you know-I am at the end of my rope...anyone who doesn't wear a mask-**** them
let them die 1
I wear my mask always, I have underlying other issues-crohn's and diabetes 2. I take chemo 3 to exist and I still almost got it 4. Others do get it.
1 In a study the CDC has found that a majority or Covid-19 patients had been faithful mask wearers but still got infected (
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm6936a5-H.pdf , page 2, 2nd column). Masks can reduce risk, but: the degree varying by type, cotton cloth being the least effective; they have to be worn properly; disposables should be single use and cloth laundered daily; after use the face should not be touched during removal and hands washed properly immediately after removal. Mask are not magic.
2 DementedJeep has Type 2 diabetes due to lack of
Knife, Fork, and Spoon Control. Similarly, she could probably reverse it by controlling her eating habits and moderate exercise.
3 DementedJeep evidently takes a steroid to control the inflammation of her Crohn's. While prednisone is sometimes used as a chemotherapy agent that is not the purpose of the med she takes. This claim is
Drama-Queenage.
4 Either one is infected with nCov-19 or one is not. The PCR tests, as currently used will detect if one is infected or one recovered from an infection recently enough that bits and pieces of dead virus are still in one's system.
There is no "almost".The only meaning in
DementedJeep's post is :bouncy ME! :bouncy ME! :bouncy ME! :bouncy ME! :bouncy ME! :bouncy ME!
