Let’s start with that.

Once again, the main purpose of wearing a mask is not to protect the wearer, but to protect others from the wearer - regardless of the type of mask worn. Any mask is better than none for that purpose.

If you don't get that then the doorknob analogy appears to be correct in this case.

No help for you is it? Prozac don't help people who are touched in the head like you even. Hopeless!!

Do you agree with schools requiring dress codes or uniforms? Why is a mask any different?

That's a lot of unnecessary testing and a huge waste of resources. My opinion is that your plan would only beg down the system, make it more difficult for people who actually need to be tested to do so and hence wind up furthering the spread of the Wuhan virus.

I'm not sure that all that testing is necessary on game day. People just need to show their vaccination card or proof of a negative test. It's not just for attending games. Vaccinations save lives.

It's almost funny how the deniers go to the doctor for help when they get Covid by going to the ER for doctors to help make them better. If someone doesn't think it works then maybe they don't need to fill the ER when they get sick and save that room for people who believe that doctors can help them. Just sayin'.

The hospital released me even though I had pneumonia and a lung infection to make room for Covid patients. I did not want to go home and do my own infusions but I had no choice. Every time a Covid patient is hospitalized there is less room for other major ailments. Just get vaccinated and don't worry that it is an infringement on personal freedumbs.

We tell people they must have driver's licenses to drive.

We tell people they must stop at red lights.

I could go on but you get the point.

You like to THINK you are right but really don't have a clue about certain things in the least and WILL keep on and on and on and on about it. Really sad, I would feel sorry for you and people like you but I don't and want, ever. So keep on spewing out what you think you know, whether you really know it or not. I'm getting a kick out of it, how about you?

This is incorrect.

But they can spread it to anyone they get close to.
