But it would be helpful if you share your experience with anyone you know that denies the virus exists.

We still have a problem with that in this country.
No we don’t. Never heard one single person say that the virus doesn’t exist.

Is it true this rag I wear on my face all day at work really only needs to be on if I'm coughing or sneezing?

Here's another curveball for ya. The two people I know that got covid (myself inculded) are in a family of four. In both families only one got the virus. In my family I was around them all constantly. My 9 year old even always uses my toothbrush. All negative. Very similar for the only other family I know that got it

I think two things are possible. One, all 6 of the other families already had it (unlikely). Two, people already have an immunity to the virus. Most likely something like the flu last year. All the other 3 in my family got influenza a last year. I didn't. Now, I have covid and they didn't get it despite being indoors with me almost 24/7

pretty sure the debated efficacy isn't preventing helping the wearer from getting it, but preventing carriers from contaminating surfaces, as the virus requires droplets for transmission.

They probably already had it and weren't symptomatic.

Also stop sharing your toothbrush. That's ****ed up. It shouldn't have to be shared how ****ed up that is.

It is fukd up. Its a Sonicare and we have several heads for it but they all look the same and my son always forgets to change them.

I dont think everyone already had it. The dad that tested negative is very high risk and obese. If he would have had it, im sure it would have been bad.

Low IQ detected. The analogy isn't about the material being used, it's about whatever material being used also obviously being unfit for the task, in this case the need for something that won't rip under the application of a sudden sharp force.

If it makes you feel better, substitute your boyfriend's banana hammock, *******.

Might be worth the antibody test. The could give plasma. srs

Have them consider it. Also be sure to donate after you get well. You're almost guaranteed to save someones life.

Surgical masks are not designed to stop viruses. Viruses are too small for them. They may work for bacteria, but for the Wuhan Flu, they're as ineffective as cloth masks.

You aren't emitting bare virus particles.

The virus is suspended in mucus and saliva droplets. These are much larger particles.

Thus they work.

As far as protecting yourself, if others around you aren't wearing a mask and propelling their droplets all around, you can easily breathe them in even thou you are wearing a mask. Depending on the type of mask you wear, some offer a little more protection to the wearer than others, but none are fool proof to the wearer
cool story but i dunno wtf this has to do with what i said lol

Had an antibody test ran and it came back negative, indicating I likely never actually had COVID despite testing positive.

This may surprise you, but there are other cold viruses that cause the same symptoms as KILLER CHINA VIRUS does.

Strange, mirroring Covid symptoms, was this the nasal test that they administered?

Yes, the nasal PCR test.

Had no symptoms other than nausea/vomiting/diarrhea. I wouldn't have even gotten tested but I work at a VA and wasn't going to risk infecting elderly veterans if there was any chance I actually had it.
