If you do, wear a mask. :rolleyes:

what is the percentage of the reduction of transmission by wearing a mask ?:confused::confused::confused::confused:
if you haven't the foggiest , just say so ...
it’s wonderful that you have all that information at your fingertips, or that you took the time to find it, but do you think for one second any of it was read? There are people that do not want the facts, they only want a shred of information or part of a sentence that can be extracted to support their position. When they were claiming the election was stolen, and republican governors were making sure that the votes were correct, it wasn’t enough. It would’ve been enough if they said oh yes, it was stolen. So they began having recounts, and when the recounts didn’t show anything basically, they denounced those findings. And the nimrods in our Arizona hired that group of idiots to tear apart everything in blue counties in Arizona and even they couldn’t find anything. That those people did not say, “OK thank you now we agree that the election was fair and we support president by . “They didn’t say that at all because it isn’t what they wanted to hear. They don’t care what the truth is, and after four years of Trump it doesn’t matter what the truth is, because these people deal in their own reality and control their own narratives.
I want to read the test results from testing the masks themselves on their effectiveness,
not an extrapolation on what may or may not have happened during the same time a mask mandate was in place.
Sadly, MM, I don't. But I don't think that was the point. I think it was to score some cheap shot at you.
But sadly, reality doesn't care about their narratives. The reality is this. We have a pandemic. The virus that propels it doesn't have a political affiliation. People are exposing themselves and others to illness and death because of politically driven misinformation. This is why, in the US, the Supreme Court has generally upheld public health mandates that require people to act. Don't like it? The courts can be packed with right wing ideologues, but that virus don't care. It's gonna virus no matter what some lunatic group thinks, or does, or creates it own reality for itself. 900,000 people in the US are dead because of this virus. But's let's not hurt anybody's fee fee's by asking them to put a little old piece of cloth over their face so people don't die. That would be comma nism!!!!
you can wear a mask every day or every other day, or here and there or constantly for the next eighties years, god willing and more power to you.
wrap yourself in saran wrap from head to toe if it makes you "feel" better while your at it.
There must be some extrapolation stats on the benefits of doing that ...maybe from Tanzania?? :rolleyes:
how was the weather
hey did you ever say , do you put your N95 [nothing less will do] mask in a brown paper bag for forty eight hours each time you wear it like science says we all oughta?
I guess I should just admit it: the pandemic is a hoax! They were shutting down restaurants because they wanted to hurt the economy! Everyone knows that. The vaccines don’t do any good and masks don’t do any good. The only thing that does any good is that pill that’s Viagra for horses, but I don’t qualify for it because, rumors to the contrary notwithstanding, I’m not THAT well hung! I don’t know how any of this became political and why people want to take away my freedoms. If I want to cop a deadly virus on the person next to me it is my right to do so! Unless you can prove to me that my particular spittle is deadly, I am going to spittle wherever I feel like it! And it is my right not to wear a mask, it says so in the bill of rights. It’s somewhere near where they allow pre-K to bring AK-47s to school with a permit. And just because Covid rates are soaring in countries where they have relaxed all the rules, there are many reasons that could be have nothing to do with the relaxation of rules… People make a big deal out of the most trite coincidences.
All of this talk about masks reminded me of this song lol. She could sing it at a future show and change the lyrics to "don't drop the mask" :p

Wow - well the SD and Ghetto Numbers just exploded
Too much to read thoroughly but it looks like a productive discussion
It’s a terrible shame and embarrassment that what was at one time the world’s most advanced country, has a per capita death rate higher than any other advanced country and three times the rate in Canada
Masks and vaccines appear to help
It is an honour to be a Disciple of D. As my first act of loyalty, I shall giveth my tithe, as a financial contribution toward the ultimate mission of resurrecting the Workin' Overtime album and evangelizing the message of "Say We Can" to all inhabitants of our earth.
I, Ranran79, presiding Bishop of the Forever Faithful Florence Ballard Fellowship Kingdom Hall, do firmly and publicly denounce the musical terrorist group known as the Disciples of D. As an organization we refute any claim that Florence Glenda Ballard was not on every Supremes recording between 1960-1967. We reject the notion that Florence Ballard was anything other than an angel sent from Heaven to give the Supremes life. We affirm our position that Diana Ross was a backstabbing, homewrecking, no talent hack, with more luck than talent. We reject the existence of the mythical Andante, in all it's various forms.
All I can say is this: when Diana Ross first saw my smiling face up close, she was singing Reach Out And Touch and there were thousands of people around, waiting to hear the rest of her show, so she couldn't very well set down her mic, reach in her pocket for a pen and a scrap of paper and ask me to write down my name and address. Obviously, she was disappointed that she didn't get to spend more time with me, so she married two other guys, to try to find a modicum of the eternal joy she could have experienced sharing Endless Love with me. That's just the way life is; you make compromises when things don't work out the way you hope they will. And while I, too, found happiness elsewhere, I promised myself that should Diana and I meet up again, in the time of an international pandemic, perhaps, I'd keep my mask on, so she would not see me, regret what could have been long ago and could be as happy as possible, even though in the process she'd miss another chance to maybe become my wife. And even though she may still cry herself to sleep sometimes, thinking of all we've missed, she would probably agree with me that it's better this way. She still experiences thrills and chills each and every time she sings The Impossible Dream or Somewhere, thinking of me, knowing that once she almost had it all and feeling that she has reason to go on, to see if, one day, she can attain her ultimate desire. And don't we all want her to feel that there is a purpose to the rest of her life?
Well ... good try, toaxxx haters. You've shown yourselves to be trump supporters. Other than that, for Diana's career, the needle has not moved one degree.
I can make it clear for you...
Vaccinations, Boosters, Face Masks & Sanitising/Washing your hands and physical distancing all REDUCE the chance of catching covid and REDUCE the chance of severe infection if you catch it.
There is NO magical shield against Covid.
Your getting forgetful dear. You remembered the usual Ross haters but left out the trolls. I guess toads will have to suffice as a way of best describing those servants of evil.
.And they say intelligent conversation is a dying art form. :eek:
May I suggest half a Valium and a mug of Ovaltine.
Actually all this zig zagging has gotten kind of tiresome.
I ‘ve asked a direct question. If you have the answer thanxal, fine. If you don’t that’s fine too.
have a good safe day and thank you for your time.:)
I’ll probably be sorry I wandered into this minefield, but it is well documented that today the vast majority of those hospitalized with Covid are unvaccinated. No the vaccination does not mean you can’t catch it but it would be much milder and the symptoms much less severe. Most vaccinated persons who contract the virus today do not require hospitalization.
I believe that is borne out and not arguable based on the facts reported by hospitals regarding those who have been admitted today for Covid.
good grief more zig zagging!
yes I’m aware that Trump’s vaccinations have likely saved hundreds of thousands of lives and prevented a lot of misery for those who would’ve had more severe cases without them. We owe Trump a world of gratitude for fast tracking the process , although I know there are those who would never express such appreciation. [thank you president Trump for my vaccines for me and my close ones].
Thanks for the update Kenneth on their success,
nonetheless this has nothing to do with my original enquiry which was specifically about …….[[[MASKS!! ]]]
hee haw!!:)
take care stay safe however it is that works for you:cool:
