Yes! Email that idea to Joe and maybe he will go with it on the next transmission from the basement.

I think we have a LOT of people in this country who’d give it a try.

 Wow !!! How did this slip through the cracks.

 

A Nashville, Tennessee, councilwoman wants those who don’t wear face masks during the coronavirus pandemic to be charged with attempted murder.

I have N95 masks that I use for sanding so when I go shopping, I wear it. When I return, I go through this protocol

Unload shopping cart and return it.

Get in van. Use hand sanitizer. Carefully remove mask using only the strings. Lay it on the dash in the sun. Not much UV gets through the windshield, but some does. That plus the 140 degree heat will kill COVID in a few minutes. 

My goals with the mask are twofold.

1. Avoid getting infected.
2. Reduce the amount of virus if I do get infected. The fewer particles you are exposed to, the greater chance that your own immune system can fight it off.

So who else has forgotten they were wearing a mask and went to eat or drink something and dumped it down their shirt?

Zoom in on that picture of the crowd. I see a TON of masks. No bias here.

Mainstream "news" media showing off their integrity and thorough research...

Nah, they're known liars.

I wish nobody paid them any mind but... someone has to be reading that garbage, paying that garbage - wish someone would just take out the garbage lol it's really starting to stink haha.

I’m really not big on the masks as a general rule. I have serious doubts about their stated utility. That said, I’m loving taking advantage of not having my face on every security camera and available for every piece of facial recognition software used on those videos. I generally walk around with my face and head covered up like I’m about to rob a bank. It’s kind of fun.

I don't think they actually do much but, prevent you from breathing properly. We have to wear them all the time at work. For a disease that is only 6% infectious that seems stupid.

I love that "mask". How do you keep your glasses from fogging up? I've not found a way to keep mine from doing so. 

[Chucktshoes]

Breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth.

I find neck gaiters to be the most comfortable face covering. I’ve got four different ones right now that I rotate through. It helps cut down on odors and what not from a dirty face covering. Always having the same one and not washing it is just bad hygiene.

A case could be made that the transmission rate within restaurants and bars is a result of the reduced capacity.  I agree Metro needs their whatever slapped for trying to close-hold information relevant to the public; they should have just released it after the verification processes and explained the restrictions will stay in place until we feel people in proximity to each other like happens in restaurants and especially bars won't serve as a transmission vector.

Imagine a science experiment to afix a mask on the face of all members of a troop of chimpanzees, and watch how it would effect their society and their interactions. Would love to see that study after 6 months. 

Might be a cruel experiment since the chimps have no choice in the matter...

 

Yes it would be a cruel experiment on chimps but, I would say in 6 months they wouldn't be many of them still alive.
