Guthrie Mayor Steve Gentling made another strong push for citizens to wear their mask when going out in public.
“There’s no scientific or medical group – that is not sane – that this is not an effective mechanism to minimize the spread of the virus. Not a single one,” Gentling said while holding his mask.
With the COVID pandemic, the City of Guthrie issued a shelter in place, including a face covering, ordinance on April 6. Three weeks later on April 21, the city council amended the shelter in place, but voted to keep the mask requirement before allowing that to expire on May 5.
“We initially mandated it (mask) and now we are highly recommended it as a council,” Gentling said during council comments.
He continued. “This is a courtesy and I think a responsibility. We have to protect each other. Put the mask on. Yes, it’s a slight inconvenience. Protect those around you.”
On Wednesday, the Oklahoma State Department of Health reported 44 total COVID cases in around the Guthrie area, including 30 recoveries.
For Logan County (with an estimated population of 48,000), there have been 70 confirmed cases with 48 recoveries and one death.
In Oklahoma, a record one day total of 858 cases were reported on Tuesday with an additional 673 cases on Wednesday. For the state, there have been 17,893 confirmed cases, 13,538 recoveries and 407 deaths.
“The virus isn’t going away,” Gentling said. “We need to be wearing this when we are out in the public when we think that our social distance is going to be compromised. Put it on.”
When does it stop? While the mayor believes that masks are the end all to the flu, there are others that believe that a healthy immune system is the key. That means fresh air, not breathing in Co2, washing your hands, etc. Just because someone sneezes are coughs doesn’t mean they have the flu. Allergies or just clearing out one’s nose isn’t a sign that you have the flu. And this thing called “social” distancing, it dysfunctional.
I’ve met more people that have lost their sense of common courtesy and have become flat out rude, because people don’t want to wear masks. Perhaps breathing in your own emissions is making you cranky. If it is…. stay home. Self-quarantine. What the world needs now is love sweet love…..
Not cranky people.
This is for all of the people in Logan County who have fallen for this mask nonsense – It is absolutely, pathetically incredible, that people have become such ignorant followers, that they put on a ‘mask’ to protect them against a strain of the flu – and YES that is exactly what it is. If this was a true ‘pandemic virus’, your masks would not protect you from it – you would need a hazmat suit complete with a NBC mask/filter. TPTB in Guthrie may want to actually do some literature research regarding masks before they make such medically false statements and continue to shove their fear mongering BS down everyone’s throats. The following is directly from an OSHA certified individual:
N95 masks: are designed for CONTAMINATED environments. That means when you exhale through N95 the design is that you are exhaling into contamination. The exhale from N95 masks are vented to breathe straight out without filtration. They don’t filter the air on the way out. They don’t need to.
Conclusion: if you’re in Target and the guy with the virus has a N95 mask, his virus breath is unfiltered being exhaled into Target. N95 blows the virus into the air from a contaminated person.
Surgical Mask: these masks were designed and approved for STERILE environments. …The surgical mask is not designed for the outside world and will not filter the virus upon inhaling through it. Its filtration works on the exhale, to protect the patient from doctor’s breath. The amount of particles and contaminants in the outside and indoor environments where people are CLOGGING these masks very, VERY quickly. The moisture from your breath combined with the clogged mask will render it “useless” if you come in contact with the virus and your mask traps it, you become a walking virus dispenser.
Cloth masks: ALL of them offer NO FILTERING whatsoever. As you exhale, you are ridding your lungs of contaminants and carbon dioxide. Cloth masks trap this carbon dioxide the best. It actually risks your health, rather than protect it. The moisture caught in these masks can become mildew ridden overnight. Dry coughing, enhanced allergies, sore throat are all symptoms of a micro-mold in your mask. Cloth masks are WORSE than none. It’s equivalent to using a chain link fence to stop mosquitos.
Conclusion: The CDC wants us to keep wearing masks. The masks don’t work. They’re being used to provide false comfort and push forward a specific agenda.
There are several scientific studies out there to prove the above. All one has to do is do a little literature research to find them.
I apologize in advance of my post is duplicated. I tried one with quotes and a link, did not seem to post, so removed the quotes and link for a second try. In any event, hopefully one of them posts.
Here is a short video that actually applies critical thinking to this scam of a virus. It appears critical and logical thinking has been lost among the minds of the Guthrie population, hence, the fear mongering, mask wearing, social distancing, stay-at-home, spit-shield placement, business closing and at times bordering on psychotic behavior by some. Our Family has been discussing several of these points for months. Hopefully, the link will be allowed to post:
Thank you to Kimberly for staying on top of this and providing logical, sensible information for others to consider. The video was very informative and well done. Again, thank you!
