REGARDING:
“They should find all the people not wearing masks, and claiming COVID is fake. Those going to parties and beach parties, etc And deny them all medical treatment for covid”
For shame. The mentally ill or scammed are as worthy of medical care as anyone. (And when you’re sick nobody has time to sort their politics, especially since so many remain anonymous.
David for all
@Independent Thinker – Your “reasoning” has nothing to do with independence. Your decision is to be defiant. Big difference, especially in the maturity involved.
>>Pensacola city 1,642 cases. Escambia county 188 cases. Stay out of the city.
You have misinterpreted the data. The city of Pensacola is physically smaller, but more people than live in the city have a Pensacola address. Pensacola is their address, but they are not all in the city.
It is good hygiene and distancing that will protect you. NOT masks.. Wash your hands. Don’t protest, Don’t touch people don’t get in there face. Don’t kiss strangers or have sex. Don’t share a joint. That stuff spreads it faster than anything. That is why it is spreading among younger people.
Hide if you want to but stop making everyone wear a mask. It’s stupid. California had some of the strictest mask and lock down policies yet they are racking up record number of new cases. Remember this virus has about a 99.6 recovery rate.
“The UK government’s scientific advisers believe that the chances of dying from a coronavirus infection are between 0.5% and 1%”. OR ..about the same as dying in a car crash. Maybe we should all quit driving. Stop the panic.
So you are choosing to NOT wear a mask because of the 2 or 3 comments you read from people who are trying to encourage everyone to wear masks so they won’t be the reason that a loved one dies?! Be careful hun, your ego is falling out. That’s quite literally the most ridiculous and childish thing I’ve ever read. Your “I’m not doing it because you’re not the boss of me” mentality is not something you should be flaunting when it is a matter involving the spread of a global pandemic. Get over yourself and get back to your frat house. Just make sure to wear a mask!!!
Pensacola city 1,642 cases. Escambia county 188 cases. Stay out of the city.
Let’s hope and pray that everyone will be safe and wear a mask it’s up to us to keep our loved ones safe
CONTEMPLATING:
“I probably would wear one, until I read these demands from people who know it all. Now I will continue without.”
Nose, say goodbye to face.
(And possibly, Wallet, say goodbye to cash
….or even, “Lord, Here I come….whatcha mean I’m not allowed inside without a mask?? When I said I didn’t want to be a sheep, I didn’t mean I didn’t want to be one of Your sheep….Oh, it’s because of what it did to some of Your sheep?”
David for better outcomes
They should find all the people not wearing masks, and claiming COVID is fake. Those going to parties and beach parties, etc And deny them all medical treatment for covid
Save the hospital beds for the rest of the good hard working people that follow the rules and have commonsense
I find it hard to breath with a mask and it’s very easy to loose a hearing aid when you take it off,,,but I wear one, and the reason I do is if I was to get it and unknowingly pass it to family or friends or to a total stranger that would be an unforgivable act on my part, and if the deceased was someone I know and know they contacted it from me,I would live with it until my dieing day. Unless the law requires it,your choice,your conscious.
not a nat? Maybe a gnat?
I probably would wear one, until I read these demands from people who know it all. Now I will continue without. I prefer not following demands of people who get on here and insist upon pushing their views upon us all.
There are people who are alive and healthy today, mother and fathers, sisters and brothers, meemaws and papaws, who will be dead by Christmas because some of you refused to wear a mask. This isn’t hyperbole or doom and gloom, it is simply a fact based on what we KNOW about this virus. For God’s sake, wear a mask, wash your hands, and practice social distancing.
You people better put a mask on and do it ASAP! The wont have room for you or your family now. WE ARE ON OUR OWN TO USE OUR HEADS FOLKS!! This virus doesnt fly around on its on. It doesnt have wings people. Its not like a nat….YOU PEOPLE WHO KNOW IT ALL DONT KNOW A THING REALLY. Get your mask on and do it before you infect your entire family….
“+” means additional, added.
What does the plus (+) mean? Very curious!
