@chic not trying to argue or anything but if people had been left to make their own choices do you honestly believe we'd be better off right now?
i think we'd have even more dead and more horrifying things happening within the hospitals had they not done something to get this thing slowed down. i have seen too many coworkers who have lost loved ones to this virus. i don't think it's fair to say that the masks go against human rights where a pandemic is concerned because it involves all of us. not just you. not just me...not just holly...not just win...all of us. all of our lives matter whether people wanna wear a mask or not..

i disagreeYES! We'd be much better off.![]()
It's what I've been thinking all along... at the very least..as we do with babies in the NicuWhy not install those silly plexiglass panels they have in markets? Ya know, the ones with big holes in them so cashiers can hand you your change?
And, since masks protect.......
Where did I say I was against the wearing of Masks ?@chic not trying to argue or anything but if people had been left to make their own choices do you honestly believe we'd be better off right now?

My nephew's wife lost both parents to covid within 5 days just a few weeks ago. She and her brother were allowed to see her father before he passed. They did have to don full hazmat suits and were only allowed in one at at a time. Not sure why since they both had the suits on. He was on a vent so didn't even know they were there. Unfortunately her Mom died overnight and they weren't informed till the morning so they didn't get to see her.It's what I've been thinking all along... at the very least..as we do with babies in the Nicu
However there is no shortage of PPE now, and if a top doctor can admit that preventing a patient from having a relative with them as they leave this earth.. then he knows much more than we do that it's possible.. and not only possible..a Human violation when it's not permitted.
As he says.. if it were him with a dying relative or friend he would be demanding anything.. whether a Hazmat suit or even an astronaut suit...
if a cleaner is allowed in the room.. then there's a way to allow a relative or friend..
is your name chic? i wasn't addressing you. i was addressing the whole thing in general.Where did I say I was against the wearing of Masks ?
don't be mad. i was just saying i wasn't directing any comment at you.is your name chic? i wasn't addressing you. i was addressing the whole thing in general.
Don't come at me then, if you don't want me to be angry....don't be mad. i was just saying i wasn't directing any comment at you.
i'm not coming at you. i'm responding to your posts is all.Don't come at me then, if you don't want me to be angry....![]()
this is what i said. in this sentence there is nothing that says you are against masks.@chic not just me...not just holly...not just win...all of us.
I agree. In the beginning it made sense because of the PPE shortages and a lack of understanding about how the virus is most often transmitted. Those circumstances - at least in most countries - are no longer true.It's what I've been thinking all along... at the very least..as we do with babies in the Nicu

yes indeed, in India there's a big shortage although Britain and many western countries have shipped tons of it over to them now...I agree.

It appears that in some places PPE and other equipment shortages are a big problem. India springs to mind.
I'm very worried about India - such a huge population and so few resources in many areas.yes indeed, in India there's a big shortage although Britain and many western countries have shipped tons of it over to them now...
Yes, it is about you and me and Holly and Win and many like us who were once individuals. The FREE world, ie. social democracies are made up of independent individuals and we matter. The need to be a free individual making free choices is why so much of what's going on to curb this pandemic is not working as well as it could have been.no what i said is that the pandemic wasn't about just her or me or you or win.
When living in a society individual freedom of choice is restricted for the safety and welfare of all. Traffic rules don't work as well as they could but they generally keep us safe on the road. Taxes are collected (against the desire of many) to pay for infrastructure and provide for the general good. Just two examples.The need to be a free individual making free choices is why so much of what's going on to curb this pandemic is not working as well as it could have been.
