I understand that the dirty little secret about this whole thing is the most common comorbidity is obesity. Which is a serious problem on its own in the US.
I suggest to everybody they lose a few pounds, rather than force me to wear a mask. FWIW, I’m 6’1”and in 1997, weighed 245 lbs. I lost 55 lbs in 12 weeks on the prism diet. It changed my life. I’m 66 and the health benefits have stayed with me. Obesity kills more people than smoking, even without this virus.
I’m a bit of a fanatic on the subject now. And back in the 60’s and early 70’s, when I was in public school, we traveled around a lot (my dad was a contractor working at various military facilities around the western US). Every school I went to had maybe one - or two - fat kids and that was it. It was an anomaly. Nowadays, it is the normal condition for a huge portion of the student body.
When I moved to KY I saw the high school kids coming out of school one day and thought to myself, “Holy cow. Any HWP girl in this class has a leg up on the rest of the girls for finding a guy. Our culture is poisonous, and viruses like this just cull the herd of the weak.
Fortunately, that “weakness” is mostly old age - which gets us all one way or the other. And the reason so many or over reacting to this is that this is not the Christian nation it once was. For most, this life is all there is so they want to extend it at all costs. Forget the degradation in Quality. Just fear, fear, fear anything that even remotely might end it. And then force the rest of us to wear masks.
To quote Jordan Peterson: “I’m not doin’ it.”
And I don’t. I adhere to strict social distancing rules from way back: 18”
Yes, I know.
I used to be a libertarian.
They are so sure about EVERYTHING.
At least let people make up their own minds about what the data shows.
...contagious but asymptomatic which we are finding out now is BS.
__________________________________
The information was available early on. Those of us saying detection is not infection and questioning asymptomatic transmission were condescended to, called names and in general, became cancellation targets, up to and including public assaults.
Just like questioning recycling, which everyone admits just makes them feel better about themselves, the self-esteem and peer-esteem buttons were hit hard and often.
Some of the fearbros have vanished. Some have switched topic. Others are hoping no one remembers. Still, they face themselves in the middle of the night and the flop sweat may keep them warm as they buy into whatever the next edict might be over the winter.
Masks prolong the scamdemic. Recycling costs more, creates more toxins and defiles the earth more than secure landfill disposal. We all need to eat a peck of dirt, encounter pathogens and create some solid waste before we die and it has always been thus.
If masks are stopping the most dangerous virus, how come there are no contaminated hazardous waste receptacles everywhere??
Where are people putting all that hazardous waste, from contaminated snot rage masks to wipes??
I am finally beginning to see face mask trash cans at the exit of my local grocery stores. I think they got tired of seeing so many on the ground in the parking lots.
That is a pretty cool site. I wish I could trust their death numbers since the CDC admited those numbers reflect people who died with CV19 rather than from it.
“Dead wrong”
Yes, correct —YOU ARE DEAD WRONG. You apparently did not read the article. Masks are not effective. Look at the chart in the Financial Times article and tell me that Sweden did not make the right decision! As one of the articles points out masks are, “all psychological, not physiological. .......fear spreads a lot faster than the virus.
You wear your face diaper if you honestly believe it is right. But, kindly don’t ask me to do the same.
To be clear, in late August, Governor Holcomb extended the mask mandate another month that he first implemented in late July.
My only problem is that if the Democrat opponent is elected, Indiana will be in even worse shape going into the future.
...filters and also something like a light scan you go through.
______________________________________
About $100 on Amazon for a filter w/optional UV-C for 200 square feet. 55 watts + 5 watts for the light. I can see less smoke residue on surfaces, which I clean regularly, anyway.
As a smoker, I use one in my office. Occasionally, when windows are otherwise closed for weather reasons, I use ozone in the office and the filter out in the living room, if I am smoking there. Exhaust fans when necessary. Windows open if possible.
This is easily done, obvious and common sense. But it doesn’t inculcate fear or activate peer pressure, so it is ignored.
They might be smarter than you assume.
If I were inclined to voluntarily wear a mask I wouldn't take it off until I had a way to safely dispose if it and wash my hands immediately. If I couldn't do both those things, or if I didn't have a fresh mask to replace the one I just removed, I'd leave the dang thing on, too.
...if the Democrat opponent is elected, Indiana will be in even worse shape going into the future.

How many Chicago refugees are in Indiana, especially NW Indiana?
Those are not CDC numbers.
There are lots, but I don’t have the numbers. My experience is anecdotal, but people have been fleeing Chicago and coming to Indianapolis for years. You can tell because they are big Chicago sports team fans.
So now they are increasing their chances of getting the WuFlu.
Wow, you’re really good at missing the point. And I’m not impressed by your reference to “first order differential equations”. I took three semesters of calculus in college, but it isn’t relevant to a discussion over whether face diapers are or are not effective or necessary.
The difference between a reactor going out of contral and being shut down is a difference .01% in exponentiation rates. That is why masks matter. It takes a very tiny difference in rates of spread to make a huge difference in outcomes.
I just had surgery in a hospital that “requires” masks on patients and staff. I took mine off as soon as I got to my room and only wore it when out in the common areas. No-one chided me or made any mention of it.
