The comment about Americans getting Google PhDs was a broad generalization. Medical doctors also aren’t PhDs. |

You're right, that was a pretty wide brush... no offense intended. Consider the brush stroke retracted.

I do like the mask. Also love Etsy. Have found some real interesting antique pieces on Etsy as well as a lot of hand made products.

Old fashioned surgical mask on one of my fellow mountain bike patrollers.

New mask to go with 16710
This mask pairs perfectly with every watch in my collection:

Great combo! I'll have to hunt down one of those masks to wear with mine.

how could this possibly be derived from his comment? he has 3 layers of skin, an immune and a respiratory system all evolutionary designed to protect against foreign cells. when you cut through those barriers,like a surgeon would, it's fair to assume people are taking extra precautions to insure there isn't infection. He went out and bought a custom mask with a personal viewpoint on it. he's playing by the rules and having a little fun with it, why be so harsh? A majority of places I go(very few since the pandemic started), many employees aren't masked or don't have them on properly, I made a comment yesterday to one of the clerks since none of the workers in the store were wearing them(all the customers were) and he gave me his whole life story about how he had all these medical conditions that made it so he couldn't wear a mask. which was the case when I was at a gas station and some lady was screaming at the cashier about not wearing one, she said it was a hippa violation to even comment on it, which I thought was hilarious but got out because I didn't want to listen to the drama. and not all places even have mask mandates as far as I know. We do here in michigan, but most police agencies refuse to do anything about non compliance. |

I've never robbed a bank, without wearing a mask.
Wore it all the way back to the hideout too. |

It never ceases to amaze me how many people seem to believe that others should be allowed an opinion only when it aligns with theirs.

Based on the fact that you have a logo from UNC on your profile where a student sneezed recently and they sent all the children home I am not surprised by your intolerance.

It’s a picture of a mask that goes along with with the narrative that there is some sort of ulterior motive for recommending masks. I don’t see anywhere where the comment was “playing by the rules.” We all have skin and immune systems, but that doesn’t mean that they’re perfect. Otherwise we wouldn’t have any infectious diseases. Wearing masks can help us resume a more normal existence. As for HIPAA, it doesn’t apply to private citizens, only covered entities and business associates. There would be nothing wrong with you asking. He doesn’t have to divulge but that’s just wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

And as I know UNC does not encourage their students to attend school I understand that you can not spell Duke correctly. |

I don’t “let” the media tell me what to believe. I read our scientific journals and listen to my physician classmates and colleagues on the front lines (many who incidentally went to UNC or Duke). Yes I wish people would take influenza more seriously and get vaccinated. Hand washing, non-handshaking and other current measures would also decrease flu-related deaths. As for mortality, you can find deaths due to influenza and compare it to coronavirus. We’ve had probably three times the deaths with coronavirus, even with shutdowns, social distancing and masks. You can reduce your risk with vaccination for influenza, not coronavirus. If you want to make it personal and take shots at my alma mater, have at it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I personally rely on eleven years of training and 26 years of emergency medicine practice to decide what information I believe. If you think that Covid is like the flu, you’ve been deceived by Facebook or whatever authoritative other source of medical information you read.

"I'm sorry, is this the five minute argument, or the full half hour"?

I’ve learned, however, that arguing the validity and value of science and medicine in 2020 is a waste of breath. But sometimes I can’t help myself.

These days everyone with a Facebook account is a scientist/MD. The “it’s just the flu” bros can’t be convinced.

Since mid-August, 922 frontline healthcare workers in the US have died of Covid. It’s real to their friends and families and to the remaining workers worldwide who are struggling against a slow-motion mass-casualty incident that doesn’t end. The mental toll on these people won’t be calculable for a long time.
