What good is a mask if a coach lowers it 25% of the time when he's yelling at his players?

I laugh my *** off every time I see some dolt wearing a mask, alone, in their car. A friend of mine said it best: if I see you alone in a car with a silly mask on, I'm going to assume it's your way of trying to stop yourself from licking the windows.

Feels nice when it is cold out and your car engine hasn’t warmed up enough to start putting out heat.

It's the ones you see driving alone, even in a warm car, on a beautiful day, etc, that I'm talking about.

If someone is wearing a mask in their car alone they've either:

A. Simply forgotten to take it off. (Small % IMO)

OR..........

B. They're the most gullible among us; they nervously lap up all of the fear mongering the MSM can plaster on their TV screens and their social media platforms, wondering every day they awake if THIS is the day they accidentally inhale a spore of that dreaded China virus, while in their car with the windows up, lol. Hey!!!!! A Covid spore COULD come through the ventilation, ya never know!!!!

Anyone who does this would also be open to the suggestion of wearing one while in their own home watching the aforementioned TV, while sleeping ; hell!!!!! , NEVER take it off!!! It's too dangerous to NOT to have this piece of cloth on my face for the rest of my life!!! And thanks to all who properly "social distance", and for becoming such GOOD little puppets for your far left Socialist Overlords!!!!! Remember, we're all in this together!!!

These type of people are the ones I fear most. They'll fight someone over a damn mask, but they refuse to fight for their freedom and their right.


But yes Boston, I'm sure they also work to keep your widdle nose and pink cheeks toasty. :)

Or maybe they simple forgot to take it off. Maybe they are making a stop a short distance away. Maybe it’s a way not to forget the mask when they stop somewhere. Maybe it’s no ones business if they wear a mask anywhere they go.

[laughing]

Some days while out walking, I observe at least 10% and even 15% of Austin motorists driving around with a mask on.

It’s easy to forget when you get used to wearing it for 8 hours a day, five days a week. I forget to take it off all the time when I leave work.

And to the relatively healthy people who like to ***** about it being difficult to breath when wearing a mask...

Grow up and stop being a snowflake. We have numerous patients at work with breathing disorders, many of which need to carry an oxygen tank with them, that have no additional difficulties breathing while wearing a mask. If they can breathe well enough with a mask on, your softer than Charmin butt can too.

You stand no chance without healthy people. Healthy people and a vaccine are our only way out of this. Maybe make better lifestyle choices before the next pandemic. Push-ups only cost some time.

Not me boston; the second I walk outside from work I'm taking that godforsaken POS off my face, and I have to wear one 5 days a week as well, 8-12 hours a day.

Maybe I'm just not as big of a snowflake as you are then.
I suppose, but I actually enjoy breathing the fresh, outside air, sans a "face filter".

If I catch Covid by not wearing one in the great outdoors, then I was probably going to catch it anyway. Live life without fear my U.K brother, the air is much nicer.

It’s not fear if I forget to take it off lol.

But I do work in healthcare. I am exposed on a regular basis so I like taking extra precautions.

If I get, chances are I won’t die from it like most, but I could suffer greatly and suffer long term health complications or pass it on to someone at home who has pre-existing health problems. I’m not exactly a model of a healthy human being like Keyontae Johnson from Florida appeared to be and look what happened to him.

But let’s say I get it and it’s nothing more serious than the flu, like the deniers and conspiracy theorists like to fraudulently like to say. Well I got the flu once, I got it bad, it was hell for two weeks, and I never want to go through that again. It was expensive. I ended up having to go to the emergency room in the middle of the night over it, I missed two weeks of work, and my employer didn’t provide sick leave. So I had a hospital bill to pay of around $1000 (even after health insurance covered some), lost two weeks of pay, and it took around a month for me to be able to confidently say I was back to 100%.

sorry- that was long winded and probably useless ....

I assume all health care workers here have either gotten one of
The vaccines or are scheduled to do so -

what about the rest of you - does everyone plan to get one of the vaccines?

Exactly..............my daughter says that she will home school her kids........only a very small percentage of children get the Wuflu..........those that do get slammed........who would want to put their child at risk? Who would want to take the chance even though it is such a small chance.......one of my grandsons is a survivor of Lyphoblastic leukemia.......his body has been through hell once........why take a chance......no this viurus doesn't kill a lot of people.......but it sure leaves a lot of people with long term health problems.......our government has done a bad job of informing the public........they are too busy using Wuflu to control the people..

Well, actually, there kind of is some science behind it. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200826/the-forgotten-science-behind-face-masks
There are loads of articles online. But, the idea isn’t that wearing a mask will 100% guarantee the wearer or anyone they come in contact with won’t get the virus. It’s more about statistics, about making it more difficult for the virus to get where it wants to go, about slowing the transmission as a whole.

No one ever said wearing a mask would save all lives, just that it would help to save some lives. To reduce the overall impact of the virus. Most people would say saving some lives is better than saving no lives. But it only works when everyone is doing it consistently and properly. But when they don’t and people get sick and die, we get people saying ‘see, masks don’t work anyway, there’s no science behind it’.
I would agree with this when it comes to the general population, but that's not really what we're dealing with here. We're dealing with guys in a gym or an arena who are playing a close-contact sport, sweating and breathing all over each other while on the floor. From there, it's a chain reaction that makes the masks and the 6ft distancing between bench seats completely pointless. The 5 on 5 guys on the floor are sharing everything. Even if I'm not guarding a particular guy the entire game, someone else on the floor is guarding him. Everyone is sweating and that sweat is transferred back and forth the entire game. I'm breathing their water droplets from their breath the entire time I'm guarding them. These players are going to return to "the bubble," and masks aren't worn in practices, either. So, whatever viruses anyone on the court in a game may have will be shared with every player on both teams. So, if ANYONE on EITHER TEAM has Covid-19, they're all exposed. There is no way to avoid. People are contagious BEFORE they ever show symptoms, and some never show symptoms. If we are this worried about these guys getting Covid, the season should just be shut down. The masks, the 6ft between bench seats (which is the MOST ridiculous thing of all), the coaches wearing masks on sidelines... it is ALL for show, to prevent lawsuits, (edit) to prevent SOCIAL MEDIA BACKLASH, and to make those who live in constant fear FEEL better. "Oh look, the coach is wearing a mask and the players are 6-feet apart!" (except for the time when they're laying on, breathing on, and sweating on each other while on the floor, which will surely all be spread back to both teams' bubbles) "but I feel warm and fuzzy."

The other part of this is the fact that the chance of any of these 18-22 year olds, in prime athletic condition, getting even a severe case of Covid, is very slim- almost NIL. And the chance of any of these players actually dying from this is about as close to zero as it can get. So, if the survival rate among the general population is 99.7%, the survival rate among these players would be about 99.99999999999%. And the next answer I hear is, "Yes, but doesn't it matter for that 0.00000000001%? And the answer is- that person doesn't really exist. So, no, the whole thing is a total overreaction. I understand mask wearing among people in public places. In this setting, though, it is completely asinine. As I say, if we are this serious about nobody getting this, just shut the whole thing down. Period. And when could we "safely" resume? Probably some time in 2022.

Why do you think that?

Because they represent a new type of vaccine that was probably still a good 10-15 years away from being fielded (JAMA et al)

when this presidential administration allocated enormous amounts of tax dollars to industry and drug companies to get something in place- they also legally agreed to absolve them from any liability stemming from harm that the vaccines may cause -

I believe that de-incentivized quality control to some extent along with the guesswork that has gone into creating a vaccine for a
Virus that we apparently can’t even explain the origin of

it’s a RNA / genetic based vaccine and that’s not at all a routine approach

I THINK there was a near breakthrough with a genetic hepatitis vaccine but I don’t believe it had been fielded - there are plans to make similar genetic based vaccines for influenza and I think tuberculosis?

the scientific publications I tried to keep up with (journal of American medicine had a good one about two months ago) -openly used a lot of hypothetical verbiage about what the results will be when we introduce this agent into wide ranges of specific populations and an enormous amount of people -

they specifically stated that they weren’t clear on whether or not the vaccine would properly interact with our bodies/ rna / cells ...and they were definitely hedging against any type of long term immunity produced by this vaccine (the expectations were that people are going to have to get-multiple injections in a given year and side effects were expected to be somewhat harsh)

And that’s just our vaccine with the monkey genetic material in it -

theBritish were planning for up to five or six different types of shots for their “subjects “ - do that adds variability to reactions and adverse events - etc

the Chinese— last I checked weren’t sharing their test / trial data with anyone....and they planned to field the first wave of injections inside other nations within Southeast Asia and Latin America.....makes me paranoid that last bit for some reason

anywho — I will guarantee you that no one will be gathering useful longitudinal data monitoring adverse events (VAERS?) side effects or co-morbid relationships between the new vaccination methods and how our bodies react

Finally- - we’re already seeing near term harm being done apparently (although it’ll be denied)

here’s a link from Ron Paul’s site showing where one nursing home in NY had 0 infections before the vaccine rollout...then suddenly recorded 300 cases and I think 24 deaths - that’s “statistically significant “ as well as a damn shame (arguably criminal)

Auburn NY Vaccine Mortality

The Koreans also had a uniquely BAD / harmful series of influenza vaccine adverse effects at the close of 2020

I can link later if you like but they used something like 4-5 different variants of vaccine types from different manufacturers- and they had immediate deaths shortly after administering the shots

last I heard they had 80 dead - that was around the end of November I think

and when I went to WHO and CDCs sites - they immediately claimed there was no causal relationship between the vaccines and the deaths ....and That’s was passed for scientific analysis of their actions -

that’s not how good scientific epidemiology works !

no one took the time to do any real evaluation of that situation - they paused the vaccines for about two weeks and then went back at it


hope that helps - this vaccine is a glorified experiment against a pathogen that we apparently don’t understand and can’t accurately track — Shitshow


This thing is being very poorly handled (putting it nicely) - and I expect side effects/ adverse events from the mass vaccination to be mischaracterized as mutations of the virus or perhaps a whole new strain

Yes - I think it’ll be that poorly handled

to this day I do not believe the WHO has produced a single peer reviewed paper on COVID - some one can check me on that but I believe the Danes just released one
