Masks working?

[ajl]

Just an update. Masks still aren’t working.

Well you are wrong. Masks are working well, it just that they have nothing to do with your health. What they measure is compliance of the sheeple with communist diktat. They also contribute significantly to fear porn. They also identify those who will have to be shipped of to the gulags they are setting up. In a country where most of people's income is from one government scam or another, there is a lot of mask wearers. When the money printing stops, and government budgets get real, and people have to find real jobs again, the only mask wearing you will find will be in dusty grain bins.

Just a couple of points. The poster
That said masks just delay getting covid.
With a vaccine on the way ,what is
The matter with that?
And second the local Dr. Has said since this spring, bacterial
Pneumonia has fallen off the map. Few if any cases.
Either distanceing or masks are doing something.

Seriously with such a long incubations period how can you declare the day after the government puts on restrictions that masks or any other measure doesn't work. You have to wait for the infected people and the people they infected to finally show symptoms and that is if everyone follows the guidelines... If the guidelines are strict enough to begin with.

It isn't rocket science, if there is only 70 or 80% compliance you can't expect 100% results.

Masks have been mandatory in Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert for almost three and a half weeks, numbers are still high, if masks are so frigen great the bogeyman flue wouldn’t have made it out of China.

I don't know what the virus filter efficiency for a surgical mask is, 40-80% maybe depending on the individual, but unprotected eyes would also be a landing strip for viruses.
Masks give some people a feeling being bullet proof, which isn't the case at all.

I don't know what works and what doesn't but I know what we are doing in rural Alberta isn't working. We had 7 a week ago and 21 today. Like to mention that the town and community put on 2 day Xmas market and promoted Midnight madness in Olds and Didsbury. Don't think those were a good ideas to promote or allow.

Wonder how long before people actually revolt?
Be like our veteran's jump put of the trenches and go forward..
What happens..happens...

Try different masks?


Or try this type. It has arm holes for nose scratching!

That's ridiculous.

There should be some battery powered remote thingy that would do the job and reduce the hazard of viral contamination...

I dunno. That one looks like it’ll work as a sports bra too.

The made in CHINA medical mask crap, smells awful, makes me SICK, who could trust that EVIL empire? The box plainly states what they are meant for and viruses are NOT listed. Dust masks with cloth filters ARE not for tiny wee virus, BIG dust particles.

There are opinions that suggest more C02 makes us more acidic, just what CANCER thrives in.

I believe that, being ALKALINE kills cancer. Wear as little as absolutely necessary, I do not believe it stops any virus in or out. Just that we have to do something to appear trying/complying. That and into EYES is why cases happen, but that GOOFY PCR is also questionable. UK starting a quick test, watch for that.

Not even a little bit.
But I did learn the little flimsy blue masks are way easier to get air through than the N95rs.
I was in Swift Current last week and grabbed a few flimsy blue masks and they aren’t stopping Covid but at least I’m not turning blue.

All I care about is whether or not that contraption has been approved by the necessary bureaucratic bodies to finally allow me to patch up the glory hole in my bedroom wall? I take all these government safety recommendations VERY seriously!

Damn! I was wondering how to work glory hole into this thread. Good Job.

There is but..... I thought we were talking about covid.

I'm here strictly to entertain, good sir.

SO ——— Two things I read this morning,


1. Trudeau gave over $157 million to two Toronto Nursing Homes, 74 million went to their shareholders

2. Parkside Extendicare in Regina has lost 11 residents to Covid in the last 3 days . There are 275 or so residents and conflicting reports put the infected rate at 80%. 1 infected staff was the source. Families can not get information about loved ones in there.
