covering the face is frowned on , do you think anyone used pandemic as an excuse before , because I'm sure they had loads back in the day?

There is always context.  For example alcohol for cleaning a wound is good.  Alcohol to drink is manmat in Sikhi.  

So you don't actually have history or Gurbani to back up your claim.  Essentially you are putting words in the Guru's mouth, knowing the Guru did not say it.  This is manmat.  Sure there may have been pandemics in the past.  But you don't have any information on how the Guru would have dealt with it.  Do you not see a problem with your wild claim?  The Guru has refused darshan to a Muslim women who covered her face for religious/cultural reasons.   However this reference is not related to the pandemic where  face mask help prevent the further spread of  a deadly virus.

I did not put words in Guru ji's mouth just said what my heart felt , like I was hiding in fear when sitting in the presence of the healer of all the universe  it seemed  like I didn't have strength in faith

What your heart felt is not what the Guru said.  We don't have any historical reference to say what the Guru said, if such a incident had arose.  You made it up.  Since you speak of faith.  We have circumstances in history where Sikhs and people in general were injured or sick.  Sri Guru Harkrishan Sahib ji helped the sick using what method they had in that time.  Guru Sahib didn't say faith is not to use current medical methods to get rid of the illness or prevent it and just have faith in me  If you are suggesting such fanatical ideas than give your head a shake.  Sri Guru Gobind Singh sahib ji was attacked and the attacker managed to cut Guru Sahib abdominal area.  A doctor was brought in to fix the wound. 

Your theory has no standing in history or Gurbani.  I wish you would accept the hukam of Guru Sahib and stop this nonsense on here.  Many people are losing their lives due to covid 19 and irresponsible people like you are telling people to not wear preventive face coverings.  I think,  the @ADMIN @MOD @S1 NGH should not allow any post that says face mask don't help or the covid 19 virus is not real.

i said to be careful what you trusted in terms of masks as i have read the scientific studies about materials, construction and fit and also trialled and sewn masks for loved ones , friends and patients . tshirt material is inadequate as it has too many holes and if the total gaps around your mask add up to the surface of a ten pence renders the effectiveness to less than 30% so yes then there is no real protection.

whether you wear it or not the curve of casesvs deaths doesn't change much if you watch the Ivor Cummins video he shows the data analysed by numerous people including epidemiologists and scientists against other diseases pandemics/epidemics  too . It seems that it is more about susceptibilities due to multiple comorbidities and malnutirition rather than masks . In fact he shows Swedens numbers are actually not foolowing the modelling forecasts it has only 1/15th of the total covid deaths  predicted . Kudrat is more complex than they imagine .

I have made the masks for my lot to protect them from bullies needing an excuse for a racist attack and to reassure the frightened as they have already had the covid and recovered in february (of course I treated them according to symptoms which I found out later were exactly what was associated with this virus). Fear is a greater weapon to lay people's immune systems low that's why I say do the necessary legally but remember reality is chances are if you eat clean, don't smoke/vape, drink alcohol , and sleep well you have very low chance of being laid low if you do get it ..

Stop spreading propaganda.   Any person with a little bit of common sense will look at individual cases and be able to tell, wearing a mask is very effective. Businesses have managed to keep the virus away by telling their employees to wear a mask.  Businesses where the virus hit and later got control by making employees wear mask and taking the symptomatic employees to stay home.  After wearing a mask, the virus has not shown up again in that business. A mask worn by a person protects others from getting the virus.  A person can be asymptomatic and without a mask, they can pass it to someone else who will have serious damage to their internal organs or die.  This is the reason why people with common sense wear a mask.  We don't whine and cry about it feeling discomfort.  It's done for others.

I don't think it is much to do with 'common sense' 

I think we should keep an open mind about anything we do not immediately believe

day before yesterday I had a very interesting talk with a nurse whilst waiting for my Mum OUTSIDE the hospital on the hospital's policy . She had been in Italy working when the covid hit and she had her doubts about the  efficacy of all the measures too because of her observations of both countries responses and their effect in hospitals . She also mentioned the nature of the people who are worst off and they fall into the category at risk for seasonal deaths or complications due to iatrogenic causes of multiple medications for chronic conditions. Being from Algeria she mentioned that border closures prevents her to visit family but she didn't seem to feel that people there were  panicked (as many nations are not) people are not travelling unnecessarily, keeing food stores of dried goods just in case there is strict lockdown  and keep their distances anyway but life has to continue as most live hand to mouth.

My American Colleagues have commented that they went on weekend hikes through a nearby range of hills and people there were so fearful they were wearing masks  and screaming at anyone walking within five metres of them , when seated they were maintaining distance of ten metres or more from each other and still feeling need to rush to cover their faces inbetween  mouthfuls of water or food .  I think this level of fear is unnecessary given what we know and also the fact that such levels of fear burn through the same vitamin and mineral reserves you need to support your immune system .

This virus is here to stay but already it has developed multiple forms which are milder less fatal  as cases increases show vs less death count/hospitalization counts .

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
