Canary and the coal mine

[S.A. Boggs]

I have observed people going about their daily life without the use of protection against CV19 and I ponder why? Some feel invincible, other's state about the inconvenience or too hot to wear. To me these are the walking dead of today, cemetery residence of tomorrow. One thing for certain, this apathy will most certainly cleanse the gene population.

-I'd eat **** before I'd drive a Jap truck- It takes some getting used to. It will reduce the population of people. Cleansing takes thought and direction. Your not an epidemiologist. I'd eat **** before I'd walk around with a mask on all day. Screw NY. I'll move to Montana. If it gets up there well then I guess it was God's will or something. Remember Harry Truman, the guy who refused to leave Mt. St. Helen's? That shows some style.

I talked to my oncologist several weeks ago about the effectiveness of surgical masks after he told me twice not to touch my face. He said the government says it is a good practice so he would not go against that, but when he shops he does not wear a mask or gloves. He did say he washes his hands before leaving the store and he changes his clothing in the garage before entering his home. He also washes his hands after putting the groceries away. He said washing your hands frequently and not touching your face is very important.

After surviving two types of stage 4 cancer I have become a coward regarding my survival. To trust some of the government "experts" IMHO can be problematic for my survival. I remember all of the warnings about salt and then the reversal of the regard. For myself wearing a respirator is not problematic. At the clinic we had a great deal of infectious control information that we were required to learn. The majority of my clients had some type of issues up to and including AIDS so I am cautious.

you need to do what makes you comfortable and feel safe,


the rest will do the same,


however ask 10 people and you will get 10 different answers as to what makes them feel safe

Then you have a legit excuse--the majority of the idiots wearing masks while walking alone outdoors, or working in their own yards, or even while driving, do not...except the combination of cowardice & stupidity they were born with. Being "safe" does not require being stupid.

...he changes his clothing in the garage before entering his home.

Jeez, that's more extreme than wearing a mask! Makes no sense at all if he's washing his hands frequently--if the virus can impregnate his clothes, why would it not at the same time be inhaled into his lungs while he was in the contaminated environment? Even a MD can fall victim to irrational superstitions.

He is a doctor working at the VA. He has a wife and small children that remain home. He does that to keep any contamination away from his family. He is required to wear a mask at the VA.

Not wearing any protection at this time when we go out,when we get home we wash our hands.We only had two cases in our county and both are home and recovered from the virus.So at this time not concerned with catching it.

Maybe he doesn't want to bring work home!

I know several folks that are working, (not Dr's) that do similar,

one guy I work with has a laundry room right as he enters from his garage,

he takes off his shoes in the garage, pants and shirt as well and tossed them in a basket,
after a couple days, he washes the basket load,

Well, no surprise in this time of media-inflamed hysteria. But ask them, "If the virus has attached itself to your clothing, why hasn't it attached itself inside your respiratory tract?" An ordinary mask, if that's what these crack-brains are wearing, won't stop the virus!

What about wiping down the milk and stuff that goes in the frige? Wash vegies too.

Last time I had an operation, the only people wearing masks weren't me. They wore them to keep a sterile field to protect me. There was nothing inside me that would hurt them.

That's why "they" say the mask is to protect others, and it really isn't all that effective for the wearer.

Absolutely--don't stop at only partial craziness, go all the way!

It isn't--it's to protect others if YOU are coughing; which is why people with even a cold or any condition causing coughing have for many yrs been expected to wear a mask in public in Japan & Singapore, & get harassed by people around them if they don't.

The mask keeps you from touching your face transferring germs on your hands to your face.
