I know that's what people are being told, but the truth is that wearing a mask absolutely reduces your risk, sure the virus can slip through but you are still reducing you risk because the virus will usually is attached to larger particles. If someone sneezing in front of 1000 people and 500 of them were wearing masks you bet you ass more mask peeps would prevent infection.
The problem is that there just aren't enough masks for everyone. It's obvious that masks should be saved for those in the medical profession and those caring for the infected. It's just sneaky how the narrative is "oh they dont even work"

This. Even the act of wearing a bandana before your nose and mouth offers some degree of protection. It wont stop the finest particles, but the bigger ones garanteed to infect you, to some degree. Its like entering a smoky room. Its better than nothing.
They just need the mouth masks for medical staff.
Back in January I sourced my mouth masks and nitrile gloves ethically: from a tattooshop supplier, so cool looking masks and gloves already diverted from the medical supply line.

Just for fun, let's take a minute and consider all the good things that will come from this (after all the terrible shit)
I bet a lot of old ideas will die with all the old people
I'm sure this will be a unintentional climate saver or delayer. Honestly we needed to take radical action and now we are.
Maybe we'll see that GDP isn't the most important thing after this

So last week my mom flew back from a three week trip to Cambodia, Vietnam, South Korea and Japan. I waited in the airport for an hour to clear customs. She was sick for the first three days she was home. Earlier this week I got a fever of 100.5 for a few hours and had chest pains. We have both since gotten better. I’m really hoping now I had it and I’m immune now. I guess only time will tell. My mom was out playing tennis this morning.

I wish! They've imprinted and indoctrinated their offspring. It gets filtered little by little though. Change is inevitable and necessary, but it's slow.

That's true, but I'm sure it will have some effect with a lot of the older folks no longer being here to vote.
But more so I think that people will hopefully understand how frail our system is and take things like climate change more seriously. People aren't willing to make sacrifices when they can't touch and feel the threat.

Started getting a tickle in the back of my throat and some chest congestion 2 nights ago. No fever yet and it hasn't gotten worse. I'm armed to the teeth with everything I could find that has been demonstrated to inhibit coronavirus replication. Fingers crossed.
Good luck my dude. When this is all over and I come out for Bernie's inauguration, we should get together and blow some shit up.

I contacted him this afternoon. His fever is way down but he still feels like he's breathing on half a lung
We are monitoring him

In developing nations, the basic strategy is to secure a big bag of rice into an airtight foodgrade vat, All the other food you can get is a plus, but the rice makes you *not die*.Quote:

I do suggest to try get him tested, and if its bacterial to get him on antibiotics.
What you described of him so far could be consistent with COVID and pneumonia.
If this is pneumonia (regular or covid) and he has a sharp turn for the worse you may lose him 
That his breathing feels very restricted may be a sign of pneumonia by any cause, He probably has a rapid heartbeat too.
Its not just about him, if he turns up positive he becomes another datapoint 9in charting the viral development which ould save multiple lives.

SARS-CoV-2 = Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2

"looking like shit" is not in the infographic but can be a sign of getting insufficient oxygen. Even if he has a bad flu, the fact that his breathing is restircted might point to a secondary infection that may need antibiotics. Flu generally doesnt lock you out of parts of your lungs.

Its been said before but the Chinese did research on the day people developed symptoms and found that at the onset, the amount of virus in the throat was 10,000x that of SARS. That means that just he act of exhaling is infectious, not just coughing and sneezing. The very act of breathing brings enough virus in the air ot be contagious.
