Effects of Not Wearing a Mask

You are delusional. This is all overblown like crazy. It is all about wicked people at the top trying to usher in a form of dictatorship. Look at all the rights and liberties people are just letting the government take away. Look honestly at all the long term effects! COVID is a flu strand that is on pace to kill (world wide) only twice that of a regular flu season. This is not even close yet to a top 10 cause of death. If you want to turn a blind eye to all of the effects of listening to what you are told. If you want to go right along with ushering this country in to a dictatorship go right ahead. I'm sure Iowa Football will be real enjoyable during a dictatorship.
ding , ding the stupidest post of the week has been posted and it is only wed .

CDC was/is a joke. Blame China not Trump. At least he calls a spade a spade.

What a joke of a post by an uneducated (definitely not an Iowa grad) tool. Your lack of any medical knowledge makes you a great critic of the CDC. While they made mistakes, the overall work has been for our benefit. If you had called out the WHO, you'd have much more support as their errors have caused greater harm.

2nd, you don't blame our leadership at all? How is it that other countries are seeing their numbers drop dramatically while we're increasing? Others are beginning to slowly reopen while we've got states shutting down again. You can blame China but our response (or lack of) is on Trump. Ignoring inept response is ignorant and shows a complete lack of awareness or just ignoring the spade.
 
It's not a right if it requires another persons consent. You have a right to protect yourself, but you don't have a right to force other people to protect you.
 
I mean if you look at it statistically it’s not the disease everyone thought. The avg death of COVID is older then the avg normal death. It’s been shown time and time again most people’s immune system pushes this thing off and doesn’t even realize it or has flu like symptoms for a couple days and then is ok. People who died have preexisting conditions. Quarantine the elderly quarantine the immune compromised people everyone else get on with your lives. The tanking economy will ruin more lives then the BS disease.
but they were alive with those pre-existing conditions and they catch covid and now they are dead . sooo what caused the death ? not rocket science .
 
Are you stupid? You are saying it ‘only’ will kill twice the flu does in a year. You fail to see that it’s only been four months and three of those months people were social distancing/quarantining. This is nothing like the flu.
great post !!!
 
I know 2 people that have been hospitalized for 3 to 4 weeks. Both late 40's to 50. One had to be placed in a coma to save him. Both are out now, but yeah, this can be serious even for those under 60. By the way, neither had pre existing conditions.
 
asystematic individual with no mask talking within a group can easily infect at least 1 other individual and possibly the whole group due to the virus contained in the droplets. That same individual wearing a mask the chances of infection to others is reduced. Doesn’t matter if it reduces that chance 5% or 99%, it works. One thing we can all take away from this pandemic is that this country is full of inconsiderate, heartless, and selfish people.

Link to study? Or making it up?

The flu can be serious, strep can be serious, a multitude of things are serious.

Still doesn't change the facts. If you are under 60, in IOWA, your statistical chance of DYING from this virus is almost zero.

At some point we need to be real. This virus, like dozens of others aren't going away. Heart disease (650,000 deaths), cancer (500,000 deaths) aren't going away.

Society can't provide "safety" for everyone, never could never will. We must learn to exist with the dangers of our environment.

Closing down our economy is NOT a good idea, $8 dollar milk and $8 bread, food lines and shortages are our future on that path.

Hiding from a .06 micron virus is never going to happen. IF you have a vulnerable immune system, a virus, this one or any number of others, a cancer of some type will get you at some point.

We weigh our risks everyday. We'd never leave the house if we didn't.
 
You worry about Fauci as a paper-pushing bureaucrat but cite doctors who own multiple care centers that were effectively shut down by the closures. You call out bias only to use biased doctors for your support. You're pushing a false narrative as much as MSNBC as there are many doctor rebuttals to those guys.

Fauci is ABSOLUTELY a paper pushing bureaucrat!!

They were not only not shut down, they worked covid cases. Did you watch their video? Or any interviews they had?

Many doctor rebuttals by doctors working in the field? Please provide a link, so I can nitpick them. I have seen plenty of "internet" doctors provide questionable advice, but not doctors actively working with patients.

BTW- hospitals around the country have laid off health care workers, ignoring things like cancer screening and heart disease tests.

So then I guess you are 100% in favor of defunding the police too?

Just one example but the American College of Emergency Physcians and the American Academy of Emergency Medicine condemned it. The problem is that you cannot find any peer reviewed arguments that support these guys nor can you find credible associations that support them. They were losing money like most hospital systems but they privately owned these facilities. You're so wrapped up in conspiracy theories that you can't discern what is a credible resource, a skill taught in college which I doubt you attended.

Your stupidity amazes me. 80,000 people died of the flu in 2018. That was the worse year in 40 years. We are now at 128,000+ deaths. The good ol' USA is the stupidest country on earth. Putting on a mask in every other country is no BFD. But here, it's a political statement. #JFC
The Trump effect in awaking idiots.

And people say presidents don’t matter. Trump’s ‘leadership’ in this pandemic is atrocious. He’s so eager to start the economy, he’s putting us in a deeper hole. Im concerned a major recession is on its way and It could have been prevented with even average leadership.

Oh my god do we need another thread on masks especially on a sports for so tired of the arguments on both sides

Don’t lay this on Trump. How about 100’s to 1000’s of young people gathering at parties with no social distancing and no regard for the pandemic. BTW now it’s the big fad that high school/college punks are having contests to see how many people they can infect. That’s the PROBLEM!!!!! People have to be responsible. Most of this current generation has no clue on responsibility or respect!!!!!

Presidents do matter. Thank GOD for trump.

Dems and their media water carriers are trying to sabotage the economy with their COVID fear mongering. Riots and race baiting.

WAKE UP! It's an election year and TDS is controlling the media. Two great jobs reports in a row.

OVER SEVEN MILLION JOBS IN TWO MONTHS ARE BACK! The economy is growing genius.

The DEM party is rioting, burning and killing. EVERY SINGLE STATE has seen protests spreading the virus.. no one cared.

Now that the riots are petering out they go back to the virus. Spiking due to the protests.

New cases are up and DEATHS AREN'T. Deaths have been falling since the peak April 21st (2749). Yesterday was 676.

But that doesn't stop the fear mongering.

So were not at all overweight or high blood pressure, etc?
 
Why don't all the talking heads on tv news shows wear a mask? They sit in the studios with each other and say everyone should but here they are without any. We would still be able to understand what they are saying. Why don't those beautiful people wear masks on air? They want us all to wear one when outside the home, so time for them to start doing it.

Agreed! The YOUTH and MILLENNIALS are the problem! MAGA/KAG (Keep America Great)!
 
People that don’t wear a mask and social distance hate Iowa football. There can be no other explanation. Unless you are an Iowa State fan, wear a mask so we can enjoy football.

I think we should all be required to wear earplugs to Iowa games due to crowd noise. Hearing loss can be awful. There should be a state law to do so. Maybe we can black out the big screens whenever there is a replay we don’t like. You cannot wear anything but Iowa clothing to home games, if you don’t you will not be allowed in the stadium.

You have the reasoning and critical thinking skills of a 3 year old. And you should probably be required to wear a helmet everywhere you go.

A few days ago, more people had died from pneumonia than covid since March 1. So it isn't a major calamity like the 1918 bug.

Are the countries that managed this well and are either near or on the other side of this all a bunch of dictatorships now?

Earplugs would be for the protection of the person wearing them. Which is not the reason facemasks are being promoted. Have you ever seen surgery performed before? Do you think the surgical team is wearing facemasks to protect themselves from the patient? Businesses in the state of Iowa should be required to mandate no mask no service. Hell, we require seatbelts which is far more intrusive than masks since not wearing seatbelt doesn't have any effect on others.
 
N95 masks capture 95% of particles of .30 microns or larger. COVID particles range in size from .06 to .14 microns. n95 masks are for single use and should be removed with latex gloves discarded after touching mask surface. the mask requires a skin tight seal to prevent drawing unfiltered air. n95 @ .30 microns won't filter covid @ .06-.14 microns. might be better than nothing if worn properly, not touched with bare fingers and disposed of properly. any other masks or face coverings are doing nothing. do the research yourself.
Don't be dumb - you don't inhale/exhale the virus alone. It's attached to droplets (which are much larger)
