Did Texas "Re-open" too Soon?

I know that people have to get back to work. It's none of my business what people want to do, but I'm keeping my ass at home for the most part until things settle down a bit. Originally Posted by Lucas McCain

I don't want to add to any anxiety they may be feeling either, but, at the same time, I don't want them to lose their jobs and homes and go hungry. I also don't begrudge anyone wearing a mask voluntarily outside, or if an establishment requires patrons to wear a mask in their place of business. But taking all of these choices out of the hands of the people for long periods of time, just because another part of the country with different parameters is nowhere near ready to "re-open", is short-sighted.
Follow me around. This weekend I wasn't wearing a mask and two places people who wearing we're said it's OK for me to come in. Both places people didn't say shit. Another place didn't try to enforce.

Or is this this a tip comment "Levi"?


Maybe. I've read articles that mouth to mouth isn't effective either but this gym owner likely gets dozens of requests from his female members for it. Originally Posted by gnadfly

For which states does PissLousy want to provide Federal assistance?

Broke Blue States! Where they are imposing lockdowns.

Wearing a mask doesn't protect you from getting the virus. I keeps you from spreading it if you have it with no symptoms. Originally Posted by farmstud60

How masks protect us

Dr. Dweik confirms that those homemade masks, often made of material like cotton, won’t do much to protect you from inhaling particles that carry the virus. But they do protect wearers from possibly spreading the virus to others.

“There is evidence that such masks reduce the exhaled aerosols from infectious, but asymptomatic, individuals.” he says. By blocking the exhale of virus particles in to the air around you, your mask is keeping the virus from spreading

But if they don't want people like me in there, I have no problem with that and I don't remotely blame them. I respect it and I look forward to the day I'm welcomed back again and there are definitely no hard feelings on my end. I don't hold grudges. I know I'm being irrational and carefree. I don't blame establishments for not wanting people like me around during these dangerous times.

This why this Pandemic is a Psyop. Only about 25% of the information about this virus is accurate the rest is total nonsense and media hype.

Well if you think that you are possibly harboring an antigen associated with Covid-19 and although you aren't displaying any symptoms if you think you can still transmit the disease to others then by all means wear a mask if it makes you feel better.

Now, if you have tested negative it is a defense to not wearing a mask.

If you tested positive, lived, and recovered - you should have immunity via antibodies and no need to wear a mask - party on!

Hmmm.. so I heard this morning that Texas is counting new confirmed Corona cases as those who test positive and those who ARE DISCOVERED TO HAVE THE ANTIBODIES.. huh?

if you have the antibody, that should reduce, take away from the total, not ADD to it!

what Libtard is doing the counting?
