Elections are coming up so will Covid restrictions. Facts about Covid? There were no valid facts over the last 3 years, or let’s say they didn’t want the public to know the real facts. You had states and medical institutions Over-exaggerate stats to gain money and use for power purposes, this has been proven. It’s been proven paper masks don’t work, on and on. Sure people got sick, some people died (happens everyday), but I had medical friends go in for a check up or for an ailment, the dr/hospital put down Covid related.

Just watch, you will start hearing more about Covid restrictions/mandates during this next year.

Why live in fear

Not sure why anyone doesn't know this by now, but coughing, sneezing, and even speaking generates droplets that can come in contact with others within a certain range. That's why the 6 feet "safe" radius. A number of tests were done, one on this short video below, showing those lovely droplets spreading out. So wearing the mask does help to a degree, and to be most effective it should be used by all around not just one wearer in a sea of non-wearers. It ain't gonna help much if you're the mask wearer and someone without one is talking or sneezing in the air close to you. That's pretty much how airborne diseases spread. So that's why all the mandate stuff.

The ranting and raving from the deliberately obtuse is both entertaining and fascinating. Education is a wonderful thing.

I DO NOT want to inhale that and an N95 mask is perfect for that situation. But I typically have it hanging from one ear and only put it on if I know I'm going to do that procedure.

I haven't worn a mask in public since the mask mandates were lifted and I only did it then to comply with the venues I wanted to enter. I figured their place, their rules...
Actually it was the government's rules

I lead a very active lifestyle but I am cautious at the same time. Why invite trouble? A few small changes are not a problem.

Not sure you would prefer employee shortages when you need hospital care, correct?
No, you reported what someone else said…MASKS ARE A JOKE! Always were and there is abundant research to support that view. IF you’ll listen to actual scientists and NOT the government.

It’s a cold. Spend your life if fear. Go ahead. Is it fun?
