    "But but but you can be asymptomatic and still spread it!"

    Meanwhile the provincial government here recently cited that less than 1% of tests performed on asymptomatic people came back positive. That is why they no longer test unless there's symptoms.

    And if they are on your ranch or farm they get shot to stop the spread to the herd.


    I volunteer!

    I live in Hampton Roads Virginia. In fact, I can see ships going in and out of the Elizabeth River from my apartment. We have been under a mandatory mask edict from the Governor for a while now. I have a Pulse Oxygen monitor I use when I take my vitals several times a day. I can tell a big difference in my oxygen percentage with and without wearing a mask. At home when I don't wear it my percentages are in the 92- 96 range. When I am wearing it and have been for longer than 30 minutes that percentage drops to the 84 - 88 range. I'm not going to get political here. However, I will be glad when this is all over if it ever does get over.

    Watch at around the 20 minute mark. He actually does the test.

    Yes, I know these meters have a history of being terribly inaccurate. The thing is even being inaccurate they still show my percentage 8 to 10 points lower. I also have confirmed this while having my vitals taken at the VA. In fact, the last time I had mine checked there they had to give me oxygen.

    Masks, social distancing, and lockdowns are pablum for those that are bereft of critical thinking skills and lack basic scientific knowledge that any high school biology student should posses.

    You CANNOT “defeat a virus” other than by a vaccine or being exposed to it.

    Or you don't give it anybody to latch onto. The masks are an attempt to keep it's spread rate down until we have better methods.
