The KN95s do just fine, Former FDA chief Scott Gottlieb confirmed as much on CNBC last week. There are different shapes and colors for those.

Had my mom not worn a mask, I really wonder if she would've caught Covid.
Most people just don't get it. Think of all the families who actually lived with people who had covid and the rest of the family didn't get it. I spent hours face to face with my physical therapist the day before she got symptoms and I never got it. Might be the mask or she might just be one who doesn't get it.

I would say no because of the expense and one more burden on businesses.

Yeah, my friend's co-worker's wife got it and also his son. And since the guy lives with his wife and son, he's really exposed, but he never caught it. He even got tested to see if maybe he was asymptomatic and his test came out negative. He even went for antibody testing and found nothing. Go figure!

At this point they should leave everything as is. If the unvaccinated get sick and die, then so be it. If the vaccinated get sick and die, then so be it. This has to run it's course otherwise we'll never get back to any sense of normalcy. People will have to die. It's an unfortunate situation but it is what it is.

I really wonder how the Spanish Flu ended in two years, especially without a vaccine. If we can end this Covid-19 pandemic by March 2022, that would be great but I don't forsee that happening the way things are going. There must be something people did right back then that we're doing wrong now.

Priceless.....

AOC and a group of people. Someone taking a video of the group...no masks and sitting close together.
As the news group approaches for a photo op, AOC tells the crowd to put their masks on for the camera.

More and more people are not believing the government. And this is why.

Multiple new variants:

The spread of COVID-19 variants is prompting deep concerns as efforts to contain the virus continue.

In addition to the delta variant – believed to be responsible for as much as 80% of the new cases in the U.S. – officials are also watching delta plus and lambda variants.

Live your life with freedom and remain in tip top shape, because vaccines are no substitute to a healthy body, especially with new variants.

One of the bad ones is in central/South America and has now been found in Houston.

Don't tell me the illegals aren't bringing covid with them.

So true. We can’t vaccinate covid away. People need to take their health seriously. Injecting yourself with pharmaceutical product isn’t the path to good health. Exercise, a healthy diet, trying to maintain a healthy weight, ensuring adequate vitamin d etc is important.
