Solid 2 months of mask mandates and
Aug 8, 2020, 8:42 AM
|

numbers have stayed the same. Give or take 600 a day and 0-3 deaths per day.
So when do the masks take effect? When can we start to see the numbers lower?

As soon as the masses start doing. Right now we might as well be at day 1. I went to funeral yesterday in a small town old school church. Maybe 60 people jammed in there singing and shouting out things at times. There were probably 10 people with masks max.

You can’t go to a church here or a funeral. You have to have a mask to get into any establishment.
So what you are telling me is that you all can’t follow or enforce the law?

I am not sure what the law is in this county of South Carolina. I live in Florida and was just in town for a funeral.

I was in SC. I had a mask. Stood near the door. I think I was one of a few people to seem to care. I am not sure what the prob with Fla is at the moment.

There’s definitely that. Many many people aren’t wearing them.

Also, we don’t know what numbers would be if no one wore masks. I could go either way on mask mandates. I don’t really care about them because wearing one is not a big deal. However, unless there’s a vaccine, it’s just delaying the inevitable. I’d be inclined to just open everything up, let mask rules be up to individual businesses, and let at risk people protect themselves if they need to. Can’t do this forever. Give it another 6 months to try and find a vaccine, and if not, time to go back to normal. Just rip the band aid off, accept the consequences, and move on.

Forgot to add that there was no hand sanitizer anywhere and when I went to take a leak at the end there was no soap.

Oh got it. So masks are not important. Just gloves to cross contaminate. Got it. And washing hands is very important, however I thought that was always the case. Even before the plandemic.

buddy of mine got his rona by having a close conversation in noisy room (manufacturing) with another supervisor who had the rona and didnt know it
a good mask would have probably worked in that situation
he should have known better to be up in somebody's face regardless
he is all better now, took him several weeks to get over it, the pain and fatigue was the worst part, never had any breathing problems

if you had to rank counter-measures

I’d say people in general staying out of crowded indoor spaces would be at the top. Personal hygiene is an obvious close second.
Masks are only as effective as the people who care to properly wear them, but it is proven they do slow rate of transmission down. Otherwise our Rt numbers would go off the chart.

weeks old and doesn't seem to be followed at a high level. I would say cases have dropped in SC by about the same rate as mask wearing has increased based on my observations.
We went to Destin this week (first and probably last time) and the mask wearing was maybe 20% at most in moat places.

the problem is lack of standard practices and common...
Aug 8, 2020, 11:08 AM

sense..
Standard practices -
Where I am, one business requires masks, one doesn't. You go here, you do this. You go there, you gotta do that. Might as well have nothing in that case. These standards need to be developed by local governments, because every community is not at the same risk.
Common sense - I still run into people all the time who want to hug and shake your hand like nothhing's going on.
For me, I am wearing a mask AND social distancing the best I can. Locking myself in the closet is not practical.

I'm trying to use a little logic here.
1) Masks are not 100% effective by any stretch of the imagination. They do block some of it. SO it should be combined with distancing.
2) I don't think anybody I know would purposefully go into a room for an extended period of time and physically engage with someone who has the flu or some other contagious sickness. We would take precautions. I think everyone would avoid that at all costs. So knowing this can be spread by asymptomatic people should change the approach.
3) The only 100% guarantee not to spread it in my estimation is to lock down at home and never allow anyone in the house to leave. This is both impractical and devastating for our economy. We can't do that. Better solution is wear a mask and try to keep your distance from people the best you can.
4) I'm not sure how we've come to the point where being autonomous has become a conservative virtue. I don't see that as conservative. I see that as entitlement. The biggest problem we have in this country is the "screw everybody else" attitude many people have. I can do what I want. It doesn't matter how that affects you. That is not an enlightenment virtue that our founders based their experiment on.

It can't be based on results in other countries, or input from medical professionals, or based on studies. So how?

I have often had people over me ask me to do things that I thought were stupid and wouldn't work.
If I don't do it, there is no way to prove my point or disprove theirs. Just working from a point of subjectivity.
