Why would I bother?
This above is just silly. TS has repeatedly claimed masks don't work and has gone on tirades against mandatory mask mandates. A surgeon wearing a mask is because of mandatory mask mandates.
I understand what point you are going for with those two examples but it’s rare that a sleep deprived grocery store cashier will potentially infect you (or be infected by you) with a potentially deadly disease. Unless it’s a pandemic.
She probably knows how to use proper English though.
A) This would mean more if you hadn't been flinging poo over masking for over a year (two years?)
Dante: I don't want the government to force me to attend Church.
Aren't mandates instructions for other people?
Right. That’s why I pick up dog poop with a bare hand.Oh, wait - no, I don’t.
Nitrile gloves are great to have just for … life. But as you point out, their greatest impact on COVID is probably psychological.
Whether I have gloves on or not will be of no value in whether my touching that door knob poses any threat. Gloves are only useful for infection control when changed between situations--the doctor pulling on a new pair for each patient is useful. Walking around with gloves on does basically nothing--all it means is the contamination is on the outside of the gloves, not on your skin. Since it's not going to go through that skin there's no difference.
The problem with prostate cancer screening (both digital and PSA) is that they have found it confers no survival benefit--yes, you find some prostate cancers that would have otherwise been missed. However, you also have a lot of treatment for things that turn out not to be cancer and cancers that were too slow growing to pose a threat. The hazard from the false positives is as great as the benefit from the true positives.
And having your body slowly chopped up by repeated infections.
