Accept that there are good people who refuse/decline to do simple
things which might help prevent big problems.<br>
I wear a mask, because why the hell not? I recently met with an
Amish man who asked why I was carrying a mask, ready to put it on.
I told him I'm healthy but am willing to look like a Halloween
character to protect him.<br>

<div dir="ltr">You (and your other list members who will not speak
openly, apparently) can say what you want. The largest virus in
the world is much much smaller than the smallest bacteria known.
Medical masks can block bacteria in some cases but do not block
viruses. Virus transmission is not the intent of a surgical
mask. Don't even begin on what these paper masks and cloth masks
prevent.

</div>
<div>I'm sorry to hear of your loss and potential future
loss of friends and family. I agree with the member
that said in so many words "enough is enough, that
ATIS is a place to read without all this garbage."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That said, I have two cents to offer: Barely any of
what we hear about this is true or settled. People
have died, but they die of the flu every year. How
many months now has the death toll been between
150,000-160,000? It's been a while. The virus has
about burned itself out in the USA. It may come back
in the winter, or it may not. Who knows. The one
certainty is the hysteria about it will CEASE on Nov
3rd regardless of what's happening with caseloads.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>No offense to the respondent from New Zealand, but
theirs is not a response to be emulated. You cannot
hide from a virus. Other countries will be well and
done with Covid 19 and NZ will become a new hotspot
once they relax restrictions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Young folks figured out early on they have
negligible risk and rightfully so. That's why they
went on Spring Breaks and the other nonsense of youth
months ago- it does not infect or at least affect
them. So far there is not one case of a public school
aged child transmitting to an adult and any youth aged
Covid death is suspect at best. Teachers Unions are
now holding this Country hostage and by extension it's
economy by keeping parents out of work. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My personal opinion is if you have so much
confidence in the stupid paper or even worse, cloth
mask then you wear your mask and protect yourself.
These cheap pieces of garbage take droplets which
don't travel far due to weight and aerosalize them
where they go much farther. Don't tie a bandanna on
your face and tell me you are "preventing the spread".
That is just silly. Same with any other cloth or paper
mask. Nothing but social conditioning for an illness
with a high 90% survival rate. Does not minimize the
losses but does not justify hysteria.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And that's enough for me,</div>
