TU90 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 So.. masks don't protect you very well, got it. But.. they do somewhat prevent you from spreading it. So.. if everyone wore masks, wouldn't that be the ultimate protection? I'm confused. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sick back in January and felt too busy to go to a Dr. There is an app you can download and you speak to a doctor using basically their equivalent of FaceTime. I got a prescription after a 10 minute consult and didn't even have to go outside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they’re just saying that cause we need to save what’s left of that masks for the health care workers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work out of town and I just jump on wherever I am when I’m free and they get me prescriptions, referrals or whatever I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for sure, what 'some' medical experts are now saying and thus backtracking is 'well why not, perhaps it helps a bit, but I don't really know anymore.' I live in Japan and overwhelming most people don't wear them properly, and on top of that they end up touching their face a lot more as well. I think they turn into germ farms pretty quick. I see lots of people take them off when eating and leave them on tables and so forth so on that point as well they can be detrimental to health.

When this outbreak began, I was constantly tuning in to Trump's pressers for information, now I just tune in occasionally, and that's just for a laugh. The governors pressers are where the real info comes from. Edited April 2, 2020 by skolozsy2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The health minister said yesterday Canada's emergency reserves of health equipment is not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one who's health minister said this was low risk? The one who has run out of emergency supplies? Not defending Trump but we haven't done the best job either. Btw aren't the US testing far more people? I have no doubt there is more cases in Canada they're just not testing as many people. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada is 1/10 the population so we should have 21,500 cases and 510 dead....BUT... ...Canada only has 9,700 cases and 129 dead. Canada's response compared to the US response has been light years better. Give your head a slap... And with respect to your bolded, every country in the world has more cases than the numbers show because EVERY country in the world is only testing a small percentage of the population.

I totally agree with you that our response has been so much better just want to give you one though: Most of the damage in the states has been in the New York area. I think given there lifestyle and how jammed the population is there it was almost a guarantee they were going to get blasted. If you take the state of California which has about the same population as Canada were right on par for cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was living in an alternate reality where the virus was a Democratic hoax, much like the other Chinese hoax, global warming. Unfortunately for this guy, rhetoric only works on the willfully ignorant, not on viruses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
