One day, when they had us lined-up for two shots, one of the medics was on sick call, so the one remaining medic did both shots--with a gun in each hand. Let us just say he was not nearly as steady with his left hand as he was with the right :/

I was going through intense Chemo in 2009. My oncologist said nothing to me. A personal friend, an infectious disease specialist told me to get the vaccine ASAP. My daughter who was in college at the time got the Swine flu along with most of her classmates. They were pretty sick for about a week and the college closed down. I was lucky and did not get the flu. I thank God there was not hysteria at the time.

I did state that the countries are interested in the election results, but it has no bearing on why Canadian newspapers are covering Canadian deaths and infection rates, and Dutch newspapers are covering Dutch deaths and infection rates.

Please give me your logic for this. I can't wait to hear this. I bet it is because of Bill Gates, and 5G too.

I can't wait to hear this.

You’re wasting your breath on our resident Trump-loather here who would be DELIGHTED to see Biden beat him on 11/3/20. Absolutely 100% DELIGHTED to see the Bad Orange Man go.

An opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal.
===============================================

Will a Face Mask Protect You?

By Marc Siegel

Should you wear a face mask? Medical authorities have sent confusing messages. Both the U.S. surgeon general and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention exhorted Americans not to wear masks in January and February, then reversed themselves in April. Mask wearing is now mandatory in many workplaces and public spaces, but how much good does it do? The science is inconclusive, but probably not much.

It’s generally understood that surgical and cloth masks—as distinct from N95 masks, designed to filter fine particles—offer little or no protection to the wearer. The purpose of the mandates is to protect others by ensuring the covering of the face of anyone who is infected. A study published in Nature Medicine in April looked at 246 people with acute upper respiratory illness and found that wearing a surgical mask did decrease spread of genetic material from respiratory viruses, including coronaviruses. The researchers concluded: “We also demonstrated the efficacy of surgical masks to reduce coronavirus detection and viral copies in large respiratory droplets and in aerosols. . . . This has important implications for control of COVID-19, suggesting that surgical face masks could be used by ill people to reduce onward transmission.”

Yet another April study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, revealed that the force of sick patients’ coughs propelled droplets through both surgical masks as well as cloth masks.

What about asymptomatic patients? The CDC based its revised mask recommendation on studies that found asymptomatic spread was far more common than had been thought. But there have been no studies on masks’ effectiveness in preventing it. Although the coronavirus is highly contagious, it is much less so than, say, measles, which can linger in the air for two hours after a cough. a sneeze or even speech. By contrast, the Covid-19 virus has not been proved to be aerosolized. Coronaviruses often enter the body through the eyes, and frequent hand and face washing and social distancing is much more effective than masks at preventing that. Wearing a mask seems harmless, but it could provide a false sense of security, leading people to take fewer precautions. According to the World Health Organization, self-contamination and reuse and or improper disposal of masks can also hinder their effectiveness and turn them into vehicles of spread.

There have even been questions about the effectiveness of N95 masks at protecting medical personnel. They’re considered effective at blocking coronavirus particles only when they’re form fitted and tested to make sure there isn’t any leakage. When I worked on a corona-virus ward, I felt much safer because I also wore a plastic face shield, which blocks viral particles from even reaching the mask.

So wear a mask if you must. But vigilant handwashing and social distancing will protect you much better.

For those unhappy being asked to wear masks in certain establishments, you most definitely don't want to travel on Ryanair. Well, really nobody should anyway!

Ryanair passengers will have to ask to use toilet when flights resume

After watching the general public's usage of masks for many weeks, I was, am now, and will likely remain convinced of this.

Medical professionals with some training may be using masks effectively to protect themselves in health care environments, but
JoeBlow and his sister SuzySneeze in public are worse than clueless.

Any of them who are shedding virus (sympto- or asymptomatically) have turned their masks into septic sponges of da 'rona laden, gloppy-wet reservoirs, suitable for transferring to door handles, gas pump handles, shopping carts, etc.

Was working in a Trader Joe's today, only had two small jobs scheduled today so I just sat for half an hour and watched people out of curiosity. I noticed people wearing gloves and masks, all of them. It was early bird hours and they were all seniors. Every single one of them were were not worrying about what they touched and I am sure had a false sense of security about it as a result of wearing the masks and gloves. Touching their phones, adjusting their masks, reaching into the pockets and purses. If the masks do provide any kind of protection then it wasn't to them because of cross contamination, so pointless.

I went to the grocery store and wore a paper surgical mask because it was 'required'.
It fogged up my glasses. I was aware that the mask made it MORE likely that I would touch my face.
Unless you can wear a mask without touching your face, I agree with those who think they are counter-productive.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Should've went with the custom mesh lingerie bag mask. Guaranteed not to fog up your glasses.

They’re a European airline with no destinations in the US. So yeah, not a problem.

There are about 10 corporations that run the worlds media. I'll help you out a little. They are heavily invested in by the Chicoms. They couldn't possibly have an agenda, because they are simply reporting facts right?
