First the experts said the covid-19 virus could be spread
simply by being on surfaces that are touched or handled.

Last week, they said, "no, they changed their mind and
it really can't be spread by being on surfaces.

Today, they changed their minds again and decided it
*can* be spread from surfaces.

Meanwhile, Doc Fauci had warned that a second wave in the
fall was almost certain,Â* until he decided it won't.

No wonder people are getting fed up.



If people are getting fed up, it is because they don't understand that
knowledge of the virus is growing and changing. Or perhaps Trump is
leaning hard on him. Or...

Maybe they should all shut the **** up until they get their ****
together and I include the president in that.
We have tests that don't work, theories that don't work and the latest
study from the Koreans say, masks that don't work.

Then we would still be doing absolutely nothing to mitigate the spread.

Not a good idea.

Your 'latest study from the Koreans' has already been shot to ****.

With no standard of what constitutes a "mask", how can any broad
statement be made?
This reminds me of all of those gadgets they used to sell that
improved your gas mileage. If you thought they worked, they worked.

Here, a standard:

I wonder what OSHA would say if you tried it, even dealing with
particulates 10 times the size of a corona virus.

I know "better than nothing". Isn't that what the army said about the
ear plugs they are getting their ass sued off over?


I'm a result of 'the nothing' and can barely hear. Your argument fails again.


My point exactly and if you think that do rag on your face is as
effective as the 3M ear plugs you will be tricked again.

It is interesting that you scoff at a real study but you can't point
to a real study that tells us how effectively a neck gaiter or a
bandanna works. There is only the "Better than Nothing" opinions and
that all assumes the user actually uses some decent protocols in
putting the mask on, taking it off and disposing of it. (not touching
it while in use etc)
You notice in the WHO video, the lady says dispose of it as soon as
you notice it getting damp, which points out what I have been saying
all along. Once the contamination gets through the mask, it becomes a
Claymore if you sneeze.
Maybe they should print "This side toward Enemy" on them.
