Theoretically, If I wear a mask It will stop 95% of the bad germs coming out in my breath. That way I can protect you, because I care. But if you wear the same kind of mask, and I don’t wear one, it doesn’t protect you from me. Do these masks have a one way filter? How do we know which side is inhale, and which is exhale? If it’s the same kind of mask shouldn’t it provide the same percentage for breathing in as well as out? It seems like someone is trying to make me feel guilty about something I didn’t do.

First thing that comes to my mind is videos of stupid kids riding a wheelie toward oncoming traffic. Last possible second, they'll whip it around to dodge the car (flat turn). All while riding on the back wheel. When I corner, I think of it as digging in my rear tire instead of unweighting the front. Plus, it kinda depends on how sharp the turn is and how much speed you're carrying. I don't know if I'm right or not, but I seldom wash out the front tire in corners.

I didn't watch the video. But, should there be a different approach if you're pedaling through a turn vs. "pumping" through a turn? Maybe that depends on if there's a berm or not? I usually keep my weight back FWIW.

Fixed that for you.

What I should've said was, "America seems pretty dysfunctional when viewed through the lens of a news camera."

What if there is? All I can say is that I've never seen @TAF and batboy in the same room. Coincidence?

Ok. I'll say it. While everyone is laser focused on how our neighbors are going to kill us, does anyone wonder if this is a distraction so we don't look at the real problems? Is there any organization who can launch a pandemic that might be bad, but not that bad? Is there any way to blow it out of proportion? Who is mis-informing whom? Is there an organization who can start riots and destroy things? America seems pretty dysfunctional to the outside looking in. Asking for a friend.

That sucks. I hope you can get your surgery.

If I came to your place of business, and you required a mask while I was there, I'd wear one. If you came to my place, I wouldn't. This kind of compromise I understand.

So is the attitude of "Wear the damn mask! You're gonna kill us all, you thick skulled asshole!!"

Right. And they're also saying things about presymptomatic vs. asymptomatic. I read the article. It's still pretty tough to really know what's going on based on headlines like this. Plus, a lot of the stuff within these articles is fluff. Sometimes quotes are taken out of context. Doesn't mean I'm a sociopath, an asshole, nor a dickhead. Nor am I embarrassed.

What if I never get it? What if you never get it? Why should we waste away hiding at home?

I get what you're saying. To me, it's about people trying to shame someone into doing something they don't feel is necessary.

No. I get the point. Living in fear of something that I MIGHT get, something that has such a high survival rate, seems pretty sheep-ish.

I've had no symptoms for months. I work with people that live from Austin to Killeen. None of us wear masks. Went to a wedding last weekend with people from all over. Still don't have a virus. I'm sorry you're so scared. I didn't even cuss at you or call you names.

Clobber an old lady with invisible nunchucks? That no one can prove that I have? This is getting funny now. Imagine someone who just started reading this. Wow.

This is getting ridiculous. I don’t have the virus (nunchucks). That’s why I don’t wear a mask. If you’re afraid, stay home and be obedient. Order your stuff online, or have HEB bring it to your car. You’re responsible for your own wellbeing. Or, you can blame others. It all up to you.

And, for what it's worth, I'm not anti-mask. If you wanna wear one, go right ahead. I'm not going to chastise you for it. I'll leave you alone. I'd appreciate the same in return.

Jeez! Calm down... and yes, if you're walking around HEB swinging your nunchucks around, it's my job to avoid you. You have every right to swing whatever you want. Until you hit me with it. Then we'll have a different kind of discussion. However, if you're swinging nunchucks that no one can see, and no one can prove that you have nunchucks, should I stand there and lecture you about putting your nunchucks away? Because you might hit someone with them?

Correction, it's not my job to make you safe. Its your job to make sure you're buckled into your high chair. How many politicians have contracted the virus? Do they have better science?

Since when is a feeling a right? Do I have the right to feel happy? Sad? Feeling safe is up to you. It is politics.

Is this the Asymptomatic-Thick Skulled morons? The morons who haven't been sick? The ones who feel fine, haven't missed a day of work, and are living their own lives? The ones who aren't at home, hugging their pillows, watching CNN in fear? What is there to understand?

Christ Church’s skinny?
