I'm sure you'll have another chance eventually.

","text":"I doubt very much that I will ever have to go to a butcher err doctor. I'm very old now and haven't been sick enough to need a doctor in my entire life. Shattered my heel once and even then only went to a doctor for a cast in which I cut off myself in 2 days because of the pain it gave me. Pain worse than shattering it. \nAll my autoimmune systems are working as they should for all humans if they just wake up to the fact that what \"they\" have been telling us about what to eat and selling in the grocery stores well make you sick and depend on doctors when you are old and on meds. Meds that only treat the symptoms not the root cause of whatever is ailing you. \nDo you honestly think that a little mask that only covers your mouth and nose will do much stopping an airborne virus out of your system? \nThe answer I am taking to this virus is the one thing that I have taken all my long life. Never a sick full day in my life. All my family is now healthy and it's very rare that any of them are sick for more than 24 hours and my mom is in her 90's, and that is to make sure ALL my immune systems are working to their best possible in this polluted world humans have created. \n\nNO!, just no, I am going with what I absolutely know that works for my family and I! \n\nMask up if you feel that will save you from a virus that kills less than .05% of those millions worldwide that will catch the virus no matter what unless you want to spend your life in a bubble. \nShutting down and closing things down will kill millions more people than the virus will ever. \nI am merely stating what I will do dealing with this virus and not trying to tell anyone else what to do with their lives and I will NOT argue with another person's choice or views.","replyToPid":391070}

","text":"That is only one way Ben's quote can be taken. I agree... but now what? \nSomehow I doubt I will see total transparency in anyone that holds an appointed position, voted for, government personnel or the whole government agencies themselves, in my lifetime. \neven total transparency of anyone that runs for a government position or the agencies themselves could have real issues even if it was done worldwide. Which of course I feel is impossible because of the many differences amongst many groups of people. \nI would hate for the world be of one mind.","replyToPid":391047}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Fair enough, I do respect your choice and agree with your overall message. \nIt's not an airborne virus though. It lives in bodily fluids which can be sprayed from a person sneezing upwards of 30 ft. The mask is only meant to keep fluid filled mouth sprays down to about 2-4 ft. hence, why they recommend a 6 ft distance and a proper mask, 2-layers at least. \nMe personally? I'll roll the dice, same as you.","replyToPid":0}
