    Haven’t you heard masks cause Legionnaire’s and assault your naturally built immunity.
    My favorite was that wearing masks makes you breath in your own carbon monoxide. Uh. I think if humans breathed out carbon monoxide, we would all be dead anyway.
    It's kind of analogous to "I actually drive better drunk, because I'm more careful."  Both are huge stretches meant to rationalize bad behavior.

    People in Ontario are waiting up to 6 hours to get tested...

    Fucking ridiculous.  Wait until November and beyond...Ontario gets cold.  

    No fucking way I wait 6 hours.  I’ll stay home for 2 weeks.

    I have no idea how testing is here for others, but my work encourages us to get tested every 2 weeks. Its a drive up, no wait, stick my head out the window and get my results about a day and half later. My employer covers the cost of the test.

    The test I just took was a drive up. They have you blow your nose and then sterilize your hands with sanitizer.  They give you a qtip to put up your nose and twist three times in one nostril, wait 15 seconds put it in the other nostril repeat. Place qtip in the test tube that they hold out and supposedly get results in 48 hrs...I haven’t heard of this method

    That’s what I thought too I was very surprised that it was a self administered test that you hand off to what basically appeared to be volunteers...maybe some of our healthcare professional friends will shed a light on this

    I noticed the CDC in the States updated their information to state breathing air is a means of transmission, finally. I bought an air purifuer because it has been on my list for a while when it's smoky and because they recommended it. 

    Really, I would be better to change some of my choices to lower risks, but why not?

    Yes to this meme.   Trump guy today said that now that the cdc says the virus is airborne it proves him right about masks being stupid.  He also said only the old and at risk will die and that the death rate is very low for under 55 and if the US would just quarantine old people we would all be fine, but the masks make it worse and lead to more elderly and preexisting condition deaths.   What a world...

    Crazy.  Oh and today on an unrelated note Trump coworker was talking about Hannibal Lecter as if he wasn’t a fictional character.  I’m like dude that’s a fictional character and he’s like no there really was a Hannibal lecter.   Well no wonder he is a science denier
