Masks do not stop the virus BUT masks do block droplets and aerosols that carry the virus. The virus is minuscule vs the size of droplets and aerosols. One average size droplet carries thousands of virus particles.

All for a virus with a 99% survival rate.

I'm going to take a guess that you know thousands of people. You might not be friends with them all. Former employers, former schoolmates, old teachers, old neighbors, current neighbors, the check-out clerk at the supermarket, the bartender who makes your drink at the restaurant you frequent, etc. etc. Current friends, your immediate family, all your cousins, nieces/nephews, aunts, uncles, siblings, their spouses, your spouse's family, your kids, THEIR spouses, THEIR kids, etc. etc.

So I'm going to also guess that at least 100 of these people have contracted COVID-19, some time between January 2020 and today.

Do you know what that means?




It means at least one of those people you know is dead.


But that's okay since that dead person is only the 1%, right?

Wearing masks & other suggested Covid prevention measures are still suggested even if vaccinated because there are variants of the virus infecting people and it is possible to get infected with one of the variants. That’s the long story short.

Don't doubt it at all, but just curious, how did you find out, was it in the Daily Sun ? Curious because our only newspaper "seems to me ?"" does one lousy job of keeping us informed for the sake of safety. Just my opinion. Sad when one can't depend on our own local (looking after the best interests of its citizens as it should) newspaper can't be counted on !

It doesn't panic me if I am in the 10% group because I know I will not have moderate or severe symptoms or be hospitalized and die from Covid. That is the protection I believe I have and that has made me feel safe from dying of Covid.

The differences are small. Certainly not enough to worry about. The probability differences between being vaccinated and not being vaccinated is much greater than the differences in vaccines, either with one or two doses of Pfizer or Moderna compared with J&J.

Their newspaper doesn't exist to look out for the best interests of its citizens. Their newspaper exists as a vehicle to provide advertising for new homes to potential buyers and to promote the Villages. That's why the spin on the "impact fee TAX ON BUSINESSES" that isn't a tax on businesses at all. It's propaganda. If it's an "article" you can be 100% confident it's being spun to promote the Villages, even if it's loaded with half-truths, exaggerations, misdirection, deflection, and out and out lies. If it's a fluff piece, it's probably true, and missing any and all possible "downsides" to the topic, whatever it is.

The Daily Sun takes a very myopic view of the world. It reflects the "bubble" in which we all choose to live.

OK, fine, tell me what your point is.

Any idea what percent of the virus is attached to the moisture droplets? Any idea what percent of moisture droplets escape around a mask? I wore a mask in the operating room for around 38 years and had to tape the mask to the bridge of my nose to prevent my glasses from fogging. The fogging due to my breath. Not to mention moisture droplets that escape around the sides or bottom of the mask. OK trapping some of the virus in the mask is a very good thing, no argument there,
but what happens when you are done with the mask, most just place it in their purse, pocket or console of the car to be re-used over and over. Sorry I don’t have much faith in non N-95 masks that are properly fitted. Re-used masks could spread the virus and who uses a new properly fitted mask every time?

I can tell you for sure it's not on the Villages Charter Schools website. In fact, the ONLY reference to COVID-19 that I could find, was WAYYYYYYYY at the bottom of the "news" section of the site, all the way at the end, sandwiched within a list of links to random documents. It was just two PDF files from the state department of education, the most recent being a waiver of strict controls over re-opening the schools.

So much for the Villages caring about...

anyone at all.

If they really cared there would be a banner at the top of every single Charter School webpage, that contained a hyperlink to "current COVID policy" of the schools and a phone number to call in case you think your child might be infected, and any current or recent quarantines.

It is because they still want to control us....The goal posts will just keep on a moving....

And you are responding to someone else quoting misinformation?

That kind of an attitude results in fatalities. Please cease and desist with the fake news.

And those that have done their homework - over 56million in the US so far, are doing just fine without those conspiracy theory comments..

And, please quote sources if you make wild and outlandish claims ...
