Fox News medical correspondent Dr. Marc Siegel answered your questions about the coronavirus pandemic on “Fox & Friends” on Thursday. Question: How safe is it when I am grocery-shopping to not have a mask? Someone could have just coughed or sneezed before I got there? The question comes as a new study suggests that the novel coronavirus can remain in the air for up to three hours, and live on surfaces such as plastic and stainless steel for up to three days.

I wear surgical gloves and wipe down my cart with Clorox wipes as well. Before this, I never bothered with such measures. Now, with two elderly parents in my home, I wouldn't even think of NOT doing them. And they stay on through the end of my purchase. You have NO idea of how filthy those touch screens at the registers are or how many germy fingers have touched them.

In this article the doctor that Fox put on air says it can "live on surfaces such as plastic and stainless steel for up to three days". But I have seen a report by a doctor from Japan who went to Wuhan to study the virus who said, "When the virus is found on metal surfaces, it survives for about 12 hours." How are we to know what is crisis hype and what is real science?

I don't wear a mask anywhere unless there's a dust risk.

Grocery carts and other public surfaces didn't just become germ beds. I'm a germaphobe and I have always wiped down carts and keep hand sanitizer in my car that I use after every public place I visit. People who know me have always made jokes about it, but they're not laughing at me now. My point is all the things people are afraid to touch now have always been nasty and had the potential to make them sick. The virus that obama "let" get out of control did more damage, but most people weren't "scared" into making changes like they've made for this virus. The current CV-19 deaths were lower than obama's virus before we stopped life as we know it, and still are. There's something going on here; this panic and restriction of normalcy doesn't make sense. Politicians are selling off stocks and making money while regular folks are losing money, keeping their own businesses open and operating while shutting down others. They're spending taxpayer money like they're smoking marijuana and coming up with crazy ways to break the national bank. Where are the sane politicians? Why are they quiet? Why is everyone going along with this?

#4 - this is being hyped by the media and fed by foreign money and Chinese influence. If conservative politicians aren't seen as doing something, the media and the Dems will tear them a new one and use this "crisis" to railroad them out of office so their Manchurian candidates can do more and worse to us. RINO's like Burr are lining their pockets at our expense, using insider info to dump their stocks days before the market crashed while we watch our portfolios lose as much as 30% over the last few weeks. At this point, I'm not sure what it all looks like once we come out the other side... greyseal

Fox news has turned into fake news. Use your own judgement. The indoor air has already been recirculated several times in three hours and most masks will not stop a virus anyway. I don't know about most stores but Walmart has hand sanitizer at every checkout station and as a result, the buttons on the card processor are probably cleaner than most people's hands.

I had trouble understanding this Doctor's answers, to be honest. He's not very clear. When I lived in China, flus were constant fact of life. We got sick a lot. One of the things that seemed to help was the local practice of wearing a simple cotton mask when out in public. I got sick less often when I wore the mask more. The doctor in this article says it doesn't help. My experience was different. It's up to you to decide.

Numerous docs have said that this is irrelevant, and I don't doubt it. I was shopping to day. When I got to the car, I sprayed alcohol on my hands and cleaned them. Cleaned the steering wheel and door handle. Washed my hand thoroughly when I got home. That's my routine. Choose your own.

This mask business misses something important. Does it help if YOU are sick and wear the mask to keep YOUR sneezing and coughing from infecting others. If you are sick and have to go out wouldn't it be reasonable that a mask would help others?

You needed a mask and gloves before the virus. When a woman went to the bakery to get a free cookie for her toddler. I noticed the child had a red mark under her eye. The mother said She has an eye infection. Dear G-d. I asked the employee if she had any wipes for the mother (they all seemed to have disappeared in the crisis) She wet a paper towel and I asked the mother to wipe the cart handle. Another feral scratched his nether regions and used the keypad at the register. So yes, I wear a mask and gloves to protect me.

All over the country, there are businesses, schools, and churches that are still not allowed to reopen, but it’s a different story at migrant shelters. The CDC is now bending the rules to allow these shelters to operate at full capacity. Stef W. Kight reports at Axios: CDC lets child migrant shelters fill to 100% despite COVID concern. The Centers for Disease Control is allowing shelters handling child migrants who cross the U.S.-Mexico border to expand to full capacity, abandoning a requirement that they stay near 50% to inhibit the spread of the coronavirus, Axios has learned.

WASHINGTON – The Equality Act is expected to advance in Congress this week. It's a controversial bill designed to overhaul the nation's civil rights laws to include LGBT Americans, but many worry it will trample on the rights of women and people of faith. Under the Equality Act, disagreement is considered discrimination. It includes gay marriage, biological males competing in women's sports, and doctors performing procedures--like gender reassignments--that go against their conscience.(Snip) Under the bill, Christian beliefs are unlawful. Churches could be prevented from requiring employees to abide by their biblical beliefs about marriage and differences between men and women.

Former President Trump on Monday lashed out after the Supreme Court declined to block the Manhattan district attorney from obtaining his financial records, blasting the probe as politically motivated and pledging to "fight on." "The Supreme Court never should have let this 'fishing expedition' happen, but they did," Trump said in a statement. "This is something which has never happened to a President before, it is all Democrat-inspired in a totally Democrat location, New York City and State, completely controlled and dominated by a heavily reported enemy of mine, Governor Andrew Cuomo."

A very interesting article from Politico notes that President Trump is positioning himself to screen candidates for 2022 who support the MAGA initiatives. This would essentially be considered a hostile move by the professional republican elites.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
