Thank God, I've always kept my Harley rubber side down.

Oh my goodness - I was busy today and just logged on.
My opinion on masks are simple:
The surgical masks do have a function. It protects the user from touching possible infected hands to their mouth and nose. It does not protect from an infected cough or sneeze that can travel up to 10 feet in a few seconds. We will not get the virus from the air. Only if we are sneezed or coughed on by a infected person.
The N-95 mask material has protection against viruses. The problem is that we all have different face shapes. The mask must be F I T T E D on each person and then the person inhales and exhales into a machine to see that no microscopic air has entered or escaped. Only then is that person protected.
I went thru the F I T T I N G and testing when I worked in the ER to make sure I am protected.
The mask that F I T S properly is air tight and not comfortable to wear.
What experts are worried about is that non medical people will believe that these N-95 masks are protecting them and therefore feel safe among sick people.
IF ITS NOT F I T T E D - THE VIRUS CAN ENTER.
Its better then the surgical masks, or nothing at all, but the best protection is WASH YOUR HANDS AT LEAST 20 seconds. Sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWICE. THAT WAY YOU WASHED long enough.
Btw- i had to spread apart a couple words, because the Moderators dont like words beginning with a F.
I also sensed some tension amongst us today.
I hope it can be worked out.
We have a special relationship with each other, so I hope little arguments will be resolved quickly
HUGS TO THE ENTIRE TRIBES

That's just it. For some reason she will jump in the middle of a thread and just go off for no reason. Just have to ignore and go on.
