Well the MEDIA has convinced the weak minded, low information types that being infected is a DEATH SENTENCE. It's not. Many people never even know they have it. Some get cold and flu symptoms. The vast majority RECOVER. This is a total joke.

Reps to you!

Funny, our First Sergeants never once worried about our blood oxygen levels, eh?

The ones you are telling to stay home are likely the most educated people, with the most spending power.

Yet, a lot of people think a stupid bandana or home made cloth mask is going to protect you from the virus? LoL

The only helpful thing with a bandana or cloth mask is to remind you to not touch your face with your dirty diseased hands
Nobody has said wearing a cloth mask will keep you from getting the virus. Try to keep up.

Army vet here as well.

To be fair, people in the Army are young healthy and physically fit men. I spent 4 days in MOPP during training at NTC in the middle of a blistering summer. That was hell on earth.


Same thing cannot be said with the general population, especially those with difficulty breathing before they even put a mask on.

The entire face mask deal, is a false sense of security.
Washing hands often and keep your hands off your face!


With the mask, your hands are at or on your face, each time the mask slips and you have to adjust.


Go to the beach... Go to the lake... Go to the river... and ride Jetski's all day!

No. If you don't care enough to find out, I'm not going to spoon-feed you.
