The mask is to prevent someone from spreading the virus (minimizing distance spread) if they have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare livingonthebeach Posted April 27, 2021 Author #78 Share Posted April 27, 2021 A bit OT but mask related -- Disney will require masks on the UK summer sailings of Disney Magic: "Face coverings are required for all guests (ages 11 and up) and crew members, including those who have received a COVID-19 vaccine," the company said. "Please bring your own face coverings and wear them at all times, except when dining, swimming or in your stateroom. You may temporarily remove your face covering while actively eating, drinking or taking an outdoor photo, but you must be stationary and maintain appropriate physical distancing during this time."

Keksie Posted April 27, 2021 #79 Share Posted April 27, 2021 5 hours ago, kastke said: Actually, all the daycares around us, and in at least a few other states that I know of, require all children age 2 and up to wear masks since last summer or fall. Believe it or not, children are very good at keeping the masks on. They’ve been taught it is to help get rid of all the “bad germs” and have had parents, teachers, grandparents modeling these same good habits. So now we have a whole generation of children thinking they are full of bad germs that will kill the people they love. Counseling may be a booming job opportunity in the future. Several school districts around here have done away with or are doing away with the mask requirement for children in school. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted April 27, 2021 #80 Share Posted April 27, 2021 It's ridiculous to be wearing masks outdoors in the first place. It only took the CDC nearly a year to come around to the fact. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few extra heats won't add that much more time to the competition. There are no "lanes" in an 800 meter race. The only time runners are in "lanes" is at the start of the race. And that configuration lasts a total of about 10 seconds before the first "rabbit" breaks from the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that wasn't ridiculous, which it is, the experts have said for months that masks don't offer much if any protection from virus in the air, just help prevent people from spreading it. And we travelled 10-12 states for 2 months January-March and nowhere were "most" people wearing masks in their cars........... 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that logic she should wear one inside your house and while out in your yard. We have not worn masks outside unless it was required (beach boardwalk when social distancing wasn't possible, walking into or out of restaurants, church, etc). And, nope the majority of drivers I see are not wearing masks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last year we have had our bathroom remodeled, had HVAC people in to do work, electricians and plumbers to do other work, house cleaners (every two weeks for the last few months). We've also been eating out, going to church and seeing our grown kids. None of us got sick. My BIL, who was much more careful than us to the point of not going out anywhere except for groceries (working from home as is his wife), got his first shot several weeks ago and three days later got sick. He tested positive and spent a week in ICU on oxygen, remdesivir and other meds (steroids and antibiotics) because he had double pneumonia. He's home and doing a lot better now, but masks didn't protect him. BTW, his wife didn't catch it. Edited April 27, 2021 by BND 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys who did our bathroom only wore masks when we were in the bathroom with them discussing how we wanted the tile laid (direction), etc. Otherwise, they didn't wear them which we had no problem with. We are now fully vaccinated and got our second shot on Mar 19 so we hardly think about it anymore. We wear the masks where we have to, but otherwise, we do not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get triggered with fear from the constant news coverage of covid. They can't process when it is ok to take the mask off but can breeze through college calculus. Maybe a few -- but I doubt that's even a decent minority of the number of people I see doing this on the regular. The same people I see walking around with gloves on in the grocery store, driving their car, talking on their cell phone, etc. . . . I just wonder what happens when they take the gloves off. They've had gloves on and touched everything under the sun, then take the gloves off presumably when they get home and touch the same things they just touched with their gloved hands. hmmm where is the logic there? Or, better yet, the grocery stores with plastic over top of the credit card key pads. Never once have i seen those plastic covers get wiped down between use. So what is the purpose of the plastic? Touch the keys, touch the plastic, it's ALL THE SAME THING! LOL It just makes me shake my head sometimes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
