Covid isn't killing me. The governments reaction to it is.

I don't wear one nor will I start to wear one. There is proof beyond doubt when you look at the virus and contrast it with pore spaces in the fabric of masks. All the rest is just the liberal media, politics, agenda, and propaganda.

The virus isn't just floating around in a vapor cloud. It is in droplets. The masks stop the droplets. You aren't risking yourself by not wearing the mask, you are selfishly risking others.

If masks and lockdowns work why are we supposedly seeing spike number 3 all around the world?

Second wave, which every scientist in the world predicts, and which Trump denied would happen. If masks don''t why is the rate of infection, illness and death in jurisidictions with mask mandates, so much lower than those without?

If they don't work, there is no harm in wearing a mask, but if they do work, there is great harm in not wearing one. Do no harm, wear the fucking mask. It's not a matter of freedom, and it's not political. It's a matter of common sense.

Someone not for wearing masks saying the govt failed in being too draconian is .... pathetic.

Contempt for expertise is a paranoidal trait of ideological dogmatists who fantasize that a failed casino operator knows more about epidemics than epidemiologists, more about climate than climatologists.

Research scientists are frenetically seeking a cure for that horrific malady.

People are manic right now. People I respect are cracking under the pressure.

One of my closest friends is literally scared to death to leave his house. Anytime his wife goes out I hear about how she put his life at risk.

IT'S FUCKING INSANE

I hope he comes though it okay. I can't wait to go bowling again. I didn't really like doing it much other than the fellowship of getting together and bowling and eating cheap nachos (which are the best). Right now, I'd kill to sit in the shitty bowling alley, and hear the same stories I've heard 80 times.

Stories?

Why I remember when you vote counted for something and government did not suck the lives out of while, at the same time, raising our taxes as government is giving stimulus packages away because people need the F#CKING money instead of retarded tax increases dementia JOE!!!!

But I digress.

Well I don't know about "you vote" but my vote counted. Really dude...your blob lost. deal with it.

Not really. They made a mockery out of your vote when they committed massive fraud.

306-232...scoreboard.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

... Biden himself is unconstitutional. ...

What's nonsense. Mr. Joe Biden is the elected president of the USA. And let me say clearly, so no misunderstanding will occur: In case your leader Donald Trump will still be president of the USA after the 21st of January, then it will be the duty of every member of the free world to eliminate Donald Trump. Dead or alive!

So if you can’t cheat, just kill your way to power, right?

The pretense that age = informed is unsupported by evidence

There are VERY FEW teenagers that have any amount of monetary knowlege, geo political issues, military knowledge or even enough life experience to make life altering choices. All of the above leads to uninformed voters if allowed to happen.

And ONLY the democrats supported this lunacy.

If seatbelts work how come people die in car crashes?

No, you're subtly trying to move the goalposts. We were told that masks would stop the transmission yet CA has been in full mask and the numbers are off the charts rising.

Goalposts? You left the stadium. Link to a statement that masks would STOP transmission. You can’t. Masks reduce the likelihood of transmission as does social distancing. Reducing is not the same thing as eliminating. Unabated spread would be much worse. What are you even debating??

The fact is certain sectors of the economy are screwed until people feel they aren’t taking risks. Just like vacationing in Afghanistan isn’t illegal there just isn’t a large demand to go to unsafe places.

They already are masked up in CA and have been and yet the transmission continues to rise. You have no idea of what you're talking about other than pushing the liberal agenda. Bow down to your lib masters because that's all you know. Lol.

I think we are both on the same page that you have no idea what you are posting about.

The danger to business is spreading virus not the mandates to address it. People are choosing not to go out.

There is nothing closed in my Democratic Governor state of NC. We can pretty much do whatever. There are mask rules and capacity rules. I’ve seen very few restrictions impact business but I’ve seen businesses impacted because people are CHOOSING not to partake in riskier behavior.

Yea Cracker Barrel has less seating which impacts them on the weekend. Yes a small restaurant with about 7 tables is closing til they can open all 7. But the vast majority of everything is open except where low demand is killing them. Went to a bar the other day and waited for my sushi. There wasnt a wait nor was the bar crowded like it used to be... all cuz of customers not going out.

The danger to business is spreading virus not the mandates

Most folks want to live and not endanger their vulnerable relatives by contracting and spreading disease.

That means taking sensible precautions that include avoiding more risky venues until they no longer present a danger.

People exhibiting common sense until there have been sufficient vaccinations to eliminate the threat is a prudent reaction.

Don't go to the grocery store then

Spoken like a low information Trump voter. People are at grocery more actually rather than less since they aren’t going out. Are you retarded?

You call Republicans low information voters while supporting a party who wants to lower the voting age to 16.

How does that logic work?

Entirely off topic. Try again.

Lie.

What part of this is a lie? 6 of my daughter's co-workers tested positive, sending all 15 of her workgroup home for quarantine. She tested negative, and didn't get sick, but then she was mocked daily for never taking off her mask, and social distancing, and washing her hands. The people who mocked her and refused to wear masks unless required, were the ones who tested positive. She's picking up double shifts in their absence.

Common sense says "err on the side of caution". What does is cost you to wear a mast? Yes, they're a nuisance and they make my glasses fog up. But this is something I can do and I can control to help keep myself safe. I spent $4 on some washable cotton masks, and seldom go out other than shopping. I have a bubble with 6 other people in it, but we can't hang out during lockdown.

All of my friends have behaved similarly. But only one friend is in my bubble. The rest are family. All of my good friends are similar, regarding close bubbles. We connect via electronic devices, either one on one or groups. None of us has gotten the crud.

By this summer, we'll be ready for the new normal. I strongly suspect that masks will continue to be a part of lives for years to come, as part of that new normal.



I am weeks away from my vaccination. I think I can do this until then.

You are trying reason with people who say they think masks, hygiene and distancig were ... wrong?

If we had a society that could "solve" covid without a vaccine, we'd have jailed these folks. We did that a century ago

 

[Jarlaxle]

People are manic right now. People I respect are cracking under the pressure.

I know six people dead from the shutdown. (Not the virus, the overreaction.)

 

[Jarlaxle]

Covid can kill me. I don't want to die just yet. I intend to keep doing what I have been doing (wearing a mask, social distancing, avoiding crowds) until such time as I feel safe. If that makes me a 'sheep' so be it. At least I'll still be alive. Better to be a live sheep than a dead wolf.

Fine and dandy. Stay home. Stop demanding that everyone else stay home!

 

[Hellbilly]

1. I still go to work every day.
2. I don't make demands on anyone.

 

[Jarlaxle]

They have done a good job at putting the fear of God himself into people.

99%+ survivability and they have us locked down as if the Walking Dead were roaming the streets.
By this point we COULD have had herd immunity but instead we fucked around long enough to give the virus time to adapt and mutate.
Would more have died up to this point? Likely so
Would more have been saved in the long run by preventing suicides/overdoses and all the other social bullshit that the government has IMPOSED ON US? Likely so as well.

And now we're likely to get round 2 of the government mandates thanks to their own ineptitude.

And don't give me that herd immunity is not an answer bullshit because since the vaccine became a reality that's all they've talked about.

Instead we're gonna have a "Biden" response to it if the new strains make it here.

God help us

Was there something you wanted to do this year, that you did not get to do? "The government" made your life a living hell, or did you just hear how bad it was for other people? Only thing I missed out on was a couple of traveling vacations, which I did not skip for the government. I skipped because I did not want to take unnecessary risks moving to beach condos, or flying. Imagine, all that public misery and I didn't get to participate.

I had something I have been looking forward to for a year and a half cancelled...it may never happen again. (The 2021 event was also cancelled.) My neighbor lost his business (restaurant), his life's work, his life savings, and his house, and hung himself in October. I know at least 5 other people dead from the lockdown, all due to financial ruin caused solely by the shutdown.

Thanks for filling up the ICU beds and overflowing our hospitals.
Our health care workers thank you.

 

[Jarlaxle]

or in other words..99% survivability rate = 300,000 + deaths Obviously you were not one of the dead or you would not be here whining about measures to keep others alive.

Unless you are very old (75+), very sick (cancer, serious immune system problems, emphysema, COPD), or both, the survival rate is closer to 99.98%. The average age for death in Massachusetts is 81.

You mean the health care workers getting hours and work days cut all summer, because the hospitals were largely empty due to so many things being cancelled? (This is directly from not one, not two, but three nurses working at three different hospitals in two different states.)

Of course...the people who have severe problems because they could not get treatments they needed (little things like cancer screenings) will never be counted...
