How all this went haywire in three months (March/June)
There's no denying, it's a damn mess. Plus we are starting to spike again here in the US, at least in some states. Going to be a helluva long year...
Her: How was church? Was grandma ok? Is she still totally out of it?
Me: She seems alright. She knows where she is, what year it is, and who is president.
And she knows who she is and who I am. That's about all I know too, so I guess she's fine?

Has Covid-19 forced you to wear glasses and a mask at the same time?

By this point my job calling me "essential" means about as much

Cadillac bumper bullets get you every time...
This will make you think long and hard...

I got this from someone who is OSHA Certified. Don't believe everything the CDC, WHO, and the " Health Professionals" are feeding us. It's all part of a bigger agenda.
This is Interesting to me.....
SOOOOO much discussion about masks and I've been researching OSHA tirelessly and I finally came across a synopsis that puts the info into layman's terms.
I am also OSHA 10 & 30 trained..
So Masks?
I am OSHA 10&30 certified. I know some of you are too. I don’t really know WHY OSHA hasn’t come forward and stopped the nonsense BUT
I wanna cover 3 things
• N95 masks and masks with exhale ports
• surgical masks
• filter or cloth masks
Okay so upon further inspection OSHA says some masks are okay and not okay in certain situations.
If you’re working with fumes and aerosol chemicals and you give your employees the wrong masks and they get sick you can be sued.
• N95 masks: are designed for CONTAMINATED environments. That means when you exhale through N95 the design is that you are exhaling into contamination. The exhale from N95 masks are vented to breathe straight out without filtration. They don’t filter the air on the way out. They don’t need to.
Conclusion: if you’re in a store and the guy with COVID has N95 mask his COVID breath is unfiltered being exhaled into the store (because it was designed for already contaminated environments, it’s not filtering your air on the way out)
• Surgical Mask: these masks were designed and approved for STERILE environments. The number of particles and contaminants in the outside and indoor environments where people are CLOG these masks very very quickly. The moisture from your breath combined with the clogged mask will render it “useless†IF you come in contact with Covid and your mask traps it You become a walking virus dispenser. Every time you put your mask on you are breathing the germs from EVERYWHERE you went. They should be changed or thrown out every “20-30 minutes in a non sterile environmentâ€
• Cloth masks: today three people pointed to their masks as the walked by me entering Lowe’s. They said “ya gotta wear your mask BRO†I said very clearly “those masks don’t work bro, in fact they MAKE you sicker†the “pshh’d†me.
By now hopefully, you all know CLOTH masks do not filter anything. You mean the American flag one my aunt made? Yes. The one with sunflowers that looks so cute? Yes. The bandanna, the cut-up t-shirt, the scarf ALL of them offer NO FILTERING whatsoever. As you exhale you are ridding your lungs of contaminants and carbon dioxide. Cloth masks trap this carbon dioxide the best. It actually risks health. The moisture caught in these masks can become mildew ridden overnight. Dry coughing, enhanced allergies, sore throat are all symptoms of a micro-mold in your mask.
Ultimate Answer: N95 blows the virus into the air from a contaminated person.
The surgical mask is not designed for the outside world and will not filter the virus upon inhaling through it. Its filtration works on the exhale. (Like a vacuum bag it only works one way)
Cloth masks are WORSE than none.
The CDC wants us to keep wearing masks. The masks don’t work.
*Occupational Safety & Health Administration cited.
The top American organization for safety.
They regulate and educate asbestos workers, surgical rooms, you name it.
If your mask gives you security, wear it, just know it is a false sense of security.
If stores stopped enforcing it no one would continue this nonsense.
==============================
If work requires you to wear a mask, OSHA requires that your employer verifies you are receiving the minimum of 19.5% oxygen level by law! Are your oxygen levels being monitored while at work? Are you experiencing dizziness and headaches? This is a written law NOT a recommendation! I guarantee if employees started citing law and demanding their employers follow the law then the masks would go away!
So I am thinking a military-grade gas mask maybe?

I don't think many people really believe the masks work at filtering anything.
I believe the intent is that if a person is ill they will cough/sneeze particles into the mask and not the air.
Wouldn't take much to change my mind about that either.
When the subject of wearing masks was first introduced (in US) everything I read (CDC) said they were basically useless.
Then, we were all of a sudden mandated to wear them. WTF?

There are various masks which have various intended purposes. Then there are also low quality masks, which don't really do what they're supposed to do. Then there are people who use the wrong masks for the wrong purpose, don't wear them properly or reuse masks which aren't suitable for reuse.
Here only in public transport masks required (any mask). I think the idea is indeed make sure 'larger particles' have limited travel. So it might help a bit but if someone sitting next to you has corona, it will probably not help a lot. And yes they (cloth masks) should be washed at 60 celsius after use and ideally left in open air for a while after. Not only because corona.
Anyway thing is so much is still uncertain about corona. While in the world of science, uncertainty is almost always there; the policy people (and 'the people' do too, especially if they hear policy people talking about those) demand clear '100% working solutions' so there is a bit of a gap between those worlds.

Yeah, nobody really knows crap about this virus. And in this country now that COVID whatever has gone political, what can you believe?
I am thinking they need to have disinfectant misters that you walk through when you go to the store. Put on your mask, take off your glasses and walk through the mister. Kind of like a disinfectant car wash...

Anything but the political colored information ;-)
The issue with the disinfectant misters is that corona carriers will still carry corona after they went through the mist. So, the original advice is quite sound imo. Disenfect your hands before+after. Don't stay to close to other people, especially indoors. Outside there seems little chance to contaminate, as long as your not shouting into eachothers faces.

The bold is the big red flag here. This nearly total BS - could be some grains of truth but really just throw it the information from that post away. The BS about oxygenation levels is just that total BS. If you look you can find people hooked up to monitors doing various tasks and workouts to show that these masks to *not* cause problems.
The confusion about masks is real only if you were not paying attention. It is true our understanding of the virus has evolved but the original don't wear masks had more to do with supply problems for masks for the people that really need them - health care workers. I remember the message early on was there is no evidence that wearing a mask will protect you in your everyday travels and we need those masks for the people who are in direct contact with sick people. For health care workers the masks are part of their needed protective equipment. If we horded mask like we did toilet paper then the number of deaths of health care workers would likely be higher.
Now that we know a lot more about the virus and the particles that spread it we can see that wearing a mask can prevent you from passing on the virus by a significant amount. Please note wearing a mask has very little or even no protective effect for *you*. It's not perfect but it reduces the number of particles that you project into the environment a great deal. The message that we should wear masks is to help open up the economy and allow people who don't' know they are sick yet to reduce the likely hood of spread the virus around before the know they are sick.
Wearing a mask is our patriotic duty to help our economies to pick back up again and protect our fellow citizens. Do not listen to the anarchists and the conspiracy theorists whose agenda is to sew chaos and confusion.
