Well yea Nobody wants to catch the virus. I shamed a guy at UPS store yesterday. He was there by the copy machine maskless. I made sure to socially distance as I wore my mask As I made sure to avoid him, he kind of shrugged and said he forgot his mask I said "I don't wear a mask for myself. I wear a mask for the UPS employee that has to deal with hundreds of customers. They are essential employees keeping the wheels of our economy turning. I don't want them to get sick" He said he would be right back and went to his car for a mask and came back inside wearing a mask :-) Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Good work Ed. It is amazing how many people still do not get the point that by wearing a mask you are helping others more than yourself. |

Very sad watching the mask nazis in action. These idiots think a piece of cloth is gonna stop a virus?!?! I've said it once, and I'll say it again: If a FART can get past cloth underwear & cloth pants and escape into the air for all to smell, so can the coronavirus!! |

In 1918 the deaths from the flu pandemic in India are estimated from 12-20 million. China has a comparatively mild flu season in 1918. Now both countries report fewer than 5000 deaths from Covid-19. COVID-19 seems to have left most of the third world alone. Look at the list of nations with over 60 million population (73% of the population of the world).
