Question about The Masks

I've had it at least 4 times that I know of. The first time I got a heavy dose of the viral load, had to sit in a very small conference room talking to my AP for an hour when she was very sick. As a result I was in bed for two weeks, and it took me months to recover. Later I got Omicron and it was trivial. Then I got terribly sick with a third one but drank several glasses of HCQ and didn't miss a day of work. Then this last week everyone in my family came down with this latest variant. My wife got exposed to some lady at work who got Covid. This was not trivial, but was very minor compared to my first version of Covid.

We learned several things from Covid. Everyone who went to the ICU was deficient in Vitamin D, so hiding in your house away from the sun is not a smart move. If you have to be inside, take vitamin D.

Also, all those super spreader events known as MAGA rallies were not super spreader events. The virus is weakened and killed in sunlight. But inhaling weakened or dead virus is a very good vaccine, much better than the mRNA one they want to give you. So all those people going to those rallies were almost certainly exposed but didn't get sick.

Quercetin and Zinc is a powerful way to strengthen your immune system.

HCQ is very effective when you first feel you are coming down with something. Guzzle it the first day or two.

If you do get very sick you better make sure you get Ivermectin.

Okay so here's the problem here with "results".
Depending on which team you're on, if i or John give you some results then you will dismiss them as left-wing biased propaganda.
And if you give me some results, i will dismiss them as right-wing biased propaganda.
So where is the truth then?
This is why i was trying to keep the convo at the common-sense level not at the technical level.
Common sense tells you that when you have a barrier in your face you prevent someone from sneezing on you and getting their saliva.

This is also a pure fashion choice and i love using the word fashion here because think of it as someone wearing a tie at the office.

Now the general sentiment here is that most people don't have a problem with what people wear in their face or their neck but they have a problem with mandates and in response to that i said that complaining doesn't do much except maybe venting a little and getting it off your chest - that's helpful actually.

So you dispute the facts that Max gave?

Listen I may not have an inside like y'all but I have a mother who was a nurse. When all this began they had a woman on the NBC news who worked in the medical field at a local hospital. She was demonstrating masks. The mask she worse was so tight it left marks on her face when she took it off. She put the mask on and they sprayed something that was scented toward her. She explained that if she could smell anything, the mask wasn't the proper fit and it would not protect. There is no way, utterly no way the masks we were wearing was preventing anything. That's not bias, that's common sense. People were wearing scarves, shirts over their face, and just flat out improperly. But even if it was done properly these masks just do not work. That has already been admitted. The same thing with social distancing. Doctor Birx said in her book most of this was just a guess. Again, common sense tells you that. If it was that serious people wouldn't have been allowed to go and protest all summer.

No it's not like a tie at all. It covers your face and your expressions, it muffles your speech and makes you difficult to hear. It's especially hard on children to wear or to communicate with others who are wearing them. No, it's not like fashion at all.

I didn't complain, I didn't wear it. When my governor was chiding us for having bbqs killing grandma, that same weekend he allowed BLM from out of state to come and march in one of our cities. And I was done. Didn't wear a mask after that. Have a really sweet older couple in the church and they followed every rule to the letter and they both got COVID.

Max cannot be trusted in his judgment because he is a biased emotional roller-coaster and cannot read what it being said.
Also since there are a lot of pages here, i also mentioned that we need to avoid any of these so-called "studies" and use our common sense or logic. We're doing this to PREVENT bias.



Okay, but common sense tells you that when someone sneezes on your face you prevent their saliva by having a mask.
So what do you have to say to that?



So? Do i question what you wear? No, i don't. I want to tear a mask WITH a tie. Why does that bother you? People do all kinds of things that i personally find strange like tattooing their bodies or piercing their noses but we have to LOOK at them and deal with it. So why does someone wearing a mask bother you?



Yes you're pointing out liberal hypocrisy here which is obvious and the point i'm trying to make is that we should all have free-will to make choices.

Seems to me that you want to impose your will on others.

the mandated masks were to get to the mandated shots and it worked on most people.

In what manner Eli? You know I didn't see any videos of people screaming at people wearing masks. If someone wishes to wear a mask that's fine. But I don't think it's appropriate in all places. School especially. But as far as imposing, I think the US went a lot further than they legally should have. You'll never see people who want to wear masks being forced not to wear them. Wearing a mask doesn't bother me in the every day. But when it comes to schools, when it comes to a job, that could be a different situation depending on your job. Does it bother me? Staple it to your head if you want to. But I will tell you straight up if I come through your line at Micky Ds and I give my order and I hear you ask " You dmmm fffim sfood wirif dat?" because you have your mask all bunched up in your mouth, now it's gonna bother me.

Quick story to show what I mean. One weekend my nephews were visiting. After church we went to our local Frishes. Everyone had a mask on. They had a buffet but they had servers. So my nephew, in his teens with that changing voice, told the server what he wanted. She was Mexican and had a mask on. So he told her he wanted " Stddjff mmee and chicmmm" and she said "Que?" So he tries again " Stddjf mee and chicmmm" "Que?" at this point the whole restaurant is in line and ready to revolt. So I was behind him and I said " Son, take down that mask and tell the woman what you want to eat"!! Then I had to interpret for him what muffled Mexican lady was saying to him. So you got it? Masks don't work, wear if you want to unless it's hindering your job. Otherwise wear the whole flippin box of them. Fill your boots. Could care less.

Okay so this is a lot more clear.
Have you ever thought about how a situation like this can be about ANYTHING in life?
You're basically upset about how people look or sound. People look in strange ways a lot of times when i go to the supermarket but i'm not phased by their appearance or how they talk.
I mean people get upset about delays in trains here and they start yelling. People get angry in road rages too about meaningless stuff.
So this is no reason why we should limit someone's personal choice about what they wear or do with their lives because we infringe on free-will and me personally i highly respect free-will because EVEN God gave us free-will to choose between the Tree of Knowledge or the Tree of Life.
So this is the highest thing that should be respected.

If we don't like what they're doing, we can replace them with someone who will do what we want.

Except, of course, that the politician you elect INSTEAD of the politician you don't like, will probably do the same things, and you haven't accomplished anything. It's all about picking up the turd by the "Clean End".

And frankly, my PERSONAL faith in the U.S. Electoral process has decreased significantly over the last few years.

Is he/ she going to be funeral be the funeral director at the local funeral home? Hospitality head of the local hotel, director of you bank? Nope! Sometimes what you wear affects your job. A mask makes it difficult to communicate verbally and visually. Sometimes your attire isn't appropriate for work. That's a fact of life.

Kudos for using pox in a sentence.
