I was told that my higher than normal blood pressure reading at the last checkup could very well be from wearing the mask due to my struggling for air. @Lazy Gardener ; I would have taken his mask off in a heartbeat if he was feeling faint from lack of "air". Yes, at their age they are at risk anyway, but that was way over the top.
I wear the mask at PT because they require it but I find myself struggling during exercises due to restricted air. In fact, often I will slip it below my nose so as to be able to get enough air to breathe. Do not wear it for most anything else even though it is "mandated" here in Va.
There isn't a mask to be seen at any of the dairies I milk test, and did not see any in evidence when I took the hog to the butcher that will cut it up and be curing the bacons and hams.
The number of "positives" goes up by leaps and bounds..... but they are not telling you how many recovering people there are. It sounds like all the 1,000's that are reported every day will all succumb to this virus, with no survivors.
The whole thing is getting out of hand and I dare them to pay this much attention to the rate of flu infections and hospitalizations this fall/winter.
Yes it is serious, and yes it hit us hard and with a vengeance.... yes we lost many people. The overall average, across the country, is 45% deaths are in nursing homes/residential care facilities. But no one is talking of the numbers of recoveries, no one is talking about the percentages of those that are confirmed positive that are retests..... and even with the supposed "short life" of anti-bodies.... how many 1,000's have gotten over it. People who have the flu aren't guaranteed to be immune for the rest of their life. People who get a cold....CORONA VIRUS FAMILY.... aren't guaranteed to not get another cold for 3 months or 6 months or a year. You have to take precautions, and you have to try to get your body better equipped to handle these things; by building your immune system up. Even older people can do things to help and being cautious is one of them. If we continue down this road, we are never going to open up this country and we are going to destroy our economy and from there it is a total downhill spiral.... because people won't have jobs, they won't have food, they won't have access to medical care, there will be more and more chaos, and it will become a police state that is run by and controlled by the ones in power and we will be unable to make any decisions for ourselves.
We cannot live in a bubble, and we have got to get out and use some common sense and get on with our lives and continue to expose ourselves to germs and viruses and bugs and such to get our immune systems to function properly.

good luck finding that anywhere, the few left online are at insane prices
