Weddingstar or Masks A local company that has international reach in the wedding and marriage business has redirected their efforts to producing masks. They are pretty good masks I think and it means they have something to do. The hiatus in weddings has had a large impact on the company. The Weddingstar website has a lot of information about their masks. Locally I am seeing more and more of them and this is natural. Weddingstar is a local success and many locals want to support this company. They have the ability and the facility. The pandemic makes some strange business bedfellows but this is a good fit. I wouldn't be surprised to see them continue to offer mask for many years. The masks have replacement filters that can be easily changed. I am still using N95 masks and disposable gloves when I go into any store. Surely even experimental treatment that hasn't been shown to kill you is an option though, I agree. How can you make the call about who might live and who might not though. If they are on a ventilator already they still could recover. Several protocols for ventilated patients that initially seemed to help have been halted because of increased mortality. Researchers like Wakefield clearly exist, they are for sale and will make up any study requested. The need for independent replication of even experimental results cannot be set aside and has never been more important. I cannot imagine a family would want it any other way. Must be very difficult for Doctors to decide.

Just to clarify my point was that only a small percentage of covid patients end up on a ventilator. those are the desperate cases. and i would not wait for a trial result before trying to save their lives. This where the President, Governors and others in executive government positions failed the American people. They had plenty of days to see that those dying of the virus were 60+ years of age and take action accordingly. That would mean providing the support needed for those at home and for those in assisted living conditions. o~~~ O
