    We have some pretty good data on this thread that state mask don’t work from some members

    I am not sure your sons actually real life experience trumps the emotional arguments I read here.

    Or you could try to be factual and honest when stating that members say masks do not work. I have stated since statical evidence was clear that Mask Mandates, the second word is key that is why it is capitalized, do not work they have done nothing to flatten the curve since the mandate was implemented in Minnesota.

    That’s not evidence it’s your emotional judgement. As a data nerd myself we do not have enough factual data to support anything at this juncture.

    I’ll go with his son.

    Also I’ll go with my president who was masked up at yesterday like a champ at the army navy game.

    Well done Mr. President

    Check the Minnesota Deparment of health daily situational report the numbers have done nothing but go up since the state was opened up and masks were required. Is there a difference between data and truth? Because the truth is the mask mandate has not lead to flattening the curve. Again read the words MASK MANDATE.

    Look, do what you want to do. Get the vaccine, wait for the next, or abstain... All up to you.

    It's evident the virus is (principally) spread through aerosolized transmission. Even if the masks are not 100% effective, they do capture large droplets along with some smaller particles. If you want to stay home, so be it. Masks are an inconvenience. Most don't have the proper equipment nor know how to properly use said equipment. Many are too ignorant or hard headed to change or be inconvenienced.

    Sure odds may be in your favor for survival, especially if you're under 60yo. But maybe not...I hope you know the Lord.

    I now have a few friends in ICUs. And a kid who works in the ICU taking care of some, and who has had to console a friend of his who lost relatives on his floor.

    It is personal responsibility to do all you can as an individual to minimize your exposure, personal responsibility is a lost on this country.

    It is a hell of a response to get this done in the time frame we have seen.

    Garza got into foul trouble early and had to sit out. When they put him back in he scored the next 21 points. He is a beast for sure.

    This is true, and I actually give Trump some credit for it. It should be known that this vaccine got a great head start from all of the work done during the SARS outbreak back in 2003. Many of the problems they encountered back then were avoided this time, making things go much more smoothly and quickly.

    Germ, give me scientific evidence that masks work from stopping covid spread.

    Most people don't follow proper protocol for wearing a mask.

    CDC needs to do a 2000x better job getting that info out.

    I get we are all tired of this and want our lives back. But Sota makes a valid point. Personal responsibility.

    If we all did even half of what OND does, there would be light at the end of the tunnel.

    I am going with wl704 son on this one, a person actually in the trenches and fighting this on the front line.

    That’s pretty much all the evidence I need, you do what you want.

    That is rich Germ it really is and you wonder why you get called a troll, you ask people for links because you require documentation, and then drop this turd when asked to extend the same courtesy.
