No shoes?
No shirt?
No mask?
No service!

OK. There is that word, "Absolute".

How about, "It only takes One Contact to absolutely get the virus." Feel better?

It is the coordinated effort of all to Mitigate the effects of the virus. The CDC has provided the basic minimal. It is up to us to work on it.

Even a parachute fails once and a while, but if I were dumb enough to jump out of an airplane, I'd want to wear one.

A person does not need “absolute immunity”. The experts say it takes a certain number of the viruses to be sickened - to take over the body - and if they reach that point, watch out!

On the other hand this virus is being used to erode our freedoms and usher in a one world government. As the super rich say "never let a crisis be wasted".

I am just as free as I was a year ago; I just wear a mask now as well as shoes and pants.

Suppose everyone in Jacksonville had worn a mask starting a month ago; experience shows that the RNC could have planned a completely different convention.

Yes! and the Moon is made of green cheese and America faked landing on it, and, oh, the world is flat and LBJ ordered the CIA to kill JFK.

Considering the fact that I seldom leave the house, those are optional. PJs are my new standard clothing. Cuts down on laundry, too.

I hate wearing them.
They substantially cut down on oxygen intake and who knows the long term problems of oxygen deprivation.
Got this from a doctor directly who deals with this stuff.
