That’s one way to play the game. There’s an idiot on every corner.

Exactly. Why is this so hard to understand? If people would do the right thing, we wouldn’t have to take these measures. The people are complaining about masks are the same ones who hollered not to stop flights because of the economy, “it’s just the flu”, “it’s a hoax”, etc and “it only killed Asians”. Well, look where that has gotten us. With early border closures, testing and contact tracing, we would not have had to shut anything down masse. Our economy would have been much better off.

The pushback against early measures has led us to this point and pushback against masks will lead us to something worse. If people cannot even compromise on the simple, painless, selfless measure of masks and distancing, we are looking at more lockdowns and potential crashed healthcare.

They seem to think somehow this virus has changed. The government is trying to find a way to open up and be safe, to respect freedom while respecting the next persons right not to get sick. They have to balance not crashing healthcare with not crashing the economy. It is a not an easy job. But the anarchists on FR are saying they won’t comply with anything that helps their fellow man. They are literally ready for it all to burn down.

Crashing the healthcare will crash the economy. Millions of middle age people in the hospital will crash the economy. It’s not even about deaths. do these people not have kids or grandkids that they worry about becoming sterile?

IMO they are CCP agitators, liberals with extreme TDS, anarchists ready to throw off all laws, or they are ignorant. What they aren’t, are conservatives.

Understand this:

The elites want you dead. But first, they want your money.

However they have to accomplish that.

There’s a vaccine for influenza. If masks were effective for that (and they are) they wouldn’t sell as much vaccine.

It’s about profit and population reduction.

The ‘no mask’ policy drives the eventual mandatory vaccination policy.

You’ll be one of the ones sending out the national guard to force vaccinate refusers. Just so you can justify not wearing a mask...because ‘muh rights’ not to wear a mask are more important than someone elses right to refuse a vaccine.

You got that right.

Speaking of, I’ve been carrying a little friend this week. Something about those workmen have given me the heebie jeebies the last few days. They’ve been working on that ridiculous deck for six months but suddenly, these new ones... I dunno...

Killing off all the elderly helps with those Social Security and retirement checks. Everyone wins, except the dead.

"Those with two copies of the Δ32 allele in the CCR5 gene are 21 percent more likely to die by age 76, although it’s not clear why. “It is very interesting to see that the [increased mortality] effect was limited to the homozygous state,” says Hans-Peter Kiem, who studies gene therapy and transplantation at Fred Hutch, in an email. It’s possible that having one copy of the mutation offers the individual wider protection against disease than two copies of either allele and therefore may be the reason for its growing prevalence in the population."

We’ve been told by a poster that contact tracing is just this side of communist dictatorship.

Even though it’s been public health policy for centuries.

Testing, contact tracing and strict quarantine of the sick AND their contacts is why SK is open for business again.

Narcissists will prevent such an early/easy resolution for the US. Both government narcissists and civilian narcissists.

Getting rid of government liabilities is why Sweden is letting it go.

No efforts being made to really keep it out of their nursing homes, the workers are FORBIDDEN to wear masks or gloves or even use hand sanitizer. Because they don’t want to ‘frighten’ the residents. Washing their hands with soap is the only precaution allowed for the workers.

Also, nursing homes are FORBIDDEN to refer any residents to the hospital for CV symptoms. If you’re old enough/sick enough to be in a nursing home you’re death paneled. No treatments of any kind for you for CV.

I mean really, they have to find a way to pay for the ‘new immigrant 2nd wife’ and her 7 kids to live.

Ask yourself is this the same country now as it was then. I think you know the answer.

No. The CCP and PLA attacked us with a weapon of mass destruction and domestic enemies are taking advantage by sublimating reality and embracing risky behavior to continue the spread of the damage.

We are now at 26-9/11 attacks. Our domestic enemies deny we are at war and worse downplay the casualties.

Yes, things have changed. The Chicom supports are revealing themselves.

SSRN - Evidence Linking Ultraviolet-B (UVB) Radiation to Deaths Attributed to COVID-19

Interpretation: We find a significant effect of UVI in reducing COVID-19 deaths, indicating evidence of the protective role of UVB radiation in mitigating COVID-19 deaths. If confirmed via clinical studies, then the possibility of mitigating COVID-19 deaths via sensible exposure to sunlight or vitamin D nutritional intervention will be very attractive because it is cost-effective and widely available.

Previous studies have suggested that the CCR5-delta mutation was enriched in people of European descent and then passed down by the survivors of the Black Death which swept Europe in the 14th century killing up to a third of its population. It confers a survival advantage to those infected with HIV because HIV uses the CCR5 receptor to enter immune cells, explains Sherman.
