    If she survived bringing you up then she can handle anything

    woo-woo-ism

    There IS science based evidence. One only has to look beyond Main Stream Media. Talk about woo-woo-woo .... watch out... that light at the end of the tunnel is a huge train called TRUTH.

    PTL he recovered

    Do you think if everyone in hospital wore a mask he wouldn't of got Covid
    Forgetting the politics I have heard stories of patients having their masks full of filth in hospital and not getting changed

    IMO wearing a mask is still preferable in hot spot areas

    If they were consistent then their argument would be more acceptable - true reports of mainstream left media and Democrats getting caught not wearing masks

    I know WOO WOO when I hear/read it. There is a doc on YouTube and FB who calls himself Dr. Z, that you might want to listen to/read. He's more on the libertarian side but when it comes down to COVID, he has a lot of EVIDENCE-BASED facts on it. He does interviews sometimes with other docs who he may have some disagreement with, but he is open to looking at things from different perspectives. Get away from the woo woo folks A. J. they are not serving you well. ETA...I spelled woo-woo right in that post, you were mocking me without cause

    Without cause?

    You have no idea how thick your blindfold is.

    So how long between the assumed exposure in the ER and the test?

    Correct, only certain masks can be preventative. The mandate is a farce because most masks are just a display of submission, and do nothing to actually prevent anything.
