I like how in the video she highlights the Chinese made mask sold on Amazon. Oh, and make sure you buy enough to use 3 of them at a time. You know Cho Biden will love the suppliers.

They are going to drag this out for a decade. Over 2.5 TRILLION dollars spent so far 1.8 TRILLION about to be rammed through, thats 4.3 TRILLION in America alone SO FAR. That is just on the FED side, most businesses that are still open have also spent for this. Add to that all the businesses that have closed, all the productivity lost. Probably well over 10 trillion in the short term and who knows in the long term.

And China is going to sell you the solution. ROFLMAO. It really would be funny if for the fact that it is real and our great great great great great great grand children are still going to be trying to pay it off.

The solution these "experts" (the ones allowed to speak) have come up with has cost America (and the world) WAY WAY more than the problem.

I can barely last 30 minutes wearing a mask. Customers show up. I put one on. They leave I remove it. Or after loading there order outside I stand back and remove mine. But wearing more then one or seeing the health care folks wearing two. God Bless them. I just couldn't.

I can't even wear one, and I don't. Some places follow the governor's edict that states if you have a medical condition with a doctor's letter exempting you from wearing one and other businesses don't follow it or allow me in. The fear mongers have a complete grip on the sanity of the people here.

They are kinda opening themselves up for trouble with the triple masking.

There is a reason why most companies require a medical evaluation and fit test before using an N95 mask.

First is they want to make sure you don't have a breathing issue that the N95 mask will negatively effect.

The second is so you know how to properly use it.

I forsee some bad juju out there with people just throwing on three masks. Even if they are cloth. It still restricts your air flow.

Now picture someone triple masking, having breathing issues and driving a vehicle........

Why stop at 6 masks? 7 is considered a lucky number.
The effectiveness appears to be logarithmic:
1 mask = 50%
2 = 75%
3 = 90%
So to extrapolate
4 = 95%
5 = 97.5%
6 = 98.8% (rounding)
7 = 99.6%
8 = 99.8%
9 = 99.9%

There you go, you need nine. :)

God gave us all LUNGS to filter out the crap, look it up. And mine IS OEM.
I thought it was nose hairs that did the filtering. But I suppose lungs do filter as well, just ask a coal miner with black lung disease... :eek:

It looks like if you wear more than 10, you could actually start eradicating the virus wherever you go. :ROFLMAO:

If you are unable to get leaches you can make a small incision to one of your wrists. Make the cut along the vein, not across it. Placing the wrist in cold water will numb the wrist and make the job almost painless.
That's probably not funny. Our fellow soldiers, sailors and Marines suffer from depression at a much higher rate, and help is the answer. Their suicide rates are through the roof and I may be alone on this but suicide is never the answer and certainly never funny.

My post was meant to be just as ridiculous as the one that I replied to. If you took it as something other than that, that is on you. You are being over-sensitive.

Hey, they come 10 to a pack for a reason, right?

Try wearing one for sports... I'm a curler and I "have to" wear one the whole time. Now, some of you may not believe it, but sweeping is a vigorous activity. It's like breathing through a germy wet rag. When I take it off after I leave it's just cold and wet and nasty. And the frozen condensation on my eyelashes and the brim of my cap prove that it's not doing it's job like some would like. It's disgusting.

I bet he wished he didn't.

A man in his seventies died in Manhattan, N.Y., on Sunday shortly after he received a COVID-19 vaccine, according to the state health commissioner.

The unnamed elderly patient collapsed as he was leaving the Javits Center vaccination site, according to Dr. Howard Zucker, New York State health commissioner.

Though security and first responders were by the man's side in a matter of seconds, said Zucker, the man died soon after in the hospital.

"The incident occurred approximately 25 minutes after he was vaccinated, and following the required 15 minute observation period where he exhibited no adverse reactions or any distress". "Initial indications are that the man did not have any allergic reaction to the vaccine."

This was in 25 minutes. How about weeks later from some unknown. I have never been a fan of Russian Roulette.

It may or may not ever be solved. The young may die, the old must die, and the wisest knows not when.

I will get my Moderna follow-up next week.

My next door neighbor got his first shot on Friday. He is 76 years old. He is 10 years older than me to the day. I hope that he does not have any problems with the shot. He is like an older brother to me in many ways.

You do have another choice! If the disposables are 10 to a pack, wear them one at a time and dispose of when wet, and put on a dry one. Look for a brand that fit your face. You are completely right to object to wearing a wet germy rag. Yuck. But the cloth ones are both cheap and washable, have a couple clean dry ones in your equipment bag to swap out, and put the dirty wet ones in a plastic bag to take home to wash. Yeah I get it, it’s a bother. Except if you infect the rest of the team and are sidelined. Teams of unmasked hockey players have taken out whole rinks of skaters around here.
