As long as the powers that be that foisted this train wreck of a reaction to a respiratory virus upon us are not made to pay for the carnage they’ve done, no we’ll not be past it. It will be in hibernation.So does this mean we're past, "COVID is no worse than the flu" stage in the (mis)information?
Mode most people it’s not. For the other 3% it is. So that statement can be both true and false. There is no yes/no answers to life if you’re truly honest with yourself. There are lots of maybes.So does this mean we're past, "COVID is no worse than the flu" stage in the (mis)information?

For the wife and I it was a strong flu. For her overweight diabetic uncle in his 70’s it was worse.
If your only true intention is to be an ass, please see yourself out. We have enough of those people in the world already. If you want to have an honest discussion please, I’m all for it. But this **** you’re doing? It’s only intent is to sow division and cultivate poor feelings for one another and it ****ing needs to stop.
I think the intention is to mock people who say things contrary to an irrational view that the world is very much like NPR says it is. That’s not to say all the claims are true. I think there is some disinformation being spread on the skeptical side of things too, but also there does seem to be some truth to the saying that the difference between a conspiracy theory and reality is about 6 months.Mode most people it’s not.

We're surrounded by "just do something" or "if it saves just one life" kinds of people out there.I think anyone who still believes that masks can end a pandemic is completely delusional at this point.

I saw that very early on. My outlook and advice was take a wait and see approach on an experiment. Not sure how people made it through 2020 and then thought it was a good idea to try the experiment.We're surrounded by "just do something" or "if it saves just one life" kinds of people out there.
Don’t get me started. I railed against “just do something” at the beginning of this. If you just do something when you don’t know anything yet it’s as likely that you’ll do more harm as it is you’ll get lucky and do some good.We're surrounded by "just do something" or "if it saves just one life" kinds of people out there.
Yep. My wife and youngest son found themselves on the receiving end of a mask-zealot bullying session up in Bloomington during the height of the stupidity. A lot of people that would love to be little Pol Potts (sp?) were uncovered in the last couple of years.The masks were always a huge control and conditioning mechanism. I'm sure there's been an epic amount of verbal beatdowns over that nonsense.
I knew we were in trouble when I started seeing people sewing together make-shift cloth masks to take to hospitals and nursing homes. I had a bad feeling people were swallowing this hook, line, and sinker. And I was right.Don’t get me started. I railed against “just do something” at the beginning of this.

The experts were wrong on just about every policy. Two weeks to slow the spread turned into many moths of lockdowns and lost income. Masks were always a point of futility but I’m sure there are plenty of JK’s out there still believing TPTB wouldn’t and haven’t lied to us. And then the worst, forcing people to choose between their jobs and getting a vaccine that the manufacturers lied about.
“just do something” is an attitude that empowers grifters and power seekers to fleece and subjugate them. Nah. Don’t just do something, stand there. Firm. Until a course of action becomes reasonable.
And I'm just over here likeI think anyone who still believes that masks can end a pandemic is completely delusional at this point.
Vaccines can end pandemics - for a given pandemic, and a given vaccine. Vaccines were never going to end this pandemic. IMHO because the virus is simply too mutable. They did serve (or could have served) a purpose, though, in helping to protect the most at-risk. But, they were too politicized, all around.Or vaccines.
What's this? Reason, and well thought out communication?Vaccines can end pandemics - for a given pandemic, and a given vaccine. Vaccines were never going to end this pandemic.

I know. I should probably take a public stance on the pineapple-on-pizza debate, so I fit in better...What's this? Reason, and well thought out communication?
What are you doing here?
When we were told that covid was primarily spread by droplets, and not through the air, the rationale behind even the cloth masks seemed plausible. But as soon as it was evident that the spread is primarily aerosolized, well that ended any plausible claim that cloth masks could be of any use.I knew we were in trouble when I started seeing people sewing together make-shift cloth masks to take to hospitals and nursing homes.
