Got this from a doctor directly who deals with this stuff.


From a doctor who is full of it.

Me too.
I have a mask with me all the time. If I’m somewhere social distancing isn’t possible: a store, a busy street, church, I put the mask on. If I’m out for a walk around the neighborhood, I don’t.
I recognize that my daily routine may not be as complicated as others’ and wearing a mask is annoying but we need to put “me” on the shelf at times.

I guess so, he is dealing with covid patients as well.
But if one is leftist and TDS they will not believe any other point of view but the hate America point of view.
We KNOW that all the geniuses at WHO, CDC and Fauci as well have been dead wrong about 98% of the time so far. "Brilliant" doctors all.

I find 2020 to be a departure from anything I’ve ever experienced in my lifetime.
We are faced with a common enemy that historically unites people, yet civil unrest has turned hot across the nation.
There’s nothing in the way of a constructive national dialogue, just 24/7
negativity and upheaval.
The year of calamity.
But I suppose somehow one day this too will be looked upon as the good old days. Thats a phenomenon that’s a historical constant.

Wearing a mask is just good common sense. I know retail food workers who have been exposed to the masses from the very beginning of this outbreak and they are all perfectly healthy today. Without their masks I doubt they would be.
Stay safe everyone.

I got a box of kitchen matches that are guaranteed to work. I checked each and every one, and they lit up!

Known anyone with polio lately??


It still pops up in places around the world where people aren’t paying attention. Aside from that we know a hell of a lot about polio but very little about this form of the coronavirus. Time will tell.

A rigger informed me that all their chutes are guaranteed. If one of theirs fails, they are happy to replace it at no charge.

Judging from some of your past posts on this subject it apperars you have already experienced oxygen deprivation.

I wonder where your doctor got his/her information.

When our Governor held his weekly news conference and announced his new mandatory mask policy {begins Monday to give people time to get them}, he had several doctors present. In answer to a question specifically about oxygen deprivation, one said that masks do not cause oxygen deprivation and referred to 'the literature'. Many surgeons spend most of the day masked.

So, I’m guessing you are so sure, that you’re willing to risk OTHER PEOPLES’ lives by being close to others, WITH-OUT you having a mask. Boy!!! You are pretty confident. I’m neither conservative or liberal, They both suck in so many ways...I am though all about issues. From a life of medical, para-medical, career,I don’t appreciate your stance(uninformed!!). Out in public, if you don’t wear a mask, at least wear a big sign that tells people you don’t regard their lives as VALUABLE..well, not wearing a mask “says that already” doesn’t it??.......RJM
