it's NOT FUCKING FUN.

neither is the flu, which kills 500,000 people every year worldwide, but we don't shut down the entire world because of it.

The rest of the world is opening back up, but Americans are too self-centered to wear masks. And we can apparently politicize anything.

No one with any sense thinks we can actually stop the virus. The idea is to keep the infection rate low enough for hospitals and medical suppliers to keep up. No one wants to lose Grandma to something that would be survivable if the system isn't overwhelmed.

the virus is 0.125 microns big, N95 masks, which nobody uses, protect down to 0.3 microns. essentially all you are doing when wearing a mask is creating a swamp of saliva around your face so you can spread covid into the wind. masks are just symbology for the cattle to prove to the cabal that we can be easily manipulated.

do your research before you regurgitate MSM propaganda.

The virus isn't free floating, it travels in water particles. You're saying that the masks trap the particles and spread them at the same time, which makes no sense.

and what do you think happens when you have worn the same mask for months straight? i sincerely doubt that americans have changed their mask every day for the past few months. they are filled with bacteria and viruses assuming they are positive. when you continue to breathe on the mask coated in your saliva do you think it just continues to build? it has to go somewhere, and that somewhere is out into the air because nobody wears form fitting masks.

You must hang out with nastier people than I do, because most people I know do laundry on a regular basis.

You won't win against these retards mate.

Retards? The ones using science rather than anecdotal opinions? The wearing of masks is clearly not about stopping a disease but rather getting people used to taking new controls. You can wear a ski mask, silk mask, wooven mask, all which do nothing and everyone would be happy you are compliant. If it were about stopping a disease none of those would be acceptable.

I have yet to see any actual science in this sub. It's all baseless assertions backed up by conspiracy blogs and Youtube talking heads.

[–]jonah 7 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

so not only do you not switch masks, you break them down by washing them with all your other clothes? and you still think you are protecting people from covid lol

Thanks, you've just proved my point :)

either you can't read or you have no argument. continue to virtue signal. it will get you nowhere with your lack of critical thinking skills

You still talking?

yes nigger i am. post an argument or go back to watching cnn

[–]Red23 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Please refer to my previous comment about not being able to win against retards.

[–]GConly 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

The virus is carried in water droplets you moron. The masks will stop the infected breathing those over other people.

[–]jonah 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

open your fucking eyes, you are being lied to. the vast majority of the american public lacks the ability to understand symbolism, here is a wikipedia article so you can get up to speed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolism_(arts)

A water particle is able to go down to <60 microns. your piece of shit shred of cloth is not meant to protect down to that level. here is a webpage so you can understand the clinical applications of spray pesticides and the particle sizes they use. https://pesticidestewardship.org/pesticide-drift/understanding-droplet-size/ your hot dragon breath isn't coming out of that hole in your face you call a mouth like rain drops. it comes out in an extremely fine mist. you are spreading covid while simultaneously wearing a symbol of compliance, and are convinced of the complete opposite.

No one in Sweden is wearing a mask right now either, but deaths per day keeps dropping lower and lower. And no one is chastizing them. This is political targeting against Americans.

The problem is not Americans refusing to wear masks, in fact America has no special problem with COVID. Many countries in Europe had it just as bad. Now we are simply seeing an increase in positive tests, along with an increase in overall testing and a decrease in deaths.

Let's ruin millions of people's lives so Grandma MIGHT live a few months longer, yes yes.

You can look at the number of deaths and compare it to the numbers a typical year, i.e. deaths caused by e.g. the flu. Way more people are dying this year than during a flu season, and this despite extreme measures keeping the infection rate relatively low compared to what it would be if it was allowed to spread as freely as the flu.

There are more people on Earth this year than last year, the (non-white) population is growing, so of course there are more dead. Flu numbers fluctuate too.

[–]jelliknight 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

The coronavirus has already killed more people than that, and we're only halfway through the year, and it's still accelerating.

You need to update your conspiracy theory.

Cancer+virus=CORONA DEATH

Meningitis+virus=CORONA DEATH

Flattened by a steamroller+virus=CORONA DEATH

---see how that works?

[–]jelliknight 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

More people are dying total (some nice simple graphs for you here). What's your explanation for that? Everyone just got SUPER unlucky and really sick all at once, at the exact same time this new virus started spreading?

[–]StBlops2cel_is_Lord 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

People die every day for all kinds of reasons. This latest bullshit is not justification for shutting down the entire world, that is the whole point.

[–]GConly 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

My 18yo daughter had it. It's way worse than flu. She's a healthy athlete, she ended up on oxygen briefly.

Mortality from flu is about 0.1%, mortality from Covid about 0.5%.

We don't grind to a halt with flu because most of the at risk population gets vaccinated so the number of deaths per annum from it is a fraction if what it would be of it was running rampant like Covid is right now.

[–]StBlops2cel_is_Lord 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

For all you know she had the flu, AND tested positive for the dread Corona-chan. This is NOT the big bad boogeyman disease the [media] makes it out to be. Millions have lost their jobs, businesses have closed forever, countless people will lose their homes, but because your daughter had a cold you think it's all worth it.

[–]GConly 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I really doubt it.

[–]noice 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

IFR is estimated between 0.1 and 0.4, and that's across all ages. For people under 70 it's something miniscule like 0.05.
