Wear a mask, 2&2.
So is this #science and are these the #experts? Yay or nay? Still trying to figure out what/who I should be following since it is supposed to be so simple.
One thing I can't understand about the media hype ... this virus obviously is most concerning for those with preexisting conditions that render them unhealthy. So seemingly the opposite should be true, with obvious anecdotal exceptions, the healthier you are the better off you should be, in general. Yet all we hear is WEAR A MASK!, not EXERCISE! or TAKE YOUR VITAMIN C AND D! or GET FRESH AIR! As usual, the victim mentality of the media is set up so that people can blame others for getting sick (that SOB isn't wearing a mask and got me sick!) instead of themselves (maybe I should stop smoking and go for a run and drink some OJ!)
Genius cWhy don’t all those people with asthma and diabetes and cancer just drink more Sunny D?
Yep, let's have a bunch of people who don't practice social distancing or masks get together today. That makes a lot of sense.
I didn't realize that only people with asthma and diabetes and cancer were the ones being told to wear a mask. Good to know.

"They are appropriately realizing that isolation is a risk for them as well — it's a risk factor for depression, and depression is a risk factor for suicide," Jacobs says. "And 8% of American teens attempt suicide each year."
Jacobs says many of her young patients complain older generations failed to address the young people's fears — of school shootings and climate change, for example.
"After not being protected, after not being taken seriously, they were asked to take extreme measures to protect other groups and to put themselves at risk by doing so," Jacobs says.
What you don’t seem to realize is that by wearing a mask you avoiding unknowingly spreading...ahh fuck it. If you won’t listen to Dr. Faucci why the fuck would you listen to an ornithologist on a sports chat board.
Yeah no shit. But wouldn't another defense to spreading it to be not to get it in the first place or run through it as quickly as possible? If your body is better equipped to fight it off, then you you lower the risk of spreading it to someone else.
That’s a good read. I totally get it. The same people who have failed to protect them asked them to make the first sacrifice by shutting down face to face education. Yet many of those same people won’t wear a fucking mask and are going to vote for the people who made this pandemic worse.
