CDC is not recommending Americans take a poison pill, this is a blankity-blank paper mask, how in the world did we get here, hmmmmm!, I wonder. Remember, when we all lined up like little soldiers to take our polio shot, ahhh, those were the days!

Okay.....They DID NOT bring the child to the bar/restaurant....repeat DID NOT.
The child was left home with grandma and the couple was out for a date nite with friends. There are numerous people....including the waitress at the establishment who are confirming the facts are true.

That’s good to know. The child was safe.

That is a bare faced lie!!!! The couple left on their own, and have not contacted a lawyer. The owner of the bar confirmed on the local news it did in fact happen. As far as race.....they're both white. Of course if you actually knew what you were reporting you would know that. You made something up and now you're.....BUSTED!!!!!!:ho:

So how did these rocket scientists figure that wearing a mask in a restaurant would protect their baby????

Yep, I got it, they THINK a mask will protect them from getting COVID and therefore keep the kid safe.

Well, like I said above---Darwin award winners.

Do you mean to say that they should stay in their house forever without going out for anything, just living off the government because they can't go to work. Be serious they have every right to go out. If they want to wear a mask it is their privilege. It looks to me as if the restaurant didn't want to serve them either because of the mask (political discrimination) or their ethnic background (ethnic discrimination).

They conflated this story with the one, I think in NYNY.

Never said they had to stay in their house. I said it was quite foolish of them to think that they were protecting themselves and by proxy their baby by wearing a mask. The restaurant is private property and can make a no mask policy if they want. Not serving someone violating their policy is NOT "political discrimination", and as long as they enforce their rule equally against anyone with a mask it is NOT "ethnic discrimination"

How many times do we have to go over and over the same thing??????

Not sure why you are blaming, Texas has nothing to do with it, it could of happened anywhere.
It's the owner of the bar they went to that was the issue. Rowlett is also a small town, so who knows.

You should read some of the links to the reporting on this,,,,,,,,will make your posts sound more intelligent

Yeah, tell me about it. You would think after correcting some people 4 or 5 times they would get it, but alas, they have their pig-headed notions firmly entrenched and are fully equipped with blinders and earplugs to the facts.

That is not true. There are people who are against mandatory masking...

and there are people who are against masking, period. THOSE are the "anti-mask" crowd.

They exist, obviously - since this restaurant owner is one of them.

Last year the sheriff of Ocala ordered that no one was ALLOWED to wear a mask in his offices, not employees or visitors. Mask-wearing was prohibited. You didn't have a choice. If you wanted to wear a mask, you could wear it outside, but not inside.

That was another anti-masker that made the national news.

There've been many. I actually had one accost me at Publix when I worked there, yelling at me to take my mask off and that I was going to make everyone else sick because my germs were just building up on the mask and would spread to everyone whenever I breathed. The manager had to step in.

There are nuts everywhere.

That the great thing about America.... freedom of choice. Applies to both the restaurant owner as well as the patrons. BTW, why would anyone take a compromised child to a public restaurant?

See post #82, and about half a dozen others that state the child was at home with grandparents. Reading a thread-------it's not just for breakfast any more:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

They didn't, but they didn't want to bring virus home to child.

But their misconception was that a mask would prevent that, which it wouldn't. And I still think they picked the wrong restaurant, perhaps to make some sort of statement.

Viral load and Covid 19
 
Wearing a mask offers protection albeit less in a restaurant because you take it off to eat. The key is the viral load or how much Covid enters your nose and mouth. Covid enters through the nose and mouth and if you are vaccinated your body begins immediately fighting the virus. So most people who are vaccinated will fight off the Covid virus before it travels to the lungs. Same with the polio vaccine. It enters the body but if you are vaccinated the disease does not spread to your brain and spinal cord. Hence you don't suffer the effects of polio. The greater the viral load the more your body has to work to fight it off. Everyone should have a right to protect themselves and if they want to wear a mask they should be able to wear a mask. If you have a relative or a close friend who has a compromised immune system as in my case a sister in law who is receiving treatment for cancer then by all means order take out. Do not go to restaurants and other crowded public places where you take off your mask. You can get Covid in your nose and mouth that you can spread even if you are vaccinated. The viral load will be less than a non vaccinated person but when being near a loved one who is immune compromised you want to be as safe as possible. And shame on any place that does not allow people to protect themselves by wearing a mask. My gosh they say it is ok to bear arms but you can't wear a mask to keep from getting a deadly virus. What gives????

Probably because a mask will not prevent you from getting a deadly virus. That's 1+ year old news.

Bearing arms won't prevent you from getting a deadly virus either. And in fact, it won't prevent anyone from walking up behind you in a restaurant and shooting you through the skull. IN FACT - it'll make it a lot easier for that shooter to do, since he's allowed to bear arms.

Proven cheaters and liars which reflect’s on their ability to be unbiased when reporting there news opinions. :)

We can suspect other news sources, but when you caught there no doubt.:icon_wink:

We, including me, are in a state of confusion. No matter what your OPINION is we find others to agree as well as others to disagree.
We've taken two Physer vaccines. Last week I asked my doctor if we should take a third. He is not allowed or does not want to take the time to say DUH I DON'T KNOW. I assume all will get the same information. A trip to the grocery store where we are forced to get our drugs. They are pretty good. I just find it weird to get drugs there. We were told they cannot give your the third shot they will get instructions early Oct. My point the people in medicine do not know what to do. Imagine a restaurant.

What I think you meant to say is that YOUR doctor doesn't know. All other well informed doctors do know what to do. The information is readily available to them (and you) at CDC and Johns Hopkins.

Is it your position that a mask won't give you 100% protection, or that a mask won't offer any protection at all?
Does it matter what type of mask one wears?
Also, whose science are you choosing to believe?

Laker14 09-25-2021 03:57 AM

there is no law preventing the owner of this restaurant from being a jackass. He was well within his rights to be a jackass, so he chose to be a jackass.
Given the number of jackasses in the population, he will likely gain more patrons from being a jackass than he will lose.
Nice business model.
