he still might.

no, no need to be sorry. you wouldn't have known unless you caught a certain one of my posts in the masks thread. to be honest, the elastic deteriorating is not that big of a deal. many ways to fasten them to your face if the elastic has gotten to the failure point. most items are good beyond their expiration date, the only question is how long. when it comes to food, smell and taste are important.

wouldn't be the first time.

been wearing them and other assorted filtration masks most of my life, Doc. they have come a long way in the recent past and the elastic does last quite a bit longer than it used to.

a rather long article for your consideration. i don't agree with everything that is opined about here but quite a number of good points are raised in the opinion piece. Coronavirus Lockdown and What You Are Not Being Told – Part 1

not the mask per se, rather the elastic bands become brittle over time.

sure... just dial 311-692 and they'll get there right away. however, if your being robbed, mugged or possibly murdered, there will still be a 90 minute delay. their wet dream...

here's an article on it. As part of quarantine enforcement, California officials fill skatepark with 74,000 pounds of sand

Utah is first in the nation to rescind some restrictions. Mayor Wilson lifts two aspects of stay-at-home order for Salt Lake County SALT LAKE COUNTY (KUTV) — Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson is lifting some restrictions on the countywide stay-at-home order effective today. That including getting food from, but not eating at, dine-in establishments and no longer needing to stay home. The change means customers can enter eating establishments, maintain social distance, order food and take it away. "We have seen enough progress to adjust two minor areas of our order. We can feel comfortable going out again," she said, while stressing the need to stay masked and continue to practice social distancing and hygiene. "We are easing, but it is not a big step today," Wilson said. She said the county was hopeful more measures could be relaxed soon. She said PPEs and other readiness measures have been addressed as well. ...

George Carlin's philosophy - a wise man ahead of his time. What we have now is a completely neurotic population obsessed with security and safety and crime and drugs and cleanliness and hygiene and germs... there’s another thing... germs. Where did this sudden fear of germs come from in this country? Have you noticed this? The media, constantly running stories about all the latest infections – salmonella, e-coli, hanta virus, bird flu – and Americans, they panic easily so now everybody’s running around, scrubbing this and spraying that and overcooking their food and repeatedly washing their hands, trying to avoid all contact with germs. It’s ridiculous and it goes to ridiculous lengths. In prisons, before they give you a lethal injection, they swab your arm with alcohol! It’s true! Yeah! Well, they don’t want you to get an infection! And you could see their point; wouldn’t want some guy to go to hell and be sick! It would take a lot of the sportsmanship out of the whole execution. Fear of germs... why these ***** pussies! You can’t even get a decent hamburger anymore! They cook the ***** out of everything now cause everybody’s afraid of food poisoning! Hey, where’s your sense of adventure? Take a ***** chance will you? You know how many people die in this country from food poisoning every year? 9000... that’s all; it’s a minor risk! Take a ***** chance... bunch of goddamn pussies! Besides, what do you think you have an immune system for? It’s for killing germs! But it needs practice... it needs germs to practice on. So listen! If you kill all the germs around you, and live a completely sterile life, then when germs do come along, you’re not gonna be prepared. And never mind ordinary germs, what are you gonna do when some super virus comes along that turns your vital organs into liquid *****? I’ll tell you what you’re gonna do... you’re gonna get sick, you’re gonna die, and you’re gonna deserve it cause you’re ***** weak and you got a ***** weak immune system! Let me tell you a true story about immunization okay? When I was a little boy in New York City in the 1940s, we swam in the Hudson River and it was filled with raw sewage okay? We swam in raw sewage! You know... to cool off! And at that time, the big fear was polio; thousands of kids died from polio every year but you know something? In my neighbourhood, no one ever got polio! No one! Ever! You know why? Cause we swam in raw sewage! It strengthened our immune systems! The polio never had a prayer; we were tempered in raw *****! So personally, I never take any special precautions against germs. I don’t shy away from people that sneeze and cough, I don’t wipe off the telephone, I don’t cover the toilet seat, and if I drop food on the floor, I pick it up and eat it! Yes I do. Even if I’m at a sidewalk café! In Calcutta! The poor section! On New Year’s morning during a soccer riot! And you know something? In spite of all that so-called risky behaviour, I never get infections, I don’t get them, I don’t get colds, I don’t get flu, I don’t get headaches, I don’t get upset stomach, you know why? Cause I got a good strong immune system and it gets a lot of practice. My immune system is equipped with the biological equivalent of fully automatic military assault rifles with night vision and laser scopes, and we have recently acquired phosphorous grenades, cluster bombs, and anti-personnel fragmentation mines. So when my white blood cells are on patrol recon ordering my blood stream seeking out strangers and other undesirables, if they see any, ANY suspicious looking germs of any kind, they don’t ***** around! They whip out their weapons; they wax the ***** and deposit the unlucky fellow directly into my colon! Into my colon! There’s no nonsense, there’s no Miranda warning, there’s none of that “three strikes and you’re out” *****, first defense, BAM... into the colon you go! And speaking of my colon, I want you to know I don’t automatically wash my hands every time I go to the bathroom okay? Can you deal with that? Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. You know when I wash my hands? When I ***** on them! That’s the only time. And you know how often that happens? Tops, TOPS, 2-3 times a week tops! Maybe a little more frequently over the holidays, you know what I mean? And I’ll tell you something else my well-scrubbed friends... you don’t need to always need to shower every day, did you know that? It’s overkill, unless you work out or work outdoors, or for some reason come in intimate contact with huge amounts of filth and garbage every day, you don’t always need to shower. All you really need to do is to wash the four key areas; armpits, #######, crotch, and teeth. Got that? Armpits, #######, crotch, and teeth. In fact, you can save yourself a whole lot of time if you simply use the same brush on all four areas!

well, that's a shot fires across the bow.

classic troll behaviour. he is just going to talk you in circles, bring you down to his level and beat you over the head with stupidity.

'bout all i got...

this will go over his head and below his knees...

i think you allow the spitting and make 'em wear high heels.

yep. feeding a troll with what they can't have is exactly how it should work. besides, i'm bored right now.

well, your wasting your time then because it ain't coming from me. you have already had it explained to you. yet you're so obtuse or suffer from such an extreme cognitive bias that any explanation from me or anyone for that matter, is simply wasted energy.

come on, you know your thirsty, go ahead and dive in. let the refreshing waters of truth cleanse you.

trying?

he knows that, he is being disingenuous. i can, it would be of no use however.

your right, i can do it but i'm not going to play your game. i led you to the water, it's up to you to drink.
