Masks don't keep you from getting COVID. Masks help prevent you from spreading it to others. But you anti-maskers and science deniers fail to comprehend the actual facts. Proper cleaning your hands is the #1 defense for you from getting the virus.

I didn’t know anyone that had died of it until I knew 2 that died days apart. You calling me a liar? Happy to bet as much money as you want that I can prove I know 2 people that died the last week of December both from Covid related illness. I’m more than happy to make some money off your heartlessness. Should I put some stuff in all CAPS to make it sound like my head is in my arse?

I wasnt calling anyone a liar? BUT there have been only 27000 out of the almost 2mil. people die of Covid since the beginning in TX, so for someone to know 3 to even 8 people that have died of Covid is way out of the norm unless you work at a nursing home. It would be like knowing 5 people that own a Fiat 500.

You do realize that 100, perhaps even 1,000 people could personally know a single person?

Clueless posts like this are why there is so much censorship nowadays.

I don't look towards politicians or their appointees for guidance. I'll hear them out and follow their instructions but will grade them on their accuracy and effectiveness. So far Fauci gets a D-. If masks and shutdowns worked then we would not be in the mess we are currently in. COVID is no joke. Nobody said it was. Masking and social distancing is effective as long as those in the high risk categories isolate themselves.

It's real, it's here, it will kill its way through our population. Get off your high horse because listening to government workers is worshiping lifers milking the system...government workers are botching the distribution of the vaccines.

At my job I come into contact with at least 40-50 different people a day. I wear a fresh mask every day and use alcohol to clean my hands several times a day. Four people at work have had it and all but one were doing what are considered risky activities after work (going to bars, hooking up with strange) on a regular basis.
Personally, I went to Specs bought a bottle of 180 proof put it in a rubbing alcohol bottles. I clean my hands, phone and desk with it often. Just went to HEB wore my mask and sunglasses and when I got in the truck I broke out the alcohol and scrubbed my hands, glasses and credit card with it for 30 seconds. It may sound like overkill but my wife is high risk due to asthma.

The questions I have are, if this is airborne and you can get it from touching your eyes, nose or mouth before cleaning your hands, why are the "experts" not recommending eye protection?

The other question to the anti-mask people is, how do you think the virus is spread if it is not airborne and people are cleaning their hands regularly?

BTW all four people were between 25-55 and all recovered with only lasting effects being loss of taste and smell.

Not saying you in particular, but the internet has made way too many people think they know more than they really do.
