    Silly people think government can stop a virus. Never been able to before. Still can’t.

    I agree his opinions are influenced but I do not think his motives are as you state.

    Peace

    Ok, Hoosier, that's fine. But people who want to try outnumber you and, /pssst, most of them are voting for candidates with "D" in front of their name. Want to do something about that, or are you just throwing in the towel?

    Not surprised this is about politics for you and not facts.

    Oh, and the facts aren't on your side either - just making sure that doesn't go unsaid.

    I'd think that it might just be a 'John Wayne-esqe' Paperview experience for some of us with larger properties to see the shills from the government come & knock on our doors / kick them down - what have you...

    I'm not sure of Rural America's response to this... ?

    (I'm sure of my response - but that is private)

    Can we hearken back to the 'Swine Flu' under a different political administration - & the "reaction" then.... The "lethality" / "transmissiblity" of that ... JUST ASKING ?....

    No I am not being asked to wear a mask. That is California.

    What a response! That's like one of those loaded rejoinders that says something like, "So, when did you stop beating your wife?"

    So, why do YOU hate...? See? This is simple-minded and goes nowhere.... :xd:

    Anyway, back on topic, my completely subjective, non-professional advice to anyone in the United States right now is -- get vaccinated as soon as possible, take Vitamin D3, Zinc, and stay the hell away from mobs of stupid, oblivious people who think that this virus (and its mutants) is just a product of someone's depraved, fun-killing imagination....

    Most likely he is not successful in a capitalist environment and wants government to take care of him. That is the usual motivation.

    I'm asking you to wear a mask. Thousands of doctors are asking you to wear a mask. The CDC director was asking you to wear a mask even while her organization was forced to change guidance.

    We've exchanged a good 50 posts in the last month on this subject. You know the facts you just don't agree with them.

    Fact: Masks work.
    Fact: Vaccines work.
    Fact: Social distancing works.
    Fact: Shutdowns/lockdowns work.

    Only N95 and better work. The masks we wear don’t. Vaccines don’t stop the spread. Social distancing guidelines are not based on science. Shutdowns didn’t work either.

    I have continued to wear an N-95 mask (made in the USA) in public. Yesterday, at a popular tourist attraction here in Colorado, there was a large number of people, and my wife and I were one of only a very few who were wearing masks, even though this "Delta" virus mutant is sweeping across the whole country like a tsunami!

    My dentist told me a long time ago that wearing a mask is a generally good idea during an epidemic, and that if I wanted to make my mask more effective, I should spray the INSIDE of the mask lightly with Lysol, or another similar disinfectant... and then let it dry. I've got a bunch of masks, so, I rotate them, spraying each when I wear it, and then setting it aside for a few days.

    *******************

    If other people don't want to get vaccinated or wear masks, that is their business. I never SAY a single word to anyone... if they want to take unnecessary chances during the biggest spread of pandemic disease(s) in over 100 years, let them!

    I look at it this way -- consider all the many people who CHOOSE to get tattoos -- and LOTS of them! And they do this even though the word has been getting out for at least the last two or three years that the toxins in tattoo ink seep into the body's lymph system and there they are linked directly to lymphoma cancer (one of the worst kinds of cancer). The summation? Something will, eventually, kill you... we're all going to die of something -- but, you don't have to put yourself in 'harm's way' needlessly!

    Close to half of illegals came here legally. When did they go from hard working to parasites? When their visa expired? Lol

    I would try and find out what the lysol is doing the the electrostatic barrier within the mask. Its a real important part of what makes the n95 work. Once it switches polarity it severely diminishes its performance.

    Since they cannot work here legally once their visas expire, then yes, they become illegal.

    I never expected I would ever have to actually explain that. Congratulations, you're a first....

    You explained something nobody asked. Read what you responded to again and try to craft a coherent answer.

    When you asked the question as to when they 'became parasites', the answer is 'when they became illegal.

    Perhaps you need to think about why they became illegal at that point, and perhaps you will have your answer. My response was coherent, for those who think beyond the end of their noses.

    We write the laws and the rules because this is OUR country. Foreigners of all varieties can either comply, or get out! And, if visas expire, they can either be replaced or renewed -- otherwise, it's ADIOS!

    We have 330,000,000 people in this country right now... we don't need swarms of illegal aliens piling in here on top of the rest of us!
