Data Report

"A picture is worth a thousand words" is an adage in multiple languages meaning that complex and sometimes multiple ideas can be conveyed by a single still image, which conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a mere verbal description.

In this thread I like to use pictures or photos to make a statement.

For example I found this photo of school children from the CDC site.
https://www.cdc.gov/orr/school-preparedness/infection-prevention/actions.html

... is it enough to encourage children to wash hands together and sneeze into the crevice of inner elbows to avoid spreading diseases on a mass level at schools? A couple of USA states are experiencing tuberculosis while many schools are suffering closedowns due to several viruses circulating.

How is this picture that the CDC has on their site any different from what we used to do in pre pandemic days? If one of these children is sick is washing hands enough to prevent an airborne disease? To me this is just a picture of kids washing hands together with face against wall and I don't see safety precautions taking place any different than when I was I kid in school before outbreaks became a problem.

How about CDC suggesting kids wear masks for airborne diseases when in such close proximity in bathroom together while outbreaks are occurring nationwide? (Feb 6, 2024) Why is there an omission of the mask and its importance in the CDC link?


Feel free to post photos and what you feel is wrong with the photos you might find or see during these challenging times of airborne viruses & diseases.

... see what I mean.Doctors are reporting
A really bad flu season:

A picture is worth a thousand words and germs as well..

"doctors report large number of illnesses in Massachusetts"

and looking at these maskless healthcare people I can't help but think this is stupid.. wear your masks healthcare! Airborne germs are your occupational hazard so use safety mask to prevent spread of airborne diseases... you think I want that maskless nurse touching my loved one after that maskless guy in a beard just coughed sneezed or blew his nose in the crevice of his dirty arm and sweater!?

Is that nurse or doctor diagnosing this patient? Maybe he has tuberculosis , covid ..who knows!? Maskless people in healthcare are asking for it and they are a liability according to the picture of things. This nurse or doctor is clearly exposing themselves to a mystery illness right on television and in front of a camera person.

So if some farmer comes into waiting room hacking and coughing and he's got bird flu because he works with poultry or cattle isn't diagnosed or maybe he's got a new strain of covid, or Tuberculosis  yet the public shouldn't be concerned nor would we be concerned about the maskless nurse or maskless doctor in this picture given what we know from the electron microscope that proved airborne germs stay in the air for hours?

I mean I have news for these maskless people: The reality is that coughing and sneezing can often be involuntary spasms and there is nothing to prevent that guy from accidentally having coughing fit right in that nurse or doctor's face not only that but coughing into crevice of arm is simply somebody said do if you are out in public without a Kleenex.. this is gross; a guy clearly sick and a doctor or nurse completely exposing themselves to whatever he has got of which is probably as of yet diagnosed. Its dangerous for all people who have contact with these maskless healthcare people. Its dangerous to be under the same roof with sick contagious people.

Healthcare,
So Ive heard you aren't supposed to go up to a bird that might have bird flu right? If I do have to go in my yard and there's a dead bird or something I should mask right? But yet its okay for you healthcare workers to go maskless around people that have yet to be diagnosed illnesses and diseases and possibly even have bird flu in your presence and profession where it is typical for people to arrive with airborne diseases and airborne illnesses? 

Do they study this in medical school!?:
"Aerosols (in laymen's terms  are 'tiny germs')
Within and beyond
1 meter
Can float in air for hours
Can be inhaled
• <5 um
• 5-100 um"
Aerosols are a suspension of solid or liquid particles in a gas, with particle size from 0.001 to over 100 μm. Infectious aerosols contain pathogens. A droplet nucleus is the airborne residue of a potentially infectious (micro-organism-bearing) aerosol from which most of the liquid has evaporated".


Study the "look at why we Mask jpeg" attached below at very end of this reply ... I didn't make this study up and its widely accepted as real.


So I look at the photo above and diagram below back and forth, then I read the specs of the aerosols, then I think okay that bearded guy is coughing in the crevice of his inner elbow of his sweater and he's apparently sick.. The nurse or doctor is totally exposed to the aerosol he probably coughs out several times per hour.. I mean is it realistic to think somehow he can trap all the aerosols into the crevice of his inner arm and that somehow his sweater traps all the force and velocity of the tiny germs shooting out.. NO! that's not realistic!! You don't wanna trust your patients lives to the ability of a guy who is sick to trap all the aerosols shooting out whenever he coughs or even laughs uses deep breath into his arm when everybody could just wear masks! Get with the program people! Protect yourselves and one another with n95 mask around airborne diseases and airborne illnesses.. The photo above is clearly showing a dangerous situation that could possibly be preventable.

When one looks at this photo of the maskless nurse or maskless doctor with this maskless patient sneezing or coughing one must ask is this freedom not to mask? Where is the freedom here? To be maskless is freedom to get sick and pass that illness into others freely. True freedom is a mask in that the masks protects you and those around you freeing you from getting and worrying about getting and passing illnesses and diseases.

As one looks at this picture of a maskless doctor or maskless nurse either diagnosing or treating a maskless guy coughing or sneezing openly in a healthcare establishment we must ask ourselves is this a safe place for an older person, a person seeking care that is already sick, an immunocompromised person , an at risk person or just a healthy person.

When we get poked by something we must show a reaction.. we must wiggle and bite back .. we are being too nice & too calm in the face of these viruses... we must take charge get passionate about surviving and defending one another and defend ourselves with masks against these microscopic entities. Isn’t healthcare, namely a safe healthcare establishment something that every walk of life deserved especially since the large population of these patients are older and at risk and in what we might term a health- compromised  position or weakened state upon entering such a premises/establishments?

Here’s a healthy ‘Maskie’ (as opposed to the vain ‘selfie’) I wear a respirator style mask with cartridges designed to filter out airborne diseases and harmful particles under my bandanna.

It’s me the Masked Man with his loved on who is a healthy vivacious 79 years! Just us on our little dirty back porch enjoying being outdoors safe. We used to feed the birds but we don’t anymore because of (bird flu) we still watch birds though as they are still around.. we also have  three wild feral cats that live under the back porch (“black mamma cat”, “Boots”& “Bootsie” so we feed them and not the birds. We also have two indoor cats (“Tigger” & “Socks” kin to “Boots”) and A chihuahua dog (named “Scamp”)

We choose to wear masks and still enjoy life probably more and more safely than the maskless. We haven’t caught cold, covid pneumonia or anything in five years . Think about it it: she nor I have not caught a cold or even the flu since she was 73 years old and she’s 79 now…

...We protect one another and we wear masks. We are beautiful and highly intelligent. We live life to the fullest! We aren’t deprived whatsoever we eat whatever we want, we exercise little by dancing, we play musical instruments together we do whatever we want for the most part. We just wear masks outside the house to be on the safe side..we don’t go anywhere and we socialize online but that just seems healthy … I really can’t think of anything wrong with us masked ones   [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Best wishes,
The Masked Man

P.S. we sit on our back porch with other critters just as happy as can be and healthy enough on our back porch I ask the healthcare profession, neighbors, and the world surely you too can mask for us!?

I don't understand people not willing to wear masks especially in the healthcare profession .. I am not about to get or give a 79 year old covid or the flu... I against suffering and possible death. I love life and lack of suffering so I choose to mask. I don't understand maskless healthcare people at all. I trained myself to wear mask and I am healthy and happy enough  and so is my loved one..

...read about airborne diseases. I don't want an airborne disease or illness so I trained myself to wear mask. I do know that the mask hasn't hurt me in five years. I don't test it amongst the maskless very often at all so I can't say one-way masking is foolproof but I do know for me the mask hasn't harmed me and I have the skills to be around a sick person and care for a sick or ailing person if I chose to because of my mask.

I suggest healthcare learn to read about airborne diseases and learn to use their brains as well as masks when exposing themselves and their patients to covid, the flu, measles, pneumonia, bronchitis, whooping cough  etc. It is healthcare's mission to protect all age groups and people from these viruses and illnesses and masking is a tool of the trade and the tool of their profession so use it!   

Wearing a mask is empowering. You can do a lot more in a mask than a maskless dude that's for sure. The mask makes you impervious to harmful particles..its an incredible skill I can go where the maskless can't. The Masked Man can go places a maskless Whoopi Goldberg or even a maskless pope protected by the almighty dare not enter without getting sick.

I’ll tell you straight up our family doctor wouldn’t even put on a mask for this beautiful masked woman you see pictured… they don’t care if she dies that’s why we mask outside our homes … neighbors and people are disrespectful so we mask before they get the jump on us . We didn’t see her maskless doctor because evidentially he wouldn’t mask for us.  The masked nurse practitioner we did see admitted to us the maskless doctor had lost many patients to covid. When we got home from that horrible doctors office We washed our bodies and our clothes and didn’t take our masks off till we got home .. that was scary and it’s insult for a doctor not to mask for immunocompromised or at risk patients in my experience.

The picture you see of the couple up above haven't caught covid or any airborne illnesses or diseases in the past five years and that mask they are wearing is a handy form self defense against pesky illnesses and viruses that can really do number on ya and even kill ya. I highly recommend the mask!
