I live in philly and it's a constant struggle to get people to do the simplest things, like wearing a mask.
I'm glad my state is on a downward trend but considering how many people willfully ignore social distancing/ masks it makes it hard to believe they have an effect. Because where I am, nobody follows the guidelines. But thanks to the guidelines we are good..? it just seems irrelevant.

How do you not see my point?
This is not correct. Wearing a mask isn’t meant to block particles. It is meant to block streams of virus laden air from being accelerated away from your face. The viruses are still leaving, but they aren’t doing so on a river of air that can travel many feet into other people’s faces.
But even if you think other people aren’t doing it right isn’t an excuse to not do it at all.
I think the data is becoming pretty clear. Look at the states that mandate masks vs. ones that don’t and how they’re doing with containing spread.

Whatever dude.
People want control and the mask gives people a sense of control. I wear my mask all fucking day to protect other because that's what I've been told. But many dont. They wear them around the chin like a beard hair net. I guess they get brownie points?
HOWEVER. I hope I dont die from all the other things we could all be doing a better job combating.. while wearing a mask. Bad irony.

Whoa whoa whoa. I have been told mask are worn to prevent spit particles from flying out of my mouth? Now you're talking about a stream, like aerosols?
It takes hours for that shit to settle, plenty of time for many people to walk through a vapenado and breath in all that air that has been pushed around a mask.
Gotta just edit this in right here.

I know it was Sunday and all, so that may be why those numbers are low. Numbers aren't reported or recorded like on weekdays.
Still, 267 deaths?
Enough to justify this lockdown calamity?
Oh, I have to wait until july before I start seeing bigger numbers.

Right. That's ok and acceptable but holy shit. Wear a mask
On the last couple of bus journeys I've been on, probabaly half the pasengers were wearing a mask.
I feel like I might reintroduce my pretending to talk on the phone when I'm on a bus game. "Hellow, yes I'm on the bus just coming back from town. There's only four other people on the bus two think they are far too pretty to cover their beautiful features and another one thinks wearing a mask under her fukin chin counts".
I might also have to start traveling armed.

to protect myself from these cunts.
A pointy stick to the eye is a far speedier exit than what these cunts are willing to risk inflicting on me.
Just musing.

If you know the Sunday numbers are always depressed then why use it as evidence to support your argument?
I don’t know why you’re expecting deaths to suddenly increase with an increase in cases. We’ve been at this for months and you still aren’t aware it takes weeks on average for people to die after being diagnosed.

But if you think this is the primary reason to wear a mask, then why don’t you? Are you into spitting on other people’s faces?

I'm familiar with black and white thinking - people like you and Bodhi and Hamhead express it well - but anyone with life experience and wisdom knows well the folly of ignoring all the grey and nuanced aspects of life/existence.
Fine, we're all going to die.
Not fine, is people like you espousing ignorance which causes mass amounts of unnecessary suffering, left unchecked.
I posted this in OTD back when koods was a mod
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/25549765#25549765
And you called it out of line. But you'll call a mod you disagree with a black and white thinker. You know shit about me. The ends justify the means when it comes to being self righteous. So go for it and put all the people you disagree with in a box to rationalize what they say. Everyone I disagree with is a black and white thinker. It's kind of hard to learn anything when you plug your ears and yell I can't hear you. You really think I'm a black and white thinker? Then learn to grow mushrooms and see if my guides are clearly wrote by someone who is incapable of colored thought.
One thing in common with people who yell from soap boxes. Being wrong.
All good though people are losing their stoicism with this crisis

Lol it’s funny how I get the rap of banning people I disagree with, because I banned almost nobody in my entire mod career except for unapproved puppets. Just not worth dealing with the whining. Plus, I don’t give a fuck if someone calls me an idiot or a fag, and I really don’t get why people get so worked up about other people saying mean things. (And frankly, the only ones who seem to get all butthurt are the right wingers, which is odd since they like to call everyone else triggered snowflakes)
I’ve banned a few people for blatant racism in the pub only because it’s such a turn off for this site to have that kind of shit going on, and no doubt a reason why a lot of people have left the shroomery.

Well, it has been close to a month since memorial day. I'm curious as to how many were infected then. Oh, must not forget George Floyd and protesters. If there were a lot of people infected then, and it takes on average weeks? How many weeks exactly, about average?
I would imagine with so many becoming infected from May 25th to now, there would be many more deaths nation wide. Being almost 4 weeks.
Takes up to 14 days to show symptoms. If I had to guess, it'd be closer to about 5 days after infection, for first signs of symptoms. Either a soar throat, slight cough, maybe a headache, which I hear is very common.
People may experience: Pain areas: in the muscles Cough: can be dry or with phlegm Whole body: chills, dehydration, fatigue, fever, flushing, loss of appetite, body ache, or sweating Nasal: congestion, runny nose, or sneezing Also common: chest pressure, head congestion, headache, nausea, shortness of breath, sore throat, or swollen lymph nodes
Also, I don't mind being a moron. It's that fucking part that offends me. But I know you don't care, and really, neither do I.

Hey if guys like yourself and Bodhi want to act all cool and detached when talking about the suffering of millions of people and then throw a little tantrum when I call you out on it that's your only lack of maturity showing.
I have never gone easy of people who negate the suffering of others, nor shall I.

What is this obsession with Memorial Day? Do you think that just because that’s when things started opening up, the virus will suddenly infect everyone? Exponential growth doesn’t work that way. But it’s pretty clear from things in Florida were fairly well controlled until around Memorial Day

Both Texas and California had over 5,000 new cases today.
