My thought of the day because you know Poblin. So you know, the last few weeks, UM, there's big debate. There's even protests happening because Mayor Deblasio, the mayor of New York City, our city that we live in, UM, has said that beginning August thirteen, the rules have now changed to UM. If you go to a restaurant and you, uh, First of all, they don't care about masks. They're saying,
you have to prove somehow that you're vaccinated. I haven't even really looked into how you're supposed to prove it, but you have to prove that you're vaccinated in order to be able to do in restaurant dining, in room dining,
and some other things in this city. UM. And you know, September a month or so later, it's going to be mandatory to the point that the health Department will be out checking the restaurants and I guess walking up to your table saying let me see your paperwork or let me see I don't know what, but they're trying to prevent COVID. But I don't think I'm spreading. You can't prevent They've already, like I just this one these things
just don't make sense. Well, you can't. You can reduce it, reduce it, you can reduce it, but I don't think just what. Well, first of all, mask definitely have reduced the spread of absolutely, because we know it from our own homes. We know if I'm from our own homes. Absolutely, I know from my own life and from others around me that people, even people who are caring for a person who has COVID, right, even folks in the medical field, they wear their masks and these and by the way,
mask are not a new phenomenon. The way that we are wearing masks now is probably not healthy. I agree, it's not healthy for you, but man as they're not new. Medical professionals have been using masks to prevent the spread of viruses and other things forever, and so we know that when people first, when doctors and nurses were coming into contact with COVID patients before they figured it out, they were getting sick like crazy because they didn't know.
And then when they realize, oh shoot, I have to wear my mask, and I might need the what's the you know, the blue one, and then something else to cover it and not just the fancy ones. Then you started to see a reduction in the amount of healthcare professionals who again, your doctors doing your I don't know, maybe I'm just making up something. The doctor may have come in on a g Y N appointment and usually they don't wear their mask until they actually start to
examine you. But they don't come in the room and they talk to you. They want to sit down, have a good conversation, how you doing this, and that it's good to see you out of that baby. Shake your hand, because that was the thing doctors used to shake your hand and then the next thing, you know, you touch your face, you rub your eye, and that's how you're spreading things. But once we knew about social distancing, wash
your hands were your mask. It began to reduce the amount of people in the health care profession and in other places that we're getting COVID. Now, does that mean that it's gonna totally stop it? Absolutely not. But I know that your chances of transmitting COVID to another person or any virus, when you have washed your hands and you have something that's protecting you and that person. It's just common sense that the dot the virus is not
gonna jump through the mass. That's just not realistic. Well, I'm not saying they jumped through the mask. That's most of these masks don't prevent everything from going through anyway. So if you're talking to the mask and and it's coming off the side anyway. Yeah, but that's why even if you if you look at the average person with the mask when you talk, there's places that the air can go through. That that's why you can steal within a mask. You don't go out a d but do
you still have air pockets within the mask. It doesn't realize that you can catch I didn't say it completely. I never I never used the word completely. I said reduces. So that's like you can catch something when you have on a condom, but the chances of it being transmitted is less. So if it was a hundred percent or without the condom, you put the condom on, you might be down to or even less than that. So I'm saying that it is there is a reduction based upon mask.
But I'm saying in this situation, they're not even asking people to wear masks, right, They're saying you have to be vaccinated. But the problem is that we know you can still catch COVID if you're vaccinated. So I am so very confused as to what we're doing, and sometimes of stitutional or civil rights or some ship is being violated by telling folks they can't go sit in a restaurant.
I'm trying to understand why we've gotten so comfortable asking people about their little hipper stuff, right, because there was supposed to be hippa laws that prevent you from being able to ask another person. It's like asking me, are you on birth control? Like, I don't know. I don't know if I have to answer that question, especially if you and I are not engaged in something that like you know what I'm saying, like, And I think that's
why it's not the mandates. I think these are threats, right, and they keep saying them, and I don't think they constitutionally can stand up. It's like, you know, concerts have been said, oh you have you have to have this, and you have to have that, and a lot of people I know ain't going in showing no nothing. They're having their tickets, they're asking you a question, or they're telling they're putting up broadly that you need to have these things so that you think, well, I gotta let
me go get it. And and and that's a it's a it's a trick. It's really like a trick because they're not really I can't see you walking to the restaurant they asking you for a vaccine, but they're going to because they haven't seen I haven't seen yet with that's happening, well not yet, because I mean New York is gonna be the first city that has ever happened then.
But at the same time, my thing is, I am so torn because on one side, I completely understand that you have workers, You've got healthcare providers, you essential workers, as they say, You've got people out here who can't afford to get sick, or like me, if you feel that you can't afford to get sick, then you need to take the vaccine. You can't. You can't tell somebody
else who don't feel like they can't afford. If I feel like my immune system is way stronger than everybody else, I probably get sick once every five years with a cold for two days, and you're gonna tell me that I'm just saying. I'm just saying, Okay, you probably seen. But for the most part, I don't really get sick like and if I do get sick, immediately my immune system fight at all. So you're telling me that because you feel like you're susceptible, that I need to take
a vaccine. No, you need to take the vaccine. Well, but but, but, and and and every time we have this conversation, we always go back to and I'm charging our entire team with us finding professionals that can talk with us about this topic. Because now we here's the issue. You haven't experienced the mutation of viruses. You also have
not experience having diabetes and also having a virus. So you want to assume that someone who has studied it to the perspective, to the extent that they got diabetes person at the table. They have a mycen person who's pretty healthy. At the table. They have another person who you know, it might not be you know, may not be diabetes and all of that, but they obese or they have different issues. And those people are coming together
and working with this professional who has studied viruses. I want to assume that that person has a little bit of a step above in terms of knowledge. Then we then we then we do so all suggest in the medical field, you have so many different people that have different I understand that, but that, but that my studies tell me this, and other person will my studies say this,
But that's my point. My point is. My point is that when we as people who haven't studied it, we don't have certain health concerns, we don't have everybody sitting at the table. I think that what is responsible is to have somebody there who may be able to provide perspectives that can help deal with a wide array of individuals.
