Why You Must Wear a Mask

No it doesn't. I think you need a new prescription for your glasses.

It shows SpO2 (blood oxygen levels) on the left and Pulse Rate on the right.

It does if you work with one on all day and it becomes sweaty and damp.

My husband is high risk and for that reason we wear a mask and shop at a grocery store that requires masks.

New Hampshire does not have a mandatory mask wearing. People are free to roam around without a mask and that is fine with me. My husband and I don't expect the rest of the world to alter their life because my husband is high risk - that would be selfish of him.

He takes responsibility for his own health and well being. We only go to the grocery store as needed and that is it.

The stupidest thing the CDC ever did was saying only some people get it which isn't the case at all.

Young people in the US South and West are increasingly getting coronavirus

So what.

Then we wouldn't have all these parroting right-wing propagandists bringing crap up from March saying "we don't have to do anything and masks don't matter."

If you're that frightened then stay home.

I live in NH, masks are not required. I stay home. I don't try to make everyone think the same way I think. It's still a free country and if they want to not wear a mask, hell, if they want to get corona then that's their problem, not mine. Stop being a Karen and worrying about what other people do and trying to control what they do. Focus on the things you have control over, take responsibility for your own health and environment and you will be a happier person because of it.

If all you Sheep wear a mask...then you're protected and I am protected from you....so ...to quote a well Known Female Presidential Candidate...."What does IT really matter"?

Say NO to the training burqa.

Do we need to take out Katy Perry and her mom also?

Mitch McConnell is doing what politicians do best - lie, deflect, suck up to those that have the pockets, and lie some more.

Your story is very weak at best. Go now and find another story to share with the unenlightened masses.

Oh, and meh!

No, it's NOT their problem. It's EVERYONE'S PROBLEM. I don't think you know the definition of Karen. Karen applies to those stupid heads who don't wear masks spouting "muh freedoms!!" and spread the virus to everybody thinking they are not infected.

Achieving coronavirus-free normality requires effort from EVERYBODY. But people continue to just NOT GET IT.

I have masks. I wear mine. And I also deal with all issues that I can control. I'm not the issue.

It's the stupid assholes spouting "muh freedoms" who don't wear masks who are the issue who are making things worse for everybody because of the asymptomatic nature of this virus. And they continue to just...not...get it. And it should be a damned crime.

Fuck off.

DOUBLE FUCK OFF!

One star for OPs bullshit made up story.

Relax. Getting stressed and trying to control other people's health is going to compromise your immunity. But that's on you if you want to get stressed out and compromise your immunity - it's not my problem.

HAZMAT trained for clean room environment. Virus is smaller than 0.03 microns. N95 and 99 masks are made for much much bigger partulate. Bio containment suit needed for isolation from virus. Yellow. Mask is equivalent to chain link fence barrier to keep out mosquitos. Hair, eyes, and shoes are most robust vectors for contamination. Fortunately we humans shed hair, skin and surface microbes like a hose sheds it’s winter coat in spring, all year round.there is no medical reason to wear a mask. Wash hands after toilet, before eating, and when you get home from store or other public place. Don’t wear earplugs or mask as this increases risk of staff infection by 700%, over 8 hrs.

Now Mike Pence says to wear a mask. At last something that's not a lie.

On top of Mitch McConnell. Is anything getting through yet?

Sorry tried to type horse not hose. Dam predictive screen keyboards. And IPads in general. OP needs better information.

Your Uncle does not belong in the grocery story. He is too vulnerable to more than just the COVID19 hoax.

He can order his groceries & have them delivered from Kroger, almost anywhere.

If he just wants to get out, you can take him for a nice car ride & stop & get some ice-cream or whatever!

But truly, he has no business at Kroger's or any other big box store! Too many people that are sick in the head are running around right now! Plus, he does NOT need to wear a mask if he has COPD. It's not good for him.

Mike Pence is misinformed at best.
And he could be under orders from the Vatican. He is a Jesuit Catholic.

Fact check: No, N95 filters are not too large to stop COVID-19 particles

Size matters, but not how you think
But that’s not the only logical flaw in this claim.

The N95 filter indeed is physically around the 0.3 micron size. But that doesn’t mean it can only stop particles larger than that. The masks are actually best for particles either larger or smaller than that 0.3 micron threshold.

“N95 have the worst filtration efficiency for particles around 0.3,” Marr said. “If you’re smaller than that those are actually collected even better. It’s counterintuitive because masks do not work like sieving out larger particles. It’s not like pasta in a colander, and small ones don’t get through.”

N95 masks actually have that name because they are 95% efficient at stopping particles in their least efficient particle size range — in this case those around 0.3 microns.

Our ruling: False

We rate this claim FALSE because it is not supported by our research. The COVID-19 virus itself is indeed smaller than the N95 filter size, but the virus always travels attached to larger particles that are consistently snared by the filter. And even if the particles were smaller than the N95 filter size, the erratic motion of particles that size and the electrostatic attraction generated by the mask means they would be consistently caught as well.

Does anyone actually understand what the @name means on Twitter? Not my uncle. The poster's uncle.

Just to put this back out there.

Relatives rarely do anything actually helpful, fun or supportive for the elderly.

For public safety the government required:

Seat belts
Child car seats
Texting and driving laws
Drinking and driving laws
Drinking and flying commercial laws
and many more.

No one complained about stolen freedoms with these laws?

Masks during a pandemic - same thing.

LOL okay Nevermind training from Intel, Raytheon, Intel and the Red Cross. The sieving is not the point. It’s illustrative for those without the actual microbiological education.

Go ahead and wipe your ass or change a diaper on your kitchen counter, and then handle food. Go ahead and ignore the fact that you’ve walked through 10 sneezes at the store, droplets have collected on your hair, which then go on you pillow at night, which then you stuff your nose into and breathe all night.

Go ahead and shake hands with the third world, and let them smile as they talk at you, spewing into your open adoring eyes.nevernind they carry diseases that make covid pale in comparison.

But you are safe in your mask right? While you step in the spit of 1000 carriers, and then walk through your house, bathroom and bedroom in the same shoes.

Uh huh. Wear that mask and lower your oxygen level, increase your staff count by hundreds of percentages, depress your immune system. Die in agony with C Diff while some doctor writes covid on the certificate for federal money. Buy it or sell it OP

At risk people shouldn't be traveling about. Family/friends should of been doing his shopping for him.

Yea. I will ignore that training and instead post their rules for face coverings here:
