Medical personal used to use universal precautions but in 1996, the CDC expanded the concept and changed the term to standard precautions, which integrated and expanded the elements of universal precautions to include contact with all body fluids (except sweat), regardless of whether blood is present. But before COVID 19 you didn't hear anyone running around telling people to wear a mask for the SARS or MERS (COVID), or even for the flu (H1N1). Not even if you were going to visit anyone in a nursing home or a hospital.

    I never said that COVID 19 was a special virus. IMO, it has been blown way out of proportion by the media and the politicians. Next time you go to the grocery store or gas station look around at all the masks on the ground and tell me that is not a biohazard. There is also a lot of unintended consequences from mandating people to wear PPE and not educating them on the proper disposal of PPE.

    So my stance, although it is not popular, is you do you and I do me. I wear a mask when I have to but that is it. I hate them, I cant understand what people are saying while wearing a mask, and I think they provide more of a placebo effect for the masses. But I also have stated, I have the antibodies for COVID so I have had it. This leads to an interesting segway, now we have people that have recovered from the virus or getting immunized from it. Do you still want everyone wearing a mask for the rest of your life or when will it be safe to not wear a mask anymore?

    Why Most Published Research Findings Are False

    The virus is much less deadly than SARS or MERS. MERS is around 30% death rate. However only 2 people died from it in the US back during the outbreak.

    For whatever reason, COVID-19 spreads more rapidly. Even at the current 1-2% death rate, a lot of people are dying and a lot more would die if masks were not worn. Masks trap viruses in our spit, water molecules in our breath.

    There is a reason red states are getting hit so hard now. A lot of people initially weren’t concerned because sparsely populated areas weren’t affected as much during the first wave. Now a lot more people are infected nationwide, so even rural areas are getting hit harder. Especially places where people are not wearing masks. Trump and Giuliani didn’t wear masks religiously and they both got it. Kamala and Biden do, and they didn’t get it. Couldn’t be more clear of a message, no matter what either side says.

    I live in Pennsylvania. Could have sworn you said you were 34 in another post, but close enough I guess. I lived in Florida for 2 years. Kinda southern maybe.
