Wuhan Virus: To wear or not to wear.
California is insane. California’s Dictator/Governor is insane.
Gruesome Newsom has tried to mandate wearing masks and millions ignore him. The only recourse he has is to punish small (not large) mom & pop types of businesses for ‘disobeying’ his foolish edicts.
Some of us do chose to wear masks, not out of fear, but as a precaution or as a courtesy to others.
Let’s be clear. In all of America about 10,000 people have died FROM the Wuhan virus, far fewer than have died from flu, pneumonia, tuberculosis, traffic collisions, suicide, domestic violence, murders, etc. Claims of 200,000+ stem from fear mongering and bogus reporting based on bad guidance where elements of the government (CDC) told hospitals to report heart attack, accident, cancer, and other deaths as being Wuhan virus deaths because they could collect more taxpayer money.
We are at a stage where the morbidity from the Wuhan virus is the proverbial tip of the iceberg where the preponderant part of the Wuhan iceberg is the bullcrap under the waterline.
So-called expert authorities condemned the use of anti-malarial drugs because they couldn’t make money (commissions) on Hydroxychloroquine in the face of hundreds of anecdotal reports of success from genuine professional medical practitioners.
Many caregivers have died from the virus in spite of the top quality ppe (personal protective equipment) that they used. The best N95 masks filter out everything larger than four (4) microns. The Wuhan virus particles are just one (1) micron in size. This, boys and girls, means that popular but porous cloth masks don’t do much.
Advances in treating those stricken with only the Wuhan virus have reduced the mortality rate to a minuscule fraction of the American population, about 10,000 people in six or more months. The 200,000+ figures are deaths in people with serious underlying health issues such as obesity, diabetes, age, COPD, etc. Current treatments and newly available and proven medications are saving the lives of even larger numbers of even these groups.
An overweight senior citizen with COPD, Asthma, a heart condition, and diabetes, I am at the top of the high risk population. I join in street corner political rallies where a breeze is blowing, it’s hot, and the sun is powerfully bright, in group meetings, etc. without a mask. My pulmonologist checks my lungs monthly and my lungs are clear. I wear a generally useless mask when I go shopping because they won’t allow me into the place without one, knowing my Civil Rights are being violated.
Blindly obedient sheeple even wear masks while alone inside of their airconditioned cars, walking their dogs with nobody around, etc. That’s laughable. Hundreds or even thousands of participants in violent riots across America are maskless, or wear masks to obscure their identification. Few if any get sick. People riding bicycles, shooting hoops, or participating in other rigorous activities don’t wear masks because they need to breathe – and they’re not getting sick.
Foolish, nonsensical local government mandates to wear masks are a convenient way to attempt (they’re failing because they are annoying the hell out of cognizant voters) to make President Trump look bad. Bad governors are bad, and they’re only hurting we-the-people who vote.
