Masks

I guess public officials agree there should be exceptions.

So now we're ignoring the science?
Look, just because public officials are allowing for exceptions doesn't mean there are, in fact, medical conditions that prevent mask wearing. I'll stand with the doctors who say there are virtually none. And by my remark that anyone who claims a medical condition prevents him/her from wearing a mask is almost certainly lying.

Thanks.  I'm not saying that people shouldn't wear masks.  Merely stating that for a very select few people it isn't an option to wear one.

Then we agree. If someone claims they have a medical condition that prevents them from wearing a mask, they're almost certainly lying.

Those who claim they can't wear a mask because of a medical condition are almost certainly lying.

"There are no known medical conditions aside from a severe skin condition [like a very severe burn that needs medical attention] on your face that would prevent a person from wearing this type of mask," David Kaufman, MD, pulmonologist and director of the medical ICU at Tisch Hospital, tells Health. "If you can wear a scarf to keep your face warm in the winter, you can wear a mask to prevent the spread of disease."

I found out this week a co-worker in our other Connecticut facility apparently terribly bloodied himself good while shaving and spent the day wearing the mask at work.  He came down with an infection on his face that required antibiotics.

Maybe he should have put a mask on his wound.  I think they are commonly known as Band-Aids.

Did he wear a band aid? Did he put antibiotic lotion on his terrible cut? Did he clean his mask or put on a new/clean one?
Unless he did these things, the fault is his, not the mask's. Being dumb is not a medical condition.

You're welcome. I wrote the exact same thing in the earlier post.

Yes, but I'm hopeful some day we'll have a vaccine for that!

Saw an interview of a group down in Florida protesting masks saying "my body my right" I don't think they picked up on the hilarious irony

Yes, I noticed all those people marching recently protesting seatbelts.

Yes, I know you were referring to abortion.

Denied service at Starbucks, a pelvic exam, a chiropractor, $100,000, education and dancing.....if you had all that on today's segment of wear a mask, you are in luck:

1) from Apr 1!
2) "perspective", "commentary" - not science
3) actually science, published 3 months later: https://www.fau.edu/newsdesk/articles/efficacy-facemasks-coronavirus.php
4) but since you seem to respect Dr Brosseau, here's some of her more recent commentary: https://www.boston25news.com/news/health/aerosol-covid-19-transmission-could-impact-reopenings/S2ZPLRHDKNA3ZH5XRWIQRMAC2A/

Hold up, Cfollow is a scientist.  Let's allow him to explain himself.

Actually, I think it was his dad who was a scientist.

Well if Amber had a fibroid in 2015 large enough to cause a breathing problem, one presumes it would have been taken care of by now. 
I can't speak to asthma, but certainly mask acne would not qualify for a medical exemption. 
And a chiropractor writes a handwritten note that says contact me if you have any questions, but then won't actually answer any questions? Then why did he say to contact him?

Pak,
I totally agree.  He is supposed to be visiting my location this week and we already collectively decided to break his stones about it because it never should have happened.

Kemp is waiting for Trump's demeanor to change in a press conference again. Or perhaps he still doesn't actually realize that it is spread person-to-person. Or he just wants to kill his own constituents. Who knows.

If Georgia was its own country (no pun intended!),  at 77.7 years life expectancy it would rank 60th in the world with neighbors Thailand, Ecuador,  Colombia, and Bosnia.

He is an idiot but let's not just post he banned masks.  What he did is void / ban the mandatory order and then tepidly said he encouraged people to wear them.   

Georgia's Gov. Brian Kemp is explicitly banning Georgia's cities and counties from ordering people to wear masks in public places. He voided orders on Wednesday that at least 15 local governments across the state had adopted even though Kemp had earlier said cities and counties had no power to order masks.

An increasing number of other states order residents to wear masks in public, including Alabama, which announced such a ban Wednesday.

The Republican governor has instead been trying to encourage voluntary mask wearing, including telling fans that reduced infections from mask-wearing would make college football season possible.

Kemp's move is likely to infuriate local officials in communities that had acted, including Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, Rome and the governor's hometown of Athens-Clarke County. Overall, mask orders by Wednesday were covering 1.4 million of Georgia's more than 10 million residents.
