This shut down is killing the economy
Yup. And the virus is killing a lot of people.
So wearing a mask won't kill ya, but not wearing one might kill you or your neighbor.
Good luck Texas.
BTW have you got your electricity turned back on yet?
In Macomb County Michigan the coroner had to do an autopsy on a suicide victim in his 20's. As part of the autopsy the victim was checked for covid-19 and since he tested positive he was listed as a covid-19 death.
Yeah Covid-19 has killed people......but in many places there is NO distinction made between dying WITH covid-19 and dying FROM covid-19.
Wearing a mask in a surgical setting isn't done to protect the medical personal, it's to protect the patient. Masks are, if they are the right ones and worn correctly, are most useful in preventing infected people from spreading the virus. The notion that a mask will prevent a person from getting the virus isn't necessarily true since the virus can be spread via ocular secretions and tears or contracting an infection via the eye.....but the chances of contracting the virus through the eye is low.
Now some "medical experts" are saying people should wear two masks.....are they saying that for a year we were being mislead by saying wearing a single mask was effective in protecting people from contracting the virus?
Obama's chief of staff Rohm Emanuel said NEVER let a crisis go to waste....and the covid-19 crisis is being used by many politicians to grab power, act as totalitarians by disregarding rights GUARANTEED by the constitution.
I'm not saying people should be careless, personally I'm very cautious. But IMO people need to have access to ALL information and make the decision to what risks they are willing to take because life DOESN'T come without risks. My risk tolerance decisions SHOULDN'T be forced on others....that is how a REAL liberal who believe in DEMOCRACY thinks!!!!!!!!! The root word of liberal is from the Latin word "liber" which means "free". The liberal moniker has been hijacked by leftist who believe in more government control which takes away freedom.
