I’m with you on that completely. I choose to wear it on the off-chance I’m infected with the hopes that I don’t leave as much or any spit on any surfaces in my proximity. That’s really it. The only viruses a shemagh will stop are STDs, when you’re not getting laid because you’re wearing a shemagh.
Jokes aside, we are on the slipperiest slope of our lifetime, that’s for sure.
The virus is super contagious. They are trying to keep your zipcode’s cases at zero. Everywhere had zero cases initially, until they didn’t and then policy makers got asked why they failed to act aggressively in the beginning.
FWIW a buff or bandana works. Or you can take on a sewing project to kill some quarantine time.
IMO, I think all that is needed is basic social distancing, and not gathering in groups. And I think if that had been done from the beginning we wouldn’t have had to resort to all these very restrictive policies. But, I would rather be unnecessarily safe than sorry if being safe is only 1% more effort than I already put in. I have like 10+ buffs, balaclavas, and bandanas from skiing so it’s no problem to slap one on and head on out looking like ima rob a store.
Time will tell what worked and what was overkill. It’s erringbon the side of overkill for now. And, at least for me, that overkill is minimally invasive to my life.
Is that a cape or just the way your shirt is colored? If it is a cape, wear that. If it’s not, get one and wear it. A cape will make up for holes.
The low pressure vortex of air a cape creates kills viruses.
Maybe comparatively, but it can’t be that contagious since less than .2% of the population has tested positive and we waited too long to act (so I’m told anyway).
I have no doubt their intention is good.
Wife will kill me if I take up any more hobbies.
We don’t all ski my man. I don’t even know what a buff or balaclavas is, lol… I think we have one paper-thin bandana we used for a scarecrow last year (as a prop).
Time will tell indeed.
It’s a 3/4 sleeve shirt that’s multi colored, lol.
I was unaware of the scientific reason they are necessary, but I knew they worked. Thank you for the education.
Ah. Time to procure a cape.
It doesn’t matter whether bandannas and cloth masks are 50 or 80% effective in blocking out the droplets, it’s simply a matter of reducing probabilities of infection from one node in the network to another one.
If everyone wears some sort of mask that somewhat reduces the probability of contagion for adjacent nodes, then the cumulative effects of the network as a whole - network being a local community/county/city/whatever - are massive as you’re reducing the coefficient that multiplies the initial exponential curve of the contagion.
So while the measures may seem absurd to the individual, they make perfect sense on a larger scale.
A massively overpriced multipurpose piece of multicolored cloth to cover the face beneath the ski goggles that any self respecting skier owns, despite multiple cheaper and better alternatives existing.
How about we just make it illegal to talk while in public? You can’t spit if your mouth is shut.
Welcome to the most argumentative forum on the site! Haha.
I’m glad to know there hasn’t been a rush to the hospitals yet. We’re all going to get hit by a significant amount of pain with this pandemic. But I don’t want to see hospitals where you are to reach a status similar to Italy or New York City.
Good to know. My wife wants to get the whole family into skiing (no idea why she has never been) so I’ll make sure and get them so we look cool on the bunny hills.
The single best description I’ve ever heard of these worthless things
Just embrace the jeans and starter jacket look. Skiing is crazy expensive of you don’t do it A LOT and arent super into it (getting bro deals on equipment, lift tix, etc).
Where are you all getting buffs from!? They’re cheap AF. So cheap that they get handed out as swag at events all the time.
Nice and thin so your face is protected from sun, wind, snow, you can still breath through it and you don’t overheat, but still adds like 5-10 degrees of warmth when needed. Super nice to have in your bag. And as it turns out, useful in pandemics!
I don’t think governors anticipated needing to tell you to continue to wear pants…
Gonna have to disagree here. We are moving towards 650,000 cases in the US alone and only a few states haven’t hit over 500. In a short amount of time, with very limited testing, and unprecedented measures to avoid infection the thing still shot around the world like wildfire.
We have evidence of false negatives. We will never have anything better than a pretty poor ass idea of how many people died from this or were infected initially. But the things definitely highly contagious.

Just follow these directions and Coronavirus won’t be able to get you.
To quote a passage from the greatest speech of all time:
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second.
On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch, because we know when we add up all those inches that’s gonna make the fuckin’ difference between winning and losing! Between livin’ and dyin’!
650k is still less than .2% of the US population.
If coronavirus was transmitted via fart I’m sure he’d of issued an EO on pants. Probably have to wear diapers or those charcoal underwear they sell on late night infomercials.
But between 4 and 5% of those will die! Just wear a head condom and do your part.

How you can call others trolls is funny given the nonsensical posts you make and your utter failure at humor. And somehow, you always manage to make some reference to women regardless of how irrelevant it is to the topic. Tell us, how do you really feel about women? You claim to be married but post like an incel.
