The hue and cry over covid vaccination is not necessarily over the vaccination so much as it is over a covid vaccination “passport” and it is not over the vaccination passport so much as it is the passport — government licensing of people, just like your auto license. The goal is digitized, chip implanted registration and control of the entire population.
Wow.
Less than 100 cases, out of nearly 11,000. Worldwide.
And the CDC turns that into “10%” risk of transmissions are from outdoors activities. Out of “conservative judgement”?
Less than 1% turns into 10%?
And we MUST TRUST these government hacks?
This is no worse than the flu...except for old people and the sick
Most people do not die from the virus..it is just present...
CDC is as useless as the GOP
“The NYT, however, reported the number is misleading...”
Right, because doctors and scientists need “fact checking” by journalism majors.
They took an oath.
The oath is more powerful than journalistic ethics.
I’m sorry, but this is MSM-quality research. So, there is “no documented case from outside.....”. Gimme a break. How do you expect me to believe anything but a controlled study on something like this? A dude walks around outside sans mask and then cuddles with his spouse later that day? Where were the controls?
Respiratory virii like Covid are small enough to fit dozens into a aerosol. An aerosol that can drift hundreds of yards, if not miles. A single aerosol bit can infect. You exhale hundreds of “bits” per breath. The numbers favor mass infection within early days of last year. But, haven’t seen it, have we?
The NY Times (unbelievable, I know) is publishing a lot of very good stuff about the failures of CDC and public health in general recently.
Outdoor transmission is idiocy and they have scared uneducated people into wearing masks outside, which is stupid.
They probably did some damn study where they aerosolized some measurable substance in a room and measured it over time and said “Oh, aerosolized pathogens stay in the air this amount of time...” and set everything off that.
I have a personal anecdote about this nonsense...I was walking on a rail trail near my house, and I don’t wear a mask outside, which you probably get from my statement above.
Won’t do it.
So, I am walking on the trail. The wind is probably gusting 15-20 mph, the trees are shaking, and I have my wireless earbuds in which I am having trouble hearing because the wind is interfering with the sound.
I see this woman on a bike coming towards me, and she isn’t wearing a mask. She starts fumbling around in a panic, trying to put her mask on, her bike weaving from side to side, and it occurred to me that she was going to wreck her bike and break her neck to get the mask on...for what?
Any particle of aerosol that might exit my respiratory system and navigate that swirling wind the four feet between us at that split second we pass to somehow land directly in her mouth, nose, or eyes...well...I might name that drop of aerosol “Houdini” if it could accomplish that.
And she was going to break her neck in panic to get her mask on. I don’t know her, she probably isn’t a stupid person, but...they have got people like her so charged with fear and misinformation (Never mind the ones who think they should abide by the CDC guidelines no matter how absurd) that they cannot do a rational risk assessment.
That’s just like my wife.
She is totally scared and afraid, terrified, of catching the virus......................
The slow knife is the deadliest................
The only massive infections we have seen is in places where people have been forced to stay indoors!..............
Sigh.
I have a marital difference of opinion on this as well, and she believes in wearing the mask outside and mandatory vaccinations.
I honestly believe that, in her case, it is two things: First, she is a rule follower (I am too, but not absurd rules) and second, she seems more concerned I will get it. She is a sharp and bright woman, but things like this put a divide between us, she clearly isn’t concerned about any political ramifications of COVID BS, it is personal safety thing for her.
When she wants to talk about it, I try to make it clear I am not interested in discussing it. When we go out, in my area, nearly 100% of the people (VBS,Very Blue State) wear masks including her, but...I simply won’t, and I think she has come to terms with it.
I work in a hospital, where I willingly wear it and got vaccinated because in Health Care, that is what I will do even if it only reduces transmission to one person out of a million, because...if I can contribute to even one person not getting sick in my hospital I will do it, because people come here to get better, not to get sick.
And I will wear it into any store or establishment that asks me to. I have the choice of not entering, which I often exercise.
But I WILL NOT WEAR IT OUTSIDE.
I think women are more susceptible to fear mongering manipulation than men are..................
I think the events in Wuhan, Bergamo, and New York City (and perhaps in Manaus, Brazil and New Delhi) are poorly understood, and that outdoor transmission UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS (extreme crowding, very high attack rates, and lots of sick people walking around) is not impossible.
Obviously, treating ten people at a girl's lacrosse game outdoors with a 10 mph steady wind, or you alone on your rail trail, is moronic.
But never say never.
I get that.
I am not saying in any way outdoor transmission is impossible, but it is a function of dosage, strength, and time.
I think that is true. Not a knock on women, I simply think they are wired differently than men biologically and are more disposed to that.
So, if I go outside, am I gonna croak and die or not??
You might croak if you are a frog....................
