Covid.. your opinion....

Let me be clear, I was not ignoring this question. I had not logged on since you asked it.

No I wouldn’t be happy. There is a massive difference between having your body opened up and being in an open parking lot and not wearing a mask. Let me ask you this, is it ok for a surgeon to wear a mask but not gloves or a bunny suit? Again, surgery, body being open etc.

So I ask what people thought of that article I posted, and because I even question whether masks are effective or not, it means I’m anti mask? I’ve never once been reminded to wear a mask during this pandemic (thanks to the Chinese Government for not warning the world ASAP) because I have been required to wear one at work since last March and stores require them. I understand a business sets policies and I respect them. If I don’t like it, I simply won’t shop there.

Respect for a legit answer. Apologize for assuming you ignored it.

Not a problem. Btw I’ve mentioned on here somewhere, I think it’s the coronavirus thread in the politics section, that I wear masks also due to the fact that they could be super effective. I just am not sure. In confined spaces? I’d bet on it. When you’re sick as hell and coughing or sneezing all the time? Yep, helps there too. I’ve had to remind people that during flu season if you have a doctor appointment and have symptoms or a cough etc, they request you wear a mask prior to arrival. This applies to having an appointment for strep throat symptoms too. So masks aren’t new in that aspect.

But sometimes I feel like what if masks are just to make people feel like they’re doing something, when in reality it makes no difference if you aren’t sick. People would freak the hell out if we were told there is nothing you could do.
 
Do I think masks are foolproof? Absolutely not
Do I think they help? Absolutely

Same goes for social distancing, lockdowns (to an extent), and a general increasing of clean health practices.

However, the BIGGEST deterrent to the spread is where we have failed the most... and that's being responsible about tracking exposures and self quarantining... I have had a coworker take his son to get tested (because he lost his sense of smell and taste), then text us that his kid was positive... and then he went to work the next day. LIKE, WTF? You literally have your child, in your house, in your car, etc... confirmed positive, and you come to work the next day?

That's not what the data says. We did all that, got a huge spike anyways. So bad that DC is telling us to lockdown again. The stuff we are doing today, we were doing when the spike occurred. It didn't stop much of anything. How many businesses should be bankrupted because it might work? Because data says it didn't. Whitmer and the dems have been lying the whole time. They never knew, it's always been a guess. They guessed wrong.

I have had 3 times in the last school year where one of my kids sat within 6ft of a kid who tested positive. So they sit all day by this kid, now they have to stay home for 2 weeks because of close contact. The health department tells me that my wife, other kids and myself can go to school and work because we are considered 3rd party contact, even after spending all weekend around our close contact kid. However the kid who tested positive is allowed to return to school after 10 days.

So I drop my kid off at school, at the principal is asking me questions about if my kid had any symptoms during their quarantine. I said nope, she must be asymptomatic. The look on her face was epic.

Just curious, did your employer know prior to him showing up? Did he attempt to call off but was told to come in?

One thing I can say is maybe hand washing as a whole is more popular after all this shit.

Did you get your kid tested?

Nope, no symptoms. Michigan health department said no need to unless symptoms start happening.

Seems like the mask wearing worked [emoji2371]

My kid also was notified that the student he sat next to in music class had tested positive. We all got tested. None of us had it. Score three more for mask wearing [emoji106]

The kid who tested positive was one of the 6 kids who are on the track team that is tested weekly. All 6 kids had no symptoms prior to testing for the track meets that week. Sadly all the mask praisers where I work have all gotten it, some twice but not one no mask person has been out with Covid or any symptoms. Not sure why if masks work....

My buddies wife in on like day 8 or 9 with it. They’ve been sleeping in the same bed kissing and having sex nightly. Strangely he just got tested and results are negative. My doctor told me the only way you get covid is if someone sneezes/coughs or spits right in your face. My buddy and his wife have been swapping bodily fluids from before she new she had it and all the way through yet he doesn’t get it. I’ve talked to so many other people who were in the same situation. The wife or husband gets it and the other partner doesn’t. Even though they continue to sleep together nightly. We have people at work who work in small offices together 8-12hrs a day. Small like 10ft by 15ft maybe. About 4-5 of them in there. 1 guy gets it and leaves work. Next day they kick everyone out of that office and send them home. All get tests a few days later and none were positive. Nobody wears masks either. How you actually get this or don’t get this virus confuses the crap out of me.

Yep, that has been the problem all along. We still don't really know. A bunch of people think they know - some in this thread - but the truth is nobody knows. Covid is like a Tornado - it will knock down a house, and then leave the house next to it untouched. And science still doesn't know why.

LOL... I’d have a hard time believing anything from anybody who says he’s having sex EVERY night with his wife [emoji23]

I wouldn’t believe it either if he wasn’t hanging out with me, and his wife calls and says “get home now and lay that pipe” lmao. I’ve never heard someone say that and mean it in real life lol. He looked at me and said “well, I gotta go”.
