You know, if you don’t eat, you will starve to death. The fact that you are now alive does not mean that eating was unnecessary.

SMH

If by "taking action" you mean that people who worked in the computer tech field spent Dec 31 1999 at work monitoring their systems to see if calamity would strike at the stroke of midnight (it didn't)...then, yeah, they took action.

Tammy K. Herrema is actively involved with the Stand Up Michigan group which supported the armed right wing groups demanding the reopening of the state of Michigan. She is NOT a medical professional and medical advice should be coming from medical professionals, not people with a political narrative and no medical experience. She should be fired from O.S.H.A. if she already has not been.

I could make a video saying that I am a Doctor or a Priest and put it up on You Tube. I bet some would foolishly believe me and take any advice I give as gospel.

Relying on YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, etc. for news or reality is truely a fools errand

I’d rather be 90% safe than 0% safe.

I stuff mine with medicinal and aromatic herbs. (Love the Rosemary) Keeps the stench and virus at bay. It’s a little bulky but it works. Kinda looks like a long beaked bird. You know the thing. Like the masks they wore during the plagues of the 14th century.

We were told that cloth masks might catch some of the moisture droplets from the air. It was always claimed the virus could get through. It still might offer some protection.
The real reason for a mask is to protect others from your breath droplets.

...we've used facemasks for years now - especially making withdrawls when "banking".

Spores do not travel alone.

Fact check: N95 filters are not too large to stop COVID-19 particles

Now people put on their seat belts without a second thought. After many years of sear belt use it's been proven that seat belts save lives.

Think of a mask as an early seat belt and save lives.

Very good post. You are spot on!!!

I wonder if she taught them to put masks on their guns, or silencers.
