China backs away from the border with India, then India gets these “new strains”. What timing.
Japan is part of the Far East surge this spring. The Japanese have been hailed for months for their "mask culture" even predating this virus. You'd be hard-pressed to find people more disciplined about wearing masks than the Japanese. Well, it "worked" until it didn't.
So Japan’s 7-day average is now nearing the highest level it’s been over the past year, despite 98% mask compliance
Why are the masks not working? Is anyone important going to ask this question or are we all going to keep ignoring reality because it contradicts the experts? pic.twitter.com/MjRQ1B5i4P— IM (@ianmSC) April 27, 2021
But we need not travel around the world to discover the obvious fact that it is natural phenomena, not human interventions, that are driving the cyclical and geographical spreads. All the experts warned that there would be catastrophe when nearly half the states got rid of their mask mandates, beginning with Texas and Mississippi two months ago, especially with the supposed new mutant variants. Yet at the same time, it was the northeastern states that spread much more severely as cases plummeted in the southern states and other non-masked states.
As you have heard - it has never been about wearing masks and health, but about control. We have learned people continue to be easily controlled. Safety over freedom prevails.
Someone wrote here that those blue paper masks like doctors wear and what’s handed out at stores are nothing but moisture barriers and that the COVID virus is so small it goes right through it; like a chain link fence trying to stop mosquitos.
I avoid restaurants, public indoor theaters and tourist traps now. ;) The home kitchen is more fast and efficient to use, and it’s really nice to lift weights, go for walks, have great dinners and watch movies at home.
