What you guys are missing - or, wilfully dismissing - is the fact that no one here is advocating wearing a mask IN LIEU of distancing/washing of hands! I'm saying: Wearing a mask provides an ADDED protection! Betsy are you advocating that the wearing of masks be made mandatory by law and enforced? Yes or no? Quote Even Tam changed her tune: Some grocery stores do not enforce the safe distancing inside the store! Bulk Barn really takes it a step farther - but that's to protect their inventory and their staff. That's okay. Speaking of store clerks - they are at the front-line too. The clerks on the floor stocking shelves or cleaning spills - they are out there with the public! They should be protected from the public. Yes she said sensible in certain situations. In our grocery store they are enforcing distancing if they're not in your's say something or wear a mask if it makes you feel better but why assume everyone on the planet is as insensible as the people where you live and is an excuse to impose your solution on everyone? Assuming that's what you're doing. Quote You guys better understand what is being said. I think some of you are merely giving knee-jerk responses without giving any thought at all at what is being said! And you folks wonder why I have to resort to super large and colored fonts? Why do people need to resort to telling the public they can catch this virus simply from people breathing in their advocacy for masks? Quote The attempt to shame came from those folks who felt that people advocating for masks ought to be shamed! Go ahead - review the discussion! What I did was merely show that they are arguing from ignorance! You think people who are telling the public they can catch this virus from breathing people are arguing from an intelligent scientifically informed position? Where's the science. What's likelier is that Tam is simply saying its okay to wear a mask if it makes you feel better. She certainly didn't say you must wear one and neither is anyone else. So far but....dumbing things down to the lowest common dummy seems to be whats in store. Who would have thought conservatives would be such advocates of a nanny state and why does that nanny resemble Nurse Ratched? Must be the cuckoo times we live in.

Thanks Betsy, but he's 10 years old and nobody but me and my partner are allowed to touch him; vet doesn't even recommend bringing him in unless it's a serious emergency because he's so terrified, not vicious, just paralyzed with terror. I spent considerable money and lots of time trying to get past this, but he's pretty determined that nobody but us can be trusted with his precious self. Even people he knows well and likes, he'll greet them warmly, from a 4 foot distance and shy away if they even stretch a hand with treats toward him. He was ready for Covid-19 the day he was born. Maybe if my partner and I weren't around at all for a week or two, he'd start to reconsider. Dog catchers have ways to catch strays that might work, I know, but that breaks my heart too.

IF - and, I say IF - IF the situation looks desperate - yes, I advocate for mandatory wearing of masks in places where the certainty of being able to maintain distancing is questionable, like in public transits, grocery stores, hospitals/emergency rooms/clinics/testing facilities, and other places where you're likely to see sizeable numbers of people. As an example, the waiting room at some hospitals are not so large. LOl, in our hospital - the waiting room is large enough to accommodate only three people (if we abide by the 6 feet rule)! Furthermore, we still hear about people who don't adhere to social distancing! Face it, some people don't fully get sanitation. I know of an adult whose kid tends to wipe his nose on his sleeves (because apparently, that's what his dad do)! EWWWWWW. There will be some people who'd think nothing of coughing or sneezing (facing away from you), and think that's good enough! Why would you take the chance? If masks can provide additional protection - why this stubborn resistance over something that's just practical in this situation? Some use this to make a statement - that it's an infringement on their right, or they just don't want to be told. Would they feel the same way if it's Ebola? Which would you prefer? Mandatory wearing of masks or, strict lock-down in your houses? Quote Yes she said sensible in certain situations. In our grocery store they are enforcing distancing if they're not in your's say something or wear a mask if it makes you feel better but why assume everyone on the planet is as insensible as the people where you live and is an excuse to impose your solution on everyone? Assuming that's what you're doing. Not all grocery stores do things the same way. People in aisles at WalMart can't really practice CONSISTENT safe distancing - I go at opening time on senior's day (which isn't busy). They do a good job at safe distancing while you're in line at the cash or outside (waiting in line for the door to open). How do they do things at Costco now, I wonder? We don't use our membership card now since it's been always crowded. It's even harder for smaller grocery stores to enforce safe distancing in aisles. Bulk Barn is the ultimate though for precaution and safe distancing (providing mandatory gloves), and you get one employee to go with you as your personal assistant to get the items you want. You both maintain 6 feet distancing from each other, and you can't go into aisles where there is another couple getting stuffs. However - all that precaution will fall apart IF someone happens to sneeze in that small space! If masks aren't hard to get, I bet Bulk Barn will also provide the mandatory masks to wear. Quote You think people who are telling the public they can catch this virus from breathing people are arguing from an intelligent scientifically informed position? Breathing people? I don't think that statement comes from an informed - let alone intelligent - position. Please understand what you read. That's key to a rational discussion. Edited April 9, 2020 by betsy Quote

If she wants to post crap here she gets to deal with obvious responses. So sayeth the poster boy for TDS. Do you ever have an actual criticism, or just endless platitudes? "People behind him are rolling their eyes! I SAW IT!!!" "Blocking flights from covid hotspots is racist!" LMAO. Guess what Rue? People are behind Trump because he's not in his basement under his blankie. Endless platitudes..it's my gift for humanity...as for your endless love for Trump it's funny especially when you try fart like him....oops there I go again being a platypus.
