Wow. I did not know wearing a mask stops Covid. Thanks for the heads up. Here are a few facts (imho obviously). The way the virus spreads means the only way to stop the disease is that everyone must have zero (ZERO) contact with anyone else for around 6 weeks (or so). The asymptomatic people will get sick in 2 to 3 weeks and then be sick for around 2 weeks, i dont know this number (maybe one of the doctors on this thread could assist here) and then another week to formally recover. Add on extra weeks if you feel it is necessary. Those who get sick will self identify and go to hospital etc, but its the asymptomatic ones that are the challenge as they spread it unknowingly. Basically, this period of isolation will never happen! So all we are doing is trying to slow the spread. The chirps about me exposing you is slightly in Lala land. the masks are not 100% effective and only partially. So the amount of wee that lands on me does not really matter as i still get wee on me and the wee infects me. (Using an analogy from above) It will continue to spread, and if you get it and die, well then, that is all there is to it. Either you self isolate for the next year or two, or you accept that at some point or other you will probably get it. Yes i am assuming the vaccination (if it happens) will take another year to develop and get issued to the needy masses around the world. But then again, the glory of a capitalist society means it will be months before anyone in the townships get access to the vaccine. I will wear my buff as much as possible, but i need to blow snot rockets, drink and breathe. I managed about half the ride yesterday with my buff up in total. i will also do the best i can to keep the hospitals to a minimum of dying patients by slowing the spread, but i am in no way naive enough to believe that wearing a mask will stop me getting this disease. It is just a question of when. Lets all hope the vaccine will HTFU, and stop the spread of this disease. Also having a s#!*y morning.
