in a murder case they do not rubber stamp cause of death.
doctors have admitted being pressured to list Covid due to more government funding

If you look at the whole picture it is easier to get an understanding of it. Most of the 'falsifying numbers' shtick is just down to basic misunderstandings of how deaths are recorded and how overall numbers in deaths are calculated, the good thing is that it's quite easy to find out about those things so you can develop a balanced view.

Experts also can not tell us exactly how it spreads.

the spread is "person to person"
extremely catchy & there are examples everyday

1)from an overnight camp where masks weren't required & over 100 kids under 17 caught it

2)to a teen who lost both of his parents to it

3) to a kid who wouldn't listen to his mom & went out with his friends anyway
got it from his friend & passed it to mom, dad, and two younger siblings & dad ends up in hospital on ventilator

it's good the above & other stories are on the news so that people will know this virus is real

They are able to cut staff hours and maintain the same sales.
I have been told, for a certain grocery store, that they cut the open hours, so the workers have time to restock. Customers were coming in late during late-hours restocking so they could hoard items. And then the stockers had to come up front to check the hoarders out . . . when usually not so many customers would come, that late, and draw workers away from restocking.

But yes other places might cut hours with the real intention of selling as much in less time.

But I think it can vary, how that works out. People can be staying home and ordering delivery so stores don't get as much business.

So, for some same thing, there can be different reasons.

I believe there is a proven cure for the virus,and it now is a political virus.
Well, I have been told there is no known cure for the common cold, and coronavirus is a relative of cold viruses. So, I am open to the possibility that it is not going to become managed by a vaccine, just for practical reasons.

Why do you believe there is a proven cure?

I understand this world is evil; so there is no telling what people can be doing. But in the clever strategy of things, worldly people can set up the coronavirus thing to decoy our attention away from what they really are doing. Just keeping our attention to it can help someone . . . to control our attention. Different ones can use it for different conspiracies, though it might only be a natural item that no one started, on purpose. Ones can use it to support different conspiracy theories . . . or conspiracies.

one is required to wear a mask even if one is walking by oneself while outside.
Well, I have not read much about how masking can be harmful. But one idea is that even if you are by yourself, humans are said to touch their faces quite a lot. So, if you don't have a mask on and have not washed your hands after touching various public items, you could contaminate your face unconsciously be touching yourself if you don't have a mask to guard you from your own hands.

But, like I say, I have not done research on how ones are claiming a mask can harm someone. I understand there are ones who can just make things up in order to stop the mask thing. I have seen one possible example of this.

But . . . in case the generally reported stuff is correct > there are people who are out to overthrow it by making accusations which they can't prove. Plus, there are people who just can not follow directions. So, they can make things up to excuse themselves. And such people can go around getting too close and in groups, and then they can help spread the thing.

If there is anything to the mainstream advisories, it can help to have a habit of wearing a mask, so you don't let your guard down at the wrong time when it could matter. But, on the other hand, being careful all the time can emotionally drain us so then we can tend to give up.

Whether it is a conspiracy thing or authorities are not on purpose trying to control people, still it is turning out how humans can not keep on doing a thing like this, without fatigue setting in. So, may be, then, it can't work to get a conspiracy to work, since humans don't have what it takes to keep on being controlled like this.

And not everyone is getting fooled the same way > some are supposing this is all in order to bring down Donald Trump, while others think it is about the mark of the beast, and others believe it is an anti-government strategy by communists trying to bring down democracy, and others take it to be a conspiracy to accuse the left of a conspiracy, and maybe religious terrorists are trying to get this going so women will cover their faces. And there is the possible conspiracy that economic terrorists want to kill off people with preexisting conditions in order to cut insurance prices and the amount of tax money used to treat those conditions for longer than if COVID-19 kills them.

So, you can use this thing to suit your purpose. Take your pick, or make up something else. But beware of where your attention is being taken. Satan can use anything to keep our attention away from sharing with God and how He has us loving. He can use this for His purpose, while He resists whoever He knows really is wrong >

"God resists the proud," we have in James 4:6 and also in 1 Peter 5:5.

A surgical mask that is made to wear in air-conditioned sterilized
environments?
It is a very hot humid summer these masks are either useless or
never intended to be worn for long periods or while working out side
I know they're not intended for my line of work, though we dutifully wear them because we don't want to get anyone else sick or catch COVID ourselves. And I have moments where I feel a bit woozy, or I'll make some dumb mistake because my brain isn't getting as much air as it would without the mask. Though I just laugh it off as me having a "blonde moment". Add to that the fact that the air-conditioning in our workplace is still on the fritz, and yeah... But given how people spin it, I guess my co-workers and I will be canonized for sainthood because of how unselfish we are in wearing our masks in spite of all that. :liturgy:

Let's be clear: If anyone has justification to virtue-signal over it, it's those in this type of situation -- not the average Harold or Harriett who wears one for an hour -- tops -- while running errands. Of course it's not going to seem like a big deal to wear a mask in those cases.

I wonder if anyone realizes there are seasonal Corona viruses?
Yes there are,so you think you may test postive due to having them at least once in your life?
Yes!! Back in '87 I had a nasty H1N1 type thing. Even had difficulty breathing -- not the 'elephant sitting on your chest' sensation, but the type where as evening approached I couldn't take a deep breath because it irritated my lungs and made me cough. I was only about 21 or so, and hadn't yet established my own doctor. At my workplace at the time, if you were out sick for 3 days, you needed a doctor's note. Well, I didn't want to go hunting for a doctor in my condition, so I made myself do what was probably the more difficult thing (because I was a genius like that
EQbJyazr1RR1LQWPdA4ldZmM5eC4LDVfBjcyupgsFOBHz8W5R3hrfzuTY0HLyX0-1n3wn8BUIlgyX3JC21t__yO-2PbZLLp4qjum6oi6PcCWnfCSZnYOZMLXVdW3Hi4KNKyD6RLB
) and go to work. Didn't even bother with makeup because I felt so ill, and so no one recognized me when I went into the office; I was the walking dead. There was something I needed to get don there so I did that, and, soon after, my boss (standing cautiously towards the back of her office as far away from me as she could get), insisted I go home so she doesn't get what I've got. My obvious condition was all the doctor's note they needed.

I'm actually a bit surprised I haven't come down with the 'Rona at this point, as I'm "eligible". I often wonder if the '87 version inoculated me to some degree...

face masks are a good idea,
There seem to be variations about precautions, even with mainstream authorities. I see the six feet rule, but there is the one meter rule, too, which is more like three feet. Maybe there is a tendency to be different, between the United States and elsewhere.

Coronavirus: 'Deadly masks' claims debunked - BBC News

One interesting item I see is both of these sources say we should not wear a mask while we are exercising; but therefore make sure we keep a distance while not wearing a mask. But I have not checked or found this item in American sources. It seems some thing can vary, from country to country, or CDC to World Health Organization.

COVID-19: Considerations for Wearing Masks | CDC

This CDC article says it can be better not to wear a mask while doing intense exercise, but if you don't make sure you keep a distance, but also if possible exercise outside where the air is being freshened. I understand this can be because if someone is asymptomatic and breathing heavily, he or she could be putting virus into the closed exercise space so others can breathe it and their deep breathing can help get the virus into their lungs deeper so they catch it.

What are you basing your assumptions on?
Cloth being worn all day?
a Bandana?
a m95 that let's you breath out fine.
A surgical mask that is made to wear in air-conditioned sterilized
environments?

never intended to be worn for long periods or while working out side

I am leaving this thread, I see little compassion for others here. Mask work to protect others from your droplets and such they are not o help you but others. No one cares anyway we should just run into a fire because water is useless.

Thank you, finally some real sources

What if the sun moon and stars,are in alignment ,and your wrong.
I lost a Son to a brain aneurysm instantly dead.
What did the morons that picked him up ask?
Did He have Covid,or any sign?
I have lost two siblings,due to the flu,and I have no compassion?
Take a look around,there is contradiction on what will treat it,Fauchi predicted it.
While Rome burns we fiddle with contrary methods of a virus we do not know still exists.
America has turned from God,and gone the way of baalam
If you want passion then stand up and condemn abortion,riots
and shunning people because they have a hard time breathing in useless cotton face covering.
Now the good Doctor wants goggles,obey or be shunned for a lack of passion.
What are we to do?
believe CNN or have faith in God?
Good by

This reminds me a lot of what takes place in totalitarian regimes. Turn in your neighbors over “anti-social” / “anti-revolutionary” behaviors.
Yes, this a a scary time.
