Hey, check this thread out if you’re interested.

 

 

There’s a number of different styles to choose from depending on what you’re looking for. Ive been making the blue shop towel masks for my family (the one with 2 layers). I was able to find the right type of shop towels at autozone. I believe harbor freight might have them too.

 

 

Stay safe out there! Happy Easter!

All of them must have gotten tested.

 

That is why they had a big party. ?

Is that like "New York man ignores scientific evidence when it pertains to number of genders"? Asking for a friend... and wondering which science is the real science

[The Red King]

The main problem is, people can be asymptomatic and still transmit it.  We tend to be of the mindset that if we're feeling fine, there is no risk.  That's why some people mistakenly believe large gatherings are perfectly fine so long as nobody appears sick.  Stories like the OP infuriate me for just that reason.  There is no reason to be that reckless.  If even one person there had it, even without symptoms, it could now be passed on to any number of others in attendence.  Hope a party was worth potentially spreading this further.  Idiots.

Real science is...it has been proven that you can have the virus and pass it to others, even if you show no symptoms.  That clear it up?

Quote

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, N.J. – A gathering of an old-school Italian-Catholic family from Freehold Township became the epicenter for a New Jersey cluster of the novel coronavirus that has now killed four family members and left several others hospitalized (and at least 9 sick).

 

Rita Fusco-Jackson, 56, was the first in the family to succumb to the virus March 13  after being treated at a local hospital. Her brother Carmine Fusco, 55, died in a Pennsylvania hospital on Wednesday, just hours before the death of the family's matriarch, 73-year-old Grace Fusco, said Monsignor Sam Sirianni, the pastor of the Co-Cathedral of St. Robert Bellarmine, the family's church.

 

A fourth member of the family succumbed Thursday, 53-year-old Vincent Fusco of Manalapan, Sirianni said. He also had been hospitalized. Vincent Fusco was the fourth-oldest of the family's 11 children.

 

Three of Grace Fusco's other children remain hospitalized with the coronavirus, two of them in critical condition.... citing a family spokesperson.

 

Quote

David Cennimo, an infectious disease expert at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, said models from China have estimated that up to three-quarters of COVID-19 cases are related to the virus spreading in families or among others who share close contact with people who are sick.

 

They haven’t even been able to have proper funerals for their deceased family members (and all 4 died alone in isolation). It’s a nightmare scenario.

Are you doubting me that I have been delivering food to people the last 3 weeks? Because I've been risking my life so that other people can eat and tons of elderly people are extremely thankful

Yes you can still catch it wearing a mask especially since with everything being out you'd probably have to improvise one but that's not the point. The point is it helps prevent you from spreading it.

How does this still not compute to people?

Look, let me make it simple:

First, if they want to put themselves at risk, more power to them. But the fact is that they are putting their entire community -- including at-risk individuals --  at risk by doing what they're doing. 

Second, when people do this kind of thing, it spits directly in the face of everybody around the country making sacrifices right now. It invalidates our stay-at-home efforts, and it says in a loud and clear voice to medical personnel: "We don't care about you or your life".

Bottom line: The longer people like Prescott commit these selfish, self-centered, short-sighted, disrespectful, negligent acts, the longer society has to stay shut down. You want everyone to go back to work? You want the economy to recover? You want people to stop dying? You want to have an NFL season this year? Then everyone -- including rich athletes -- needs to STAY THE ***** HOME!!!

 

This.  
 

this kind of stuff drives me nuts.  The fact that it’s a “violation” and a fine is ridiculous.  The punishment should be FAR worse and should include jail time imo.  It’s a pandemic.  Wake the **** up people!!

I handle money and credit cards and a whole bunch of way more transmittable ways then being in front of a person for 25 seconds

 

And as I've said four times a lot of New York state is sold out of masks. I would probably have to improvise

Washing your hands and hand sanitizer(if you can get it) would be very important then doesn't take away the importance of the mask making it as hard as possible for you to spread it the goal and if a simple cloth mask helps at all I don't see why not.

This is pretty horrifying even if we slow it's process through the health care system with how lethal this thing is that's a lot of dead people for us to get herd immunity.

Being stubborn AF is seemingly American these days.  Lacking common sense.  Lacking discernment.  Lacking discipline.  That seems to be what American is.   These, in the grand scheme of existence, temporary measures, might keep you or your loved ones in good health or alive.  Even more, it might keep your neighbors the same.  Folks can go read books; play video games; pray; meditate; exercise.  Folks can survive without having to be in large groups for a time.

My Trans professor in my 700 level class in cultural studies couldn't answer this question either. I really wanted to know why gender identity was SO accepted, yet all other identities were taboo to them. I guess "he" was more comfortable stating that being "male"(his terminology) was how you felt, but "him" saying a person born white can identify as black was a little tougher in a class filled with minorities. Why? What's the difference? It can't be science... Why can we change our gender identity, but not any other identity?! That seems very narrow minded. Heck, even income identity should come into account in this land of make believe. If you are born a rich white boy in the Hamptons, yet you identify as a poor old minority lady, who are we to not allow him(well, now her i guess) all the benefits our government has to offer for such an identity?! It's his choice! We should accept it!

 

This is only in response to the person who wanted to distinct sex with gender, yet gender can dictate bathroom use, showers, locker rooms, and sports eligibility. It would seem that our country treats gender as if it were sex. Geez, again I apologize and I will crawl back under my rock and watch from afar. I don't mean to go on these rants, but when I see a certain political point of view not being reined in on a sports forum, I feel someone has to stand up.

It’s because of dumb asses like this marshal law will be declared. With what little they really know about Covid-19 this Is very disrespectful to family, friends and whoever they have contact with afterwards. Over privileged and incompetent people are two of the main reasons this thing will hit harder here than anywhere else.

FYI masks and gloves can be found on amazon and I presume ebay as well. Takes a little looking these day but I got mine in about a weeks time. If you are classified as an essential employee your employer may now be required to provide you with a mask. Seems like a lot of stores are making them

mandatory now.

 

I hope you are actually using that hand sanitizer, for both your sake and those you come in contact with. Stay Safe!

Cultural Studies was one course of my masters program. That class was money wasted considering the logic they used destroyed their own argument's defenses. They talked in circles and denied logical conclusions/applications. But the Masters program itself was very enlightening and money well spent.

But, I can tell that you know a LOT! I can say I am a girl even though I was born male(but a cultural professor would say I was born female from the start, even though I was born with a tally wacker)... but can I say I am black even though I was born Caucasian? Why, or why not?

This is the last I will speak of this here, but since you're a Logical man, check out how many deaths are attributed to poverty. Also, check out the approach Sweden is taking. I guess time will tell which is correct.
