I have allergies and sneeze a lot. Needless to say I take drugs to not sneeze in public, or if I do, it is in the mask.I can't recall hearing anyone sneeze in public in the last 5 months.
I've got a serious question for you. I don't know the real answer because this is not my area of expertise by a long shot, but what if someone were to see a post like that and decide NOT to wear a mask and what if (just humor me for a second) the highly trained professionals at the CDC are RIGHT that it is an imperfect but still highly useful item to protect people...what if the person who decided the posted video was more correct than the CDC and they contracted COVID and died.
Does that bother you in the slightest? I'm not asking to be nasty here. It is something that always troubles me about posting "contrarian" material online. What if the experts are actually CORRECT and the viral video isn't?
(I'm not saying who is right or wrong, just curious how you, as a Christian deal with this sort of uncertainty. When I was a Christian the mere thought that I might do something that could potentially lead someone to death kept me awake at night. You may be made of strong stuff. I'm just curious how you parse this sort of thing. And, again, I'm not being snarky or nasty or anything like that. I'm honestly curious).
It is my opinion that masks don't work.
Part of that is based upon the 40,000 supermarkets in the country and the virus isn't spreading like wildfire in the supermarkets. So what does that mean? It means the virus isn't really in the supermarkets...and there's something fishy going on. So, how does the virus really spread?? What's really going on?

Wait, your evidence that masks don't work is that supermarkets are not associated with large numbers of cases? What kind of backwards logic is that? If anything, the fact that supermarkets don't see a lot of cases is evidence that masks do work. After all, most supermarkets require them.It is my opinion that masks don't work.

Because different areas report their data in different ways. You generally see a spike on Monday because some places don't report over the weekend. Tuesday through Friday generally see a slight negative curve due to further data lag. Then Saturday and Sunday are generally low because, as I said, some states don't report results over the weekend.This is from Worldometer. Scroll down to the graph that shows Daily New Deaths in the United States....Why does the graph show a spike then taper off for about 7 days then spike again? Repeating the pattern over and over.
Perhaps this is a good approach. Whatever works is good.

Make various pro Trump or anti left slogans, put the Flag on it to cater to the ultra patriotic, all lives matter, The perfect call, fake news, russian hoax etc
Whatever works is an improvement on current state.
Yes, I understand it is your opinion, and you have a basis for it based on some random things you've read on the internet. I'm just curious if you are given pause when healthcare experts and professionals give guidance that indicates these are perhaps imperfect but helpful and SHOULD be used.
In a sense (at least this is how I frame it in my mind when I post something online): do I trust MY interpretation of the data over PROFESSIONALS so much so that I am willing to risk possibly leading someone to a dreadful error?
Like I said, I'm not saying you or the CDC are right or wrong (I'm more prone to believe professional scientists but that is me). I'm just asking how you come to a position of comfort by posting things which, if wrong, could hurt people.
(And, again, I can't stress this enough, this is a serious question I have especially when I post something online. I'm just curious how others square this particular circle).
Aren’t pretty much all supermarket employees masked up? Those are the first places where I saw masks.
Given that without a vaccine, the number of proven methods for combating the spread of COVID-19 in the current medical toolbox is extremely limited, so its irresponsible to summarily dismiss the usefulness of masks based on anecdotal accounts!What I have a problem with is the cry bullies who are shaming people who don't want to wear a mask....when the mask they wear do virtually nothing. They think they're being noble for wearing a mask that passes the virus trough the fabric and out through the sides. Some people mask you can look at the side of their face and see their nostrils.
What I've seen on the internet is far from random. I look at the science rather than the shame.
I use to be mask fitted for my job....and I understand what a fit test is. Even with a rubber face mask it's often hard to get a proper seal....the fabric seal is useless especially when you sneeze or cough and pressurize it.
Do I wear a mask? If the sign on the door says so. It keeps the Karens happy.
They don't work.
Rolls eyes.
The bottom line....place the country and world into panic...lock you down...destroy the economy...then allow the New World Order to take over....like your bible says is going to happen.
This may or may not be a precursor to the White Horse in Revelation...perhaps its practice, but it's coming.

Why are many test sites in Florida only reporting positive cases?
