How to deal with a friend who thinks COVID 19 is a hoax
Re: How to deal with a friend who thinks COVID 19 is a hoax
Henry, everybody spits wee droplets from their mouths and noses when they speak, and even more when they cough, laugh or sing. Masks are to catch the droplets before they get out into the air. Of course you have to keep your face covering clean like you keep your handkerchief clean

viri laugh as they traipse through, what is for them, giant open doors
while you grouse about the mask foggin' your glasses, viri are out & about, lookin' for the next ride
but: if maskin' up makes you feel better, if maskin' up allows you to more easily identify fellow travelers, then -- please -- mask up
Re: How to deal with a friend who thinks COVID 19 is a hoax
Yes, that is correct for aerosol borne virus, but not for droplet borne virus. Virus sticks to surfaces. Masks do filter out droplets that are possibly carrying virus (bacteria too of course).The more people wear masks the better for the public health.henry quirk wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 4:52 pmviri don't respect most of the masks worn by folks (by choice or through mandate)Belinda wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 4:09 pm Henry, everybody spits wee droplets from their mouths and noses when they speak, and even more when they cough, laugh or sing.

Masks are less effective for protecting the wearer, except for speciality masks as worn for nursing infectious patients. Masking up is a social duty like washing your hands after defaecating.

Projection. Henry claims to own himself, yet he doesn't own his pettiness and childishness which is on full display right now in this forum.
Thought he was better.

I would like you to be authentic. It's not possible or desirable to be unprejudiced but you can aim not to be taken in by clever manipulators.henry quirk wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 2:53 pmpetty, BBelinda wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 7:57 am"a guy like me" is Henry a man who imitates some other guys?henry quirk wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 6:56 pm Masking up is a social duty like washing your hands after defaecating.

then both of you should understand that everything that's been done so far (lockdowns, maskin', school shutdowns, etc.) is prolongin' beer virus; that all these measures have done nuthin' but the opposite of what was intended (what was said to be intended)

What was said to be intended was to flatten the curve: the same volume of cases spread out over time is intended to make sure that resources (e.g. nurses to take care of patients, supplies for the treatment of patients) are adequate throughout the entire pandemic. An example of the resources being too scarce for the demands of the pandemic would be the morgues’ needing to be supplemented by refrigerated trucks.henry quirk wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 11:59 pm I worked in a hospital for acute infectious fevers and have of experience of disease control in hospital and in the community.
