Thread: The C. Virus and human reaction

Yes, depending on what type of facial hair you are sporting it can interfere with the proper fit of a mask. Masks come in different sizes, at least they did where I worked, and had to be fitted to your face. Beards were a no no onboard a ship because you could not get a good seal when using the MSA Chemox breathing Apparatus. It used chemicals to produce oxygen to breath.

The OBA of the past looked very similar to your MSA:

Looks like there may be another new wrinkle with this Covid 19 virus.

That is a worry Bob.
Our testing is good, but self isolated patients aren't checked again. They just have to be symptom free for 48 hrs.
Another concern is the rush for a vaccine or a cure and this damn thing mutates making matters worse.

I will say this, I believe that when this is all said and done, we're going to realize how badly we crippled our economy and further had our liberties deteriorated, all for a virus. I still don't believe this is like any other pandemic we've had, something doesn't seem right.

The US is not alone in having it's economy crippled in this pandemic as every country globally is using the same basic measures to fight this Covid 19 virus. Yup, for whatever reason this is the worst pandemic in living memory.

Which shows us that no matter what type of government you live under they all basically think the same.

Yes, you could take it to mean that or that the virus dictates how it is to be dealt with regardless of the type of government a country has. Which I think is more to the point as the virus knows bupkis about types of governments.

Whenever any crisis occurs it I guess it's comfortable to look for a scapegoat or reason in the realm of some conspiracy theory or another. However, you just gotta sit back for a minute and use your grey matter and consider all the facts might just be out there in front of you not on some social site being spun like some old yarn.

As of today the US has had 4 million infections. Looking at the chart in the link, it is starting to rise exponentially and at that rate it will be a little over a week before the 5 million mark is hit. Maybe time to reconsider wearing of face masks, social distancing and avoiding large gatherings?
