    Hey,The flu has almost been whipped out in 2020 Thanks to the vaccine that's been out for the last 78 years...and masks

    Too funny, CDC says that the flu is almost non existent due to social distancing and masks; they also say that covid19 is rampant because people don't keep distance or wear masks. W T F.

    General Policies

    Costco policy prohibits firearms to be brought into the warehouse, except in the case of authorized law enforcement officers.

    I didn’t see a no concealed carry permit sign at the entrance. How do we know what their policy is? Was it in the membership package?

    I didn't read the membership package when I joined but here is what they have online. I'm guessing it in the paper work too.

    Well there you have it... Costco policy prohibits firearms to be brought into the warehouse, except in the case of authorized law enforcement officers.

    It means they are now 100% liable for you're safety against firearm violence,I feel safer already.

    Covid 19 spreads more easily than the Flu. Different viruses will spread differently.
    I remember seeing this first hand in microbiology class. We took turns looking at a variety of weak viruses on different slides. Some of them moved slowly while others moved very aggressively. There was one that moved around the slide like a slinky in a very creepy fashion.

    I think we will discover most masks are not very effective. They may increase other risk factors at the expense of spreading less virus that in most environments will die quickly. I believe social distancing and sanitization is the most effective.

    Please explain what other risk factors may be increased by wearing a mask. And if it's not too much trouble, please also list the reputable source of that information.

    attached are photos of the mask i'm expected to wear at work , would you put this on your face and breath ? Notice where it is made (China). Not trying to start an argument ! just saying there are two sides to everything. Some people can wear a mask and some have difficulty.

    The one article mentions lowering oxygen in the blood while wearing a mask. My sister felt like she couldn’t breathe with one on and swore it was restricting her oxygen. She did a test using a meter with and without mask and her oxygen levels actually went up. Maybe it’s a fluke but I doubt doctors would subject themselves to the aggravation and “risk” of wearing a mask if they didn’t believe it.

    A study in Singapore in 2014 said the masks lowered the oxygen level in the blood. There are plenty of 2020 studies that indicate the opposite to be true.

    BTW, Technocracy is a activist website. I'm not saying they can't release accurate information but they have an agenda.
    https://www.technocracy.news/donate-b/

    "When a person has TB we have them wear a mask, not the entire community of non-infected."

    The above quote is from the first article. While that is true, what would you do if you had to interact with them and they refuse to wear a mask? Might you wear one to protect yourself?

    I guess im a sheeple. I have to mask up for work. I don't wear it otherwise unless it makes people uncomfortable around me. I try to respect the feelings of others until some asswipe mask Nazi tells me to wear it. Then I refuse to put it on just to let them know that im not gonna be bullied into conforming. Ask and you shall receive. Order and you will be more worried about getting your ass handed to you for being a jerk. Faucci lost me when he refused to condemn the antifa rioters that weren't wearing mask. Its gotta be all or none. No double standards.

    Having been in health all my life, and had somewhat studied and read about the influenza pandemic of 1918, and learned that mask wearing where it was required and vigorously enforced resulted in far fewer cases and deaths than more "liberal" areas. I also spent ten years active in the USAF and 7 in reserves, we had to train in gas masks and those things make these little surgical or cloth masks look like nothing. At times it took a lot of will power just to sit there and will yourself to breathe in one of those things, they took some getting used to. That has been a lot of years ago and there is no way that I will deny that wearing a mask is uncomfortable. My viewpoint is to respect every one else and for them to respect me and my health concerns. The way I see it is that if you wear one and I wear one whe have a double layer of protection. I did get my first covid vaccination this morning also. Firm believer in vaccinations, Was in USAF starting back in 68, then overseas in 72, had to get things like plague, yellow fever, cholera. I also think more employers should make vaccinations mandatory as a condition of employment

    I just saw where one of the newly elected congressmen from La died of covid at age 41, this stuff is not to be taken lightly.

    The 9 year old does that as well. He tries to not do something he might otherwise do simply because he doesn't want to do what he's told to do. The 13 year old will do that on occasion but she's a little more mature than the 9 year old so and she's not as defiant. At least not in that area.
