I got the Covid

[MossRoad]

And now the mask police come out. Guess Eddie's thread about him having covid will be closed due to the mask police.

I had covid. I didn't wear a cheap Chinese mask, and I don't intend to start

If you choose to believe in a cheap Chinese mask. By all means wear one.
I don't believe in cheap Chinese mask, and not going to wear one.

Cousins in Mississippi were so afraid of getting covid, they wore mask everywhere.
They still ended up with covid.
It's out there, If you don't get it, consider yourself lucky, not due to a cheap chinese made mask

The masks are to keep you from coughing droplets out into the air. You wear them to protect others, not yourself.

Here is a interesting article about China having small outbreaks and how they did contact tracing to try and find the causes. Worldwide, everyone is trying to figure this thing out.

but if you aren't sick, then no mask is needed...
It would be just like before covid. No one wore mask to keep others from catching colds, or the flu, or what ever else you may have had . You gonna wear a mask the rest of your life ? Now that it's started, they will want people to continue forever .

If anyone wants to wear one, fine, But don't expect everyone to wear one.
And, it wouldn't be wise to approach someone that isn't wearing one and berate them for it.

just require everyone to wear hazmat suits the rest of their lives. Would be much safer than a cheap mask:thumbsup:

It is a good thing that the healthcare people exhibit selflessness. I'm doing what I can so maybe I won't need their expertise.

I wear a mask because the person next to me might be a Dr. or Nurse that I want to stay healthy (I may need them)- or my neighbor for that matter.

Cousins in Mississippi have it. They giving them Antibiotics as well. Perhaps all Dr's don't think the same... Who knows ?

In the early days they tried anything. Antibiotics were one thing they tried. Zinc. Hydrochloroquine. Ex-Lax. You name it, they tried it. It turned out methyl prednisone cuts the inflammation, remdesivir shortens recovery, ventilators kill as many as they save, so they are a last resort, etc. Immune globulin is good, monoclonal antibodies will be great as soon as they synthesize a few tons of a very complex molecule, and we're all hopeful about vaccines.

Veterinarians have been working on coronavirus vaccines for years and haven't been able to come up with one that offers long-lasting immunity, but maybe the RNA vaccines will work. The vet vaccines that worked best were modified live virus, which are dangerous. I have an MD friend who got the covid four months ago, and was tested for antibodies last week. Nothing. Nada. Veterinary coronavirus vaccines have been judged not worth the effort. Maybe the human vaccines will be better, but I suspect we'll need frequent booster shots for them to work.

Anybody watch US Farm Report on RFDTV? A few months ago, John Phipps mentioned that he expects mask wearing to become a sign of respect. Going bare faced in public will mean "Screw You" to everyone you meet. If everybody wore masks, we would not have an epidemic, so we are doing it to ourselves.

if that's what he believes, Good for him. His opinion means no more than millions of other opinions across the world.
You know what they say about opinions.

I have no issues with those that wear a mask. If their mask / face coverings are effective, then it should prevent them from catching anything, a cold, flu, or anything else someone without a mask would be spreading. Hey, that's my opinion !

I think wearing Mask would make a good Twilight zone movie.

but if you aren't sick, then no mask is needed...
...

And how do you know you aren't sick?

How do you know you aren't carrying the virus, since you can be contagious 2-14 days before any symptoms may show up, if they do at all, because many people are asymptomatic and never show any signs of it even though they are contagious?

Wouldn't it be better for everyone to consider themselves infected and do the right thing, wear a mask when around other people, just in case you have it?

I don't want answers from you, just ponder that for a while.

That's the second time you've mentioned people wearing masks shouldn't catch anything. You have the purpose of the mask mistaken. It's so you don't spread droplets in your breath. Does that make sense now?

Wearing a mask is less about preventing you from getting Covid, but more about preventing you from spreading it to others - kind of like covering your sneeze. Would anyone want their surgeon not to wear a mask and gloves? Sheesh
