I got the Covid

I am glad you have been promoted to thread coroner

This thread is just as alive as it was the first day.

Agreed, unless Eddie says it has drifted off beyond what he felt when he initiated it or moss shuts it down, it is a very viable thread

The thread must be wearing a mask.... :cool2:

Thank you Eddie for starting this thread as it is the elephant in the room for all of us.

The full context would be to provide the CDC page it appeared on.

You didn't do that.

I posted the full context of what I posted. If you require more information, I suggest you look it up yourself.
Not my job to feed you the information you desire
What I and some others posted wasn't specifically posted for your pleasure

A moderator should never feed an argument. Moss allows himself to participate. Thread survives as long as he accepts the opposing opinions. When he no longer does the thread gets locked.

Eddie knew how this thread would go. I'm still glad he started it. Several members that have been thru Covid have participated. I believe that was the intent.

Maybe if our Moderator didn't throw gas on the argument fires we would still be talking to those members.

I totally agree. When it went from the original post to who should wear a mask and why.. I knew it was going to be a head butting thread.
I'm not the one that started the mask thread. But I wasn't going to sit by and listen to people bash those of for not wearing mask..

I'm not going to comment any further in this head butting contest. I'm done !

I am certainly willing to wear a mask, practice social distancing and wash my hands frequently..........just not forever!

The most significant factor concerning masks is...regardless of whether they are protecting the wearer or others...the fact is they are intended to trap or prevent droplets from entering the body...therefore the act of just touching a mask is as significant as wearing one...if they are working they are contaminated...possibly with concentrated amounts of droplets containing the virus...
...Almost everyone you see wearing a mask touches it often constantly especially when eating or drinking etc...if peeps washed their hands every time they touched their masks there would be water shortages...!
So in some ways masks can actually contribute to the spread of the virus...exactly the opposite of its intentions...!

I absolutely agree.

Deadly virus' are a threat to all species that cannot rid themselves of it.

I don't know the numbers but I'll take a wild guess and say 99% of the human population cannot avoid close contact with another human. So by simple mathematics they are screwed if the virus is viral enough.

As child, I had hay fever pretty bad every year ... a couple of relatives had it even worse ... to the point of seeing an allergy specialist and being medicated for it.

As an adult, I've largely outgrown it ... go figure ... :confused3:

Seems like I can still catch a few days every year though, where I get to sneezing pretty good.

Sure RS . . . my brother (11 months older) always had hay fever when it was baling time . . .
