    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                          How many times does it need repeating? The mask is to stop you infecting other people, not to stop you getting it.

                          I was only joking

                            I think at least one more time. LOL

                            However, I do believe that wearing a mask is in teh right direction to prevent you from getting it also. Not 100% effective in any way, but maybe it is 5% (or 10%), etc. I think of it kind of like having a screen on your windows. Will it stop every bug? No, but it will stop some. Not perfect, but in the right direction.

                              But the benefits go both ways. "We know now there's scientific evidence that masks both keep you from infecting others but may also partially protect you from getting infected," said Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator. "I think that's a new discovery and a new finding."

                                    I'll bet that Karen thinks she's too cool to be a Karen.

                                    Education is extremely important.
