Rants and Stupid shit in Orange County

These respirators are to help block small particles that are carried through the air.

I do amateur automotive restoration work as a side gig.

Whenever working with certain paints, chemicals or doing a respray, several of these kits and products emphasize using a respirator to keep these particulates from entering your airway.

Eventually everyone will get infected with this virus, just like the common flu. The only alternative is to shut yourself out at home, avoid all social contacts and have no life.

I don't see any scientific study that supports the these statements. "Everyone" does not get infected with the "common flu", which is not a single type, as there are different types that occur every year (for which different vaccines have to be developed). If one is never exposed to these viruses, then you don't get infected. Likewise, people don't quarantine themselves each time there's a flu outbreak, and, going back to the first statement, everyone doesn't get infected.

By the way, the N95's with exhale valves offer less protection to other people than the masks without exhale valves.

This is kind of mis-stated. N95 masks, with or without exhale valves, offer the same protection to the people wearing them (assuming they are certified N95). They are not recommended by the CDC to be used in a sterile environment: "However, respirators with exhalation valves should not be used in situations where a sterile field must be maintained (e. G. , during an invasive procedure in an operating or procedure room) because the exhalation valve allows unfiltered exhaled air to escape into the sterile field. " So, the others who are not wearing N95 will be at higher risk of exposure from people who are wearing N95 with valves. But, that's not reducing the wearer's protection.

Also, N95 masks are referred to as respirators, which is a term to mean that they are designed to protect the wearer from foreign micro-particles, not necessarily to protect others from being exposed to the wearer's exhalation.

Per 10,000 population, there is more COVID19 in Anaheim and Santa Ana than other cities.

As I posted a few days ago in the San Bernardino MP thread, there's a place in Hesperia where they take your temperature at your forehead on the way in. I also read in one of the LA County threads about the same thing at a place there. I like it.

Note to any PPS or MMS reading these pages: I encourage you to do this too. I don't want to give up sex, so I'm doing a number of small things, each one cutting the risk back a little bit, to help me and these wonderful girls stay safe while you and the girls make money and I get the satisfaction I crave.

Lift Her Up.

Only reason for the temp check is in cause the health dept could do a unannounced walk-in to make sure they're following the rules. Pretty sure they really don't care about it.

Rectal temperature checks are more accurate.

I'm sure certain guys would ask for extra large and ribbed thermometers.

Keep lifting her up over your head.

Be careful what you wish for. It is referred to as the "novel" corona virus for a reason.

The jury is still out on whether the antibodies provide immunity. Is it like chicken pox. One-and-done (until you turn 50 and get nailed with shingles), or, is it like the common flu where you get immunity for the duration of flu season and then can get it again next year? Apparently there is no "season" for this virus. Contrary to sfb's proclamation, it didn't go away by April.

Another caveat is the severity of infection. Although odds are against the younger crowd being hospitalized, full recovery is apparently no walk in the park for many who acquire the virus.

If you want to continue to insist that this very bad flu is somehow a game changer in real life please keep it on the stupid shit thread. You're the same people that predicted Sweden would have 75,000 dead by the end of March if they didn't reverse course (4,000) and that everybody would get sick if the US opened (steadily declining cases and deaths for six weeks).

It's not nothing, it's obviously something but we let you doom sayers kill 30,000,000 jobs and put 400,000,000 people globally into extreme poverty. Enough is enough, time to get back to life. There is no "new normal. " There's just normal.

We are not going to get good science from double blind tests until probably 2021 1st qtr at the earliest.

With that said there is good data from 3 different countries including the USA suggesting people who are do not have sufficient levels of Vit D are going through the worst cases of Cov2 including death. There are studies going on to make this "science" but like I said we will not have that kind of "science" until early 2021 at best. I would suggest people getting tested for Vit D to see their levels and if need take supplements. There are other things to be done to strengthen immune system and I suggest people look into that.

By all means if someone wants to wear masks and stay at home use those methods of protection.

The Cov2 (COVID-19) conversation is probably far more complex than a forum section for going to TJ to have fun with girls can handle but if your whole defense is based on wearing a mask I suggest do more research.

You guys still freaking out about this right? Orange county stats I linked below, those dying are only people who are old. And it's not just because they're old probably, the older they are the more likely, which means? Use reasoning. They have compromised immune systems. Not full strength. Could be other reasons too but it doesn't target people based on age, there's reasoning to it.

I wonder what else it could be other than weakened immune systems.

I didn't know that, thanks. I happened to be wearing an N95 without exhale vavles. But my overall point about myself, for anyone interested, is that I want to cut my infection risk way back, but I don't want to cut it to zero if that means living without sex. And, I also wanted my friends here to know about current conditions in that place.

You are right there are a lot of unknowns about this virus.

Latest info show a very high percentage of people got infected. Healthy people get rid of the virus without symptoms, but those who get sick require long and expensive treatment. Even after recovery, their organs' tissues are permanently scarred which will reduce life span.

There are no vaccines for HIV, HPV, AIDS, Herpes virus after decades of trying. Effective vaccines for CoVid-19 are very unlikely to happen within a couple years. Eventually everyone will get infected with this virus, just like the common flu. The only alternative is to shut yourself out at home, avoid all social contacts and have no life.

This virus is the worst disaster in the last 100 years right after the Yellow Fever and Spanish flu that killed millions.

I have been all over SoCal the last 3 months but tested negative for CoVid-19. I was hoping for antibodies so I can get immune.

This doesn't really help much, as those wearing non-N95 masks mainly prevent the spread of their own droplets, not protection from others. Also, if techs aren't wearing masks, and they are infected from previous customers, then even a kiss will pass on body fluids through your mouth. A great number of people are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms, so one cannot assume that techs or anyone else aren't infected just because they're still working and maybe feeling fine.

So, I wore a mask the whole time, except for the good-bye kiss at the end. Supposedly the droplets fall to the ground after 15 minutes or whatever, but I think that's in a lab setting, and who knows what happens in these tiny rooms with lots of activity. So, to minimize how much of someone else's droplets I breathe, I'm making a point now to get in when the places open up in the morning so I'm the first guy in.
