    Do we take it upon ourselves to get tested regularly to see if we are asymptomatic? Or just wear a mask and hope for the best?

    I guess I haven't talked to anyone who has voluntarily went in to get tested "just to see."

    Mandatory mask wearing everywhere outside of the home where social distancing can't be maintained. Just went into effect today here in PA.

    I'll do a quick test if offered, but I'll be damned if I'm taking the brain jab via nostril unless I'm having symptoms


    Sue me :lol:

    Do whatever you want, lol

    Dnoddles the mask are not about you inhaling anything, it’s about those who may have it reduce the about of droplets.

    So if a person is wearing a mask, coughing and 6ft away from you, you’re going to be fine.

    Hair cut place both the hair cut folks had covid and saw 146 clients and 0 got it. Both wearing masks clients were not.

    Take a bar in East Lansing where appeasers 1 person had it and now over 100 have it from that one person no mask in a bar.

    I am I interested to see the data from the WV gym.

    Man it's been awhile since I've been on here. I sure do miss everyone's opinion it gets me going. So I started reading got to page 5 and just came straight to the end........I had the virus December 26th and it was brutal gents. Nyquil and dayquil didn't do a thing against it! Even got proof on our Team forum from last seasons competition dated the 28th. 6 days with a fever and breathing problems. At this time the virus wasn't being talked about worldwide, so I didn't think anything of it. I also work downtown Chicago so that will some it up how I got it! Crazy world we live in but I'm a survivor without a hospital. So I may have won the first of us to have it, is what im really saying!........but on a side note I hope you all are doing well and can't wait to get 20ft high again!

    Gotcha channel locks, you answered my question but directed it to dnoodles.

    So since I am not coughing and sneezing, nor am I emitting droplets I'm good to go without a mask.

    I don't know about "just to see"; but I know several people who were tested because they have high-risk people living at home with them. All negative. They (Fauci, INC) are angling toward a universal testing mandate. Watch.

    You must be a butcher. Aside from my screen name; you also butcher physics. K-95 masks do nearly nothing to regulate exhaled particles.
    I think VS summed it up best. You got to have a pretty air tight seal on a real gas mask to keep anything in or out. These cheap ass and homemade monstrosities are about as effective as a paper bag on your head.

    Personally, when required I have been wearing a Buff mask. I know it does literally nothing aside from satisfy some meaningless mandate; but I actually like it because now nobody can see my facial expressions.

    I kind of figured the masks were complete BS when back in April they accidentally showed the White House presser where literally nobody was wearing a mask until they were called upon, then they would put on a mask as soon as they were on camera...hell there was even that Fox reporter John Roberts hot mic moment where the janitor guy said "nobody here (the White House) wears a mask because they all got vaccinated"

    I am listening to a local AM morning show (Dan Profft on 560 AM ; check him out he's similiar in style and about as brilliant as Ben Shapiro) and right now he's interviewing a guy who was high up at WHO...this crescent wrench (totally stealing that) says that normal talking is a more effective aerosolyzer of water vapor and therefore more dangerous than coughing.

    This WHO guy is also saying to wear a mask outside and extend social distancing by more than 6 feet; and that it's "too early in the pandemic" to say that young people are not at risk because we do not yet know if their symptoms will return.

    Profft pushed back pretty hard with published studies on the inefficacy on K95 masks in preventing influenza, questions about the economic impact, etc and this WHO guy had pretty much no response other than 'we don't know yet; but until we do Lockdown Forever' (paraphrasing.)

    Hard to describe the interview in detail here, but time and time again you could see that these 'experts' come at the pandemic from a sterile clinical viewpoint at all times; and have no idea of or even interest in real world behaviors and public policy/socioeconomic systems and impacts.

    If this goes on much longer we should double down and add a picture of the bow and arrows in the 10 ring. Or triple down, positive test result on the same day as a deer harvest... bow and deer must be in the photo along with positive result AND time & date.
