If I can feel your breath on my eyeballs, pandemic or otherwise, we are either married or you are way closer than 6 feet from me....or we're drunk and passing a dube over a good laugh.:kissgrin:

Glad your back Shaggy.
Thanks for the welcome back.
Fair point on being too close caljim!
But you also make a good point.
If we are passing a fatty and you laugh at my joke, cause I am so dam funny.....:biggrin:
There is a good chance you are spitin in my eye.
If someone sneezes even with a mask some virus will escape out the side of the mask into the air.
If you walk into that area and that air hits your eyes, you stand a high chance of infection.

If your eyes are not protected you are not fully protected.

i wear a welding mask at the store.

kind of Freddy Krueger ish but it works.

i took a pair of gun range safety glasses - not meant to be worn with a mask - and drilled 2x 3/8 holes in the side pieces.

i managed to get through one trip to the grocery store but they were fogging pretty bad.

Ha-ha!
I had the same experience when I first went out.
Ebay had a bunch of stuff I bought several pairs of goggles/glasses hybrids.
I had the gloves the mask the goggles all on to go shopping.
Then I was gonna wear the tyvek suit when I went to the hospitals.

Cut to the chase here...
I had to clean my goggles every 5 min. too.
With my dirty gloves, it was frustrating.
Watch this for a good laugh...

Now I would just suggest a wrap around pair of safety type glasses.
If you can get em with foam that would be better.

But they must breath, and breath well.
I hope to divert the majority of the air away from the eyes.

glad to hear you're taking it seriously !!!


i wore gloves for a while

BUT the virus does not pass through the outer layer of skin, the dermis.

now I just wear gloves if I'm going to a few stores and won't be able to wash my hands and want to have clean hands for a meeting or something.


as far as the Covid19 Virus particles themselves, it's just a troublesome piece of dust.

i clean them the same way i clean dust off of anything, sort of. Can't see the Covid19 particles, they are 60 nanometers, 1/400 of a thousandth of an inch. 1/2400 of a human hair (.006 inches)


since i often have small cuts on my hands, and sometimes pick the cuticles on my fingers - nervous habit - i wonder about those breaks in the skin being a place where Covid19 can get a foot-hold.
 

I'mback

Comfortably numb!
Why are you explaining military chem suites to me?
Do those fancy military suits you are on about, have eye protection?
I think that is what you are trying to say, I just don't know?

I was simply trying to say....
If your eyes are not protected you are not protected.

I thought that I was pretty clear, but we all uptake differently.

It is an easy concept to grasp if you think about it for a while...LOL

Or wear your mask thinking you are protected, in reality you are not.
Full chem suits (not suites (it isn't a hotel) comes with the understanding that the face mask/gas mask etc... is worn and they come fully equiped with windows so you can see out! Check you tube :biggrin:

Spelling police huh, good to know your perfect.
What is equiped? Do you mean equipped?
Why are we playing childish spelling games here?

So what are you even saying here?
If we want eye protection we need a full face respirator or chem suit?
I am still lost on the point you are trying to make with your statement.
You are not being very clear at all.

OK Shaggy, we get it: You don't believe in pandemics and will twist and turn logic and history any way necessary to browbeat everyone else with that notion. Its tiresome to see people endangering their fellow citizens by being obtuse. Please stop.

if Shaggy doesn't believe in Pandemics, why is he/she warning people that their eyes can be infected with Covid19 ?

Shaggy never told people to wear safety glasses & facemasks pre-Covid19.

Some folks just have to be lead around by the hand.
They just don't get it on their own.

You say I don't believe in pandemics?
Why do you say this, it is very untrue.
Did I tell you this?
How do you know?
Please explain why you feel this is true.

Please give an example of how I have twisted the truth in the past.
Please quote for best reference.

Please provide an example of when I brow beat anyone.
If they started giving me shit first well then they drew first blood.
Please quote me for best reference.

What is even more tiring is folks like you spreading mis- information.
That is really harmful to the rest of the world.
I grow very tired of folks that claim they know me and what I stand for.
You don't know me, stop thinking you do.

You are starting to look silly.
So please just stop it.

St. Phatty is right here!
At least some folks round here are able to think on their own.

Being able to think for one's self is a rare commodity these days.

Give er a shot...LOL

I am starting to wonder if you're really even being 100% honest with yourself about the fact that you have an agenda. Its ok to have an agenda, but your agenda tends heavily toward downplaying this situation and my understanding of the science suggests you're not taking this seriously enough. Or perhaps not in the right way.

i'm so disappointed in "Doctor" john campbell.

you know i don't recall him saying a word about the dangers of Hydroxychloroquine, when 100's of Thousands of people were taking it in 2019 and January 2020, as part of normal preparation for travel to the tropics.

How do you know that many people - or more - were taking it ?

because it has a usage history of 500+ million doses.

and now he's talking about the "dangers of HCQ."


so ... what about simply taking HCQ as an anti-viral, in Trip-to-Africa size doses ?


of course, Youtube channels that stray from medical orthodoxy are de-monetized by Youtube.

so sad to see, it is all about the Benjamins.


do you think the government of Costa Rica might be smart enough to communicate with their citizens about HCQ dosage ?

I have a feeling they managed to work that out.

So pathetic to see how the US approaches Covid19.

They already have a medication comparable to a vaccine - anti-virals, taken prophylactically.


And of course - HCQ is not the best anti-viral for Covid19. but it is helping people in Costa Rica & Israel. not that I care about the latter but that is a separate subject.

I can see why you think that. Personally, I don't believe Trump is taking it. Neither does the RPN and the Dr in our family. The reason? Hydroxychloroquine is an example of a serious drug, with very serious side effects, that work for even more serious things like Lupus and Malaria (and a few other things they mentioned I can't spell. lol). At Trump's age and weight, heart arrhythmia is almost a sure thing (just repeating what I'm told).

I travel *way more than the average person in central and south america and my dr. never prescribed it to me once in 10+ years. And I do jungle/rural treks often. I have had shots, but never Hydroxychloroquine that I know of.

I have taken Proguanil (for malaria) but it has very few side effects. I only needed to take it the day I left and 14 days after I returned. I've only taken it twice because of where I was going.

interesting, just spoke to someone who had the same view
that Trump is lying
i just kind of assumed he had no reason to lie
then reality hit me in the face again
this is Trump - The Father Of Lies

He lies like a 12 year old. Constantly. Even when he's caught red handed.
