Wearing a mask does nothing to kill the bacteria and viruses in your nose.Quote:

If you were taking whole body showers with antiseptic (this is done before some operations where artificial material is implanted, usually once or twice before surgery) every day there might be some small harm to your immune system for a short period of time. So wearing a mask and washing your hands a lot is doing you no harm. Wearing masks will not turn us into frail little hermits. Staying home and getting not enough exercise might, or more likely will turn us into big fat hermits.
Consider the matter discussed.
Taking antibiotics--necessary or unnecessary--is another matter. Killing the resident bacteria of the gut can do a lot of harm. Killing the resident bacteria of the nose and mouth can allow colonization by more dangerous, resistant bacteria which can cause difficult to treat, dangerous pneumonia.
Covid or no covid--wash your hands, wear a mask if you have a cold or other respiratory infection, and don't take antibiotics unless you have an actual bacterial infection.

Anyone here who knows how that was figured out and when? (I did once but I forgot in 5 minutes, and that was from watching TV 10 years ago, not in school.) When we are never taught these things, when they are handed down as gospel--because I told you so--then all information seems the same to us. One of the most valuable things I did in school was breed fruit flies. When you see Mendel's rules working at your own lab station, science starts to mean more than a bunch of facts you take on faith.Quote:

You can legitimately argue about whether we should continue to stay home or open up; we cannot legitimately argue about whether or not the guvment is making up Covid 19 deaths to enslave us and whether or not all those people in masks and gowns on TV are crisis actors.
Either one accepts the scientific process or being stuck in the dogmas of belief. That's the social divide.Quote:

The new brainiacs of faith declare that they are researchers, thereby their information is valid.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...etc.
God, I hope that this is real! Apparently someone, or some group, is doing a laser light show on the Chicom consulate in Los Angeles, Mexico. Likely not real, but still funny as fuck.

COVID is fake news.
Wearing a cloth mask or surgical mask is the new virtue signaling.

Most shops let you park, phone your order and wait for it to be delivered. That works just fine, even in a lockdown.

im still trying to figure out how a small company of 100 who never needed masks before has more masks than we can possibly use
is it a special supply train thing?
or are we buying from the same people anyone can?
are we preventing others from gitting these supplies?
or do health care systems not have the same level of supply access as small companies
WHY or how is this?
It's the usage rate in those settings that is causing the shortages, dimwit.Quote:
