    You said it yourself, not me. Yes the masks are more comfortable, but they do NOT block virus from entering the air when the person wearing the mask exhales. This from San Francisco Public Health.

    I was not referring to masks with a vent in the front but rather those on the side. You were not at all specific in your original post. Notice the source you quoted says with a valve of the front. Nor does your source refer to masks that are rated as N95. I qualified my post by saying SOME OF THE BEST N95 masks. Why do you think we would be asked to leave N95 masks for use my medical professionals if some of them aren’t any good?
     

    By just tossing generalizations out there you are spreading bad information. You are the same person that was encouraging people to go to the “organic market” a short while ago. Now you’re an expert on how to stay safe. Really? Do you even know what an N95 or a KN95 mask is?

    The masks with the valve on the fae are for fighting fires and are NOT useful for Covid-19.

    Here is an excellent graphic to explain why masks are necessary

     

    Some of the best N95 masks have breath exhaust valves built into them to make breathing easier and keep the wearer comfortable.

    This board has an over abundance of people who know little but post a lot. Don’t be one of them.

    That is really fast for lakeside.JRPJR And I am really happy with my 20 down by 5 up. I remember the old days in 1997 when internet first arrived lakeside. We had Lagunanet dialup which limited their speed to 28.8 KB/sec down by slightly faster up. Rod Collins, the owner had to pay long  distance to Guadalajara for his dial up backbone.  Each telephone/internet backbone line was at 64 KB/sec up and down. And he could have up to 20 customers per backbone line. Obviously only a small % of the customers were all on line at the same time. (You have to remember that in those days, one paid long distance for regular phone calls from Ajijic to Joco and of course from lakeside to Guadalajara. How things have changed)

    In those days, we, the customers thought that this  dialup internet speed was pretty fast. Little did we know what was coming. :) 

     

    I had that has well when we first bought our place here and kept it he until he finally gave up the ghost. I started using a Telcel cellular modem about 2 years ago and was getting and still am about 40 down and 10 up since I have line to sight to a cell tower. I have kept it for a backup but the fiber optic service has been so reliable for both phone and verse I’m thinking of getting rid of it.

  4. Although I have not been to the Tuesday market in years, as I recall the overwhelming majority of those present appeared to be well over 60. The US CDC strongly recommends that those over 60 try to avoid all shopping trips period. It seems odd that a market targeting health conscious individuals should encourage people to ignore that guidance.

    b/t/w the reason I stopped going was because people were constantly trying to out jockey each other to get to items of choice. I can’t see them being good practitioners of social distancing.

    Another fact check, the FBI has infiltrated many white supremisit websites, and they report that they are telling their members any contract this they should go out and cough on police, jews and brown people.

    Also what country did SARS originate from? What about Swine flu? The so called Spanish flu did not originate in Spain. One version places the blame for CV as released by the US Army, participating in the Military Games event in Wuhan just before the outbreak. The Chinese government has not confirmed or denied this rumor.

    You are absolutely bat shit crazy! Where on God’s green earth do you get your information?

  6. Actually Kam and Kyle, I checked out a few OTHER LOCAL VENDERS first because i wanted to stay from groups of people and I didn’t find any. You probably know that produce is perishably and sometimes sellers have better quality than others. I was simply letting people know that Superlake, a locally owned store that has employed many local people for years, had some nice produce.

  7. COVID-19 is a new (actually now 2 different strains of) and little understood virus. It is not a Republican virus or a Democratic virus; it was an unexpected act of nature. It was nobody’s fault. Just as it is nobody’s that that there are not more hospital beds or respirators. We don’t have the luxury of having extra stuff just sitting around in case it might be needed someday.

    Worldwide there have been 8312 deaths from corona virus; 3237 of them in China. In the US there have been 100. By comparison, there have been more than 10,000 US deaths from the flu this season. The world still don’t have anything like a effective flu vaccine.

    If it makes some of you shallow people feel better to blame Donald Trump of the spread of COVID-19 go for it. But please have the sense not to embarrass yourselves by doing it publicly. 

     

  8. I agree, It's disappointing that many  just say go ahead and lie to the immigration authorities as if abusing the system is fine. Why should any country welcome anyone who feels this way. Also, I would guess that many of those who feel this way are the ones who complain the loudest about dishonest cops abusing the system and demanding bribes. Think about it.

  9. Your friends might also want to give some thought  to coming up with a story about why they have no entry stamps in their passports and make sure that it is consistent with their story about why they no longer have the return portions of their visas. If they really are in poor health I would urge them to talk with Spencer rather than taking a risk, even a  small one, of putting themselves in a bad situation.

  10. Just a little bit of simple clarification for the original poster. Fiber filters do nothing but remove particulate matter, i.e. sand etc. Charcoal or activated carbon filters will remove some organic compounds that can cause odors. An RO system can further reduce the level of some other chemicals and salts from artesian well water or softenes. However none of these treatments do anything to reduce the bacterial content of the water. A UV system will not kill the bacteria but will inhibit it's ability to multiply and make you seriously ill. We have both fiber and charcoal filters, a UV sterilization bulb, and an RO system with a dedicated faucet. We drink and cook with all the water and the water from the RO system even tastes great! Neither we nor our guests have ever had a problem.

    I'll will also add this and I mean it kindly. If you are even a little bit like Howard Hughes this may not be the place for you.
