Thanks, 'ladybug' for the OSHA posting. I think at one of those news conferences it was mentioned that masks do not protect the user from getting the virus. But a lot of info is flying around, and recently I saw somewhere, maybe WebMD, that say it reduces chance of getting the virus by 65 percent.
Another place said that beards work against masks working well, that they prevent the sealing of the area around the mouth.
What we need is more info about the dangers of wearing a mask, like breathing in your own CO2.
But little matters when few people are wearing masks, and I think that is what explains the recent increase of cases in Florida. It's hot, it's summer, and people wnat to be out playing racquetball, tennis, basketball, going to the pool, beach, etc, and masks just don't work for them.
I just heard that pools are not safe because the chlorine reduces your immune system's resistance and makes it easier for you to get the virus from another person at the pool, If they check the temperature of each person, that would be OK, but then, another report says that 'seasoned citizens' do not get a high temp. when they get the virus.
It's like the experts telling people to get out and walk, then tell us...no, don't go out because the mask won't protect you.
So...just walk in |

I wish someone would do a study to show the correlation between the virus cases and restricted spaces like elevators, buses, and trains. I know you can look at any state's dept of health website to check different counties, and you can see that rural counties, with no public transit systems, few bldgs tall enough to have elevators, there are very few cases.
They might have Walmarts or other large stores full of people, but few cases. Can you make the connection?
But I also interested in the impact this virus or the govt shutdown is having on churches. Will people go back to church when we finally get beyond this? Will they change their involvement, dropping out of many activities like Sunday schools, choirs, etc.? Once they get used to hearing sermons online, and find websites like this one where there are 1,000s to hear, they might think...all that driving, all that need to dress up, put on a face, etc....do I need this? And with groups like Kiva, they can give money to needy people around the world, taking care of one object of their church. Maybe they will realize 90 percent of their donations is just paying for salaries, heat and a.c. of the bldg, and not for spreading the gospel. |

Do you think they would ban singing at one of those rallies against racism, operated by the Marxist organization, BLM?
Anytime you hear the words, 'systemic racism' you need to ask yourself, Can this be improved? The Bible tells us man has a "Systemic Sin" problem; the solution is Jesus. Do we think the same solution can work on this problem, too?
But wait, let me ask you, is it racism to choose 95percent blacks for your NBA team? Is it racism to choose 75 percent blacks for your NFL team? Yes, it's systemic racism operating against the Asians, whites, Hispanics. Does anyone want to see it changed?
Can we get rid of Affirmative Action programs, Head Start programs, and all other aid that targets mostly black people, because that just perpetuates this Systemic Racism?
And, then, I ask myself, why aren't the blacks from the Caribbean complaining that they can't get a fair shake in the USA, despite being immigrants and black? They also have slave backgrounds in their countries; you can safely say all blacks in the Caribbean did not come on the Mayflower or any similar ship, escaping poverty in Africa. No, black tribes in AFrica captured them, sold them to white slave traders (anyone remember Amazing Grace author John Newton?), who then sent them to the Caribbean. |

I have heard that in the Dominican REpublic, the races are so mixed that their forms do not have the categories of 'white, black, Hispanic, etc" but instead grade you on your hair. Do you have good hair (straight) or bad hair (curly, hard to control). A friend in Miami told me that he worked at a bank office and learned all about the blacks of the Caribbean, like Trinidad, Barbados, their food styles (spicy hot!), and hair. The women in his office would send him out to the cafeteria to get a snack because, unlike them, his hair might get messed up by the wind, but he could easily comb it back into place. |

Remember when it all started, we were comparing the 'regular' flu with this. CDC gave an estimate of 50k deaths from that flu, and the year before it was even higher. It shows you the reporting is not as clear as news media wants to give you. Also, have you noticed the number of cases cited by each state does not subtract any cases from April or May? Don't you think by now, June 29, all those cases have resolved, either recovered or died? Shouldn't they subtract them from today's number?
Also, the use of maybe, estimate, etc is very common in news stories. IT happens when editors want to get a story out and already have it in mind. so they run with this estimate. Try to find a story written like the Good Old Days of what, where, when , and why are the lead questions answered.
Example: Biden's son got $$$millions$$ as a consultant to a gas company in the Ukraine, when he has 0 experience in that industry.
If he was the top expert on this, maybe he would be worth it. Then, VP Biden tells Ukraine, get rid of that prosecutor or we will cut your....
NOw that's a simple news story. Will the Wash Post run it? CNN? Time? Newsweek? |

My humble understanding of Catholics is that most of them do not attend church with any regularity. Maybe the govt-imposed shut-down increased a desire to attend, like saying to someone, don't think about pink panthers, and all they can do is think about pink panthers. And there will always be the very religious elderly folk who will seek out the customary. It is like children who like to hear the same bed-time story repeated to them night after night. Elderly folk might say, after so many years, I have found what I like and I don't want to try new things in search of something I might like. "Better to like what you have than to go out seeking after something different that you might not like" (oops, that just explained why blacks have been voting for Democrats the past 50 yrs or so, with no real results; and the appeal of "Give Me That Old Time Religion")I have seen news of Catholic churches in many parts of the USA holding services already, and a friend tells me a Hispanic Baptist church near him had a grand re-opening service today. I wonder how the shut-down will change the local church? What do you think? |
