Masks Forever or Two are Better Than One

I just read on Breitbart that the CDC is now recommending masks be worn inside and OUTSIDE whenever you are around people you don't live with. They also want you to have TWO masks. They say this has to go on for at LEAST the next year.

I don't understand how anyone would believe anything that comes out of the Federal Government or one of the medias mouths. People are sheep.

Remember first it was just Two weeks to slow the spread. The rules and goals keep changing. If some government shill tells you to get your nuts cut off and then you'll be okie dokie are you going to do THAT? This last question was just meant for those of you that still have a set of balls, that group seems PRETTY small these days.

 

2008 - Rahm Emanuel's catchphrase "Never let a crisis go to waste" is alive and well in this liberal agenda - Push it for all it's worth - Try reading the Dems Covid bill - most of it doesn't even deal with the pandemic.

 

We are told that seasonal flu was almost non-existent because of wearing masks.
However, covid cases kept increasing.
To me, that is proof that masks do nothing against covid.

 

Your choice. For 97-98% of the population it’s the flu. A little more contagious and potent.
2-3% get pretty sick with .7% mortality.
H1N1 had about. .02% mortality
If you are old, fat, diabetic. Hypertensive. Hide
All masks aren’t the same. One layer of cloth isn’t the same as a N95 or level 3 that you see worn in the hospital

 

Brad, we hear the Chinese have gone to anal swabs to test for COVID-19. It perhaps would logically follow that they are contemplating the requirement for a third mask? There is a great opportunity here for an enterprising entrepreneur to design and market such a device. It could have a carbon filter odor eliminator and other features left to the imagination. Think of it as a sort of unisex tampon or pad. I'll get busy and make the proposal to Dr. Fauci, although I'm sure he's already on top of it, and will take full credit.

 

Fuaci just makes thing up as he goes, He has no idea what he is doing.

 

Yeah, I saw the thing about wearing two masks. Next, they'll be telling us - the only way to stop this virus is for everybody to wear a plastic bag over their head for 2 weeks. LOL Of course we'll have to have a government program to ramp up the production of plastic bags because - didn't they ban the plastic bag in CA?

I wonder if we'll ever be able to walk into a store anymore without a mask? You know the legal departments at these big box stores are going to want to keep a mask requirement. Just like warning labels on EVERYTHING. Has anybody seen a warning label go away? You know the label showing you not to use a toaster in the shower??? The legal beagles are just going to say - let's keep the mask mandate. One more layer of legal protection. And even if this virus goes away you know the CDC, Fauci, big media will find another pandemic in 6 months to take Covid's place.

 

Now, Dr. Bill Gates is calling for synthetic meat, what do we do with all of the Beef cattle that exists as he comes up with these crazy ideas ... 2 masks and synthetic beef all will be good ... Next thing he will be talking blow up dolls ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

I saw that too, Bill Gates is the largest single farmland owner in the US 242,000 acres and another 27,000 of other land. Of course he what's you to eat synthetic meat! I wont dive down the rabbit hole of genetically modified food which can in turn modify DNA!

 

If One is 'good' and two is 'better'--SIX should be three times 'better' than two.

 

One mask? Two masks? A paper mask under the cloth mask? I “fitted” mask? An N95 mask?

Bottom line?

THEY DON’T HAVE A CLUE

 

If any of this crap worked, why are we still dealing with it a year later?

 

Because there’s too many people who don’t believe this “crap” works. Those people, then, won’t wear the crap. Then they get infected and infect others.

 

It is impossible to prove a negative hypothesis. To say that a person will not get Covid-19 if he wears a mask can not be proved. To say that a person will get Covid-19 if he does not wear a mask can not be proved. If a mask will allow air into a person's lungs, the person can become infected. If a mask completely stops air from getting into a person's lungs, the person will suffocate.

The mask argument continues because people are afraid of becoming infected with the Covid-19 virus. I wear a mask in public because my Doctor, who I trust, advised me to wear a mask. All of the current hysteria and hyperbole will not change that.

 

Which "crap"? Instead of rewriting it I'll just copy and paste from my other post.

One mask? Two masks? A paper mask under the cloth mask? I “fitted” mask? An N95 mask?

The MAJORITY is wearing a mask. That means it is a smaller number not wearing the masks.

SO? The the people NOT WEARING one are infecting ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE TESTED POSITIVE.
If everyone had worn a mask from day one there would be no pandemic?

Yeah right,

Don't try and put this on people that aren't wearing masks. The "experts" don't know jack shit about this "virus. Hell, now the WHO is saying they aren't even sure where it came from.?????????????

Besides, you can't go into a store or a public building without wearing a mask. I suppose this virus is infecting hundreds of thousands of people because of......... WHAT?

People not wearing a mask.

OK, you can believe that if you like.

BTW, I'm in my suite at the Hard Rock Guitar Hotel/Casino in FL. as I type this. At the airport we were 6 feet apart as we tagged our bags and checked in. We were 1-2 feet apart going through TSA inspection. We sat less than a foot apart waiting at the gate and we were

2 INCHES apart waiting on the ground with an hour delay and then a 2-1/2 hour flight from PGH. to Ft. Lauderdale.

Yep, everyone was wearing a mask. That is unless they were eating a snack at the gate or eating and drinking on the plane.
Tough to eat with a mask on huh?

Yeah, that piece of paper or cloth would have stopped all this CRAP.

 

I don't know why, but I had to do it ..... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

Never implied that you said anything about "crap." I was referencing the message prior to mine.

Yep, the "experts don't know jack shit. Maybe you could ask around the casino? Glean the more informed minds around there and let us know the real answer to the problem?
Actually, don't... I'll stick to my mask.

 

Thank You! That's the exact reason why I wear one.

 

You WILL stick to 2 masks and like it.

Unless of course the experts tell you to wear 3.

Everyone in this 1.5 Billion joint is wearing a mask. Unless they are smoking, or drinking, or eating, or standing outside waiting for their car to be brought around by the valet. NO ONE is wearing a mask at the pool. Go figure!

I was looking down from my 26th floor balcony and watched a guy get picked up at the helo deck on top of the parking garage. Black Navigator pulls up. The driver gets out. She wasn't wearing a mask. The next guy was I suppose the host of the client. No mask. Then this older distinguished gentleman got out and walked up the steps to the waiting helo. No mask. He and the host had their picture taken together then he boarded the helo and off they went. Oh, the pilot wasn't wearing a mask either.

What was it you wanted me to ask the people here?

 

I sold a nice Winchester Model 50 20 ga. to a man about 3 months ago. Nice guy. Wasn't wearing a mask when I met him and I said that was OK by me, I wasn't wearing one either.

After I got back in the car I googled his name. Well, well, well, turns out he is THE HEAD of the medical department at a very, very large university. He also oversees a nursing home and is on the staff of the hospital close to the university. He has published at least 5 books that I saw on line so I would assume he was pretty sharp when it comes to things medical. Now, he's not my doctor but after reading about him I would trust him.

NO MASK!

Now I'm just hoping someone calls BS and wants to make a bet. I could use another $500 or so.( whatever amount they want to wager)

I won't post this guys name but if anyone is feeling lucky I will PM them his name and they can look it up themselves.

 

I just reread some of these posts. I missed this line the first time around.

the real answer to the problem?

THAT, is the problem. The "experts" don't know the answer. They are just guessing.

 

I was reading a report yesterday by someone who is in the know, now they are questioning where the Coronas Virus originated for certain, they said the WHO is not 100% it started in China but they are certain it started some place ... We can all feel better about it now that we know it started someplace, even if we (they ) don't know where ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

This hunting season I have had roughly 1500 different hunters hunt with us at Thorn Bottom. Many of them have hunted multiple times. We have had exactly 4 hunters masked up, A lot of them had a mask with them the first trip but when I told them wear one if you like but we don't enforce it or wear them ourselves they quickly took them off.

If a piece of cloth makes you feel good wear one, but it is the 40 plus medical people from CDC workers, Heart Doctors, Surgeons, Dentists, Nurses, Veterinarians, and GP's that have hunted with me this year (as they do every year) that ALL have told me masks don't do any good is the advice and the REALITY that I believe.

I went to my Doctor last week for a 6 month check up, his nurse asked if I wanted a flu shot and a shingles vaccination,
but said nothing about getting a covid shot. (I didn't get either) When I mentioned this and laughed we then got into a discussion about the whole mask thing, the political nature of this whole bull shit last year. She told me she had to wear a mask but she knew they did not stop a virous.

 

Of course he was. Did the Google machine also say how many Nobel Prizes he's won?

 

If it weren’t for the innocent people who get infected, it would be entertaining to sit back and watch natural selection take its course. I’d go broke sending flowers with cards that read “I told you so!”

 

Based on the fact the vaccines have been "Lab Tested" and not ran through the normal course of procedures and testing there really is no right or wrong when it comes to getting a shot or not ... If a person feels in their mind it is the right thing to do there is no one stopping them except possibly the vaccine not being available in a certain area for now ... It probably took longer to create the Corona Virus than it did the drug company's to find a vaccine for it, this is only a guess on my part ... I was called twice and told my shot was waiting for me, I declined it both times ... My wife made an appointment to get her shot and they called and cancelled her appointment, never did give her another appointment or follow up date ...
I personally over time have developed a negative feeling about the Medical Profession on many levels so I ask a lot of questions, if I do not get reasonable and logical answers I feel my question was answered (NOT)... My neighbor and his wife both got their shot's, both of them ended up with the Corona Virus, she was deathly ill, he had mild flu like symptoms that held on for several days ... I again prefer to take my chances and not take the shot ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

He hadn't won any Nobel awards.
Did you read the rest of the post or are you acting like you didn't see that either?

You want to make a wager? Like I said any amount you wish to lose. I will PM you the gentleman's name and you can google it yourself.

I'll wait

 

Wagering requires a certain amount of trust between the two wagering parties. I’m sorry, but a story like yours just doesn’t engender that trust on my end.

 

Nice try. I've been a MOD on here from the beginning and everything I have ever posted has been true.

I do have a few questions for you.

You didn't really think I would make a statement without being able to back it up did you?

How long did it take you to realize you stepped in it? When you thought,
"Oh crap, this guy isn't BS-ing me and I need a way out of this."

How long did it take you to come up with that lame excuse for not making a bet?

I'll make it real simple for you. You send whatever amount you can afford to lose to a member of your choice and I will send the same amount to that member.

Then, when you lose the bet that person will send your money to me.

 

I have questions which have so far been unanswered.

If you believe your mask is protecting you, why do I have to wear one?
If your mask IS protecting you, why do I have to wear one?

I believe most of the masks in use do not protect the wearer. .....Since people have been wearing masks for 8-10 months by now, why are covid numbers still increasing?

How does wearing a mask while driving alone protect the wearer?
How does wearing a mask while walking alone outdoors protect the wearer?

If you received the vaccine, why do you care if I don't wear a mask, especially since you're still wearing yours?

Please note that I am NOT saying the virus does not exist. ....I just don't believe the virus is hanging in the air waiting to jump on me, or that the masks commonly used are going to protect me. .....The masks I see for sale are marked "NOT for medical use."

I strongly believe that individuals who are high-risk, or those in fear of contracting covid, should take whatever precautions they can. ....Stay home and limit exposure to other people as much as possible.

Some of us are quite comfortable being around others without anyone wearing a mask. .....That is a chance we are willing to take.

 

Edit: In anticipation of getting a few more dollars to gamble with I went to the "google machine" to double check my info.
In my previous post I used the words "has published". In reading that one might assume he was also a publisher along with being a doctor.

I should have said " has been published in five books" , as in his work is in five different books or volumes of medical journals. BTW, he also a teacher in his department.

I would have put the teacher part in my other post but thought someone might not believe me.

 

Well said cwtech.

It's disheartening to see citizens so willing to give up their rights without a challenge.

We've been advised to "follow the science" on the word of notable doctors and scientists, who, for those paying attention, have been wrong more than right with their decisions.

Trust them if you wish. Their actions give me reason to distrust them.

You are free to exercise your right to wear a mask and be vaccinated.

Please allow me to exercise my right to decline participation if I so chose.

HB

 

I certainly do. It is obvious that you are a pompous braggart with a desperate need for approval that stems from some pathetic inferiority complex. One can only speculate as to the cause of the complex. Perhaps it was a father who withheld his approval and denied you his praise? Maybe it was verbal and/or physical abuse from school classmates? The more likely cause, however, is small genitalia.

The thought never occurred to me. The fact that it occurred to you is indicative of the aforementioned complex.

It happened almost the instant I finished reading the ridiculous story of the gun sale to the maskless doctor.

I’ll make it even simpler for you. Seek help from a qualified professional (and not an imaginary one like Dr. No Mask).

 

Typical side stepping. First you said you wouldn't bet because you didn't trust me to pay. When I told you we could go through a third party you acted as if you didn't see it. Lets hear the excuse for not using that option. If you are so sure you're right what's the problem?

Instead you decide the best way to back down was to post all that nonsense about my Father?

" Perhaps it was a father who withheld his approval and denied you his praise?"

I was adopted as a baby so my Father and Mother, the only ones I ever knew, praised me when I did well and corrected me when I screwed up. I would say that since my parents picked me that would have been praise enough. As I got older I realized that to them I must have been kinda special.

It would seem that you on the other hand were never taught that if you are going to say something you have to be able to take whatever consequences come from that. Seems like your father did you a disservice. I can only assume he was a good father and that you just turned out to be an Asshole despite his efforts.

"The more likely cause, however, is small genitalia."

I never measured them but I at least have the balls to back up my statements. Unlike you that has a big mouth but no balls. Now, I'm sorry if you are a female and don't have balls to begin with but you get the idea.

"The thought never occurred to me. The fact that it occurred to you is indicative of the aforementioned complex."

Well there you go. That's ONE of your problems. You post before you think.

"It happened almost the instant I finished reading the ridiculous story of the gun sale to the maskless doctor."

Hey, the doctor paid $750.00 for a nice 98% condition 20 ga. plain barrel Model 50. Maybe he thought the price was ridiculous but just really wanted it. I can't prove that . He said he already had one and he wanted to give it to his wife as a surprise.
But I CAN prove he wasn't wearing a mask. He is going to purchase some ammo from me in the next week or two. I'll get a picture of us standing next to one another so I can add that to all the info I posted earlier. You can see his picture on the University website and compare it to the one of us standing together. The one of us NOT wearing those useless masks.

Remember, you implied I was a liar. I CAN prove I'm not. I wanted to make an honest wager hoping you would be dumb enough to take the bet. That way, I get some money in my pocket and you get a valuable lesson on how to not challenge someone by calling them a liar.

Now I know what I'm dealing with. Someone that shoots his mouth off without thinking and when they are challenged they back down.

I'll tell you what I'll do. If I CAN'T prove it I'll send a check for $1500.00 to the ata. If I CAN prove it, you send a $500.00 check to the CC with a note that you are donating it in MY name for any improvements they need. Your money will be going to a great place and the bad taste of losing a bet to me won't taste so bad. One more thing. When I PM you the info and the picture you have to come on the public side and admit you lost. I know it's selfish of me but I love when your type has to eat crow. Consider it a life lesson.

I know you'll back out with some other lame excuse, your type always does, but at least the other members will see what you are.

Wow, I haven't had to write this much since the last time someone said I was a liar. You will have to go back through my posts to see how that one worked out. You won't like it.

 

"I certainly do. It is obvious that you are a pompous braggart with a desperate need for approval that stems from some pathetic inferiority complex. One can only speculate as to the cause of the complex. Perhaps it was a father who withheld his approval and denied you his praise? Maybe it was verbal and/or physical abuse from school classmates? The more likely cause, however, is small genitalia."

This is interesting coming from a guy who talks about all the trapshooter's daughters he has "diddled" over the years and how some of these daughters look like men. Kinky! Damned kinky. Maybe he's into diddling men.

 

Hey, you two have actually made the last couple of days pretty fun. You want to squad up at a state shoot this summer?

 

Sure, how about Ohio? You take my wager and I'll use that free membership they are sending out to rejoin. Then I can watch you pay the $500.00 to the CC (in my name remember) when you lose the bet.

You do know that this is a Trap shoot right?

As far as being on the same squad? Only in singles or doubles. Unless you are standing on at least the 25 yrd line you won't be able to shoot with me. I saw your WTB post looking for a Mossberg "High Rib" model. Not that someone really good couldn't shoot one well, but from your post telling us you are a Skeet shooter I don't think you have the talent to be back there.

You don't even have to apologize like the last guy did when HE doubted my word. It would be worth the ride just to watch you eat crow. C'mon, take the bet. Cowboy up and grow a pair.

Hell, I got a guy on another site to make a $100.00 donation to the HOF years ago when he lost a bet to me about when a shooter was allowed to close his gun on the line. The older members here might remember his big mouth. zarathruster was his handle. He doubted my word too.

Your donation to the CC would top that. You could have the honor of paying the largest amount I ever had someone pay for not thinking before they posted something. Who knows, you might even get a brick with your name on it.

PSA to anyone following this thread
Don't hold your breath waiting on this guy to stand behind his remarks and accept the bet. When it comes to the
"rat killin' " this type of person usually just runs and hides.

 

An edit to my above post concerning the offer of "shooting on the same squad"?

We had just come up from the casino earlier this morning when I replied to that post. We had been gambling since around 6:00PM and it didn't register at first so I missed the hidden message. After rereading a post made by dick_erter telling us about his sex life and what he thinks about when having sex,

"Some of those trapshooter's daughters look a lot like men."

I have decided to pass on the offer of shooting on the SAME SQUAD. I have never had a problem shooing on the same squad with anyone in my trapshooting history but I don't shoot Skeet and just in case that is some kind of code I will decline THAT offer.

So, I will shoot and you will shoot, but it won't be "on the same squad as you like to call it."

 

Wow! So much anger and self-aggrandizement in your posts. I’m telling you, it’s not healthy.

Personally, I think you’re trying to overcome that deep seated inferiority complex caused by your childhood abandonment issues. Why else would you spend the lion’s share of every post blathering on about what you’ve done, what you’ve won, blah blah blah.

I think you need to ask yourself a question: “When I’m doing all my bragging and boasting, am I doing it to convince others how great I am, or am I really trying to convince myself?”

Have you ever tried to hurt yourself? The traits that your displaying can lead to self-destructive behavior. Hanging out in casino suites is a sign! Have you refused yardage reductions in the past? What about the inability to sustain personal relationships? (I bet some of your “friends” would say “hell yes, he does.”)? These are all things to think about.

Please consider the advice that I gave you a couple of days ago. Seek professional help. It’s not too late. You don’t want your disgusting, bloated body to be found “tits up” in a casino suite and then end up under a headstone that reads “He was a pitiful, petulant little man.”


P.S.: I’m glad to see that you (or someone) managed to delete that double post from this morning. You must have been pretty worked up?

 

It's never bragging or boasting if you can do it.
Not everyone gets to march in the parade. Someone like you has to sit on the curb and just clap.

That double post?

Actually I was pretty tired after all day in the sun then playing for almost 8 hours. You can't get me " worked up" if that is your goal. I enjoy making you look foolish and besides, you're not smart or witty enough. Try something else. Your feeble attempt to deflect from the bet is pretty transparent. Big mouth, no nerve. I get it!

You were or are that kid that spouted off then ran away right? BTW, after reading your other post, just how old are you? Am I dealing with a snot nosed kid or a supposedly grown man?

I very calmly told you after you called me a liar that I would bet you that I could prove I wasn't. One can always be calm when they have the proof. I haven't seen a yes or no answer YET. Grow a pair or slither away.

I have seen some childish remarks about my upbringing and my father but nothing even close to an honest straight answer. No pun intended there about being straight. Your sexual preference is your business.

Now, on a personal note. And this is a MOD talking.
You can take all the swipes at me you want. BUT, do not mention my Father, Mother, or ANYONE in my family in any more of your sophomoric posts. And you really should stay away from the pseudo analyzing. It makes you look, well, to be honest? Just stupid.

The bet was a simple proposition. You shot your mouth off and when challenged you tried to dodge the question.
I think there is a word for that type of behavior. Chickenshit fits nicely.

Taking personal shots at me or my family and ignoring the wager won't change the fact that you screwed up when you posted what you did. You stepped in it and don't know how to get out of it now. A real bitch ain't it. To have to walk around knowing you look like a dummy to everyone reading this.

Take the bet or apologize for "suggesting" I was lying. Simple, you man up, admit you were wrong, and save yourself $500.00.

NO? Then take the bet, be proven wrong, look like the fool you are, and pay the CC the $500. I'm willing to risk (there isn't any) $1500.00 You only have to donate $500. Hell man, I'm giving you odds.

Not too much to understand there is it?

"the traits that your displaying can lead to self-destructive behavior. Hanging out in casino suites is a sign!"

Oh boy ,don't tell me you're one of those "casino bad" types. God, that wouldn't surprise me one bit. I should have seen that one coming. It fits your type.

Take the bet or slither back under the rock.

Take the bet or slither back under the rock.

Edit: I purposely used the last sentence twice. Just in case you missed it the first time.

 

"Take the bet or apologize for "suggesting" I was lying. Simple, you man up, admit you were wrong, and save yourself $500.00.
NO? Then take the bet, be proven wrong, look like the fool you are, and pay the CC the $500. I'm willing to risk (there isn't any) $1500.00 You only have to donate $500. Hell man, I'm giving you odds."

I just thought of a third option for you Dick_. You can check with your gay support group and let us know what they think you should do. Now don't take that third option the wrong way. I'm not saying that your sexual preference is good or bad. I didn't think it saying it was an affront to your "manhood" since YOU yourself told us that when you have sex you thought of men.

BTW, your handle of Dick_erter? I know that probably isn't your real name since the site recommends NOT using real names but was wondering, did you mean to put the letter R in there when you wanted to type the letter A ?

 

It appears dick _ erter brought a knife to a gun fight ... oopps ... Open a can of worms someone will for sure open a can of Whoop ass on you ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

This website doesn't do a very good job of suffering sissies. We certainly hope you're not easily offended.

 

No offense, just never saw a so called moderator in a pissing contest with a member before, that's all.

 

Flyers is not a liar. The person who called him a liar, however, has exposed himself to what we call "discovery." It appears that the accuser doesn't have a case. Don't think of this as a "pissing contest." Think of this as an opportunity for Flyers to bust a coward's balls, Okey-Doke?

 

How do you know so much about flyers? Are you & he the same person?

 

Hahaha, you were pretty worked up! Don’t deny it. It makes you look even sillier.

Just when I thought we were starting to make progress?

You, almost, made it through a whole post before you started thumping that little chest! Come on, try to overcome that need to compensate.

Since you mention being a “MOD,” I don’t think you’re the only “MOD” on this site, and I haven’t seen any of the others come to your defense. Why do you think that is?

Or what? Come on, spit it out.

 

Well, who saw this coming? Calling someone a homosexual: one of the last refuges of the intellectual coward. I bet you use that N-word rather freely as well (as long as you’re not around those who would be offended).

I noticed you never addressed the question about refusing yardage reductions. Anything you want to say about that? Tell the truth either way. There are several other members of this site who share information about you pretty freely. Are you in that “occupy 27” group?

 

Hope you guys aren't trying to break scores with that gun!

 

Uh-oh, is flyers up to shenanigans?

 

well DICK, you wanted to know "or what"

I think Harryone just told you.

 

Not hardly.

He just remembers the last time someone doubted my word and the gentleman that apologized.

 

It might not be masks forever but I just read where the boys/girls at Pfizer are saying it may be a yearly shot. For how long? They didn't say. They did say it would be just like your yearly Flu shot. No big deal......to THEM.

No big deal to me either since I don't get the Flu shot.

 

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting...........................for Trojan to come out with a "mask."

 

Lets ask Texas what they think of the mask rules.

Use the "google machine"

 

Mississippi is next

 

Masks don't make you safer, they don't stop Covid, they do make your ears hurt.
