And yeah I'm against circumcision too, although one might argue it's slightly less invasive than sterilizing kids and cutting healthy breasts off confused teenage girls, ya know? Are you familiar with the expression "muddying the waters"? | |||

I'm talking about a very specific situation; early COVID pandemic, when the simply act of masking very much had the capacity to save elderly lives from a virus significantly more deadly than the flu to that specific population. It's not realistic to demand people mask otherwise. | |||

As long as this is followed, it does somewhat reduce the argument that vaccines prevent spread of the virus due to reducing symptoms….because someone testing should also be quarantining appropriately until test results are back, and obviously after, if positive There really shouldn’t be any issues with this concept, because: - I imagine every state has some version of drive up free testing and usually gives the result the next day or even same day - every job is going to be ok with the person testing and quarantining, I think it would be borderline illegal to demand someone sick with covid to come into work Especially because of this second reason, I’ve been tested for covid more than 10 different times at this point, and only tested positive once. I get tested any time I think I might have it, because I greatly look forward to getting paid to stay home for more than a week | |||

I have been over this with you before even during Covid. Masks do work and they do reduce infection - in fact masks are more impactful if a person infected with Covid wears the mask - preventing a worsening spread of the virus. | |||

But I’ve heard such mixed reports on masks reg covid even from official sources, so I dunno. Their purpose I always believed was to prevent spreading your own covid to others, not guarding you from theirs | |||

You can always trust Ooloo to run away with the wrong take when he's been defeated by logic, it is his defense mechanism.

Oh also there's scant evidence that masks even prevent transmission. N95's somewhat do, if worn properly (IE the right size, fitted properly, on people without facial hair).
To say nothing of the fact that maybe grandma in the nursing home would rather just see her damn family during her final months of life than sit around in a state of paranoia so she might live an additional two months, alone. Ya know? | ||
