Mahks Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 We have been living in an era where natural selection has been suppressed (or slowed down) by our technology and medical research. Now we will be selected more directly by our choices. Those making the wrong decisions will be removed from the gene pool along with all the unlucky people. You may rely on luck or work to make decisions based on the best information, like the OP was attempting to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's scary about David Icke is that he'd start out talking about the corrupted financial system with well taken points. Then he'd turn around and talk about the conspiracy theory of shapeshifters and how he can prove that Lizard People run the planet. Jesse Ventura took on to debunk the theory (haha) and found that the all roads of the Lizard People theory led back to David Icke. It basically seems he invented this theory and made a lot of money on it through books and speeches. Even if he were to raise valid questions nowadays given his history he just can't be trusted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Why is this question still being questioned.? If you cough in my face a mask can help. The virus cannot jump out of your eye at me. Wear a mask . No one can be 100% sure they are not a carrier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 IF others are unsure if you are a complete and total dumb selfish a$$#ole, remove all doubt and don’t wear a mask when out in public ! People who are asymptomatic unwittingly spread the virus... don’t be halfwit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ageing population have already passed along their genes... thus, any elders passing as a result of the poor decisions and selfishness of others does nothing for the future gene-pool. Your logic only applies to the young with pre-existing genetic conditions who succumb to this virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about wearing glasses/sunglasses. I always wear when riding motorcycle/scooter or bicycle as I have been hit in eye by bug or pebble and required trip to Dr and eye medication. The face shields they use are not sealed or closed off at the bottom ,just protect dropplets from hitting eys and mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LomSak27 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Noon news is on and some real nasty motormouths are railing against the farang spreaders here in Thailand. I mean its ugly, who cares if it is not true. So when they see you without a mask guess what most of the locals think. Yes it is sad but it is a FACT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching the news from the UK the other evening and despite pleas from the government people are still congregating en mass one group moving between exercise equipment in a park gripping the same hand rails. Australia is no better people were refusing to leave a crowded Bondi Beach in Sydney and had to be threatened with police action. It seems that the lack of critical thinking is a world wide problem. Bondi beach is bogans, kiwis and euro backpackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joined by the natives of most of the world it seems. And if you think masks are hard to find, just try to buy a face shield.

offset Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) I cannot understand why a mask cannot protect you form getting the virus when it coming at you at a slower speed but it can stop the virus getting out when you cough or sneeze and it is leaving the mouth at a much greater speed Can anybody explain why it is like that to me please Edited March 25, 2020 by offset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accidental Tourist Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Wearing a mask is quite useless for several reasons... in regular mask the virus droplets can still infiltrate eyes are NOT protected, and wearing glasses is NOT a solution being in public area is better than nothing, if you are in close contact to other people but you should change the mask every 20 minutes or so, as the become damped (and therefore becoming totally ineffective) when changing the mask touch only the strings AND NOT the tissue of the mask; dispose the mask immediately when wearing the mask try not to touch your face (very difficult as against human habits) Wearing disposable gloves is NOT a solution, as you still will touch surfaces which might be contaminated (and as you don,t wash your gloves, you need to change them all the time (after hand washing) As a Hygiene Officer during my daily work I have to deal with this every regular day of operation, and still being challenged day by day. During this pandemic is has to become a nightmare and a total mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't categorically dismiss Personal Protection Equipment such as a mask by 'you can still get the virus'. Wearing a mask offer a level of protection versus not wearing one. By this rationale wearing a bulletproof vest and helmet in war is useless too - because you can still get shot in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stay 2m away from people a mask is useless. And you are quoting a fact?... because there are enough sources out there which report that Covid-19 can remain contagious and airborne for up to 3 hours To reiterate... IF you have unknowingly been exposed to Covid-19 you can unwittingly transmit the virus though coughing / sneezing etc - a Mask will not prevent the spread, but it minimises the extent of spread when worn by someone who is contagious. For those who don’t want to wear masks: There are two choices, Do your part wear a mask and suffer some minor discomfort whenever you are out in public. Don't wear a mask and be the a-#ole who unwittingly contributes to the spread of this virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
