OT: Coronavirus Resources - and other things to not worry about

[axlsalinger]

all climate change studies are inconclusive, until we create another planet set in 1850 and let it develop without the industrial revolution to know for sure!

Let's retest seat belts while we're at it. Double blind only, please.

The results are only valid if we're testing the absence of seat belts against other seat belt alternatives.

speaking of cars - was following an anti mask, pro freedom truck the other day

i was so confused as to why he turned on his signal light - that sures him no purpose - and only helps other people
does he or does he not care about freedumb!?!?!?!


anyway - carry on

Seat belts irritate my my shoulder and make me feel like a pussy. I just hold on to the steering wheel really tight like a man.

Sure

i think i shared this before but apparently my great aunt got a doctors note not to wear a seatbelt when they first came in

I'm just going to assume that this 'the science is ambiguous' on masks thing is a trolling effort, and continue about my day.

I mean, physicians in covid wards definitely only wear N95 respirators because they are fashionable, right?

Also, my friend who works in the ICU treating covid patients regularly, who never contracted covid from a hospital, and wore a fitted N95, must just be a lucky coincidence. Or maybe he has super anti-covid genes. Or maybe he just flexed his beard enough to kill the covid.

Just washes his hands a lot, obviously.

weird how much overlap there is in the Venn diagram of "people who wear masks and otherwise take precautions" and "people who did not get covid"

Probably while singing an on key version of happy birthday

I had Covid once. I wore masks back then. I have neither worn a mask nor as Covid since.

Actually immunity is out there...maybe he is?

Leafsman and I were at a superspreader where 17/20 got it. The three exceptions:

-recent recovery (2 wks)
-recent recovery (4 wks)
-mask wearer

But there were people who wore masks who still got it! Therefore we should ban all masks.

The masks don't work crowd:

1. homemade or store bought fabric masks are probably junk
2. masks of any kind need to fit properly and cover your nose/mouth
3. wearing a mask in a crowd will give you a smaller chance of infection, but time is now your enemy

Make sure you take your mask off to talk.
