I would feel relatively safe in a surgical mask and face shield in ordinary circumstances. Does your wife work directly with known positives?
no, they just temp check and ask the symptom questions...then patient wears a mask until they get in the chair to get mouth worked on

this state for the most part only tests if you have symptoms in the hospital and in total we have had less than 4K positive tests(some without symptoms) of over 4 million...So we have only had 1/1000th of our pop test positive and 99% of our very few deaths were people who had limited time left due to pre existing conditions

So finding a positive case here is very rare

Very few in this area/county...single digits at most

She is fine, just wants to help people...she has three jobs all in medical and health
She is very excited to return to work/normal, back to full time in two of her jobs this week.

I work alone and just run heavy equipment and power tools all day, so the only person I contact daily is her.

Thank you for your kind words, you are also in my thoughts and prayers
Stay positive in spirit my friend, stay strong

I didn't hit send or complete the booking but I went through the process of booking in for a restaurant in Napa an hour and a half away which I won't go to because too far. It was nice using the app to do it. I am gagging to go out for a glass of wine and someone cooking for us.

Well we got a death at my work now. Dude was in his early 50s. Cool cat. Would see me smoking when I stayed overtime on bshift and would say nothing. People are coming back to work sick as the company won't pay them. Funny because I thought we payed into the insurance for that. Couple of people I know caught it twice. Taking the day off. These fat fucks can go a day without a hamburger.

So someone posted both of these together? (I refuse to believe a surgeon posted that wearing masks causes hypercapnia.)

These are basically saying that a specialized (N95) mask can't stop the corona from passing through but can stop CO2. CO2 is a gas. It would take thousands of them to make the size of a covid virus particle.
People will try to find dirt on the evil masks, an attempt, to somehow demonize them, for whatever reason I can't think of.

Congratulations on your impending one hundred thousandth official coronavirus death (likely actual deaths being about 150,000), America. You must be very proud.

USA! USA! USA!
