| | Yes, rather late, we are realizing that we need proper fitting, certified N95 masks. Life is hard enough at the moment without being afraid to go out, because of the selfish attitude people who lack societal, or family values. No one has any God-given, selfish right to infect others, especially those most vulnerable, like the elderly. --[[User:Jackin the box|Jackin the box]] ([[User talk:Jackin the box|talk]]) 16:47, January 26, 2022 (EST) | | Yes, rather late, we are realizing that we need proper fitting, certified N95 masks.

| | :N95 masks don't work either because they're harder to breathe through than cloth masks and there's still the same issues of rebreathing the wearer's own CO<sub>2</sub> and bacteria, along with the possibility of cold germs still finding a way through anyway. Plus, it's those liberals like the "Mask Karens" and those in favor of the deadly CCP flu "vaccines" who are showing real selfish attitudes and lack societal and family values, particularly regarding what basically amounts to just another seasonal common cold/flu variant with a high survival rate. Are you really in favor of denying the elderly in care homes access to family contact, just as the likes of [[Andrew Cuomo]], [[Gretchen Whitmer]] and [[Gavin Newsome]] have done?

| | + | ::Thanks,[ [User:Northwest|Northwest]], I follow what my local medical officer, doctor, etc. recommends, not any politicians, nor any other unqualified sources. But, certainly the mental health of all is also important. Yes, breathing through a mask can be a problem for someone elderly, like me, when walking fast (especially uphill!). As you don't believe in masks, I hope that you are avoiding crowded places. So it's just another flu – I wonder what all the dead would say? Fortunately the omicron variant seems less deadly – other than, perhaps, to the unvaccinated - still where I live many many more have died in the last month, or so than hitherto, even though we have a 90%+ vaccination rate. Because there have been so many more cases. Fortunately people here have a long tradition of caring about their neighbours, as the high vaccination rates indicate. Stay safe. --[[User:Jackin the box|Jackin the box]] ([[User talk:Jackin the box|talk]]) 17:58, January 26, 2022 (EST) |
