Summary of the data
I had a visual which clearly represented the situation in a clear and logical way. Since I cannot duplicate the visual part exactly, I will summarize the message. There are 3 situations depicted.
1. Carrier w/o mask to healthy contact w/mask: probability of transmission = 70% 2. Carrier w/mask to healthy contact w/o mask: probability of transmission = 5% 3. Carrier w/mask to healthy contact w/mask: probability of transmission = 1.5% Conclusion: It is best when both parties wear a mask; it is best to stay away from anyone not wearing a mask. This is particularly true in this county (Sumter) which has the highest median age in the country. |

I was in Barnes & Nobles at LSL yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon and the place had a decent amount of people shopping. There was about ten people waiting in line to pay when I suddenly heard a woman in line started yelling at another woman a few feet away who was browsing, "Get Away From Me, you don't have a Mask". Then everyone in line starting saying yelling at the woman without the mask and then her husband came over, who didn't have a mask and he started yelling back. Then three employees came over and we had about 20 people all yelling, I was waiting for the cops to come, but it finally ended when the employees gave the couple masks and they put them on.

They help if you are wearing on and you sneeze and/or cough. Just like washing your hands often.
It’s a tool to use for your own protection, just like washing. I personally don’t want to be a carrier and spread it to others. I would at least like to lessen the impact of my self being transferring any germs. Yes. There are still germs! Nothing man made is 100%!! But it is a tool like so many others that a person could use. Why is this so hard for people to understand? The point is to lessen the chances for everyone, not a me- me -me mentality. Again, nothing man made has ever been 100%. |

All random numbers drawn out of a hat. We know nothing about the flu yet. Maybe next year this time.

"Once there is an effective vaccine or an effective treatment for Covid"
Like the HIV cure that's been around for decades. lol Covid spreads by direct contact. So does HIV. Condoms are still sold by the millions/billions not only to prevent kids you know. Last edited by nututv; 06-24-2020 at 11:33 AM. |

I was at the Sharon Morse center with my wife this morning (she had an appointment) I sat outside for about an hour and a half half just enjoying the outside fresh air (for the most part). I observed many people going in and coming out of the center. A sign posted on the door stating "masks are requested" I'm pleased to report that almost everyone had a mask on. I'm pleased to know that so many people have the respect for OTHER people that they wore masks. I'm probably not a carrier (no symptoms and have practiced SD for over 3 months now) but I wear a mask just in case, because I respect your health and well being. I wish others would respect my health and well being in the same manner.

Mask hysteria
As of this morning July 1, 2020 the state of Florida is reporting 145,000 cases of coronavirus. 3400 deaths. Do the math that is hovering just above above 2%. The annual flu kills 60,000 people a year in the United States approximately 1% die of influenza every year so this Caronavirus’ death rate is going lower and lower every day. As for myself I have no intentions of wearing a mask. I will honor social distancing I will not come near you, hug you or kiss you or blow in your direction, or shake your hand. If you feel that you want to live in a cocoon and not go to restaurants, if you want to look ridiculous and wear your mask while you’re driving around by yourself in your car with your air-conditioning on you go right ahead as far as I am concerned I am going to live my life normally and if I was to get this virus I am very confident that I will be one of the 98% that will fully recover from it. Years from now they’re going to look back at this and realize how absolutely ridiculous the reaction was to this Virus. Throughout history there has been outbreaks of viruses never have Americans ever reacted like this before.

Can you imagine if the scene you describe had been recorded and was out all over the world, like the last infamous TV encounter, now seen by millions. By the way, Meta Minton was interviewed a couple of days ago on “All Things Considered.” If you Google Meta Minton and NPR, you will find the transcript, along with a 3-minute listen. The interviewer asks her also about how TV is handling the virus. |
