Even if I had a mask I doubt I'd wear it. Not for any principled reasons, it just seems like an unnecessary hassle. I keep my distance from others, I don't cough or sneeze in public, and I want to give people a reason to stay the hell away from me. Plus, I'm pretty sure I don't have the Kung flu, but even if I do, if a stranger gets close enough to me to catch it, he deserves what he gets. You don’t sneeze in public? How do you pull that one off? Edited May 12, 2020 by Chef Jim

Well, there is that NIH study that says N95s are excellent. A cloth mask? Placebo.

I don't even know where to find a mask, but I take more than sufficient precautions. If I have to wrap myself in plastic and hide in seclusion indefinitely I'll take my chances. If I catch Kung flu and die, so be it. I had a good run.

That would be something if you could wrap the entirety of your self in plastic. Kind of like the time Brian's replacement on Family Guy killed himself, chopped himself up, and put himself in the trash. Impressive.

And yet his followers can't contribute to the effort with respect to those things by simply wearing a bandana over their faces. Unreal.

When I'm in public I avoid people like the plague (pun intended) since this hit. If it's so contagious that someone could get it from me at the grocery store, we're all f***ed anyway.

It is that contagious. Hence the call to wear masks not to prevent acquisition, but to prevent transmission.

I appreciate the efforts. I was with you until that last statement. It is that contagious. We are all *****. One would think this would be the one issue everyone can agree on. Both the left and the right. And yet here we are arguing as usual. Lol. We follow the rules that are in place. We don’t gather in large groups and protest a lockdown. That’ll only prolong the lockdown. The sooner we can get over this the better. We need to, at the bare minimum, reach the requirements DT laid out for reopening.
Chef Jim Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Just now, SectionC3 said: It is that contagious. Hence the call to wear masks not to prevent acquisition, but to prevent transmission. I choose not to wear a mask when I’m out in open spaces like hiking trails and through the neighborhoods.

I don't think so, and I've seen no credible evidence to support that theory. I doubt anyone has gotten it from passing by someone several feet away who was simply breathing. If it really is that contagious we're all going to get it anyway and all these measures are just delaying the inevitable, unless of course we're going to go on like this forever. In that case, I wasn't being sarcastic when I said I'll take my chances. I don't trust anything I see on TV because everyone has an agenda, but I do trust my doctor, and he thinks this "quarantine" has gone too far.

I can’t say I blame you in that situation. Most people are far enough apart that you and them should be safe. The thing is we don’t really know. I lost 25 pounds since this started working out at home. It’s important to stay active.

Including people with COVID-19. And discharge from a cough spreads more widely than does discharge from breathing.

We do know it is though. From less than 15 cases to God knows how many. A little anecdote about doctors. A friend of mine recently got kidney stones. His doc gave him pain meds and told him to drink plenty of water. That was it. He couldn’t pass the stones for over a week and then he told me about his situation. I recommended a 1/4 cup each of fresh lemon juice and olive oil. He passed it immediately after that. The doctor never mentioned that remedy. Point is doctors don’t know everything.
