Won’t be back to RJS

I’m tired of talking about masks and the virus.  Let’s get back to football.  So how did the Bulls look last night?

Dude, the main reason we're talking about masks and the virus is because of how the Bulls looked last night ....

Masks and the virus are a more uplifting topic

Do yourself a favor and stay in Spain.  Show me one study that says these masks make a difference.  Masks have become a fashion statement and a way to virtue signal.  Some are bedazzled, some are crouched, some are buffs worn as masks and most people don’t wear them correctly anyway.  If the entire nation wore properly fitted N95 masks that would make a difference, but thats not happening is it.  The whole thing is a sham to get people to live in fear because when a society is in fear they can be controlled.

And just for the record I’ve had the China virus and I’ve donated plasma.  So STFU!

I can not provide you with one study to support masks work, El Toro, though we now have over two dozen as I am a physician.  Here's the evidence summarized in perhaps the most prestigious  journals in the world, Nature, JAMA and PANS . I recognize that it doesn't fit your thesis that 'masks are a fashion statement'.   I'm honestly not here to argue with you but misinformation is just that and must be corrected so others don't propagate stories that are untrue.

When you're spaced 50 ft apart?  That's his point...sorry let me add...outdoors...

Masks save lives  it's a fact but just because the results are supported by government agencies there will always be idiots that believe it's a conspiracy.  Just like the idiots that choose to smoke.  Here puff on this and we guarantee that it will knock 10-20 years off your lifespan...all the smokers say ******** I'll smoke because I want to and I'll prove you wrong.  My Dad was like that, I buried him two years ago (he died from lung cancer).  For the last 9 years, My mom has been tied to 30' of tubing  that's attached to an oxygen machine so that she can breath.  Guess what..she was a smoker too. 

The world is full of idiots.

Exactly!  I follow the rules on masks everywhere I go.  I just felt that being outdoors with no one within at least 50 feet and having to take it on and off while drinking a beverage is excessive.
