Sanitizing maybe, my pet theory is that the "otherwise healthy", young, strong people who are dying or really suffering with COVID are also the people who are excessively clean. I'm thinking that germophobes don't build as strong immune systems.
If you're just staying away from other people you're still experiencing a whole world of germs. And for the last time THE MASK DOESN'T KEEP GERMS OUT. Wearing one won't compromise your immune system because it doesn't filter germs out, it keeps your germs on your face and away from me. The pee metaphor is apt, if some dude is peeing and neither of you is wearing pants you're at high risk of getting pee on you. If you're wearing pants you get a tiny amount of protection but you're probably still going to get pee on you. If he's wearing pants you get way more protection. The pants don't stop the pee completely but they seriously slow the stream. -Curt On Thursday, July 23, 2020, 3:07:26 PM EDT, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: Not days.
