    People focus way too much on masks and not nearly enough on handwashing. You are correct.

    It’s amusing the funny looks I get while utilizing the hand sanitizer out everywhere by people wearing their masks and touching their faces 3 times per minute.

    Like he’s going to die so why does he care about keeping his hands sanitized? haha

    It's a respiratory illness through airborne transmission. All the hand sanitizer in the world won't prevent a respiratory illness spread through the air.

    The most disgusting thing I have seen during this covid nonsense.

    I was at the TA in Seffner, Florida.

    The driver was walking into the TA, but didn't have a mask. So he looks around and picks up a used disposable mask from the pisslot, puts it on his face, and then walks into the TA.

    I almost barfed.

    But wearing a mask or “face covering” is like trying to keep mosquitoes out with a chain link fence. Literally. How many people have you saw actually sneeze into their mask? Talk about needing a face diaper change after! Heck even President 46 pulls his mask down to cough into his hand.

    So, while people are touching the credit card touch pads after 100’s of others, grabbing door handles, etc etc then I’ll continue to socially distance myself and barely touch these things while keeping myself clean.

    Like I said, I don’t know a single non masker who has had covid off the top of my head. I know at least a dozen mask wearers who have. I’ll keep doing it my way. At a certain point the experts are morons and common sense has to kick in.

    I think I'll trust the experts over a trucker with limited ( most likely confirmation bias) evidence. Common sense would dictate this.

    I don't deny some people die of Covid-19. The big con being played is that it is somehow a grave risk to healthy people under the age of 75. Unhealthy people in their 7th or 8th decade tend to die of something. Nothing new there.

    You mean the people who are now saying wear two masks? I bet you'll bend over for that special test from China too, so long as an "expert" tells you to.

    Trust your instincts and common sense. Do a few minutes of research if you feel compelled but don't blindly trust anybody. The experts have lied to you about many things. They have their own reasons for doing so.
