I'm not personally against masks, even if they don't work as some claim there is value to the peace of mind doing something, anything provides. I have a bad knee that causes a lot of pain and I do a lot of shit for it that isn't effective, but it's much better to try something and fail than to sit there and take it. So I'd be for masks either way. I get it.

But in my area we all wear masks, it hasn't made covid go away and we've been doing it since March. That alone is not fixing it. We did the masks, we did the lockdowns, we're looking at another lockdown. I'll let other people argue whether or not that's a good idea, but it's obvious to see it's not the Alpha and Omega of covid. That alone won't end it.

"we have to do something" is a terrible frame of mind. Decisions have consequences, and the data shows lockdowns have consequences. Drug overdoses are way up. Suicides are way up. Domestic violence is way up. Death by starvation worldwide is way up. Those are a direct effect of the decision to lock down.

"I have to do something about this knee pain! I know, I'll smoke crack! I feel so much better knowing I'm doing something, and it does help with the pain!"

I'm sad seeing the childlike view of the left. "We have to destroy everything to deal with the latest thing I'm freaking out about!"

6 months before covid we had the same people arguing for the same measures to deal with global climate change. They don't care about the ultimate consequences of dealing with their cause of the day, thinking of all that is too much work.

Um, maybe it's because people are partying, not wearing masks when it's not required and doing other dumb stuff that defies common sense?

They asked people to stay apart for 2 weeks and you fucking couldn't do that. Numerous other countries followed the rules and their numbers are way down except for dumbfuck America.

Are Americans even seeing these numbers on these charts? It needs to be plastered everywhere.

I have a low grade fever right now, not covid symptoms, but even wearing masks isn't perfect. I've had several self imposed 2 wk lockdowns because of shit like this and I'm going on another one rn now bc of that. My Thanksgiving is going to suck, but whatever, I don't want to get other people sick.

I'm not against masks or lockdowns but it's just not enough. It isn't working.

Dude, for the last time, it worked in other countries that took it seriously. That's all you fucking hicks have to do, stay home and wear masks FFS. This is on you guys, man up and fucking own it.

Bagano1:

I'm a loyal American and have pride in my country

Also Bagano1:

That's all you fucking hicks have to do

Likes what America provided him and his economic immigrant family. Doesn't like Americans. Uses racial slurs to describe Americans that made it possible.

You might wanna be a little more skeptical of what you believe.
