Didn't know about the water, but its a point to be considered.

News media and government puppets don't generally promulgate the fact that the COVID-19 virus is .03 microns in size.  That's exactly the same as tobacco smoke.  If you can blow smoke through your home made mask, then it won't protect you from the virus.  It won't protect the general public from any infection you may be carrying either.

On the other hand, the major effort of the media is to blow smoke at us 365/24/7.

Social distancing and self-quarantine is still the best way to restrict the virus.

that's me, hollering from the choir loft....

it is indeed. your n95 masks will generally work. Most of your home made masks are at best, 60% effective, and thats being generous, and thats according to the CDC. Now, if it makes someone feel better to wear one, have at it, but I myself feel no need. I even have n95 masks in my home that I don't use.

You talk as if it is wrong to use common sense. 

May I humbly ask, ...when Father has told you to, in faith, ...step out and do something, ...did you use "common sense," ...or did your "common sense" tell you and your friends "common sense" tell you it was impossible? 

Did Peter use his "common sense" when he stepped out of the boat onto the raging sea, ...or the man with the withered arm use his "common sense" when  Jesus told him to raise it, ...or any of the other healings and miracles Jesus performed, ...did they make "common sense? 

Yes, God gave us common sense, ...but "common sense" never supersedes what we have been told to do by God in faith, ...in fact common sense "kills" faith!

May I ask, ...do you believe in faith what Father has promised you personally in John 3:16?

If/since you do, ...then why don't you believe what He promised you personally in Psalms 91?

Yes, ...sometimes we use our "common sense," in worldly affairs and matters, ...but we are citizens of Heaven, ...ambassadors of God's Heavenly Kingdom, ...receiving instructions from God about what we are to do while on this planet, ...but our walk with God, while on this planet, ...is by faith, ...the just live by faith, ...Father told us and promised us in Psalms 91 would be protected from the Covid 19 virus, ...why not ask Him personally if it is true, ...rather than try and cast doubt on my walk of faith and possibly be responsible for "stumbling" others in their walk of faith?

Here's a loving reminder from a brother that is concerned for the best things in your life from our Father...

 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)   2 Cor 5:7

Also beloved, ...the point of the three temptations was Jesus "didn't" use His common sense, ...the lesson for us to learn is, ...Jesus defeated the devil as a man, ...not using His supernatural powers as God, to show us, we too, ...as mortal man, ...can defeat the most powerful and intelligent being God created, ...as mere mortal man "using" the Word of God.

Please, think about it, ...isn't that what this pandemic all about, ...using the Word of God?

May Father bless you and keep you

Just a question..what do you mean by,understand scripture.

secondly,..I " now" have the faith to believe,I won't catch the coronavirus ....isn't our walk with God,about believing and trusting him........for me that didn't work overnight....it takes time to build that trust......

for instance,last year,I wouldn't of had the faith that I have today.....who increased it?.........we are all learning and will do so,until the day we die,I believe.

thank you....

"We" were all put together with the first  of us to get the measles  so that each got the disease at the same time. The theory, and the practice, was it got the issue over with and done quickly while each  of us were still very young, and very strong.

 The way this present virus it is being fought, it will be the same battle, season after season, for a long long time, and the older each person gets the weaker their immune system tends to be. Better to fight it while young and strong may still be the better practice until a lifelong immunity  vaccine is developed and proven  out.

Dear beloved brother, ...have you not left "out" the God factor?

Since God promised us in Psalms 91 immunity, ...we can't infect others with the virus since we don't have it, ...now can we?

Lord bless and He is keeping you safe

   My cousin is a Born Again Believer,she lives in NY.....she didn't do anything foolish or walk around as if she was immune to Covid19 but still she simply stands on Gods Word & Trusts Him(Believing she would not get it)and she caught the virus,nearly died but did not(Praise Jesus) and now she's been donating her plasma......you don't know what God May use for His Glory.......

   I have no doubt that God Will use some to go out to do this & that and if that is What He Has Instructed you to do,do it.....Born Again Believers should be walking inS pirit & in Truth "in RELATIONSHIP" with our Heavenly Father in Christ..... Personally,I am lead to be right here & NOT to do the things I normally do

   So Brothers & Sisters,what God Has FOR YOU is for YOU,please stop telling people they are "wrong" for walking THEIR walk with God                                                      With love-in Christ<kwik

He is keeping you safe

My time of life, illness, accident, and death, in this flesh has been known and predestined too, all by God from before the beginning. While I do not tempt God, I do not also claim  I will not be sick  nor die. My hope that is certain in Christ Jesus is not in my health in this corruptible flesh, for to lose this flesh is but gain. The promise is that  this corruptible body  of flesh shall put on  an incorruptible  spiritual body. I have been safe, but not by my merit and not in this flesh. May it not be so that I must (forever) continue to suffer this flesh.

Maranatha.

and maybe it's according to whether it's all about me...and MY rights....or taking heed of the needs of others.  I will wear a mask, not because I fear this virus, but out of care for the other guy who doesn't have the faith I do.

Dear brother, ...do you, ...in faith, ...believe the promise God gave to His children us in Psalms 91?

A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; it shall not come near you.  Psa 91:7

Since God "said" that, ...then we are immune to this virus, ...so, please, tell me, ...if we are immune how can we give it to someone else?

Lord bless

And after you get a basic understanding of what the R0 of this thing is using the R0 of 3 mentioned in the example....extrapolate your own numbers using an R0 of 4 to 5.8....because that is where this virus' actual R0 actually is.  Just take 4, the conservative end of the range....extrapolate that out ten iterations of transmission and compare that to the example given by the professor.  You might actually begin to get a handle on what exponential functions mean to this pandemic.

Wow brother, ...I didn't know that...

Please, ...can you exegete Psalms 91 like that for all to read and understand and appropriate into their hearts?

Lord bless
