I wear my mask to and from my car and will take it off when I’m driving. I wear it to go to the dumpster and also will put it on after I order something from the drive through.

I have another mask that my mom made me that I wear when opening the mail or cleaning as she added a filter into it.

As an asthmatic, I can only wear a mask for 15 minutes before it starts to impact my breathing and make me dizzy. I could never walk or run wearing one.

as for masks. for work they gave us 5 to use. one for each day of the week that we have to brown bag after the day. tben use it again the next week.

i avoid all crowds so i havent used a mask when ive been home.

i havent been using one while in the dunkin donuts drive thru. but if i go to the trails now i do wear one as its become so crowded.


I sooooo miss being able to walk trails. May be the one thing I miss the most second only to not being able to see my mom.

Coming out of a failed impeachment into this horror show I'm quite surprised he isn't already wearing a sweater with extra long sleeves and buttons in the back.

I wish this would happen. This afternoon he is tweeting about the "Noble" prizes for journalists and bragging about staying up late and eating junk food. There is a pandemic going on and he is spouting garbage once again. He is not a leader and doesn't seem to know what is happening in the real world. He cannot handle this dire situation by any means. I look at New Zealand and how well they are handling the pandemic, I look at the US and see the utter chaos that is going to cost so many lives. The president needs to lead by example, give the people hope, let the medical experts give the facts and stop with the utter nonsense that some blind followers are going to take his word for.

i'm certainly on the high end of the spectrum for "protective behavior", but spending a little
more time cleaning stuff and being overly cautious doesn't hurt. just means a little extra time,
which we seem to have in spades. i had to get to the supermarket this week for things that
aren't available online - was in an aisle and saw a lady heading toward me, i kept eye contact
and backpedaled/head on a swivel until she looks at me, waves her hand like "you're being
ridiculous" and turns the other way. some people will never get it.

My wife and my father in law are both incredible germ-a-phobes to start with. You throw this on top, forget it. I'm pretty much the opposite of my wife. I believe in challenging your immune system to keep it healthy, but with this virus and how it impacts everyone differently, we're trying like mad to not even risk exposure.

We're lucky here, there is so much empty forested land. I hike and backpack with my son, and we've been exploring old logging roads, ATV trails, that sort of thing. We logged 16 km (about 10 miles) today, and saw 3 people.

Why Michael Savage is blasting Sean Hannity and the right-wing media on the coronavirus

Savage is far to the right himself but this is his background and he is trying to educate his base and Trumps base. However, that is not what they want to hear or believe because they aren’t bright enough, open-minded, or interested in science. They have turned their anger on one of their own to the point he’s closing down his Twitter account.

he went off on how Sean Hannity has what he feels given out very bad information. His base took to Twitter with viscious replies and attacks

With no small amount of self-satisfaction, Savage reminds people of his credentials — a Ph.D. and training in epidemiology — and of the fact that he was one of the few voices in conservative media who had warned them all along.

Michael Savage, my God what a horrible human being!

I envy you. I find peace and quiet in the woods.....and being able to do it with your son is special.
