What everyone needs to keep in mind is that the face coverings ARE NOT FOR YOU. Truthfully I feel like there is a 1% chance it may help a little, but that is just my feeling. Face masks are to help YOU from being a carrier and giving it to others. No one REALLY knows if they have Covid or not, because even if you were tested, you could have gotten it 5 minutes later.
So basically because people don't want to help others from possibly transmitting this deadly (to some) virus, businesses are requiring it. Here in Florida I noticed a LOT less people wearing a mask last weekend than I had the weekend before. People are getting tired of it (myself included), however I do wear a mask when I am in businesses with a lot of people and social distancing is harder. I am 0.1% worried about catching this thing myself, I just would hate to know I am a carrier and I have/had given it to others.
Thats kind of how I feel about a guy I play cards with. He wants to have a card game but also has cancer and is just finishing chemo treatments sooo.... he really shouldnt be around people.
I really think they need to just figure out a policy to keep it out of nursing homes and let the rest of us go back to normal. And not the "new normal" they want to push... normal normal.
My family wanted to have a card game, but my dad is too old to be around us all. NO WAY. I had to be the asshole and said absolutely not. He has been really good about staying home and such and thought it wouldn't be a big deal.
No way. Not worth the chance.
Yeah... its best to be safe. My mom is at high risk as well. Not worth the risk to see my parent right now. Virtual visits will have to suffice.
Exactly.
Protesters may cause a new surge in cases I am afraid thought
