Somewhere between hugs with strangers and hazmat suits is where you'll find me

I saw a group of five standing about 2 feet from each other talkin and talkin all wearing masks if you can't maintain six feet at the post office then wear your mask. You shouldn't even be standing less than 6 feet away when you are wearing a mask.

I do not see why you would have to wear a mask outdoors where you are usually pretty far away from others. I have seen people wearing masks under their chin, under their nose, totally ineffective and the cloth masks are pretty much useless since viruses are so small they can enter through the holes of a cotton mask easily. So, if you believe that you can eliminate 100 per cent of the risk, you are fooling yourself.

I wonder if people simply dont know where to get them. Please contact me at janet1769@gmail.com if you need them. I have made hundreds for very happy customers. Mine are comfortable, colorful and machine washable. They are a nominal cost of $3.00 each.
STAY WEL!

We should be working a plan to collect all the unused mask and making a memorial sculpture to honor all the medical personnel who put their life’s on the line for us.

Most of us want to get back to living and we’ll take our chances just like we have done with any other virus. That 5% that have severe underlying conditions obviously may choose to continue avoiding people?
I don’t know where you get your information—but every infectious disease doctor on every TV channel, including FOX has said that this virus is deadly, confusing and dangerous. They have said that it is nothing like any virus we have seen before.

It’s deadly primarily to a subset of adults 70 and over that have underlying conditions. To 95% of us it may be less deadly than the flu. If you choose to remain paranoid then understand that it is your choice? But you don’t get to control other people!

I go for a walk before 8 am to get my mail and area is pretty empty. Why in the world do I need a mask if I always stay 6 ft away from anyone walking by?

I am amazed to see people driving by in cars or golf carts wearing masks.

Maybe we should give them 40 lashes? Or maybe a medal for not being a sheeple that believes everything our government says. A number of scientists and doctors say that wearing a mask inhibits your immune system as well as diminishes "herd immunity". This has been a "manufactured crisis" and is nothing more than a trial run to see how much opposition there would be for total government control. Apparently not much.
