To Wear a Mask or Not to Wear a Mask

Many Americans have struggled over the topic of wearing masks. Many have fought diligently to convince other mask-wearing Americans that they are ineffective in handling and protecting from the current Coronavirus outbreak. Some say that only N95 masks (surgical masks with a high-level micron filter) work. However, in a public setting, a cloth mask is certainly shown to better than no mask.A report from the Mayo Clinic (2020) states:

Countries that required face masks, testing, isolation, and social distancing early in the pandemic seem to have had some success slowing the disease's spread. Common sense also suggests that some protection is better than none. But wearing a cloth face mask will lose any value unless it's combined with frequent hand-washing and social distancing (para. 9).
 
So, with this, I urge you all to help in any way to slow the spread of this outbreak. If you have any questions or concerns, comment or email me. In addition, I hope that you can help donate N95 masks to medical staff across the country or at least make cloth masks to help successfully slow and even stop the virus.

Thank you.
Sorry for the delay in posting times.

Mere Philosophy #2

Mere Philosophy #2             One of the prime traits of what I deem to be my code for morality includes limiting all types of bias toward everything and anything. Much like a medical doctor or a surgeon, they have an objective sense of limiting biases. Thus, I refer to this theory as The Doctor Theory. One example of this can be illustrated by taking an x-ray. The patient might think he has just fractured his wrist; however, upon closer examination by the doctor, he finds that the patient has a clean break right through the upper portion (closest to the wrist) of the ulna.             This is just one example of a common form of bias elimination on the part of the doctor. Through eliminating biases, the doctor can make an accurate diagnosis, effectively treating the patient who is now on the road to recovery. Through not only applying this practice in our objective liv...

Mere Philosophy #1

Mere Philosophy #1             This initial post in a new series will take place as a result of the ever-increasing amount of questions I have about the world we live in. In this series, we will explore some of the thoughts I have on complex, deeply meaningful philosophical questions in which I have or will seek to answer in my life.             One question I have thought about recently concerning an ancient Chinese philosophy that can be generously applied to almost every area of life. This is the notion of [1] yin and yang. In a nutshell, yin and yang represent the opposites that proportionately cancel or balance each other out. One watered-down example of this includes night and day. An approximately equal amount of days have occurred as nights; therefore, this instance can be considered one instance of yin and yang. Although many areas span the breadth of this philoso...

Mere Philosophy #5

Mere Philosophy #5 Imagine an orchard that fully develops only once. Similar to this orchard, the field of scientific advancement has less and less “easier to reach” apples at the bottom of the tree (the tree referring to the field of science). Although apples (scientific innovations) still inhabit the top of the tree, fewer apples exist now than after the tree was originally planted. Much like the diminishing number of apples on the tree, I have theorized that the number of advancements in the field of science and the number of innovations is also decreasing, or at least becoming harder to carry out. After all, it took Elon Musk, an astounding genius of the 21 st century, to build re-landable rockets. Thus, it’s likely that scientific advancement for the common citizenry will cease due to the increasing intellectual stimulation required to make these advancements. Because of this, I have coined, “The Orchard Theory.” I state my beliefs upon this subject not to discourage an...
