What kind of fancy ass masks are these that will let a virus in.... but won’t it out?

It is to prevent, or at least minimize, the 'spray' from coughs and sneezes.

Do you seriously not see how that would work? Want me to draw you a picture?

Don’t you get that the mask would filter both ways?
Do I need to draw you a picture??

And something else for all of you anti- mask people.
If my kids are wearing a mask when they are in public, they won’t be putting their fingers in their mouths.

Now in New Jersey.

But it is dramatically effective going out, since it is basically blocking all of the points of exit.

Are you sure you don't need me to draw you a picture??

Are you really qualified to be giving medical advice on the internet? Never tell someone to stop taking their meds if you aren't.

tennisdawg, where are you?

With the new info out that there are 2 strains and one is more aggressive and you can have both strains at the same time.... I wish he'd come share some new info! Stuff he said seems more and more plausible

I’ve been preaching to the choir about masks since version 2 of this thread. 🍻

A question rattling around in my head that likely none of us knows the answer to:

With 161 mutations and two (4?) "variants" that are sufficiently different as to cause different syptoms, severity and transmission modalities, AND one can infect a patient that already developed an immune response to the other(s?):

what mutations and/or variants do these "tests" discover?

Maybe this is behind the noise we have heard about the original CDC test being for multiple [xxx], and subsequent issues delivering "working" test kits.

(No, I dont have any inside info regarding this, just suspicions and speculation.)

161 mutations? I step away for 5 minutes and then this...

I think it's been in New Jersey all along. Remember, the cruise ship just let all those passengers go. I'm sure plenty live in New Jersey.

If there are more one type of corona virus I'm assuming that greatly complicates making a vaccine, and if this is mutating every mutation will require a new vaccine.

So this isn't going away anytime soon....
