Put slits in your mask

A good portion of America is terrified of Covid and BLM/Antifa. It was all by design:terror works. It worked for Lenin,Hitler,Stalin and Mao among every other blood thirsty revolutions.

Nope. Belng lied to now. Masks do nothing for your personal safety

You didn't read it. Clearly. And yes, I have. There are outliers all over the planet.

Sweden was the pariah, an example used to pillory critics of the lockdown (e.g. my article citations). Pariah, that is, until last Thursday. I believe that Trump was also following the trend of deaths/million U.S. vs. Sweden and that that is the rationale for the shift in policy from the WH. If you search for anything on that statistic I cite in my article, I am the only one on the planet to have made citation of that milestone thus far. Gee: I wonder why.../s

So you're suggesting that it's Ok to play whack-a-mole and permit extrajudicial, tyrannical and, in fact, fascist mandates carte blanche approval?

Even if that's not your intent, the result is the same and you totally miss the point of my argument (which is, in part, self-inflicted on my part trying to keep the word count down for submission elsewhere...which didn't happen).

For example, if you sort the Worldometer list by deaths and highlight those states which have mask mandates (in red), it becomes patently clear that masks have ZERO effect upon spread of SARS-CoV-2.

It's clear that government mandates - illegal and scientifically/medically unjustified at that - have no basis and should end immediately, adopting a much different approach to protect those most at-risk.

To assert otherwise mandates a label of CCP "propagandist/agent."

You may as well compare the US death per million to chaotic Italy which is at 588.

[dennisw]

I already posted these numbers but how do these nations with comparable standard of living as the USA stack up on Covid deaths per million?

I know for sure that Germany got locked down. Same for Japan for a while. Australia has severe paranoia so is very locked down at the moment. Norway was locked down for a while.

Denmark-108
Finland-—61,
Norway—50
on Worldometer — https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Also
Germany— 112
Sweden -— 577
USA —— 582
Canada ——242

Deaths per million
New Zealand -— 5
Australia—— 29
Japan -— 11

Exactly.

[gleeaikin]

Sweden and several European countries have had high death rates. On the other hand a number of European countries have had rather low death rates. For example, check at Worldometers, Covid-9, and compare Sweden versus Denmark—big difference. It would be good to determine how the countries with low death rates compare with those with high rates. Is it HCL or related meds, masking, social distancing, closing businesses, etc. Excepting Italy and Spain that were hit hard before we knew much about the disease or its spread.

[gleeaikin]

Don’t forget US figures were skewed high because of the heavy early death rates in NY, NJ, Conn., Mass., and now Louisiana each having more than 1,000 deaths per million. They suffered from the airport arrivals of people from Italy and other places which were already suffering cases, but were not being monitored and questioned like arrivals from China. What is also interesting is the fact that while Sweden now has 577 dead per million, Norway has only 49, and Finland 61, while directly across the water Denmark has 108. Lockdowns and masking were proving effective in the US, once we determined their effectiveness and had enough masks available.

Your premise is without merit on the basis of actual stats on the ground: The table provided would be weighted red toward the bottom if that held any truth whatsoever. Lockdowns only delayed the inevitable, at incredible cost, saving no lives whatsoever. That’s Farr’s Law.

Fail. Try again.

I fail to understand the irrational logic applied by supposed Conservatives when it comes to masks/facial coverings. The Spanish Flu did not end because of masks: It ended because the population reached herd immunity and it died out. The same will bear out here with outliers around the planet, such is the epidemiology of viruses...if we survive the ‘cure’ until there’s a vaccine for those most at-risk (the healthy will reach herd immunity regardless in spite of masks, but masks will delay the inevitable).
