Masks & the Dangers of False Security

8/1/2020

Comments

 
  Leftist state & local govt. leaders are rolling the dice on hopes that a magic mask can repel a new airborne virus, akin to the folklore use of garlic to repel vampires.
  It's outraging constitutionalists who believe that no one can be deprived of liberties w/o due process of law (5th Amendment of US Constitution). Contagious disease policies require a judge's order of direct evidence of  transmission or exposure to a known deadly disease in order to issue a specific quarantine. But lazy contemporary orders are assuming that the whole community, including recovered patients; are deadly carriers. It defies medical science.
  The World Health Organization has been rocked with global scandal over their coverup of the early days of the Chinese outbreak of a new strain of Coronavirus.  But the globalists who've defended the WHO, including major social media tyrants like Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, & Google search engines.
Picture
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director General of WHO, listed only certain conditions were masks are essential; in his April 6th & June 5th statements.

Social media outlets like Facebook are now letting political groups like the leftist journal, Politifact; determine what the medical realities are. Politifact now  has the power to ban the asking of honest questions regarding response to the viral dangers.
​ A Doctor's video was banned on Facebook because he stepped up to a microphone and asked; "What if we're wrong" about treatment protocols?
  It's the most amazing plunge into medieval dark ages mentality.  But political exploiters of the pandemic are going further than their anointed science leaders even approve of.
Picture
We created this sarcastic meme in response to the Facebook policy of letting a left wing political group set the science & health policy knowledge base for social interaction online.
  Oklahoma's Covid-19 transmission rates are going up in the 3 weeks we've been in the mask mandate era. It defies the  claims of mask effectiveness. It may even be doing what the WHO warned of; causing false security and more reckless interactions. 
  Tulsa leaders have not ordered a ban on adult sexual hookups outside the household where bodily fluids exchange. Tulsa's law enforcement have not cracked down on known prostitution rings in over a year. But the city will shut down an auto mechanic who doesn't wear a mask in the hot garage.
  WHO Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus; made these major policy statements:
​"Members of the general public only need to wear a mask if:
 1. you are taking care of a person with Covid-19 
 2. if you are coughing or sneezing.” 
April 6 policy paper
“Masks can also create a false sense of security, leading people to neglect measures, such as hand hygiene and physical distancing.
 I cannot say this clearly enough: Masks alone will not protect you from Covid-19.”
June 5 WHO press conference

Picture
Families have many ways of being active while socially distancing from the broader public. Camping, hiking, and recreational opportunities are still very available.
The coronaviruses does not live long on a dry surface.  You'll likely only catch the disease if you're in close proximity to the person spreading it.  So limiting your risks should start out with living healthy and proactively keeping yourself away from masses of people.
Even in a public place, you can be patient and wait for a crowd to clear out before walking into a retail store or public building.
Social distancing does work remarkably well, but broad home quarantines are not helpful when the heat forces the public to use air conditioning. the AC units do not allow fresh air exchange.  Regularly getting active outside, while safely distancing; is the best strategy for healthy living (along with good  and hygiene).
  A friend of mine owns a prominent disc golf pro shop in Minnesota. He reports that this summer has been perhaps one of his biggest seasons. People are finding healthier outlets than hanging out in shopping malls, movie theaters, and theme parks.

Picture
A real piece of thorough breathing protection costs nearly $100 but a dust mask costs around $1. Govt. mandates are ordering the public to protect against dust & pollen, but the public thinks they are keeping the virus from their lungs.

  Calling a paper or dust mask 'a barrier to viral spread' is like calling chain link fencing a mosquito block. 
You're very likely to face a terrible outbreak of infection if you falsely rely on the cheap masks to give you a shield of  viral protection. 
There are real masks which serve as respirators, but the govt. has declined to make them widely available to the public.

    ​"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic.  I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
