    Its not just source control. Its the fact that healthy people do not need to be wearing a face covering for hours and hours a day breathing in everything they exhale.

    What? Sorry you lost me. I was saying for years anytime I’ve went to the dr when I was sick nobody and I mean nobody wore a mask anywhere. I called for a sick visit and nobody thought twice about it.

    My point was they weren’t told to be scared so they weren’t. Now they have been told to be scared and they are. Do you know the schools have a percentage that is set if they reach it during flu season they will close? Why don’t they just wear masks???

    I have no problem with anyone doing anything they want to that’s what’s called freedom just don’t impose your beliefs on me. If a business wants people to wear masks good. But don’t tell the other one they can’t open. See how that works.

    Yea I know I’ve read it from the medical staff people “well then don’t come to the hospital when you get sick”. Ok how about you don’t get any food or gas or whatever you want to name. Grow your own, make your own and so forth.

    And here's the issue I have with a business telling people to wear a mask or dont enter. The majority of people dont want to rock the boat or stand up to bs rules, most of it out of fear of being alienated. So they just go along to get along, then feel emboldened when others do the same. After awhile, they start to believe what they're doing is right, then if someone says different they're the ones who's wrong because "Ive been doing it this way and haven't gotten sick".

    So devil's advocate. If it's a hoax BUT you could save just 1 persons life. Is it worth it?

    Funny how talk of masks automatically gets political. How one must be following some nonexistent cult, led by the OrAnGe mAN bAd.. LoL

    I love how the so called "tolerant, accepting of all, & non-judgemental lefty's" keep telling me "I'm brainwashed following a cult." o_O

    Yet 9 out 10 "news" media sources will literally, word for word say the exact same propaganda over & over again 24/7. Whose the ones being brainwashed.? When 9 out 10 are trying to shove sheet down your throat, all while literally trying to silence the opposition, don't you think the ones trying to convey the opposite just might be on the right track..?

    It takes courage to stand up with a difference of opinion. It shouldn't. Conservative leaning persons have to tread so lightly, even in fear that they can be "outed" for a difference of political opinion. Might lose there jobs, friends, be attacked physically, & emotionally. All because a difference of opinion.? When one side is violent, assault, looting, arson, just straight up crime & their leaders support it.?! It's because they got no real argument..

    Is the right side perfect.? No.. But they seem to be ones still on planet Earth at the moment. The left ideas are so far out, it's not even funny anymore..

    As for this mask nonsense. Some dip-sheet company in Tampa tried to tell me to wear one while tying down my load outside, 50 feet from anyone, in 100°f+.. Ha!, not happening.. In doors if the business requires it. Fine, I'll deal..

    Same here in Hillsboro, Tx last Monday. Fat lady inside the building in AC handing me paperwork through a window, tells me I have to have a mask on everywhere except in my truck. I politely asked her if she'd like to come pull my tarps off with me in 102 deg heat while wearing her mask. She declined.

    Of all the times in your whole life that you got a communicable disease, what percentage of them do you believe were transmitted to you intentionally?

    I have not had anyone tell me to mask up outside. That's nonsense as far as I can see. Unless I'm facing the shack window or the forklift guy I can't see how it applies. I wear my turtleneck thing or my bandito bandana when I'm in a building. I pull it down when I leave the building. If someone approaches me to talk I will pull it back up if it seems like they are going to get close.
    No stress here.

    I typically ignore US media. It panders to sheep and Kardashian watchers. More sports!!! That's the ticket... I've said previously I left TV in 2002.
    Canadian, European, al Jazeera, some RT, JAMA, Lancet, new England journal of medicine, I try to vette my info.
