Wear a Mask

[Sheepwheat]

Don’t act like your smarter than everyone else and ridicule for not wearing a mask when your hunting moose is that what your referring to? You thought that was a joke! Might be if your not a public business.

I never ridiculed a single soul. If you don’t want to wear a mask moose hunting, so be it. If you want to wear a mask moose hunting, go for it. Nothing against moose hunters with or without masks.

How fůcking hard is it?

When I don't have to I don't, when I'm asked to I do, even when I'm not asked to and think it's in my best interest...I do by choice.

People who live is seclusion might have a false sense of security or immunity, but when you're in higher infection areas I choose to take a precaution.

And nope, everyone isn't going to die from Covid but if you or someone close to you does and the end result could have been different because of a little risk mitigation..... you might wished you and others would have taken the issue a little more serious.

This too shall pass, but does it have to divide us?

....how hard is it?

Another thought. I would rather follow the rules than be the one that has to make the rules. Has seemed like a bit of a gong show from the authorities I know but gotta cut them some slack also, the situation is new to everyone and they are doing what they feel is right. One wrong decision or omission and more people die than have to, its not easy at the top.

You must not be a small business owner, on the verge of bankruptcy.
Also no one seems to take the residual damage into account. Yes we can maybe save one or two 90 year olds. (Which should be a priority) But what about all the shuttered business owners. Trying to raise a young family, whose lives will be ruined?

A widespread uncontrolled out break will also potentially put many small businesses under and potentially overwhelm the healthcare system leading to further problems and fear.

With some support for the most vulnerable businesses maybe we can save some and help get them going again post covid? But we cant bring back the dead.

No I'm not, ag has been fortunate.

You are right Jordy but not sure you are looking at both sides of the coin here.

Option A is follow the rules, keep the virus under control as well as possible and keep the economy rolling with minimal inconveines of masks, cleaning and social distancing.

Option B is resist all the rules and have the economy locked down again causing even further damage as cases and hospitalizations get out of control.

Which option do you prefer? Right now too many people are choosing Option B. It's a no brainer to me, but then I'm just a dumb farmer.

"Polio is a very contagious infection that is caused by the poliovirus."

SIL got polio in 1952. Nobody else in the family living in same house got it. Can't be explained. No precautions were taken.

Comments about coughing, IF that is one's symptom OF COURSE stay home! Non symptomatic RARELY transmit any type of virus/bacteria. Blessed Fauci said so. So 99%+ that have NOT contracted this virus are to be assumed INFECTIOUS? Just use reason.

And another missing angle is that IF this virus is circulating in the air, it can and will enter though your MOIST eyes, get drained into your nose and guess where they swab? Even a tiny amount, the miraculous PCR will find. Oh ya 80% of positives never know they are sick at all.

All you who wear, are you touching adjusting, putting in your pocket? That's all I see.
I will stay away from those risky people. Good luck everyone, can't wait for this dystopian movie to end!

I am not anti mask i will wear one if asked too, but like Jays post i too have some questions. Have relatives in Montreal they have been wearing masks for months and are now locked down, have friends in Winnipeg who have been wearing masks and they are getting more cases, have relatives in Alberta who have been wearing masks and now are getting more cases, same in Regina and Saskatoon. Now as a farmer i begin to wonder that something is not working and needs to be trouble shooted, are masks not working? and the government and heath officials know they made a mistake and are in too deep to admit that they are wrong or are people spreading it more by wearing moist masks adjusting them and then touching stuff? There are so many different opinions out there some where there is a answer and don't say vaccine because i think that is years away. P.s. keep up the good work sheepwheat, we are doing the same here.

After reading some anger management material, I believe some on here would have an improved quality of life with application of said same. Some could really use a good therapist.
Like, we don't need a cuss filter on here but an ahole filter.

Here, the overwhelming majority are choosing option A.
They are also now being blamed, for what is a mass failing of care, for the most vulnerable.
Most people don't like being punished for a governments mis doing. So only a matter of time when people complying with option A, say enough, and choose option B
