Better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission.

Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said in an interview with Healthline published Friday that the country can stop the Chinese coronavirus “in its tracks” if everyone wears a mask until more are vaccinated.
Healthline asked the CDC director if she agrees with former CDC director Tom Frieden’s estimation that “we could get to 200,000 new cases a day.”
“I’ve seen modeling data. Some of the modeling data do go up that high. Not all of them do. Do I think it’s possible? Yes, I think it’s possible,” she said.
“What I do want to reiterate, though, is a unified approach as a country would stop this [pandemic] in its tracks. We know what we need to do to stop this virus. It can fall short of many of the things we had to do last year. Do I think we all need to stay home right now? I do not,” she continued before pitching masks as a crucial mitigation strategy.
“But if we are able to get the vast majority of people vaccinated and if, in the meantime until they are fully vaccinated, we had everybody wearing masks, we can stop this in its tracks and really be in a way better place in a relatively short period of time,” she added.
It remains unclear why she believes this action would stop the virus “in its tracks,” given the mass spread of the virus last year, particularly in heavily restricted blue states which had mask mandates in place for months on end.

I do not recognize as president anyone I would not trust with my 8-year-old son or daughter.
Wasn’t Biden’s “plan” to get COVID under control to wear masks for the first 100 days of his Presidency? How’s that working out? Didn’t he promise us we might even be able to have a cookout this past 4th of July? Well...where are we now? What’s his current plan?
That’s what she said. How did she get to be in such a position?
Is the curve flattened yet?
That the head of the CDC — a self-proclaimed “medical expert” — truly believes wearing a mask will stop transmission of the communist chinese virus (or any respiratory virus for that matter) has demonstrated publicly and clearly why nothing she says about “medical science” (i.e., political science) should be given even a moment’s consideration.
Phuque no.
Sitting at the poker table with a 2 & a 6 & looking for a straight.
When they say “follow the science” what they really mean is “follow our bullsh!t”.
Just “two weeks” to slow the spread.
These people need to re-read “The Boy Who Cried Wolf!”. No one is paying any attention to what they say.
Ha!
There was a warning that any and all variants, stealthed or not, were verboten, a while back.
You sneaky thing, you.
;D
*fook
Amen...more CDC bullsh*t.
Funnel that anger into prepping more heh.
Better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission.
A rule to live by, for sure.
:D
Try it in German Salamander. “Fick dich’’. That’s ‘’Go f yourself’’.
The F word is on the tip of many of our tongues.
Sometimes no other word can describe that emotion.
Is the F word still banned here?
***********
It still gets used a lot in some form of spelling. Society is
changing as it always has. Good or worse we’ll find out.
Both are the same.
Even sounds nasty in German!
