IF the CDC announced tomorrow...

[Jarod]

Okay. Let's say that the CDC made the announcement in my OP and that their reasoning behind the announcement is that daily case numbers have declined down to a safe level to where mask wearing is no longer necessary.

Would you take off your mask?

If the data backed that up, I would.

 

[gfm7175]

I'll continue to wear one if for no other reason than it helps other ppl to feel safe.

So you wish to normalize and succumb to one's paranoia rather than to help them overcome it?

 

[gfm7175]

If the data backed that up, I would.

So you are a yes vote. Thank you.

 

[Jarod]

... from other causes.

Nope, my family member died from COVID-19 that stopped his heart after 12 weeks on a respirator.

 

[Jarod]

So you are a yes vote. Thank you.

In the future, if I have the flu and must go out, Ill likely wear one, or if I am susceptible I will likely temporarily wear one.

I wore one a few times, at the Dr.'s suggestion when my wife was undergoing Chemo.

 

[Phantasmal]

So you're a supporter of tyranny and of depriving others of the right to make their own healthcare decisions? Got it.


So it's okay for you to choose to defy CDC recommendations but not for me to choose to defy them? Got it.

The CDC will not advise against wearing a mask, so I don’t see how my wearing a mask will defy them, in fact, I’m sure they will be fine with my continuing to use one.

I’m very sorry, Jarod.

 

[gfm7175]

I will wear one in the future to lower my risk of colds and flu.

Interesting... You've never done this your whole life, yet now you're going to?

I am am convinced our flu season was basically non existent because of masks.

... or maybe it was because our flu season was redefined as "covid"? I haven't worn a mask (or followed any other guidelines) this whole time and I did not come down with any illness.

I will also continue to get flu shots and COVID shots in the future.

Of course you will. Until the COVID shot that has primed you (and altered your immune system) leads to either a horrible experience or even death upon re-exposure, anyway.

I think being 65, although I am in good health, my immune system is weaker. I will do whatever I can to reenforce it.

You are not re-enforcing it with such shots, and with the covid shot you are only unnaturally altering it.

I expect a lot of people to start experiencing autoimmune issues within the next few months (and into the next many years afterward) due to these COVID shots.

 

[Truth Detector]

Half a million died.

99.848% of those infected recover from this virus.

 

[Truth Detector]

Yes, I’m a supporter of mask mandates.

Yes, it bothers me that people are selfish and do not consider others well being during this pandemic.

99.848% of infected Americans recover. Over 70% of infected patients reported always wearing a mask. If masks worked, there would be almost ZERO infections.

Ironic that the morons who say follow the science, ignore it all the time.

 

[Truth Detector]

And to respond accordingly;

Recognizing reality never makes one paranoid

“Over,” never going to be over, controllable, when the Science tells us

What people in general would do

^Fool thinks anecdotal evidence trumps science. Was your family member obese? Had existing conditions? OLD?

[archives]

Who or what is "the Science"? Is this some form of deity that you worship?


So you're just going to do whatever "people in general" would do? You are a sheep who has outsourced your thinking to others?

I believe I mentioned before, every time “nightingale,” or who ever else he is at the moment, gets stuck he attempts to turn everything into an exchange on semantics, “who is Science,” predictable

74 years old, no conditions.

Masks are not 100%, nothing is you dupe.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

Your whole response was completely irrelevant to my question. Answer my question.

Begging the question?

I’ve never been 65 before, and when you are a Senior you can be more susceptible to illness. I wore a mask when I was receiving chemo because of my compromised immune system. My doctors advised it, especially when I traveled to attend my son’s graduation.

Ironic that you would accuse other of ignoring science when we can easily see the lies you spout.

99.848% of infected Americans recover.
We know that 528,829 people have died from Covid in the US as of today.

In order for that many people to have died it means that 347,913,816 Americans have gotten Covid if we accept your recovery rate.

528,829/(1-.99848) = 347,913,816


That's interesting since the US supposedly only has about 330 million people here. Would you care to tell us where your science says those other 17 million people are?

Masks are a consideration for others. If you have a cold or the flu, wearing a mask is the right thing to do. Not giving it to others is a considerate thing to do, not a terrible burden,
