Nice hoe. I like Cats. Ever had the tracks freeze on the ground in really cold weather. If it's not to cold you can take your teeth and try and get 'em loose then work 'em around to warm 'em up. If that doesn't work you just have to wait and tickle them now and then until they get warm, free up and you can get back to it.

Hoe .. with an e.

Thank you,
MrSmith

The funny thing is wearing a mask is actually useful, whereas the vaccines are questionable…. The thing that chafes my ass is all these people running around wearing masks that I’m starting to see again…. And they think that wearing those masks is like wearing a respirator to filter out viruses. Whereas you’re actually wearing the mask to keep the water droplets in your breath from getting to anybody else because those would be laden with viruses and infect other people. (If you’re actually infected with anything.)

not to mention all the classic shit… Wearing it in the car by yourself, wearing it while walking down the street….

How many years has it been and peoples still don’t understand what the fucking masks actually do and how they work?!
That seems all fine and dandy until the infection rates are basically the same in places where people wore masks vs where they didn't. Could link me a study that shows masks are effective at slowing the spread of respiratory viruses.

Sure.


what the study says:

-There are a shit ton of poor studies where people are trying to prove that masks are not effective, but they’re sample size is so small as to be statistically useless. (You can’t really make good determinations with studies of very small sample size.)

- all large studies indicate that wearing a mask, especially with an infected individuals, makes a huge difference in outcomes of people not getting infected.

- Studies were both people have masks provide even better overall protection. Again, because viruses are aerosolized in water droplets when exhaled from the human body and never by themselves. (In other words, the human body is not a military biological weapon that flawlessly aerosolizes viruses and dusts the target area with them.)

- That people will become infected, regardless of if they are wearing a mask or not if they are in a saturated environment where everyone around them is infected. In other words, the viral dose is so severe that there’s no way a mask is going to protect you. (This is why they wanted everybody 10 feet away from each other.)

I understand that people don’t like being told to wear masks. I especially understand that people don’t like being told they should be vaccinated (Because I believe it is a total infringement of your rights…)

however, with regard to the non-invasive aspect of wearing masks… I really don’t see how losing your shit over someone wanting you to wear a mask during a pandemic is a really big deal.

Telling you that you have to get a vaccine on the other hand… That’s invasive… And it’s not OK.

I do. Never know what mental illness they have.
I suspect you’re more right than people would like to admit.

I am totally confused as to why people are still wearing masks in the office.

Wearing a mask by yourself, is nearly totally useless. Yeah, an N95 mask will provide you some protection, but without others wearing masks it’s just not effective.

Then we come back to people walking around the neighborhood wearing a mask outside, people driving their car wearing a mask, etc.
