He came in with no mask, I was wearing one so I ask if this mask was doing any good. He says those mask are pure BS. He says I don’t wear one because they are pure BS. Besides those home made cloth mask do not work. If you want protection it has to be a N95 mask. Then again he says mask are BS and DO NOT WORK!


If he actually said that masks are “BS”, I would label him as an incompetent quack and that would be my last ever visit to his office. That is totally irresponsible behavior! Even if he’s been tested as negative that was invalidated after his his first patient was seen. By discouraging masks, he is further increasing your risk of exposure.
I’ll bet he has you taking medications? Why? TO PROTECT YOU!!

On January 22, 2020 Trump said the virus was under control. The. he said it would go away by Easter, asking the public to believe in an Easter “miracle”. Then he said the economy would be “roaring back” in June. He has been wrong or lied every step of the way in this national crisis.
The man is a liar and an idiot, and you still cling to him, and defend him.
He is beginning to be a pathetic figure, and will be more pathetic in the coming months.


IM so glad you are a frigging medical expert... and know all the facts

Another thing you can say is: "I don't want to be ANYTHING like Donald Trump!"

When I wear a mask in public:
* I want you to know that I am educated enough to know that I could be asymptomatic and still give you the virus.
* No, I don’t “live in fear” of the virus; I just want to be part of the solution, not the problem.
* I don’t feel like the “government is controlling me;” I feel like I’m being a contributing adult to society and I want to teach others the same.
* The world doesn’t revolve around me. It’s not all about me and my comfort.
* If we all could live with other people's consideration in mind, this whole world would be a much better place.
* Wearing a mask doesn’t make me weak, scared, stupid, or even “controlled.” It makes me considerate.
* When you think about how you look, how uncomfortable it is, or what others think of you, just imagine someone close to you - a child, a father, a mother, grandparent, aunt, or uncle - choking on a respirator , alone without you or any family member allowed at bedside.
* Ask yourself if you could have sucked it up a little for them.

Maybe not. BUT THE MEDICAL EXPERTS ARE MEDICAL EXPERTS AND DONALD TRUMP ISN'T!

The data shows that the mask is a deterrent. If you choose not to wear one, enjoy your ventilator (if they can find one).


Well said

Mike,
If you somehow think you are the smartest man on this Forum, you need to start over. Educate yourself on the need and use for a mask and the way this virus is transmitted. Your comments are disappointing!

You must be having reading comprehension issues to make that statement, but that comes as no surprise, unless your critique is for trump's statements and actions.

There aren’t...as a fairly quick google search would reveal. There are many thousands of viruses, they typically mutate frequently (fortunately polio and smallpox don’t which allowed vaccines to be developed)...and there aren’t that many with effective vaccines.

We do have vaccines against smallpox, polio, measles, mumps, etc - common diseases in the West. The Experts say that this virus is not mutating in a way that will prevent development of a vaccine. My doctor said we could conceivably have a vaccine before my next appointment in November. We need to see if it happens before we assume that it won't.

If you are right—who in the “government” proposed this idea to exert control over us; who authorized the plan to tell the world to needlessly wear masks; and, most important, why? The entire planet is wearing masks to curtail the virus, so who is behind this conspiracy to exert control, and what do the conspirators hope to gain from all these foolish people falling for their plan to needlessly wear masks?
Is it about money, or what? If you believe what you posted, please enlighten us further.

Your perception is too narrow and too political. Focus on photography.

One would think that with all of of the uncertainty and varying "facts" that we could at the very least agree upon social distancing and masking. Any "facts" out there that say it hasn't helped?

That happens when one stops down too much.
