Ugh I am so annoyed ... here it is a state ordinance to wear a mask when in any store[...] I can't stand it ...
I was happy to see only 10-20% of the people were wearing masks. [....] I was just relieved to see some few people outside CI at least semi-aware of what’s happening.
"
No! Those
10-20% are
not aware at
all: I'm very
disappointed to see that here in
CathInfo, the prevailing opinion is expressed by what might be called "
inverse sheeple": Otherwise intelligent members who accept any & all
conspiracy hypotheses that someone is able to articulate. Such
hypotheses ought
not be adopted without applying a rational sense of
discrimination.
It is unhealthy to do it and I so just want to be normal not give into this tyranny.
Let's be clear on this: When I wear a face-mask, I'm
not protecting myself; there is truth in conclusions about that the protection provided by face-masks is imperfect to various degrees. Anyone without a well-fitted face-mask would be foolish to wade repeatedly into a CoVID-19-infested environment, and expect to be made invulnerable to catching CoVID-19. But for
medical care-givers working
12-hour shifts, it's the best option they have. And the presumed protection can be even more imperfect for people or institutions that fail to make even simple efforts at maintaining those masks. For ordinary folks in the near future, it seems likely that it'll be far easier, e.g., to
sanitize such masks with a soaking spray of high-strength rubbing alcohol, than to
buy new masks in bulk.
So instead, when I wear a face-mask, I understand that I'm
protecting my
neighbors. It's less than "perfect" to varying degrees, but it's the best opportunity we got.
Plenty of
cօռspιʀαcιҽs are
real, including some related to CoVID-19, but wearing face-masks to reduce the spread of CoVID-19 among your neighbors, much more as a matter of
slowing it than any rational hopes of
preventing it, is
not among them. It's an issue of
public health, not an exercise in gov't oppression, but there's little chance of success unless local populations coöperate, instead of rebelling irrationally to the minor physical burden involved.
I told the guy not to worry: If he gets it, he will just have a runny nose for 3 days and be fine.
Holy [expletive]! Are you really that
ignorant? For the sake of people who've survived into their senior years, and might wander into your smugly ignorant and inappropriately rebellious path,
please, go read or review, then ponder, a March 22 reposting by "Clemens Maria": "‘S
***, this Is Not The Flu’". Reply #53, March 22, 2020, 20:07:52): <

asymptomatic despite being infected and
contagious.
I'm very glad that I found a reliable forum for factual info on CoVID-19. It's outside
CathInfo, and its participants collectively understand not only medicine, biochemistry, and other sciences, but also can recognize evidence of international & national
cօռspιʀαcιҽs. Of which there are plenty in modern times.
