everything is being put on hold for a virus while ignoring other ways people die. this is about control.

Funny experience yesterday at a Candle Store. Sign said masks must be worn. Limiting the number of customers in store.

Staff seemed very happy to just see customers in the store. Can I help you? Show me your pine scents. She pointed to a bottom shelf. I told her that I couldn't look down or mask would fall down below my nose. The woman started laughing and said we don't care about that.

Proof? Cashier had her mask below her nose. Was her mask too big also? lol

This about control in what way? I thought it was about a 9-11 type death toll every 3 days. Help me out here.

As Fauci warned us early on, “masks don’t work”. They simply store the virus and incubate it like a petri dish. Then the germs are passed on to the person’s hands when they adjust it and take it off and out it back on. Then the germs are passed from a person’s hands to surfaces which other people touch.

Masks work in operating rooms because a clean one is put on, never touched, then taken off and disposed of. Most people reuse the same mask and constantly touch it.

Exactly. The immune system isn't just the antibodies and t-cells and all that other good stuff. But the hair in your nose, coughing, mucous, breathing. Exhaling viruses is one of the first ways the immune system deals with them. So now, thanks to all the stupid requirements for them, what would previously be a small viral load, followed by exhaling a small viral load, viruses that are caught in these "droplets" are then re-inhaled resulting in a much higher viral load. It also means if someone takes theirs off briefly, they're exhaling a much higher viral load all at once. Masks are compounding the current problem.

Exactly, they are worn in an already sterile environment with people likely to be healthy, and they aren't worn day after day. Even surgeons and other operating room personnel get breaks.

Thanks!

I was just thinking about enlarging the ear loops so as to allow each leg an elastomeric ear (leg) loop. (Patent Pending)

I've always believed that women should be supported.

Most states have laws about women supports in public places.

Garters are allowed by law.

"Order of the Garter

the highest order of English knighthood, founded by Edward III c.1344. According to tradition, the garter was that of the Countess of Salisbury, which the king placed on his own leg after it fell off while she was dancing with him. The king's comment to those present, “Honi soit qui mal y pense” (shame be to him who thinks evil of it), was adopted as the motto of the order."

Functionality is everything!

My invention should serve humanity well during, and after, the pandemonium.

I own the patent on Mask Garters. (I also own this Brand Name)

Trump: Give me a call. And by the way, I'm not the Pillow Man.

I have already tested my prototype.

So let's look at numbers based on a masked vs an unmasked city in Oklahoma:

Masks required: Lawton pop. 93,714, total positive cases: 2762, total deaths: 25

Masks not required: Enid pop. 50,122, total positive cases: 3055, total deaths: 33

It abundantly clear, a mask mandate has worked.

And I'm sure I could show you an example showing the exact opposite.

Now the study sounds interesting and worth looking at, but it takes more than just one snippet from it.

correlation is not the same as causation.

Always watch when you read something as they will say that there are no studies that show that something doesn't happen, but the thing is, there just are NO studies, and none that show that it doesn't cause ill effects when you wear a cloth mask. Some of this is really logic, anyone remember wearing those faces on Halloween and how nasty they got in just a couple of hours of trick-or-treating? Areas with moisture are breeding grounds for bacteria. So simple, yet people are just too dim to get it.
The study was hospital workers, not general population.

Yes, masks need to be used properly and with social distancing and hand hygiene.

the virus is not dangerous enough for me to warrant me wearing a mask. people die of many things that's life.
