Vice President Biden's Remarks
Washington D. C. - everyone is up in arms , over the Vice President's remarks , over closed spaces , while catching the latest bug , that has come to town.
It's amazing at the number of people saying how , " full of it " , the vice president is.
Well , here's the skinny - EMS personnel are currently being taught about sneezing and it's effectiveness in spreading " bugs " , in confined/closed spaces. Take for example , the elevator. Without a doubt , this is an excellent " confined space " place , to spread something to other people , especially if the person( s) doing the sneezing , are also infected. There is a case on file , stating this method of spreading a " bug " , has been used before , in America.
So , despite the fact , Vice President Joe Biden is not a doctor , he still knows what he is talking about.
Moving on - about those face masks. Unless you are using a HEPA , your mask is most likely useless. Your mask " MUST " have a perfect seal , all around it's surface , touching your skin. If you haven't shaved or even washed , this seal will not be in place. Even facial make up , will prevent the mask from sealing. Soo , what this now means , to avoid catching the " bug " , you will need an environmental suit or just stay home and hope it doesn't make house calls.
