N Carolina may ban Mask Wearing

[Dr. Evil]

Yes your eyes are exposed and yes they are a mucous membrane where a virus can pass through but it’s about reduction of risks and wearing a mask would reduce your risk of getting sick just like handwashing does. Is it foolproof heck no and far from it but I wear a seatbelt when I drive and carry a gun while in public. Does it mean I won’t get shot and killed or die in a car accident no, but it reduces my risk of dying.

Straw man argument. The difference is in your examples you can do things over a lifetime to make yourself adapt, have an immune response and come out on the other side better for it. Can't do that related to seatbelts and carrying. You can belt and carry all you want but it doesn't build immunity from a crash or getting shot even if you did those things for decades.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Same concept. Surgeon wearing a mask keeps spit out of your body cavity and a mask can or may prevent you from breathing in others spit droplets. It reduces it.

A loogie landing in your open body is very different than aerosol being inhaled.

I guess I really don't care. In principle I don't like the idea of states telling people what you can or can't do if it doesn't affect others.

If you want to wear a mask, you should be able to do so. Generally today if I see a mask wearing it's usually someone who clearly looks like a fringe lefty kook and it's my guidance to steer clear of them.

Honestly, if I was going through chemo treatments or something it would cross my mind to wear it in public.

Actually they can. As stated most common colds and viruses are passed by contacting a door handle and putting your hand on or in your mouth or through airborne droplets when a cough or a sneeze occurs by an infected person. A mask can help reduce the later in this scenario and keep droplets from being airborne or getting sucked into your mouth or nose. So if a person who has compromised immunity wears a mask in public and practices proper handwashing their likelihood of catching a cold or the flu that could be deadly for them is greatly reduced.
Masks in general didn’t work for COVID because people didn’t wear them properly and failed to wash their hands adequately among other reasons. Were masks ever going to stop the spread or be 100% effective heck no. I don’t wear a mask, I don’t want to wear a mask, I hardly ever get sick but I think people should wear one if they have severely reduced immunity for their protection and they should have that option. There’s a lot to consider here.

The eyes are exposed. So double no... Which mask do you prefer?

The problem, - which is what NC will largely solve with this proposed law, is that there are too many idiots still wearing masks out in public, and thinking that they will protect them from a virus that can pass through said mask unimpeded. And then you have the thugs and other lowlifes using mask wearing to cover their criminal acts.

I kind of like the idea stated earlier in this thread: basically get authorization to wear one from a licensed physician, and be prepared to show it if asked. And if you get stopped otherwise, pay the piper. There are just too damn many lowlifes hiding behind them.

Speaking of the immune system.

I grew up on an old school family farm, I grew up playing in cow shit and eating dirt.

I didn't have helicopter parents and my days living as a rural farm kid were dirty and at times probably disgusting as fuck. LOL

I'm 60 years old now and I have never been severely sick up to this point. I'm not on any or need to be on any prescription medication. Everything is good with my health thus far, at 60 I think that's pretty good.

Especially considering the fact that I have worked around one hundred billion hard fucking hours with the weight of the world on my shoulders at times. And I smoke cigs, and I drink a fair amount of beer. Plus I have probably eaten a KaBillion Whoppers.

But I'm still doing good at 60 years old, of course, moderation is key. Either way, I'm blessed with a God-given healthy immune system and that's a game-changer.

I believe that an immune system needs to be challenged. It needs to have a constant workout to become strong and effective.

Maybe I'm just lucky IDK. But I think my resistance to the assorted shit that most people around my age deal with has something to do with my growing up playing in dirt and eating cow shit...
Wait, what?

No luck there. Being exposed to things is the way your immune system learns how to respond. That's how you prime the pump. The kids that are sheltered from the world, wipe everything with anti bacterial spray and take every drug and shot known are the ones in trouble. Look at the explosion of auto immune issues (asthma, allergies, etc.) over the decades with our youth. Comes from a lifetime of doing the opposite of what they should be doing. It is a great business model though for big pharma and the medical community.

You mentioned allergies, I'm not allergic to anything that I know of.

I always thought that was kind of strange being that a lot of people are allergic to something or another.

I'm telling you, growing up playing in cow shit and eating dirt does the immune system good. I'm half joking but I do think there is something to it. I have lived a hard fucking life but I don't seem to be worse for wear compared to a lot of people my age.

That is a fair point. Every protesting asshole destroying things wears a mask. Anyone robbing a place wears a mask.

I don't like the idea of states telling people what you can or can't do if it doesn't affect others.

That's the thing, though... the States are claiming that what you do IS affecting others, and use that lie to justify draconian edicts.

I can't believe we're back to the whole "but muh droplets" argument.
Unless someone sneezes directly into your face you are not likely to catch anything from someone else. You will more likely get it by not washing your hands before you pick your nose.

You mentioned allergies, I'm not allergic to anything that I know of.

I used to have seasonal allergies. Then I decided to get my immune system on the right track by getting it used to those pollens in a more controlled way. First using a product that introduces them via drops under your tongue, then the natural way by eating locally made honey.



I like the idea of just tacking on an additional charge for wearing a mask in the commission of a crime. That would only affect those who would use it for nefarious purposes, and leaves the "criminally stupid" to wear their face diaper whenever they want.

 

[Cooolone]

Hahahaha, totally dismissing the efficacy of using a mask for health reasoning...

I'll just say this, with a compromised immune system while Covid was raging, I used a mask. As did my wife, but not just about/for Covid. Interesting thing is I didn't even get a cold those 2 years. My wife got Covid 2x and the flu... Lolz

So go figure! I do use various supplements to boost my immune system and also antiinflammatories! I'll just leave that all there too. I'm still compromised but don't use masks unless at a medical facility (monthly) because there's always shit floating around and I don't want none of it! Lol...

That's my anecdotal contribution to this silly discussion. Again, the mask issue in NC has nothing at all to do with Covid, but the wearing of masks in public for the purpose of shielding identity, let alone while committing a crime!

An oldie but goodie...




Another one...

Meh, one more, why not?

Part of keeping a healthy immune system is clean fresh oxygen.. Just a little common sense there. Breathing back in your bodies exhaust is not healthy...

 

[Saltwater60]

The eyes are exposed. So double no... Which mask do you prefer?

I prefer none but I don’t care if others wear them. I wear one while sanding heavily or mixing concrete products. Oh and sweeping the garage or basement because I get a sinus infection if I don’t.

I agree. Those particles can clearly been seen. Virus, Nope.
