A sign posted on the door of Downtown Deli & Catering in downtown Sandusky states that if customers are without a mask, staff will assume they have a medical condition and do not need to wear one
They seem to get it.
I’m sure it’s a very lovely town with great people... but maybe they should consider changing the city’s name.
There’s a sign just like that in New Ringgold PA.
The truth: positive tests are rising, and people don’t care because they’ve learned that the risk of serious illness is small.
Thumbs up
It's obvious Dr. Hamed didn't get his doctorate in English.
“Skepticism” about masks? You mean the actual science around them? Everyone wearing one lessens they transmission rate by .7 to 1.5 percent. That’s it.. that’s the actual science.
Realizing masks do nothing isn’t skepticism it’s fact.
The author of the article is a liar and pushes debunked positions like they were universal truths.
Dr. Hamed literally does not know what literally means.
Pure propaganda. If it weren’t in Michigan, I’d consider moving there. But I would not want to live in a state that elected a lunatic like that female they call governor.
I’ll use this opportunity to give a shout out to Marlette Michigan. Go Red Raiders!
As long as the new positive cases are treatable, it is a good thing to have high numbers for that means there are more people carrying the anti-bodies. The sum total of those vaccinated and those with the anti-bodies from positive testing should make for herd immunity. But then, I am neither a scientist not media personality, what do I know!!!
There is a "safe" level of COVID-19 now?
Hey Gretchen, maybe this time don't intentionally infect the elderly. Then it will remain manageable.
Yupers or Trolls?
“Current trends upend the idea that communities simply need strategies to protect the elderly and those with serious health conditions, Hamed said. “’The fact is, we’re seeing a lot of otherwise healthy people get very sick. So it’s no longer just about protecting the vulnerable.’”
Wrong, that is still the best strategy for saving lives.
“These communities are literally on fire,” said Dr. Mark Hamed, public medical director...

Dr Hamed is literally a moron.
“...The region also has an eye-popping 32% positivity rate as a seven-day on coronavirus diagnostic tests, more than six times the level considered safe....”

Well, they are in the vanguard of communities achieving herd immunity. Note that they talk about “positivity rates” at an outcome measure of diagnostic test results and not about those who are actually symptomatic. I’m assuming many families in this patriotic area have gotten their aged and infirm immunity by vaccination. The young (including “kinda young”) and healthy are rarely seriously affected by COVID-19 beyond obtaining actual immunity.
A big concern is that COVID-19 variants seem to be spreading infection more rapidly and causing more serious illness.

Congratulations to the government nitwits who mandated the lockdowns. You succeeded in killing off the less virulent form of Covid so the more virulent could survive. Now instead of people being infected with a mild strain, they can be infected with strains that are more capable of evading lockdowns. For an analogy, think overprescription of antibiotics.
