Those aren’t hard statistics, but I would tend to believe you.

Where the epidemic hit hardest and “close to home,” with co-workers and friends and family falling like flies, there was more compliance and possibly greater impact of the recommendations.

In the more sparsely populated areas, I would believe there was less.

You have many widely varying experiments in nations and states that tend to confirm that.

Many people in important jobs can’t work at home because of security concerns.

I’ve been to Aldi’s twice in the past few weeks, no mask either time. Nothing was said to me either time. Went to a little upscale market with no mask, nothing said to me.

Where do you find statistics on what wasn’t tested?

In NYC it’s quite different. They won’t serve you if you don’t have a mask on.

I agree about the danger of masks, by the way. I don’t wear it while walking outdoors 6 feet or more away from everyone, especially with the Hudson Hawk blowing.

“what wasn’t tested” — I don’t understand what you mean.

Oh? Did he quit after 99% of his predictions failed?

“Their minds are gone.”

True, if there was any to begin with which is in question. Sad.

:: 99% of his predictions failed? ::

Still, that is just a statement from a skeptic.
No evidence.
Holds no water.

Dismissing the opinions of skeptics without examination is another typical behavior of cult members. Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

Huh?

I asked for evidence so that I might examine and you tell me that asking for evidence is confirmation of your point?
Your socialist-argument style doesn’t fly.

You referenced a “list” of failings.
Where is this list?

What wasn’t tested was What would have happened without the recommendations of our federal health officials?

The lefties own the social science. They know just how to manipulate the masses.

Yep.

That is exactly my point! Iceland and Sweden have largely rejected the recommendations and went about their daily lives. Various U.S. States have taken more draconian (NY, IL, NJ, GA) and far more lenient (SD) approaches. We have lots of data on differing levels of lockdown. The results generally suggest that the lockdowns were a waste of time and precious resources.

Oh, so your one word with a question mark behind it was a request for evidence? Might want to make that more clear next time. Anyway, go refer to post #7, that already lists some of Q’s “greatest misses”.

Here, let me clear:

Please answer this simple question.
On what day of the week does Winnie the Pooh meet Wile E. Coyote in a bar and entice Jessica Rabbit to strip bare?
Simple answer, if you know it.
