Are you still drinking? Have you thought about switching to smoking pot?

Actually, I've been enjoying a lovely ginger beer called Regatta. I like ginger in the first place, so it's pretty easy transition.

 

Whats cool is there's two or three bars where Mgrs/owners have come on over and said if you're drinking that, we'll order more. And then I get my tab? And they haven't charged me for a single one.

 

It's a pretty tight group in our little community. And word spreads fast. And so far, people have been surprisingly and astonishingly kind.

The world doesn't suck, wiff. A lot of good people are rooting for you both here and at home and I'm glad you're seeing that and recognizing that in person as well. You deserve some happiness.

 here's a question. If masks don't help stop the spread of germs and diseases, why have surgeons all over the world used them for like the last 200 years?

To prevent spittle getting into open incisions and wounds. And to prevent blood splatter from getting into the surgeons nose or mouth.

Surgical masks are not filters, they are mechanical shields.

What’s a Halloween party without a mask? And why 2 weeks before the actual day? You don’t get how this holiday works at all

So, you're saying if Captain America held his shield up to his face, it wouldn't stop Thanus' sneeze?

You can debate the efficacy of masks, different types of masks,  indoor/outdoor, etc all you want.  Healthy debate to be had there.

The problem is that anyone who refuses to wear a mask now is just a straight up a-hole.  Simple.

So even if you think it does nothing, just put the damn thing on so people don't freak out and get scared.  It's that easy.

Good thinking, they dont work.

I showed you a chart with stats. Or let's go back to Faucis statement in March about the masks...or many others like the governor or mass. 

Its all political....all of it

1. It's harmful and increases my chance of infections. It's worse than doing nothing

2. People are scared because everyone is running around in masks and it reminds them to be scared. Which is the real reason they push masks.

3. I don't care if you think I'm an ahole. You're the one with a face diaper on.

One amazing thing about covid is it can't stick to or be passed by lottery tickets and cash transactions for them. Smartest most special and different than any other virus in the history of this world. So deadly you need a test which looks for dead virus to know you have it.

Amazing...and because of trump

Fock them. They just need to stay away from me. I probably don't like them anyway.

If Trump wins, teh D's will forget all about Covid as it failed to oust Trump. They will move onto impeachment V2. Trump will open it all up and if you don't open it up, Trump will say, you are on your own.

If Biden wins, they will roll out the 'current treatments are working great, deaths are way down, everyone can get back to work.'

I doubt that. They have too many people begging for more goverment and more restrictions. Nobody especially Democrats are letting that go.

Exactly. I think we should all be wearing medical gloves, scrubs and hair nets at all times. 

[nobody 2,031]

I question the logic of these masks.  In california, 80% of people are wearing masks.   If the masks were so effective, that would be enough to reduce Ro to less than 1 which means covid should be petering out.

Why would they be annoyed, pissed, scared  ? More importantly why should I care what some freak feels ?

Maybe their mask annoys and scares me ?

Oh wait.  Now I see.  They want to open things up, and masks give them plausible deniability.
