Yes, I know. Because you would have never taken issue with it, at least not publicly. I think the real question here is which you care about the most: Stopping the spread of harmful covid misinformation, or getting Erjen banned. The former. Then report his posts to ProBoards and get my decision overturned.

If like someone sneezing or breathing on you (as long as the person is not carrying any pestilence), go for it. But you don't know who is and who isn't carrying any pestilence, so when you say you "don't want to be breathed on or coughed on under any circumstances, whether someone has a cold or not," you are erring on the side of caution. Good on you, but you should do the same with masks and just wear one without all the fanfare. Even if we were under sterile conditions....like the most antiseptic level of Wildfire in that movie "The Andromeda Strain"......I still wouldn't like anyone breathing on me. It's annoying. Maybe you wouldn't mind, but I'm just funny that way. If you're standing close enough to breathe on me, you're standing too close. And you'll be happy to know that Kay Ivey just signed the mask requirement into law statewide, effective 5 pm tomorrow.

I am indeed happy to know that, but I can't say I'm pleased with the reason for it. Besides, I think just wearing a mask isn't enough, and no one is really talking about frequent hand-washing and not touching your face anymore... youtu.be/I5-dI74zxPgWould you say the results of Rober's experiment supports your claims about how viruses spread?

But here's the thing: A good chunk of that virus lying around waiting to be picked up was coughed, sneezed, snorted, or even simply breathed out from noses and mouths that were not covered.

And your chances of breathing it in are very small, unless someone who lacks manners is breathing directly in your face.

There's just no reasonable argument against wearing a mask during a pandemic. Nobody likes it.

The later "new" covid-19 cases were not being matched by a proportionate increase in deaths. That suggest the data is being politicized. It suggests that to the delusional, conspiracy addicted, and willfully ignorant. It has been widely explained how the death rate is a lagging indicator of the progress of the disease: Fatalities lag behind cases because COVID-19 is a rather slow-going illness. It takes time to develop an infection severe enough to require hospitalization. It can take longer still for an acute infection to result in death. Add in that deaths aren't always reported in a timely manner, and you see why fatalities are slow to rise and fall. Note that at the moment, the U.S. is less than a month into a sustained increase in cases.www.newsday.com/opinion/coronavirus/covid-19-coronavirus-death-rate-toll-america-infections-1.46492118And, as forecast, the death rate is now on the rise again: The rising numbers are significant because they come after some observers, like President Donald Trump, downplayed record numbers of new daily coronavirus infections while the national mortality rate remained low in recent weeks. But health experts warned that the surge in cases would likely be followed by a significant increase in deaths.www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2020-07-09/coronavirus-deaths-increasing-in-states-with-resurgences The increase in the number of cases is still after all this time not leading to deaths at previous rates. It is not proof, but it suggests one of countless factors is changing or amiss. More significantly the increase in cases is out of proportion to the "failures" to observe social distancing. It is not proof of course, but it suggests there are other problems. I'm not drawing any conclusions, not even trying. I do not for example point to increases in cases and assume that means people are not following guidelines in such numbers. I think it is unfair for "science" to blame "the people" for its own ignorance. By the way, is there someone who has ever been right about anything else who agrees with you?

I'm sure Trump appreciates your support. As far as I know Fauci and Trump are not the same, while the former has recently been (somewhat) critical of his boss, calling his words about the virus "unfortunate". As usual the question must be, who does one give the most credence to: one of America's leading medical scientists or a guy who used to work in Parks and Recreation, and who thinks Darwin contributed nothing to science? Your faith in your own ability to make choices about who is qualified would make a fundamentalist blush.

It's also me correcting a religious nutcase and pointing out how far he/she is removed from reality! Which is fine, but when you report it, what do you expect or hope to happen? My hope is that the person is dealt with in a manner that is consistent when someone spreads fake news like that. I have no issues with how you handle things; Occaisionally I have crossed the line and have been dealt with fairly.

To remove a post or ban a poster - temporarily or permanently, is a decision that I leave to you to make. Others have told you how to do your job, but I won't.

I didn't ask you to tell me how to do my "job." If the decision is to remove the post, any post that quoted it also has to be removed. Tell me, L7, would you have quoted it (ie, reposted it) if it was porn? And if you did, should you be banned as well?

Any posts or reposts would have to be removed. On second thought I rather enjoy porn. Nah, I know it's not allowed.
