Speak Your Mind.

Masks will not keep you from catching covid, not even the 95 or 94 rated ones. There are still 5 or 6% of the bugs getting thru. But research shows that how sick you get depends upon the viral load you're exposed to ... were you exposed to 100 of the germs or 1000 of them? So the emphasis is not stopping it, but mitigating it's effects.

Masks to me are a sign of community, we're in it together and lets do what we can even if it's not perfect. Like Gen 18, if my wearing a mask saves only one person from severe sickness or death, I'll do it. Jesus would have gone to the cross for only one. So for me to say "it won't save enough to be worthwhile" seems sorta unBiblical

but covid is in the air guys; the air in marketplaces and business buildings outside your comfort zone. I got covid from breathing the air at a Costco marketplace and I wasn't wearing a mask because I thought I was too far from the car by the time I remembered then I thought I was doing a quickie by running in and out of the store as I did my shopping then later that night I felt a burning sensation on the walls of my throat it burned like hell then it went away then it slowly did its work as the days passed by and it came back as a "cold" then Sunday I lost my taste and smell and as my sis was testing me with her home kit I tested positive and I was losing my breath I thought I was gonna choke to death then I thought of my fam members who get seriously sick from covid and how it affects their lungs (because they're alcoholic) so then I thought nah I don't drink that much so my lungs should be ok. (One uncle from my mom's side died btw) so then I went to sleep and the next morning I woke up breathing better but with the same symptoms and here I am still waiting to be normal again but im treating it like a cold so I'm taking DayQuil which helps a lot. And I also called my doctor and they don't have spaces available right now but they will give me a call as soon as they can. Darn I also missed my dentist appt. But im ok I don't have fever and im breathing better I'm just quarantined for a while. JUST WEAR YOUR MASK there's no quickies.

WHO WAS THAT MASKED MAN?

oh, it was Blain, just being politically correct..........

Your right there is no quickies but not because of the masks but because there is not going to be a normal again this whole covid situation is about control not about health and science has proven the masks don't help and that the vaccines don't do any good in fact most cases of covid now are those who are vaccinated.

I read an online prayer: it started in China @posthuman can maybe calculate how much and how fast can covid travel per distance. Anyway, if it wasn't real then why is there no cure like with the other viruses there should be something but I can understand it might take them a while ;/

the vaccine is worse than the virus imo.

well a typical passenger jet travels around 550mph, and respiratory diseases are transferred person-to-person so there's your answer.
((jejeje))

@Blain the masks are effective just not 100% preventative. same concept as sneezing into your elbow vs. sneezing into someone's face.
also i think 'vaccine' probably isn't the right word, because we don't have something like a polio vaccine yet where, you take this shot, you won't get polio -- what we have is a rushed-to-market set of shots that will help a person not have the virus as badly as if they had no shot. because the point is, and has always been, if we do nothing then potentially the hospitals are overrun with patients and no one is at work at all because everyone is sick. what we have is a bunch of half-measures that heck yeah don't add up to a cure but that doesn't mean none of them are helpful just because none of them are a 100% cure.

i'm not going to refuse medical help for a bullet wound just because medical help didn't prevent me from getting a bullet wound in the first place. i'm gonna have a scar. i can take steps to stop myself from dying from it. that doesn't mean the not-die-from-it steps are useless, just because i still have a scar

i'm not sure.
i have been vaccinated for sure, and only has a sore arm for a couple days, because someone put a needle in my shoulder.
i may or may not have had the virus - i'm not going to get tested and find out - but i have had what was no different than a regular mild cold . maybe that's because i have been regularly taking a lot of immune-system-boosting vitamins for years, maybe because all i actually had was a common cold or seasonal allergies, maybe because the i did have some covid variant and the vaccine was helpful -- who knows? unless i go get some bloodwork done for the presence of antibodies, i won't know. i don't really care.

what is worse, IMO, is how politicized the whole thing has become. people are under-reacting because politics, and other people are over-reacting because politics, and a lot of people who used to care about the Bible now spend all there time reading vaccine-conspiracy pages instead, and imagine it's a 'christian' thing to do.

it'd be great if we could get back to some sense of normalcy. btu even if i think it's gone crazy i'm not going to make myself a lawbreaker just because i'm not convinced some things are useful or necessary. at my work, we've gone back to requiring masks all day when we're near others. what do i look like if i refuse to? i look like someone who disregards authority. am i being hurt by it? nope. in fact my nose stays warm. is it a rule that makes sense? who cares -- it doesn't necessarily make sense that i have to also wear safety glasses whenever i'm under a 6,000lb hunk of metal either ((i mean how does that help?)) but guess what -- i complied with that rule too, because likewise, it's not 'attacking my religion' and it's not 'infringing on my rights' -- it's just one more piece of PPE i have to keep up with.

i'm tired of it for sure. and i question how much good it does. but is it Christian of me to ignore the laws and rules just because i think they're a bit unnecessary? no -- that's not Christianity. that's every-man-make-his-own-laws. the Bible tells me to obey the authorities, not to call conspiracy what everyone calls conspiracy, and not to go along with people who want to overthrow the government. so i do what's asked of me, like a servant -- yes, like a sheep. no one is ordering me to disavow my faith - they're asking me to help prevent the spread of disease. is washing my hands after i blow my nose, or staying home when i'm sick anti-God? wow, no! it's common decency!

overall i'm like, who cares -- live with it -- remember when we used to talk about Jesus?

Almost everything is politicized now til those who are truth seekers go by prayer, facts and those dying around us.

Oh trust me if I had a choice I wouldn't wear one but that is the thing about living in a facility your rights don't matter
