A family I know has the COVID-19 now, and this in according to being tested due to the recent illness. Yep it's starting up again so it seems or rather it never left. Everyone be alert, and take precautions as necessary. You are all right about many things, so don't wait for big brother to tell you what to do, and just do it (in the sense of taking precautions for yourselves by whatever means necessary), and this before tragedy starts or strikes.
God bless, and stay safe.
Hope those you know fare well. I remember at the beginning of this COVID 'pandemic' my doctor told me that keeping one's hands clean was the best defense. He thought wearing a mask would promote the hand-to-face pathogen infection that is most common because one has to touch the face to put it on and adjust it from time to time, etc. IOW, a mask encourages you to touch your face and, you are most likely to contract a pathogen that is on your hands when you touch your face which is an almost instinctual human movement.
I have not worn a mask much during this 'pandemic' but I am cleaning my hands more than before. I have not had a cold or the flu or COVID or anything else. I don't need the government to make me wear a pathogen inducing mask.
Thanks, and I only wore a mask when going into businesses that required one. Never wore a mask other than when required to do so by businesses that have a concentrated customer traffic. Kept my distance from hazards that were explained by the health official's.
Have a co-worker that never wore a mask, never sanitized his hands, and never changed his ways, yet he never caught the thing.
My wife tended to me after I got the thing, and she never got it. Only affecting certain people for some reason, but not other's. Can't figure out how I got it, because I was doing all the safety measures when required, yet I still got it.
Seemed to hang around for the same time span that any other severe winter or summer cold does (around 4 weeks). Had problems for an additional month (it seemed) after that. I'm an old feller, so it's understandable that it messed with me like that.
The lock downs in other State's seemed extreme to me, because if a person isn't susceptible to it, then why destroy their lives by making them comply to draconian measures in a blanketing of all people's, otherwise when we see that most aren't affected at all by the thing ??
Why not studies to find out why some or many aren't being affected by it ?? What is in their make up that keeps them safe ?
