There’s a REASON the chicoms still shut down 100M+ people over this virus.

if it only killed the old and sickly china would be putting it in the water supply there.

Last summer ‘masks were freedom’ and used by HKers to defeat facial recognition cameras in HK.

They worked well enough that the PLA/HK police passed an ‘anti mask law’.

HKers wore the masks ANYWAYS. And continued to do so all last fall and this winter and spring.

Oddly enough, HK hasn’t been ‘eaten up with CV’ in spite of PLA/CCP actively importing contagious cases for months back in Jan/Feb.

“The SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 expression of maternal-fetal interface and fetal organs by single-cell transcriptome study”

“The biophysical and structural evidence showed that SARS-CoV-2 bind ACE2 with higher affinity than SARS-CoV, which suggested that SARS-CoV-2 might have more possibility to attack placenta[36] The published cases so far are quite limited and are restricted to women developing SARS-CoV-2 infection in third trimester (late pregnancy stage). It is still crucial to pay special attention to pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 in early stage, during which the virus may affect the function of placenta and increase the risk of miscarriage.”

Completely funny and not virus related at all. (Ok, it involves china but that’s the only similarity)

Add pregnant women to another “high risk group” that should stay home so I can do what I want.

Risk of severe illness or death:

70 million obese
34 million diabetics
121 million heart disease
20 million over 70
24 million COPD
6 million pregnant women

And let’s not forget the hospitalization risk group
34% of the population is over 50

And the sterilization risks
54 million men between the age of 20-50

And the healthcare workers, some 60k sick/300 deaths

And the nearly 1 million first responders.

And of course everyone is at risk for long term lung, kidney and heart issues.

Walmart has teamed up with “Thread Up” and is now selling second hand clothing. Weird, huh. Could it be because they’re not getting new clothing from China?

And, let's not forget the elephant in the room, "showing some characteristics of viruses causing chronic infection”.

If it's a chronic long term condition and it doesn't kill you in the acute phase what's that mean for you long term and your health degrades and you age?

18% of our county’s cases were/are teens and 20s. That says a lot.

Thanks all for the kind doggie thoughts.

Shhh, that’s not on the msm talking points.... yet. Wait until closer to November when it’ll become Trump’s fault.

It’s culture shock when you go from FR to Facebook. The level of discourse is fathoms below on FB.

I see people I’ve thought of as conservatives falling for the propaganda line all over that site now. If I read “if you’re afraid, stay under the bed” or “don’t infringe on my right NOT to wear it” one more time, I’m going to go on a Facebook Fast.

The good slogans, like “We’re all in this together,” they heap scorn upon. No public spirit whatsoever.

While WE play ‘quarterly earnings reports’, the Han are playing ‘who lives to be an ancestor’.

That would be an affirmative.

And the reason WE stocked up on winter coats, shoes and undies back at the beginning of Feb.

(not going to wear secondhand undies, i’ll make bloomers first)

The ‘exterminate the right wingers’ program is succeeding beyond their wildest dreams.

And right wingers are helping them.

10 years from now they’ll all be wondering why their kids and grandkids are having to live in a fertility clinic to have a kid or two.

Or why their 20yr old grandson can still sing for the Vienna Boys Choir...

I get the pushback against sweeping lockdowns and vaccines (especially when targeted closures, testing and contact tracing is shown to work, I,e, Singapore)...

I don’t get the pushback agains masks. It’s a simple harmless measure that works. It’s not really that hard to learn to don and doff properly. It’s not even that hard to walk away from people and take a breather. It is nothing to throw a mask on and run in a store. I wear a mask every day when DH and I do chores together. Even in 90 degrees working in the garden I haven’t had my O2 drop, (yes, I’ve checked). My son has asthma and has no problems (he wears one in the car with my husband). I’m not going to shame anyone in public for choosing not to wear one, but I still don’t understand it. What are they trying to prove?

Just because you can do something (my rights) doesn’t mean it is the right thing to do.

This seems to be a formula they use for everything. Keep releasing "news" on all sides of the issues that produce confusing headlines.

If the CDC, WHO, and Fauci say masks aren’t needed, that’s my clue I’d better wear them, Just sayin’
