I understand that neither of us live in an area with a lot of case's, so transmission is not as much of an issue as some areas. This sums up the type of mask people are wearing pretty good. Job sites would get shut down by OSHA if guys wore a magic cloth doing most tasks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wash my hands and use hand sanitizer a lot. I wear a N95 when in a hospital ECT. We follow what are customers require. When I’m not at work I only wear one in a business that requires them. Didn’t wear one once while on vacation for 10 days in Golf Shores. I’m not one that gets all worked up in a business that requires them. No different than a steak house requiring no t shirts or jeans. I go with the flow or go somewhere else. Not worth getting worked up about it. 8 minutes ago, Snake said: Boots on the ground observation. Take from it what you will. I ain't no doctor. How are things going in Maine? We've had a slight uptick in cases since the 4th, but still only a handful or two of new cases a day. It's funny to watch the maps on the news. Last night VT was lite up as a state with increased hospitalizations. We went from 2 to 3. I'm surprised to see that didn't claim a 50% increase.

Still just a tad over half of the annual flu deaths. Shake my head. Be nice is we could take all the Cumberland County cases and put them in Mass where they belong.

J. Jackson Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Where I live there has been no deaths and I believe 8 "cases" since the beginning. I'd say 50/50 on whose been extremely proactive and those who have been somewhat active on mask wearing and social gathering. Democratic Governor, er, Rep. Governor Scott said way back that he was "opening the spigot" when we showed a marked improvement and he did somewhat. Now this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand Sanitizer was so simple and easy up here it didn't have to be mandated. I made it with Methanol from Gas Line antifreeze when it ran on short supply. Real Masks were focussed on the medical community and millions have been made by businesses professionally and by people with their own sewing machine machines. I've bought and given away 50-60 masks with the sole intent to have people be able to protect each other. I live part time 2.5 miles by boat from my marina, when I enter their store I wear a mask. It's fn simple. When I work in Toronto I'll wear an N95. It's simple, I don't hesitate. I don't like it but we are moving on up here, how you all doin ? You better start rethinking what MSM is drilling into your head. Methanol is toxic through skin absorption. Besides, You dont need to sanitize your hands....as the "experts" tell us that transmission through touching objects is extremely rare. Plus our hands naturally have beneficial.bacteria.on them......doesn't make sense to destroy them with over sanitizing. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-updates-hand-sanitizers-methanol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wearing a mask when necessary will just allow to continue to spread. It's common sense gentlemen, while a mask is not 100% effective and even if it only lowers the transmission rate by any percentage it's win for the health and economy of the country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Everyone needs to wear a condom when they fuck their old ladies.
