    Caught up with our old neighbors today that I have been talking about since covid-19 began.  After talking to them I found out that within their immediate family everyone tested positive for antibodies but only the dad who was eventually hospitalized showed symptoms (wife and three kids did not).  So the dad is back to work but can only work a few hours from home (sales) before exhaustion sets in. 
    Again for everyone who thinks this is fake news or isn’t a big deal please take it seriously and use common sense.

    My sunglasses fog up when I wear a mask in warm weather. And it makes me somewhat uncomfortable. 

    Therefore, fuck the masks! Others’ll just have to deal with it. 

    add a little tissue to top of mask and they won't fog
    I was being sarcastic about not wearing one, but thank you for the tip! I’ll try it next time. 
    Tape. Add tape. Not regular tape though or your skin will hate you. And if you can find it Bausch&Lomb anti-fog XP actually works.

    Wait, wait - what is not regular tape?  Like masking or duct?

    Tissue sounds less pain-in-the-ass-y :lol:

    A band aid on the face is bad enough (I've had to wear them for a week or more after minor skin surgery), so tape on the face would be a REAL drag!

    I would love to see some kind of mask that can be form fitted around the nose and mouth but would stay clear of both while breathing (I guess if your gonna wear a mask, you're gonna have to breath!)  It's uncomfortable to have that cloth right on your mouth and nose while breathing in and out. And then add a little micro fan to keep the face cool.  Not asking too much, right?  haha! 
    Masks are tough on hot days!

    I thought I’d not be selfish and share this tip I read about, a jock strap worn over your nose and mouth will not fog your glasses because they’re made to absorb sweat and keep moisture away from your sensitive parts and if you need to insert tissue, then you don’t have to worry about being out of TP. Pretty genius. Plus, multiple strapping options for a snug fit. Report back Hedo, please?

    You won't have any fogging issues if you use H2M jock.  It'll be so tight you might cut off the blood circulation to your face though!

    Djokovic just tested positive. Lost a lot of respect from this guy in the last couple of months. Here are some pics of him last week. I would expect better from the top tennis player in the world.

    He has been a d!psh!t regarding the virus since day 1.  We aren't epidemiologists either but have common sense.  He has been Trumpian with regards to Covid.

    I hear ya! Yesterday, I saw a car with Texas plates. If you hit Seattle and drive North for 5 hours that's where I'm at!

    I can understand the fear of Banff residents who see US cars sightseeing. I am glad BC is limiting travel further Nortn for our Indigenous relatives.

    This reminds me of my very racist song against occupiers... it goes: "Tom, Tom, Tom  go back to where your from." It is the opposite of - Imagine there's no countries...

    This whole scamdemic is becoming embarrassing now...just waiting for the government to admit it
    Congrats. Sounds like no one close to you has died from it. 
    Obviously what do you think 
    Yup, 113,998 dead Americans thus far sounds like a scamdemic to me. 
    Turn off your TV
    Open your mind.

    Oh wait...
    Coming from someone who uses sexual connotations to attack people...I've taken screen shots of your disgusting comments 
    You perceived it as an attack.  Plus I love a juicy double entendre.

    I'm touched, though, that you took time time to save my post to your device.  To what end, :i_dunno:
    Why do you keep on using sexual references to attack me?...it's disgusting and vile
    You keep beating this dead horse, and it's discrediting you (not hedonist). The vast majority of us do not know what the hell you're talking about. The rest of us know you're incorrect in suggesting hedonist is doing anything disgusting or vile.

    Never seen someone act as much as "a beaten dog" like Giesecke in an interview I happened upon today.
