Covid- 19 - Second wave

[Beanz]

Masks are there primarily to protect other people from the wearer. It is a selfish and very fearful attitude to not be in the least bit worried about protecting other people's rights and more worried about preserving some illusion of strength or independence.

OK then so if a person got tested for COVID & didn't have COVID they could not wear a mask and everything would be ok or is the mask a mandatory thing because "you never know"?

They should wear a lanyard or a badge that says "God dangit!! I've been tested and I'm covid free dangit!!" In smaller font "it's ok if I cough on you"

Not sure if masks are mandatory anywhere are they? I see people freely walking around, some masked up, some not. In places that have a sign saying be a good egg and mask up. No one gets forcibly removed from anywhere. Not that I've seen anyway.

Seen Australia lately?

The vid didn't really address whether masks are mandatory though did it? They may be, I don't know. You'd have to be inclined to go through every states law for the answer to that. They're not mandatory where I come from.

Neither of those people would have been arrested if they had a badge or a lanyard. That much is a fact.

Masks are mandatory in my state. Can include a fine of 150 or something for not wearing one “in public” I have had two negative tests for covid since it hit still need to wear my mask. I wear it at work and shopping but if I’m walking down an empty sidewalk I remove it. I honestly don’t know if it’s breaking the law. I use those light blue medical masks you see Biden wearing now only because I get them supplied free. I honestly don’t think they would do much to prevent me from getting or giving the illness but it keeps everyone happy so wtf. On the two tests I got they hand you paperwork that it is possible to have a false negative or a false positive. I wanted to get an antibody test but I talked to a Dr he told me most of them are as accurate as a coin flip. The exposure rate in my state is .07%. That is after schools opening. They actually sent out a warning that we had a big spike up to 1.6% but then reported a miscount and revised it back to .07%. Don’t ask me the deal with that. I’m bringing someone for a test tomorrow morning at 9:30a. 46% of the people who test positive only know they have it cause they test positive. Yet no doubt I’ll have a few more tests before this is over. I’m not anti mask or call wuhan a hoax or any of that, I think I’m more confused about all this shit than anything else. Companies are now competing to give tests. It’s big industry. 1 billion a week we spend on testing last I heard. You see adverts all over “free covid testing here”.

Sound like typical behaviour to me. Pop one on when needed. Otherwise don't wear one. I do exactly the same. Do I think it's helping? Yeah, the shops ask for it and it puts other people at ease.

I wouldn't say I'm against the 'we refuse to wear a mask!!!' each to their own and all that. I do find it utterly pathetic though when people make a big song and dance about it. Especially those that use the Lion amongst the sheep picture 'Me not wearing a mask amongst those that do'. What a hero.

What state you in?

those scenes were more than likely staged. the one with the pregnant lady certainly was. i had to travel into melbourne for something to do with work. on the way back it was raining hard. none of the police at the check points were stopping & checking cars. they were instead preferring to stay dry. if you still believe this bullshit you are a retard

i don't know about you, TIC, but once this second wave started up I went out and bought a few crates of San Miguel, a whole load of paellas and a sombrero.

Now, you may accuse me of Hispanic buying, but I'm not so sure ......

Masks for what? The Swedes seem to be doing fine. This is how normal people live their lives.

Cashless society, denying people bank accounts, loss of freedoms. Never cede to that nonsense.

To answer El Kabong's question of "OK then so if a person got tested for COVID & didn't have COVID they could not wear a mask and everything would be ok or is the mask a mandatory thing because "you never know"?"

If they tested negative and didnt wear a mask after that DURING THIS PANDEMIC, they could easily become infected from others who are also not wearing masks. Also, just because they tested negative today doesnt mean they are out of the woods because they could have been infected yesterday or 72 hours ago and the incubation stage is happening inside them may take longer --- I dont think you test positive the moment the virus enters your mucous membrane. It has to incubate and reach a certain level in your body before it shows up --- in many people this could take 7 days. So testing negative today proves only that right at this moment you dont have any detectable virus. So yes, you could test the following day, or 2, 3, 4 , 5 days later as positive even if today you were negative.

True what you say about "you never know", but during a pandemic it is certainly highly likely as contagious as this shit is, for you to be infected without a mask.

I didnt even get into how you may test negative but a few days later be positive and asymptomatic, and if you dont wear a mask you can easily spread it to others.
