Why, he had no interest in honest discussion. His argument boiled down to because I said so, and when how the article he quoted was criticized, he doulbled down on the stupidity. Then he had the nerve to say he had to teach me about medicine. He is the one who needs an attitude adjustment. If you post something that I have not seen or have not heard, I would be happy to discuss it. He had no interest other than giving out right wing talking points As with FB, disagree mentally and scroll on. Or just scroll on. Because I am bored today, so people no showed, and one of my meetings got canceled. Nice to have a slow day for a change though

I'm cracking up over here!! Blue is "keeping it simple" so a triple-certified medical pulmonary doctor can understand it. Oh, my sides....! So he says! You know what they say about book smart. Like you say you were a fire-fighter? Kinda like that?

OK everyone, please disengage from this troll. This is ludicrous. BTW- I know more that pulmonaryMD too, because I know woodworking, which is a lot like people. COME ON IN to dem's lung surgery shop for some fine cut rate lung surgery! Cheapest in the county, and effective too! My Sawzall makes MUCH faster work of that ol' lungectomy than those fancy little pointy knives the Doc has! And I'll patch it right up for you with some class A duct tape. Yessiree Bub, you'll never know you miss it! Don't forget to disinfect the wound with some bleach! Just pour it in there!

Didn't read the study, but the main questions to answer are 1 does the number of virus particles that escape the mask remain the same as if one coughs without a mask, and 2 does the radius of infective particles change with a mask. For example, if you are right in front of the person you may not have any benefit, but if you are 4 feet away you get some level of infection. Does not appear the study was designed to answer that question. No one thought that masks would be 100% effective at protecting others, but do they decrease the overall burden of virus in the enviroment. If they do, then they are still helpful, even if they do not work as well as we hoped.

Well, when you have a president and vice president who refuse to wear masks, what do you expect. Leadership comes from the top and the top is deficient. They're idiots too, all of 'em. In what jurisdiction are there not laws against threatening people? Blaming Trump for local authorities not doing their job is like blaming Obama for Ferguson. You can if you want, but you sound like an idiot.

In what jurisdiction are there not laws against threatening people? Blaming Trump for local authorities not doing their job is like blaming Obama for Ferguson. You can if you want, but you sound like an idiot. Ferguson is not a national incident. and it was on the task list for the DOJ.
so, unless you can show us how the DOJ has intervened to enforce national law at the local level, i call this a red herring.

but in this case we are talking about them worrying about things that are well within their control.

Worrying about whether or not you'll get struck by a meteor is worrying about something over which you have no control. Driving 100 mph on the freeway and deciding not to worry about having a wreck because you have no control over that is just stupid. Try telling the cop who pulls you over 'either you get it or you don't.'
