Deadly virus or deadly media

The mask is not meant to protect you from catching it. It is meant to protect others.

Yes, i have heard this also..an agree to a point.

What tickles me is that;

if masks work so well against viruses, why wouldn't we be using them during every flu season?

And if the virus is as bad as the media makes it out to be, wouldn't the streets be lined with dead people who didn't have homes to quarantine in?

I guess my underlying point to this meme is;
IF the virus isn't as bad as it's being made out to be, should we be forced to wear masks?

Also, have you noticed that not many people seem to be dying of anything other than covid in 2020..i find that suspicious?

all the thousands of different ways people can die 'sickness' related pre-2020...'POOF' gone?! And replaced with covid?!?

What's worse: someone farting directly on your bare face, or someone wearing pants and underpants and standing two meters away AND you're wearing a facemask when they do?

Choose very carefully and take all the time in the world.

I guess that would come down to personal preference..

Each to their own😉

Me personally, i would say BOTH are worse but that would defeat the point to the question..

So my personal choice would the latter😊

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, even if it's some sort of fetish, you can make yourself very sick letting people fart directly on your face with no kind of barrier whatsoever. How can you not see this? I can't make it any more obvious that there's an objective component to this. Your attitude wouldn't stop the spread of E Coli - how are you commenting on the spread of coronavirus?!

That's why i said I'd choose the latter option, NOT the "on my face" option🙂

I see where you're coming from..

Though, before covid i rarely (if ever) encountered people who would sneeze and cough close to me, let alone in my face or in my mouth!!

Besides, if covid is so bad and makes people so sick, why would they be walking around in public?🤒😷

When I'm sick, i stay at home and spend most of my time in bed..
i don't go walking around the local mall sneezing and splattering into people's mouths?!?!

"Besides, if covid is so bad and makes people so sick, why would they be walking around in public?"

It has a much longer incubation period than the Flu, it takes a couple of weeks to feel the symptoms during which time they might have been walking around spreading it.
There are already lots of stories about this happening, people thinking they are fine and going to weddings or parties and then many of the people they mixed with getting sick a couple of weeks later.

Fair point JRBobDobbs..

Though, with this said..
How is it, out of all the possible options we have available in our "arsenal" to battle this crisis, that there was no mention from any of our global leaders, advising people to consume fresh natural foods and liquids that are known (and have been proven) to strengthen our immune systems and overall health, while avoiding those that weaken it?!

Grouped with the masks and social distancing, etc.?

Is that not just common sense? Does anybody think eating junk food is going to improve their health?

The focus has been on masks (because they prevent the spread through the virus carrying droplets we exhale) and on social distancing because they make the biggest difference.

Anyone who cares about their health is already doing their best to eat fresh natural food. The immediate focus has been on stopping the spread.

New Zealand took the advice about masks and social distancing really seriously, everyone was willing to make the effort and they've gotten rid of it.

The people that don't want to play ball are making things worse for everyone.

Common sense for me, certainly..

i can't speak for those who may or may not be aware of the link between "nutrition, exercise and rest" and overall health..

So to cover all bases, which it seems governments were attempting to do with all the other suggestions..

..why not add one more, which may not be in the awareness spectrum of some?

Have you seen the videos of the frontline doctors from the US claiming that already established FDA approved drugs were clearing the virus from their patients?

They were also adding the numbers up of infection and death rates and concluded that the risk of covid being fatal for most people was the same or a little less than the common flu?

These doctors claimed 0.003% chance of dying from covid [depending on their patients age and if they had any pre-exisiting conditions]..

So, shutting down the global economy, putting global citizens on house arrest, forced not to look or touch each other (a vital human need)...

And when we'd turn on the news to grasp any glimmer of hope, the media would be pumping out more and more fear!!!

I haven't met anyone yet who has had it or knows anyone who's had it..which i think is strange, considering we're in a global pandemic crisis!!?🤔🙂

Well, you say that, but if you can catch the flu on a regular basis then apparently you're not keeping as far from people sneezing and coughing as you think you are.

Agreed, they wouldn't be keeping as far away if they catch the flu on a regular basis..

I would suggest to those people to adjust their diet and consume more fresh fruit, veg and leafy greens and drink purified water..

that would give their biological intelligence a nice little boost, I'm sure of it😊

And your advice is why people are still dying of covid.

Thank you for your perspective antithesis🙏🏼🤗

just so I'm clear with it though..

Are you suggesting that eating fresh, clean, healthy natural foods DOESN'T boost people's immune systems (and over health) protect against things that are attempting to harm or kill them?🤔😊

I hate arguments like this. This is basically a straw man argument and it's childish.

I never suggested that they're not good things to do for your health - I merely pointed out that they're not going to make you invulnerable to COVID.

People who do these things have still died of coronavirus.

And if you're carrying the virus asymptomatically and kill your neighbor's grandma by shaking her hand, what comfort is it to anyone to know that you ate beat root every day so your immune system should be fine?

Ok, sorry to have bothered you with my point of view..

I just like to question things, no offence intended😊💕
