Easy answer. Because: Orange Man Bad.

Which is murder.

So we woke up on the Sheep farm in VT this morning. Packed up, stopped for breakfast (first time eating in a restaurant in 4 months) for about an hour, drove through the entire state of NH into MA and got home by 1 pm. Whole different tiny world back here.

Was there a B&B at the farm or did you sleep with the sheep?

Haha show that to Coffee Man. Viruses are so small that you would need to make masks where people couldn't breathe in order to prevent them from leaving the masks.

No shit. multilayer straw / sand / charcoal water filters allow a certain amount of microbes to pass.
The latest I heard on KIRO radio today was that there is a NEW OUTBREAK in Washington and that ICUs are running at maximum capacity.... Wanna bet the "outbreak" is due to more testing and that the ICUs are usually full of patients that need critical care for ALL REASONS.?

As much as I hate the masks, and believe they're mostly theatrics to make dumb people feel safe: Though the virus is small enough by itself to get through a mask, it's mostly traveling in droplets (of saliva or mucous) which a mask can block to some extent.

There's some stuff out there saying the amount/volume of exposure you breathe determines whether you'll catch the disease or be fought off by your immune system. So we can wear masks to decrease the risk of catching Covid, or, imagine this, we could just try not to cough or sneeze toward strangers. Method 2 would be less intrusive and stupid, but it's way easier to tell people to wear masks than a long 2-sentence solution.

In related news, Inslee's idea that we should all keep wearing masks in public until there's a vaccine is infuckingsane.

was going to mention that, its not the virus, its the droplets its carried in
