You need long exposure to the virus 10 or 15 with the person . Simply getting close to you for a moment will not infect you .

What I believe is that lying about a medical condition to avoid wearing a mask is the behavior of a complete scumbag. If people have legitimate medical conditions they should be expected to provide written confirmation from a physician similar to what is required for a disabled parking plate.Quote:

"Certainly, if you're in very close contact with somebody who's shedding a lot of virus, and you happen to get a droplet on your hand and then wipe your nose, that could take far less than 15 minutes" to infect you, says Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.
How you interacted also matters a great deal, Barocas says. For example, was the infected person coughing? Was the person wearing a mask, which can help contain a lot of the infectious particles someone might be breathing out? Were you indoors or outdoors, where airflow would quickly disperse any infectious particles the person might have exhaled? How infectious was the person at the time of interaction? (Studies have shown that people with the coronavirus are most infectious just before and in the first few days after they start to show symptoms.) If an infected person were to cough on you while walking past, that would constitute a high-risk interaction – even if it was brief, he says.

In the same breath they allow people to line-up outside big box retailers so you can buy anything under their roof (essential and non essential goods), and there is nothing stopping anyone from jumping on a plane and fly across the country, down south for a vacation, or anywhere in the US. In the beginning of this why did it take us so long to stop flights
I am not saying I do not take COVID 19 lightly, but like most things politicians are doing what is easy not what is right or what needs to be done. One year ago why did it take us so long to limit international flights into hot spots and when they did come in we did no screening what so ever - epic failure. I have lost what little faith I had in our leaders as they do not have the health and welfare of Canadians at the forefront. If they did there would be no 1/2 measures.
If your both wearing a mask ? .
Someone coughing on you is a different story lol.
Or is it the mask handling that is the issue?
Some health care workers are working day and night yet haven't been infected . Wonder why that is. But they have worked with sick patients and don't get the virus. Many do yes but many haven't got sick yet from the beginning.
Follow the procedures and the chance of getting infected are slim. Your not supposed to itch your nose when shopping your not supposed to remove your mask your supposed to sanitize before removing your mask.
You can't touch your mask with your hands after you walk into the store. Taking off your mask when leaving the store before you sanitize isn't the protocol.
Remember the purpose of the mask is when you can't distance. When you pass a person stopped in the isle that isn't a problem .
That's the problem with mask's essentially they are a ppe and a person must be trained to use it properly . The inability to use it properly is the problem.

The wealthy ones rose there wealth by 32 percent. By well just by being wealthy not by doing much to better the economy lol.
I too am confused of this opportunity was thinking of starting a new post on it . To determine what opportunities it brings.
It's brings dark days and winter's.
It brings great devastation to our LTC homes.
It brings our economy crushing down
It could drive a third of the business away.
It brings death .
And the list can go on. I haven't figured out what good opportunity a deadly virus brings .

Provide this information to whom? To you? To any person on the street? To any shop owner? Police require court orders to access peoples personal health records, why should some shop owner have the right to know my personal business? Am I to wear a sign around my neck or just walk around like an olden days leper yelling "UNCLEAN"?Quote:

Does anyone have access to a persons health data, when a disabled parking permit is in the car window? No, just the Dr. who issued it. Carry a card, issued by a Dr.. No health data reveled. To simple?
I think the days of mask exceptions are over . At the beginning I saw a few elderly people who did not wear a mask .
Now if you don't wear it people just go crazy and are being charged or denied entry .

I think there's a big difference between a bum knee or being an octogenarian than many other issues that make mask wearing not only difficult but painful. You can see someone with a limp and it is what it is, nobody thinks about it any further. Someone with your special card that will cost them $95 can end up constantly embarrassed by it. People will look, wonder and talk about what you may or may not have. Take a small community outlook, say someone with asbestosis shows their card, by the end of the day the community will have them labeled with something that can ruin careers, friendships and sex lives. Like I said "UNCLEAN"Quote:
