I could care less about Fox News or CNBC. I'm not conservative or liberal. Both Trump and Biden are clowns.

I've had taken a holistic approach the whole COVID thing. Eat healthy, sunlight, sleep, exercise, eliminate stress. No vaccine no masks.

COVID accounted for about 10% of deaths. What about the other 90%, obesity, inflammatory disease, heart attacks, cancer, diabetes, hospital related pneumonia, car accidents, drug related deaths? Guess those deaths aren't important.

Bottom line is, people in general don't take care of themselves, that's why we had so many deaths. I'm not saying COVID didn't exist, but the whole thing is really absurd.

Finally: Another 'great mind 'shows up; .I, too refuse the Vaxx, and only wore a mask where I sort of had to. . I believe that this WHOLE thing is about control over the masses, and it is using FEAR to accomplish it's ends.It is also a HUGE Cash Cow for Big Pharma.Those morons closed the Fitness centers. HOW stupid is that?? !!

Our government froze the back accounts of those who contributed to a cause that 'Mister Turdough did not approve of. This is right after he called the election. So he still has 3 years to destroy this country and hand it over to our enemies. This is not a conspiracy theory, It is happening. He recently passed a bill under which a teenager get get Euthenized by a doctor and he doesn't need his parents permission. So many see that as ok. I say we are done.

the cure de resistance for Co 19:

I make two very healthy soups, One is chicken Noodle ( I use a Knorr's Soup Mix) and the other is Cabbage soup. The Cabbage soup is DELICIOUS. That and Vit - D (3) and tons of exercise. Also, 3 cloves of Garlic every day and you never get sick. You can get it in pill form at any health food store.

I grad' High School in 1963. About 350 in that class. About 38 of them are gone.. Nobody died from Covid, and 3 that I know of had it and kicked it.

MSM has people mesmerized, and the sheeple march to the9ir drum beat

Done

I didn't spend much time "researching", but let's be 100% clear.

Wearing a mask reduces the amount of particles an individual emits from their face.

If someone coughs, sneezes, laughs, talks, etc. they are emitting particles.

Put something over the source of those particles and the amount emitted is reduced.

I can't understand how anyone could argue this fairly obvious fact with a straight face.

also, doctors and nurses wear masks almost all the time while working> They seem to be able to breathe.

I have never understood the arguments against something that has been a medical/surgical standard since the early 1900's.

But coming from the Dumbf*$k Canuck I'm honestly not surprised to hear him say something so monumentally STUPID.

Again.

In 2015, we conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of cloth masks with that of medical masks and controls (standard practice) among healthcare workers in Vietnam (4). Rates of infection were consistently higher among those in the cloth mask group than in the medical mask and control groups. This finding suggests that risk for infection was higher for those wearing cloth masks. The mask tested was a locally manufactured, double-layered cotton mask. Participants were given 5 cloth masks for a 4-week study period and were asked to wash the masks daily with soap and water (4). The poor performance may have been because the masks were not washed frequently enough or because they became moist and contaminated. Medical and cloth masks were used by some participants in the control group, but the poor performance of cloth masks persisted in post hoc analysis when we compared all participants who used medical masks (from the control and the medical mask groups) with all participants who used only a cloth mask (from the control and the cloth mask groups)(4).

We also examined the filtration ability of cloth masks by reviewing 19 studies (3). We found that the filtration effectiveness of cloth masks is generally lower than that of medical masks and respirators. Filtration effectiveness of cloth masks varies widely; some materials filter better than others (9–11). Filtration effectiveness of cloth masks depends on many factors, such as thread count, number of layers, type of fabric, and water resistance (3). One study tested medical masks and several household materials for the ability to block bacterial and viral aerosols. Participants made masks from different materials, and all masks tested showed some ability to block the microbial aerosol challenges although less than that of medical masks (11). Another study found that homemade cloth masks may also reduce aerosol exposure although less so than medical masks and respirators (12). Masks made of cotton and towel provide better protection than masks made of gauze. Although cloth masks are often not designed to fit around the face, some materials may fit snugly against the face.
