       A picture is worth a thousand words (Post pictures or photos her
       e that prove a point)

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       "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.
  HTML 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.

       Here's another example of powerful photo
       one man refusing to salute in a crowd... a true individual hero
       refusing to be like the others ..refusing to join in herdlike
       behavior!
       ... I can't find it right now but somewhere I have a photo  of a
       long line of people in India standing in line together all sick
       with covid or looking like they might get sick. In the photo,
       All but one young fellow had a respirator like mask just like
       me! and he looked very relaxed and healthy while all the other
       people looked sick or very vulnerable.. anyway in a weird way
       this photo of the one guy not giving a nazi salute reminds me of
       courage and strength.
       This photo of this guy not giving nazi salute inspires me to
       break from the pack when necessary and do what one's inner
       convictions tell one to do.. to dare to be different ,to stand
       stand apart from the herd , avoid peer pressure and mask up! :)
       The Masked Man
       P.S. Feel free free to post pictures or photos here in this
       thread that mean something to ya or prove a point or that make a
       statement for you.

       ... 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 &#956;m. 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 is it is another picture worth a thousand words.. a
       thousand bad words... This is crazy because this article is
       about measles and how its is one of th most contagious diseases
       in the world and that it even lingers in the air for two hours
       and then there's this picture of a maskless gloveless doctor in
       a Hawaiian shirt(obviously on vacation) handling a child  in his
       office exposing it to airborne diseases..
       ... see what I'm saying these pictures of healthcare facilities
       only go to show healthcare facilities and doctors aren't
       protecting themselves or their patients whatsoever of catching
       these viruses.  Watch the article this picture goes along with
       to learn all about how contagious measles are:
       LINK:
  HTML https://abcnews.go.com/Health/texas-measles-cases-latest/story?id=119663844
       Granted that maybe this is a doctor giving a kid a vaccine but
       they are posting this picture as the cover with the measles news
       story, never the less, is this not the perfect environment  to
       infect a baby with a disease!? Let some maskless gloveless guy
       get into your kid's face who's been around babies all day in a
       healthcare facility where babies might already be sick with a
       variety of airborne diseases !? This is picture of healthcare's
       failure to take precautions such as masks and gloves...
       ... its outrageous ..maskless doctors in Hawaiian shirt touching
       kids and getting in their faces administering intravenous shots
       in a place where people often get treated for a multitude of
       problems including airborne diseases and contagious illnesses.
       To see a maskless doctor even pictured with a patient or baby
       just seems illegal and nuts considering all the facts about the
       contagiousness and seriousness of these illnesses and diseases.
       Doctors and nurses and healthcare practitioners don't even
       breathe on me or my loved ones ...I'm sorry but don't touch on
       babies without a mask and gloves in these facilities if you know
       anything! Babies aren’t afraid of people in masks.. that’s a
       learned fear. Furthermore learn to read: Many airborne viruses
       if not all of them linger in the air so protect your patients
       from one another in these rooms!
       Life is precious,
       The Masked Man
       P.S. By the way, the general recommendations are... "All
       children should be vaccinated against measles. The vaccine is
       safe, effective and inexpensive. Children should receive two
       doses of the vaccine to ensure they are immune. The first dose
       is usually given at 9 months of age in countries where measles
       is common and 12–15 months in other countries.Nov 14, 2024"
       ... nevertheless Masked man knows  people should still take
       precautions for all airborne diseases such as covid etc. while
       in healthcare facilities... why risk anything like covid while
       in close proximity and contact with those that handle airborne
       diseases such as those that seek care and work in healthcare!?
       Okay so everybody needs to wear masks around infants … but
       infants aren’t really recommended to wear masks…let’s touch upon
       this “these germs get onto a person's face, they can easily be
       rubbed into the mouth, nose or eyes and spread infection to
       other parts of the body. You should never use a mask on a child
       under the age of 2 years. It is harder for people to breathe
       with something covering the nose and mouth.”
       So what we do? Well doctors we go outside the office for
       infants… we can’t allow infants under two to enter an enclosed
       place that might have airborne diseases linger for therefore
       doctors must simply improvise and either themselves go outside
       their office to the patients vehicle or outside to treat such
       special patients .. infants are a small population of patients
       with special needs that can’t protect themselves with masks
       therefore special provisions must take place to either make
       house calls with special mobile nurse practitioners or visit
       vehicles or go outside to treat those who can’t wear masks.. if
       that’s what the job requires to treat the special patient then
       that must happen for the sake of small infant patients who can’t
       wear masks.. that’s only fair … the patient always comes first.
       We must set up such special provisions that cater to the patient
       for the sake of the patient with special needs if we are to
       follow the Hippocrates oath.
       It is breach of reasoning and ludicrious to say or combine the
       following statements: "hey everybody we are doctors and treat
       airborne diseases on a regular basis.. electron microscopes have
       proved these airborne illnesses and diseases linger in the air
       for hours and we don't believe in or wear masks or supply others
       with masks ...come on in and suck in the air around you and
       measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world...
       here I am in my Hawaiian shirt, no mask , no gloves without
       another innocent helpless infant in a healthcare facility
       getting my picture taken"!
       To further add insult to injury there's obviously no doubt a
       cameraman and some reporter who probably just ate a company
       lunch downtown in a crowded cafe and now is  in the healthcare
       facility room which is simply exposing the baby to more airborne
       diseases. My dad was in tv and radio so I know how much space
       these camera crews and reporters take and I know how they behave
       when filming people. Basically there is a cameraman crouching
       within arms reach of that kid waist high to get that shot. These
       people pictured including the (not pictured) cameraman  don't
       care about the baby getting exposed to their possible germs or
       viruses that's for sure.

       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 :)  [attachimg=1]
       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. ;D
       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!  :)
