here is a question for you if the vaccine is supposed to be 95 percent effective why would we need to keep wearing masks for years?
This is the attitude I don’t get. Your safe?! Great. You could be killing someone, sending dozens of people to the hospital and overwhelming the system.

we never tested people for a virus that were not sick. connect the dots on your own.
You need to look up the definition of the word pandemic, because you clearly do not know what it means. Hint: it has nothing to do with the number of deaths.

the virus has a 99.7 percent survival rate. i could send someone to the hospital or you could but there is nothing we can do about it because restrictions and masks do nothing.


you could wear a mask and send someone to the hospital just as i might. its not on purpose that's what viruses do. we dont blame people for being contagious because they have no control over it,

the chances of that happening are so statistically rare. we have had much more dangerous viruses in human history and we never took these measures. someone rang a bell i get it and now your mind is focused on the bell but if it was never rung or talked about you would not care. we rang a bell we should of never rung. people die and we cant shut down because of all the risks.

Aren't masks "lubricated" by some kind of powder or or coating? I know some gloves have powder to make them easier to don and doff. What if it's this coating that's already contaminated? That would explain why places that mandate the masks hard are the places also hardest hit.
No I haven't. But then again I'm not crazy.

Oh good lord. Hard to believe you are living down the street from where I grew up.

Are you serious?

yes covid -19 was a pandemic but i believe the numbers were not substantial enough by july. its not only the large area but also how many die.

I feel relatively safe where I am. Done my time in both NY and CA.

Beyond that, I dont care for NY'ers in large numbers and I prefer hurricanes over earthquakes, huge forest fires, and cold weather/snow storms.

Finally, I am not the one living in some delusional place where masking up recommendations/mandates and social distancing equates to totalitarian government. I dont generally cut off my nose to spite my face whether it is the government or someone else I am spiting.

Drama queen much?

Pandemic means the virus has spread worldwide. It has nothing to do with number of cases or number of deaths. The virus even infected people on a cruise to Antarctica.

Still, though, CODVID-19 isn't something you want to get, since you don't know how your body will respond to it. My FB friend has been sick with it for 15 days. Still has off and on fever. Still feels disoriented. So, I'd far sooner have strep throat again. After several days of antibiotic treatment you're well on your way to getting over it. My doctor said I only needed to miss work for 3 days.

Trump ain’t wearing a Mask so I don’t need to.
