano crocheted mask would qualify.
This is not about health.
I doubt that is true
I do highly recommend for those that have to wear them for work to look into a face shield alternative. It’s comfortable and very doable. It will also provide some protection if you interact with the public.
I personally think workers wearing masks are going to have other problems from wearing those masks for 8 hours a day
You mean Tony Fauci is once again guilty of static analysis? Whoa, be still my beating heart!
I have never liked Fauci. not crazy about Debra either
That’s your prerogative. Just try not to take anyone else with you.
No honestly, I have not. Thanks for your input, but I am still not wearing masks outside. It’s bad enough being suffocated at work.
We have had 5 cases where I work, 2 weeks ago, all asymptomatic, even the 93 year old. So, I think the virus is weakening.
I have asthma. I wear a mask in public places without a problem.
