Depending on the season, I talking about regular summer or winter blend diesel. You know, the kind you run in heavy equipment

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

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.

cnn, indisputable

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.

[jon-nyc]

When you say she’s a ‘Karen’ what do you mean by that?
