HPCON B and masks required again indoors.

How many are vaccinated?

Do masks work?

What is the mortality rate of covid for 18 year olds?

Is there other problems associated with masks for plebe activities?

98%, No, 0.00001, Yes

 

[Don't Give Up the Ship]

98%, No, 0.00001, Yes

I don't think the masks are intended to act as a filter (the holes are too large, and there is no seal against the face). Perhaps the theory is that the masts divert the projection of exhaled breath? Not sure that even helps all that much either.

The thing I hate most about mask wearing is people can't see I'm snarling at them.

My glasses get so fogged up I can't see when I wear a mask. I've been saying for the last year+ that I am going to die from getting hit by a car because I can't see , especially when coming inside from the cold. The only benefit is I am comfortable that I could escape from my office if it was filled with smoke, as I go so used to walking up to my office from the parking ramp with zero visibility last winter.

Wash them with dish detergent or shampoo.

I used to do that to play racquetball.

My DS is on a mountain in Alaska right now. I wonder if he's wearing a mask there, hmmm?

I've seen sillier things -- plenty of pictures of Philmont Scout Ranch with Scouts wearing masks in the back country because of a state wide mandate. My favorite is those that wear masks while driving alone in their car.

 

[Don't Give Up the Ship]

I was out on my recreational boat the other day...a 30 ft. sail boat went by with 2 POB's: each wearing a mask. Wind was 15 Knots. Amazing!

I'm watching the coverage of the Pentagon shooting. Lots of LEOs without their face coverings.

Seems they have more important things to worry about.

All, don't care what the restrictions are for PPW. I will wear a full Chem suit if I can hug my DS. He needs it, Mom needs it and I need it. Forget the politics and embrace the time with the kiddos.

We probably should wear a full Chem suit to avoid the possibillty of contracting head lice/scabies/plebe hack

 

[Don't Give Up the Ship]

I'm looking forward to 2C PW Sept 30 th...hoping that restrictions are minimal then.

 

[Skipper07]

I'm here to clarify that approximately 0% of the MIDN I know wear masks in their own rooms.

Don't forget the cockroaches and mice droppings!

I can say my DS went underway on a sub last week with no mask mandate. Let's just say when they returned to port he wasn't pleased to find masks required again.

I have a ‘22. Plebe hack (and mono. And strep. And pink eye) ran their normal course plebe summer and beyond….just like what’s happening for ‘25 presently.

Guess what was all but absent for my masked up, company bubbled ‘24 and friends? Plebe hack. And mono. And strep. And pink eye.

What’s different? Masks. And cohort ‘bubbles’. So there IS something to the management, that helps with illness transmissions. Not an argument about anything, but rather an observation.

Far be it from me (paralipsis) to throw in a dose of reality here. Or, as I’m trying to get my 5 year old grandson to say, what the snot, instead of what the F, just wait until dear darling has to see Doc for things not mentioned in polite company.

I know, I know, officers aren’t supposed to get those things. Rest assured however, we won’t tell anybody. The mission continues regardless of conditions.

Are you ready for some football!!!? Three year old grandson said it the other day. Learned it from his mother. Marine in training

I see your paralipsis and raise you an apophasis, Doc.

Do they have a test for the delta plus?

At some point, I look forward to the influenza strain coming back.

Actually Epsilon was on my radar.
Maybe we just skip and move right on to Gamma, or else we will continue down sub categories of Delta for infinity…..
