Got the confirmation from testing that my brother-in-law has COVID. He was denying that COVID was a problem, not wearing a mask, refusing to distance. He's now sick with flu-like symptoms and vomiting with a fever, but no breathing problems (yet?). He's 56.
Hoping for the best for him. It just seems that some people won't believe it until it hits them or someone close to them. Wear your mask, dammit.
The problem with that logic is they tell us the mask is to protect
others, it won't save you, particularly a do rag tied across your
mouth. If he was that sloppy, he probably got it from his hands
anyway.
He was likely hanging with others who were maskless and not keeping his
distance.
NBC-2 here is leading the charge about masks, they are mask bigots and
still 2 of their anchors came down with it.
This is a virus about 0.1 micron in size and your mask would be lucky
to stop 5% of 0.3 micron particles The size used to rate masks.
