@zoostationaz @genesimmons You wear one in the OR to prevent your saliva and normal oral bacteria from being aerosolized into an open wound and causing infection. Our surgical masks do not stop viruses. I wear one at work all day too and hate the damn things. Microbiologist/virologist/covid testing lab.
@genesimmons I am a 30-yr microbiologist/virologist and run a Covid testing laboratory.
Wearing a seatbelt should be my choice because it only affects (not effects) me.
If masking is mandatory, N95 or higher masks are the the only ones that can stop a virus particle.
@genesimmons Wearing masks were appropriate in the beginning of the pandemic to prevent hospitals being overrun. To slow things down. But now we need to take them off and let our amazing bodies make antibodies to the virus. The masks only make us hypoxic and grouchy at this point.
@misssashleyrae@MattWalshBlog Citizens who register to vote can vote. They show their ID to make sure they are registered and only vote ONCE. Its not rocket science.
@CSandbox@MattWalshBlog “Handguns” killed? My guns are inanimate objects. They can not shoot by themselves.
Stop trying to take my possessions. Instead, support mental health insurance coverage and tackle the problem at its root.
