Here's a great article he recommended for people who've had to go back to, or currently work in an office environment. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412020317876 More informative podcasts from CIDRAP https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/podcasts-webinars Edited June 26, 2020 by ATXZJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 some people are so hell-bent on being selfish crybabies about wearing a mask that they are making up fake passes with a DOJ seal to get out of it. misuse of the federal seal is a great way to get yourself in even more trouble. https://cbsaustin.com/news/coronavirus/department-of-justice-warns-against-fake-mask-exemption-cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly he was anti-protest and if there were even a shred of evidence he'd be all over it. Not a peep. I have not been following everything super closely in our media but if Abbott happens to feel the same way I do, then he would not be anti-protest at all, but rather anti-riot and looting. If you've found a place were he said he's anti-protest, please let me know because I would find that impactful. Thanks CJB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack_turtle Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Difference of opinion regarding a pandemic that has killed 120k+ in the US alone. That's an "opinion" worth defending in favor of saving lives. We're not talking about wheel sizes of the color of that dress here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below expected utilization for what services? All of healthcare is suffering from loss of business just like many other industries. In a pandemic situation though, it's not overall healthcare utilization that matters. It's utilization of the services that are required to treat severely ill patients, and ensuring that infections don't spread within the walls of those facilities. I have close ties to leaders across each of the major health systems in Austin, and can assure you that none of them are brushing off this pandemic in the manner that you are trying to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what you keep avoiding is that masks prevent YOU from infecting others. Yes, we all, here in this forum, GREATLY understand you care not one whit about anyone else but yourself. We get it. We really do. Why you keep posting this crap is beyond understanding at this point. We're not going to convince you how wrong not wearing a mask is and you won't be convincing anyone that wearing a mask isn't right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMR Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Strangest stuff I've seen..... People are rioting, setting fire to small businesses, taking over areas of cities, trying to get rid of police, tearing down monuments (no matter what they stood for), beating the crap out of people on the street for no reason, pulling people out of their cars to beat them too..... All in our own country. And we're arguing about masks. To prevent a disease with an almost 100% survival rate. Strange indeed.

Strange indeed.I think that we’re arguing precisely because the survival rate is ALMOST 100%. It’s that few percent that represent people that one side cares deeply enough about that they will sacrifice comfort and their good looks to protect. The other side of that argument, they will happily sacrifice that percent on the altar of freedom.By the way, this is OUR country and we’re all lucky enough to be here so we can have these dissenting opinions and discuss them in the open like this.
