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.

Someone around them probably wasn't wearing a mask.

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.

The virus is encased in water droplets when exhaled. Much larger than 0.1 micron. That's why the masks are effective at reducing that exhaled spray.

That story worked until they started warning us about aerosols.
Anything bigger than about 0.3 microns falls right away according to
OSHA.

My biggest problem with all of this is how much they are guessing
about. The story seems to change every day. I think this mask thing is
a feel good story and a way to justify reopening. The truth will be
revealed if masks are universal and round 2 of reopening causes
another spike.
