This thread is deteriorating rapidly into a shitfest.

This thread was started a little over a year ago and only, just now, 668 pages later, it’s turning into a shitfest? I say congratulations SIGforumites on keeping a level headed attitude for about a year longer than the politicians and bureaucrats that started the COVID shitfest.

Jupiter you have never answered my INITIAL question regarding implied Medicare fraud. I really do not care about your opinion and I never brought Fauci into the discussion. I am opting out of responding to you because I do not feed trolls. And trapper is correct this thread is turning into a shitfest.

The virus is not a Hoax. The response is.

I'm sure many out there use the same mask, day after day, and seldom wash or replace.

I made this observation pages ago, along with the additional one that a VAST majority of folks are wearing masks that do NOTHING to inhibit more than large water droplets expelled by the wearer. Cloth masks, dust masks, designer masks with personal messages, artwork, cartoon characters, etc. are nearly WORTHLESS. PERIOD. Sorry for all the all-caps sentence enhancers, but I’m sick and tired of the silly bullshit.

For true effectiveness, a mask must be a REAL N95, REAL surgical mask, or filter mask with a successful fit test, not some “made in China” garbage off the shelf in Walmart. Even an N95 or surgical mask (again, with a fit test) is meant for single usage and must be destroyed after SUSPECTED exposure, which by now means any time you’re around people you don’t know their complete exposure history (in other words every single person). Anything else is kabuki theatre level control tactics.

I’ll just leave this here as one last reminder of the efficiency of masks in general before we even scratch the surface on re-use, or fit testing.


Maybe we should start making these, you know, just to be sure...

Just answer the question about Medicare payments please.

In case you haven't noticed, this thread is about far more that one topic. Simple pointing out another reason everyone should not believe this hoax or Fauci.

Now please answer my question. Did you edit the link to the video in your reply?

I really relish your post’s Jupiter. They always bring to mind the 17th century event in which the Religious leaders refused to look through Galileo’s telescope. Please carry on.

midwest guy,

Just to be clear, I'm not anti-vaccination. Just anti-corruption.
When it comes to vaccinations, I believe along the same lines as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr..
Maybe you've heard of him.

For many of us, much about this Covid-19 Plandemic doesn't add up. We like to point out interesting pieces of information the MSM doesn't want you to see.

You seem to have bought into it and that's fine. That is YOUR decision.

^^^^^^

Gearhounds,

I agree with your mask chart completely and appreciate your posting it. People on both sides of the issue like to lump all "masks" together as if they are the same. Not even close. They range from very effective to useless with the latter being most used by the general public. Of course, wearing an N95 below your nose makes it just as useless as a bandana, so user technique definitely comes into play.

The comment about single use isn't quite correct, though. N95s are considered "disposable" but are not labeled as single use. Exposure requires more than casually passing an unknown individual in a store.

The only alteration I’ll make to this is that you are supposed to change your mask if you are in an environment where there is a chance you’ve been exposed. You can continue to wear a properly fit mask, but you should not re-use it, making it essentially a single use mask limited only by the time worn. If you don’t get into a possibly compromised environment is the only time you should be reusing even an N95 mask.

^^^^^^

I'm not going to argue this further other than to say that N95s are used all day every day by health care workers who are "potentially" exposed all the time. I am among them. We protect the surface of the mask from direct fluid impact by wearing a shield, but the outside of the mask definitely gets contaminated. That's where proper technique comes in.

At this time, the only reasons you'd discard an N95 are:

Fluid contamination

Loss of fit due to elastic stretch

Exposure to a KNOWN Covid positive patient

Did you watch the video from my org. post on page 667? Your answer can be found at the 14:44 mark in the video regarding Medicare payments.
Fauci is discussed all through the video.

Of course you are.

My God, man, get a hold of yourself. Last I checked, no one is being robbed, beaten or murdered. I haven't even seen any profanity.
Loosing an argument doesn't mean the thread is turning into a shitfest.

That pretty much sums it up right there, in my opinion.

I have never heard any of the public officials mention vitamin D3. Your ability to make vitamin D3 through your skin declines with age.

Also other hormones decline such as DHEA, melatonin, pregnenolone, growth hormone, and progesterone. It has been shown that persons with Alzheimer's have low levels of melatonin.

I don't know about you, but I've had the forum software truncate links I've posted, when another post is quoted. You can see it happen when you hover over a link, and it displays [...] in the middle of the link. So perhaps he didn't edit it, I don't know...

Regardless, it seems there are a lot of people extremely invested in being "right" at any cost.

IF that's the case, I offer my humble apology.

As of 1/27/2021. When will he be held accountable? Why isn't the Biden* Plan working?

Donated blood on Sunday. Today my results show positive for Covid antibodies. Yep, I had a 3 day cold in November.

@feersum:

That's about 3300/day. The geek in me is curious to look back through the history and start a graph. How long will it take to trend downward?

~2 months at about this rate, if this oracle is to be believed...

Isn't around 3K a day the standard death rate in the U.S. for the past ten years?

Hey, you guys who have refused to wear a mask so far are about to fall even further behind...Falsi says you need to start wearing 2 masks now. If one mask is good, two is even better!

I've got a better idea - take a couple of garbage bags and wrap them around your head and tie them really tight. No virus will penetrate or escape...Voila, I've solved the pandemic!! Falsi is going to steal my idea.

Dr. Fauci: Double-masking makes ‘common sense’ and is likely more effective

WOW - I really thought you were joking for a second. I am off to bang my head against the wall.

This is not photoshopped, they are actually going for the triple mask now:


They left off plastic bag, which is 100% Efficient!!

NOT JUST NO....BUT HELL NO...AND SCREW YOU FAUCI!I was finally able to return to work this week and must wear one inside, and now they even try to require it to walk from the car into the building. I may not have a choice but to wear it in the building but I'll be damned if I will wear it outside or be told by this snake oil salesman and fraud Fauci that I have to wear two or three.
