If We All Wore Masks and Washed Our Hands, How would CORVID-19 Spread?

[repeated post]

OK, so explain to me why government doesn't demand that everyone wear masks when leaving the home. I'm not an epidemiologist but it seems to me that would stop the virus or rewrite the book on contact tracing. Perhaps we may need to employ many into street maintenance to sanitize common surfaces like handrails, but that also sounds like a win-win. Another plus is that it may doom Corvid-19 to just weeks of mischief instead of months or years.

What's the problem here, World? Money? (2T$?) Government overreach? They now tell us we have to wear clothes in public. Sharia law look-alike? Oh, please; but if you must, it's only temporary!

The only problem I see with wearing masks in public is two-fold: law enforcement would probably hate the idea (though tech can come to the rescue--yes, even if it means universal ID), and mating rituals (do some Muslims fall in love through just the eyes?) but think of the new cottage industry which will be created to place your image on your clothes if you are willing to engage in social interactions (always with the mask on, lovebirds! Have no fear, we can work on a slip on double bubble which the health police may allow; but I digress.

Come on President Donald J. Trump. What have you got to lose? Order it for just 14 days. Ask Drs. Fauci and Birx to approve it. It can be part of a national alert system where the public's response is to immediately don masks. Is there really a need to shut down any economy?

Oh, listen to me, speculating on that on which I know little. What a fool am I, surely they have already considered it and found it to be lacking.

New Jersey's Department of Personnel

I'm 57 years old. That alone makes it very hard to penetrate the job market. However, NJDOP has a website where you can browse available jobs and submit an application along with $15. I did that and I waited and waited for the process to reach the stage where the actual hiring agency would give out interviews for the position. 2 months into that last stage (the DOP said that the hiring agency had 90 days in which to interview candidates), I got anxious and decided to call the municipality. They were supposed to pick from the top 3 candidates but they told me in no uncertain terms that they were going to give it to "the person who was already doing the job." When I questioned the ethics and legality of their decision, I was told that they really hadn't finalized things. This person was hoping that I would go away but, sadly, NJ is a state where ageism and/or crony-ism is condoned. Stay tuned, I'm waiting to see if I get an interview and if I don't get the job,...

Size and other Characteristics Matter in Trumpville

Why was Comey fired? He towered over Trump, that's why. It's a no-no. That other dude that knew his job well was tall, and I suspect the administration knew all the time of his spousal abuse history but it only became a problem for him when his height got on the president's nerve, OUT. This height obsession is a conflation of the President's own tallness and NY real estate where the bigger the edifice, the bigger your status. Look at whom he holds on to--Sessions, plenty of reason to fire him but he's all so diminutive that Mr. Trump feels he might be charged with child abuse if he were to act against him; besides, Sesssions takes it on the chin and will forever hold the distinct "honor" of being the first mainstream Republican to embrace the President's candidacy. This represents two pluses. The short and tough-looking General Mattis stays while the bigger and better looking Tillerson goes. Mustaches: if you have one, you're out but a whit...

I Doubt My Mother-in-Law will ever get Covid Even at 90+

You see, she has never been a germaphobe and that means her immune system is tip top. When you're not a germaphobe, you subject yourself to all manner of germs that immunize you against similar organisms. My German mother-in-law cleans her home meticulously but she has no compunction with sticking her hands into the sewer and unclogging it by hand. "But Midge, I have a snake for that. Ah, what's the big deal, she says to me." Never argue with your mother-in-law. When your mother tells you to wash your hands before supper, is she doing you a disfavor? I think so. In countries with many parasites or in our present pandemic, you want to wash them off your hands but, if not, you want lots and lots of germs to keep your immune system on guard. This brings me to the factoid that Women are less likely to get or die from Covid. Duh, obviously, who subject themselves to more germs as a parent? The one who plays in the parlor with the kids or the one who cleans their diaper...
