Funny how you guys never complain about religious folks an their “magical man in the sky” when they are feeding the homeless, or building hospitals in some of the poorest places in the world, or passing out Christmas boxes the kids who had never gotten presents before, or being first responders to natural disasters or running meals on wheels programs all over the country or..........

You will all find this extremely hard to believe but Brian Ilten who was a mainstay on this board before he boycotted the Angels because of Scioscia.  Well that dude believes wearing a mask violates his freedom, oh and Newsome is Hitler.  Reading his shit on FB is like watching live play by play of receiving AIDS.

Wonder if he feels that way about every state's governor?

His Percival/Scioscia/Indians meltdown was one of the greatest meltdowns in the history of this board.

Dude he's fucking awful, and he has a ton of friends who are exactly the same. He was talking about the "socialism check" going out and then said he wasn't getting one because he made too much or some shit and I was like if it's a socialism check why do you want it? He called me a commie. It was fun.

There's a lot about California governance that I don't like and I'm sympathetic to Brian. I'm also sympathetic to literal commies. That said, I tolerate it because the benefits outweigh the costs. Clearly Brian tolerates it too. He can move to South Dakota and do whatever he wants. But he doesn't. Doesn't mean he shouldn't complain but he's acting as if the government here is supposed to resemble his values. That is a silly position to hold.

Brian...

He's a hell of a lot of fun to have a beer and be at a game with.

He's also completely insane. Truly bananas.

By election day trumps going to carry orange county by 2 million votes

1.1 million people voted in Orange County in the 2016 election. Hillary received 100k more than Trump. So I'm going  to go out on a limb, and say that won't happen.

You probably didn't need N95 to begin with. I think you're fine.

Guys...wearing a mask in public is less about helping yourself, and more to help prevent you from spreading the virus to others - especially those who don't have the option to lock themselves away for months.

This isn't a freedom issue, it really is about being a member of society.

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/04/dont-wear-mask-yourself/610336/

Article goes into a more detail, talks about why medical providers are at more risk and need n95 masks. But really drives into...I'm wearing a mask for you, you are wearing a mask for me

 

The good news is that preventing transmission to others through egress is relatively easy. It’s like stopping gushing water from a hose right at the source, by turning off the faucet, compared with the difficulty of trying to catch all the drops of water after we’ve pointed the hose up and they’ve flown everywhere. Research shows that even a cotton mask dramatically reduces the number of virus particles emitted from our mouths—by as much as 99 percent. This reduction provides two huge benefits. Fewer virus particles mean that people have a better chance of avoiding infection, and if they are infected, the lower viral-exposure load may give them a better chance of contracting only a mild illness.

COVID-19 has been hard to control partly because people can infect others before they themselves display any symptoms—and even if they never develop any illness. Three recent studies show that nearly half of patients are infected by people who aren’t coughing or sneezing yet. Many people have no awareness of the risk they pose to others, because they don’t feel sick themselves, and many may never become overtly ill.

Think of the coronavirus pandemic as a fire ravaging our cities and towns that is spread by infected people breathing out invisible embers every time they speak, cough, or sneeze. Sneezing is the most dangerous—it spreads embers farthest—coughing second, and speaking least, though it still can spread the embers. These invisible sparks cause others to catch fire and in turn breathe out embers until we truly catch fire—and get sick. That’s when we call in the firefighters—our medical workers. The people who run into these raging blazes to put them out need special heat-resistant suits and gloves, helmets, and oxygen tanks so they can keep breathing in the fire—all that PPE, with proper fit too.

If we could just keep our embers from being sent out every time we spoke or coughed, many fewer people would catch fire. Masks help us do that. And because we don’t know for sure who’s sick, the only solution is for everyone to wear masks. This eventually benefits the wearer because fewer fires mean we’re all less likely to be burned. My mask protects you; your masks protect me. Plus, our firefighters would no longer be overwhelmed, and we could more easily go back to work and the rest of our public lives.

By the looks of that vehicle I'm assuming some folks were not social distancing AND not wearing masks or it's possible they could have opened their store without permission too. Hopefully the police were able to mitigate the threat
