(6,017 posts)...just a bunch of kitchky Bigfoot kooks. Now county governments in Siskiyou, Modoc, Glenn, Yuba, Tehama and Sutter have all adopted resolutions on the theme of withdrawing from the State of California. Lake and Lassen county supervisors have submitted similar questions about dissolution to their voters.
Outside of that specific effort, if you really want to know just how bad nearly all of the North State has become, check out anewscafe.com - they've been doing an amazing job of documenting how Bethel, Constitutional Sheriffs & Peace Officers Association law enforcement and a self-made mobster named Carlos Zapata have made the North State.

(555 posts)...I became a Christian in Bethel a couple decades ago, but I had no idea it had radicallized like that. My sister was highly involved in their worship program, and kept ties with them via their website after moving to Oregon.
I guess I don't have to wonder anymore how or why she's been becoming radicalized. She may not identify as a magat yet, but she and all my sisters are trending in that direction.

Is it really worth it? If they really thought about it they would probably just walk away.

(37 posts)1. If the mask covers your eyes while you're walking, driving. or using a razor.
2. If the device is an oxygen mask used at a flow rate of less than six litres per minute.
These particular masks must, of course, be impermeable to gases.
Otherwise they'd be like dribble glasses for getting drunk, or intravenous lines with drain holes:
Useless.
Consequently if insufficient oxygen (O2) is delivered, in theory, excess "bad air" (CO2) could be retained around the patient's mouth and nose, causing them to rebreathe excess CO2.
Unfortunately some nurses aren't aware of this standard, and will simply turn down the O2 as the patient requires less, rather than switch to a nasal cannula.
HOWEVER while the low O2 flow to a mask poses theoretical risk, it's worth noting that in none of the cases I've encountered did the patient show signs of excess CO2 levels or oxygen insufficiency.
As CO2 diffuses at a rate 20 times greater than O2, that finding hardly surprises.
3. "But didn't T.V. Airhead report a study..." STOP RIGHT THERE!
What should be questions of science and public health have become articles of faith for political propagandists who pick up an obviously defective report and trumpet it without seeking comment from anyone who would let facts get in the way of a bad story.
The bogus report by an unqualified framer will be retracted by whoever printed it, but the retraction won't be mentioned by Mr. Airhead.
The harm to public mental health is done by a cynical liar about masks, and cowardly governors of Texas and Florida do their damnedest to infect as many kids as they can.
4. If masks actually did harm, by CO2 retention or anything else, my experience would have turned it up. Not infrequently when air quality's less than good I'll quick march (120 paces per minute) a mile to the city limits, where concrete ends and jogging can begin, wearing an N95 mask.
Nada.
Air molecules simply aren't large enough to be trapped or excluded by personal protective masks . Larger particles, including viral ones, are.
The next variant of the Covid 19 agent will arrive many days before it's identified, many more still before it's announced. That's why I'll continue wearing masks around others in common areas
