Don't want to wear a mask on a cruise and wiling to stay home? Why would anyone have an issue with that? And I am curious since I have been emphatically told that you are a physician, why are you so anti-mask? Not being combative in any way, but honestly am really curious. As I have mentioned before I find them very fatiguing. When I was in residency I would get very fatigued in longer surgical procedures. Whether it was from standing in one place for a long time, the mental processes of the procedure, the mask, or a combination of all three I don't know. But I do know I always felt such relief as soon as that mask came off my face. That is my experience. I can tolerate it for short periods when needed for work. Vacation is a completely different story. I have mentioned other reasons along the way. I'm not going into it again. This whole subject is tiring and people are pretty set in their thoughts. As for calling my post silly, you are entitled to your opinion. My opinion is that is how some on here have come across. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seville2Cabo Posted June 13, 2020 #187 Share Posted June 13, 2020 First they say that the homemade masks will not stop the virus as the RNA is too small for the “filter” effect. Now the issue is the mask will stop the flow of O2, which is a significantly smaller particle and a gas. I think you can find an “expert” to support any position you want. I have not worn a mask for more than 30 minutes (Costco), So don’t know how it would be for extended periods of time, but 30 minutes was no big deal. As far as masks stoping the virus, remember trees in the winter are 95% air, yet my golf ball never gets thru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Biker, and Germany, also is a direct neighbor of Belgium and there numbers are even lower, although I believe they might have been a bit more tightly closed down. The point is that people who read headlines on Yahoo, don’t bother to look at the actual statistics, and add the headlines into their talking point diatribes. Not to mention the distance between Stockholm and Brussels is less than 800 miles as the crow flies, or as calculated using the great circle method. jc Edited June 13, 2020 by xpcdoojk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also try to educate patients on why I think something and why someone else might think differently.
