Opps, ...bad news for mask wearers...

[Willa]

As a nurse in the 60s-80s I practiced both protective isolation and other types of isolation.  We wore masks, gloves, gowns, and practiced scrubbing our hands.  In microbiology we learned that alcohol sanitized but not well.  Scrubbing our hands together for several minutes did more good than alcohol unless it soaked for many minutes. 

The hospitals in our area that had the best reputations for lack of infections following hospital stays were the ones that put the most emphasis on good hand washing--3 minute or 5 minuet scrubs.  

The mask that I use is the industrial type with two hepa filters, testing and 99+ instead of the 95 that is required.  I use it for smoke when we are in forest fire season.  It seals around my face so that it sucks in when I inhale yet it is easy to breathe while I wear it.  The normal mask does not seal around the face and needs to be replaced if you or anyone in the room coughs or sneezes because it is deemed ineffective afterwards.  Liquid droplets transmit microbes.  

Jesus practiced the folk remedies of His day ( putting mud in the eye for blindness and washing in rivers) and also healed by His own power in obedience to Father.  I also use man's methods as well as depending on God to keep me safe and to heal.

You brought up a point that refreshed my memory. I retired from a large VA Medical Facility, employee sickness was much higher than the average. Being in maintenance, I was in isolation rooms, surgical suites, patient rooms, cramped elevators, waiting areas and everywhere all the time. Who goes to hospitals? Sick people and all congregated and huddled together in waiting rooms, reception areas and elevators. 

Everyone from the desk receptionist to the doctor's are at much greater risk of contacting what ever is going around. In a confined building with everyone touching everything from banisters to elevator buttons, from chairs to pens. It's extremely difficult not to be exposed to an airborne / contact virus. Hospital workers and healthcare providers [God bless them] are in the line of fire.

Hospitals must be taking extreme precautions and it must be working; as I've not heard of any medical facilities being extremely impacted with employees catching this virus?

As an experienced Surgical Technology person (virus and microbes), I can tell you without a doubt, that even an idiot can avoid corona or any other virus by simple means. It's not as complicated as some would have you believe. Hype is just that, hype. Just like any other virus, avoid it physically like anything else. Review basic chemistry and above all, secure your faith in Jesus. Dear God, who do you believe in? People are destroyed for lack of knowledge indeed.

Jesus is greater than corona virus, aids, ebola, and everything as well as anything. Believe it or not. It's your choice and your consequence. Simple.

Hmmmm. Let us consider. Would Jesus wear a mask? Be real folks, please. Shalom.

Since he told u to follow what those in charge are telling us what to do, yes he would have worn a mask.... as for as faith goes, when the devil asked him to jump off the top of the temple knowing "God" would not let him be hurt, he told the devil we are not to test God.  This is no different in putting ourselves in harms way and expecting God to keep us safe....   Are you saying we should do what Jesus himself would not do.

All these different articles are about 3 weeks old...the result of a very hasty search.  It's a thing...and a thing no annual flu has ever produced.   One reason we really don't want to see the medical system overwhelmed ....and certainly should fire very CDC official in the top three layers of decision making for allowing this situation of critical shortages of protective gear to go unaddressed.  It's a thing.....and young doctors and nurses are dying because they're physically exhausted and run down when they catch it....due to overwhelming workloads for weeks on end now in the places where systems are overwhelmed.

Those not currently overwhelmed will be soon enough if our managers (we don't have any leaders) don't start making some wiser choices real soon.

You don't understand scripture do you? It's okay. May God reveal truth to you. You obviously believe fear is greater than God, Himself. No worries, you will get it one day. Shalom.

I hope you someday get over being full of yourself....

I will never be full of YOU is for sure. You don't even know the Word of God. The devil only knew part of it as well. Simple. Shalom;
