Free Masks to Customers


Some businesses nation-wide are requiring employees to wear face masks. And some are handing out free masks to patrons! This is exactly what I said I would do if I had a retail store so I could keep the doors open. Such is an example of one of many possible options that should have been available instead of a nanny-state force closing. And what an awesome way to show your customers how valuable they are!

Are they taking away from medical personnel’s PPE? No! But just wait, there will be an article about how they might be, likely with absolutely no evidence other than the opinion of a "chosen" expert.

I've commented early on how wearing masks in public will help slow the spread of COVID-19. I also criticized the CDC, and Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Jerome Adams, the Surgeon General, for saying wearing masks won't help slow the spread and that wearing them will take supplies from healthcare workers who need them (I hope people saw the contradiction). 

 So, we listened to bad medical advice that negatively impacted the lives of over 300 million people. What a malpractice suit that would be!

The argument about knowing how to wear them was irrelevant because that was about respirators, and the referred to masks are not respirators. Respirators require a fit test. In short, a person is tested for what size respirator they should wear to produce an airtight seal, and the process is trial and error. The masks we could have been wearing from the beginning are cheap, simple material-based with elastic straps that are incapable of an airtight seal.

Now the tables have turned, and people are wearing masks. America has, like I said we would, become creative and found ways to wear masks that didn’t detract from healthcare supplies. This included making masks, whether material-based or 3D printed. 

 And, now Fauci and the CDC are recommending wearing masks.

The Trump Virus

We’ve recently heard Nancy Pelosi call the novel coronavirus the Trump Virus. What we’ve seen the Democrats say and do this year is way beyond unconscionable. And now to start a catchphrase like that – the whole behavior on the left is just disgusting.  A second virus in the same family is again coming out of the same city (Wuhan) in China (brand new in 2003) with that country’s only level 4 bio lab that we helped fund including funding sent in 2014 (Obama years) to study bat viruses (the genetics of this coronavirus was confirmed to come from those in bats). If we attribute anyone or anywhere to the virus, it would be China or Wuhan China.  Moreover, but secondary to this discussion is, why did these two viruses from the same place coincidentally appear just before a presidential election of a Republican incumbent? The first one, SARS (SARS-CoV) appeared late 2003 before the 2004 Presidential election with G. W. Bush as the incumbent POTUS. Now it’s Trump as the incumbent (SA...

Face Masks: Asia vs. U.S.A.

Seeing Japanese people wearing facemasks was a common thing the last time I visited Japan, 13 years ago. Those I saw wearing facemasks were in high enough frequency it was remarkable to me. The Japanese I worked with over there described wearing masks as a proven method to prevent spreading illness and their civic duty to wear them if they're ill. Today you'll see most Japanese wearing facemasks. Could that have contributed to why they have only one case of COVID-19 in every 120,500 people and 30% fewer deaths, while the U.S. has one case in every 12,325 people? We have only 2.6 times as many citizens in the U.S.A. but we have 26 times more geographically area than Japan, making them 10 times as densely populated, and that is conservative given most of the population is in less than half the area. And they have the 4th busiest airport in the world. My guess is if they required everyone and all visitors to wear facemasks, the case count would be significantly l...

Ultraviolet Radiation on SARS-CoV2

Just sharing my thoughts on the impact of Ultraviolet (UV) light in sunlight on deactivating the Coronavirus. I've read articles and news reports saying sunlight doesn't kill the virus. I think they wrote such simply because Trump said it did. They mentioned the various wavelengths of UV light and how only the shortest are effective at deactivating the virus. They only offered an opinion about its lack of effectiveness against SARS-CoV2 citing past studies loosely relevant to back various points of their opinion. But they did not themselves study the effect of sunlight on the virus. There are three bands (range of wavelengths) of UV light identified based on their interactions with biological material. Understand that a band is a range of wavelengths. The shorter wavelengths are the most dangerous to genetic material. However, the shorter the wavelength the easier it is absorbed in the stratosphere. So the claims are that sunlight doesn't kill the virus. I disagree. Our ski...
