Everyone Everywhere is Wearing a Mask In Public.

    This week it was reported that several US states that had escaped relatively unscathed from Covid but weren't taking to mask wearing were the fasting growing infection rates in the country.

    I will just go with sane logic when it comes to the benefits of wearing or not wearing a mask. Do you need science to really tell you what just looks logically obvious?

    What the hell are talking about?

    You are trying to rewrite history here.
    I was always against lockdowns of the low risk group in any area where there were open hospital beds.

    I predicted Canada would see the virus go up after lockdown... it has.
    You were the one trying to tell us Canada was wonderful and you were making comparisons to California and other states. I told you I am not here to defend lockdowns anywhere.

    In particular, I wrote Newsom was an idiot and the harder you lockdown the harder the virus comes back. I said he was a moron for having open borders and thinking lockdowns would work.

    I was never in favor of what we did in California or anywhere in the states where we had a lockdown in the absence of a hospital bed crisis.
    The virus is inevitable when you are open, its futile to hide the low risk from it.

    Finally, you moron.
    I was being healthy for myself and others.
    There is no evidence the virus spreads at the beach you dumb fuck.
    Try getting some science.

    Do you understand there is no evidence of airborne transmission.
    Do you realize what that means?

    And soccer practice is part of the economy you fool.
    We pay over 200 bucks a month for my daughter's team... we buy uniforms, cleats, equipment, balls, we buys gas, we fix cars, purchase tires... that is the economy you fucking stupid idiot.

    Did you go the Marx/Lenin school of economic indoctrination?

    I don't personally believe in this big hoax but I still wear a mask in stores that want me to wear a mask. If they tell me I have to wear a monocle and top hat to shop there I will because it's their store and they get to make the rules. I have the choice to not go in there if I'm that bothered.

    In big cities pretty much every store will let you order on an app and bring your stuff out to you if you don't want to wear a mask. Small towns don't enforce the mask so they have no problems

    I agree.

    I am in California... I have to wear a mask in stores and I do.
    I have to wear a mask indoors unless I am eating.
    I also traveled on planes. I kept the a mask on the plane and in the terminal unless I was drinking or eating... like everyone else.

    I know, however, that wetsuits don't stop me from getting wet and masks don't stop droplets from getting in unless they are very tight and non porous.

    (Since I like to breath in some oxygen and I choose masks which allow me to breath as I would say 99% of the people do) I know my mask will never be that tight and non porous.)

    So the real protection comes from maintaining the distance in which droplets would fall and not allowing a sick person to hack on me over a period of time.

    For healthy people all you have to do is keep your distance droplets (the students tell us the droplets fall within one meter) , wash your hands don't touch your mouth and turn away when people could be spewing droplets on you.

    You are evading the question again, as you did many months ago. I'm not surprised because answering it would require you admitting that Canada's approach to Covid was a very good one. You just go on meaningless rants and ignore the data.

    So much so that you suggested in another post that Canada was having a huge increase in Covid issues ( your exact words " Covid infections are exploding" in Canada) ; apparently you didn't do any research before you made such a claim. If Covid is exploding in Canada well then even the improved Covid numbers in many parts of the US are much worse then "exploding". You go ahead pick a term what's 20 times worse then "exploding" :) ?

    When you claim keeping kids soccer leagues open "is the economy" you just look stupid. It's a incredibly dumb theory that shows you will say anything to excuse your selfish behavior. But we already knew that didn't we.

    Keep being dumb spouting shit online. I don't care. It exposes you for who you are as a person. Selfish and on some levels ignorant. It is what it is.

    There are some subtleties at work now. The grocery store, for instance. You pull your mask up when entering the store but pull it down while shopping then pull it back up when checking out.

    The mask Karens don't seem inclined to flip out over that. Just chipping away at this stupidity one bit at a time.

    I also see many wearing their mask *below* their nose. The mask Karens don't seem to mind that either so far. I either wear the mask properly or I pull it down under my chin.

    Its clear masks won't go away by decree, their use will be eroded more and more widely until they simply aren't seen.

    I told you, you fucking idiot... I told you check worldometer.
    here I will do it for you..

    Canada's approach sucks like almost every other lockdown state.

    There are only 2 useful long term approaches. Total lockdown and no travel til we have a vaccine or or lockdown the high risk and let the low risk out.


    you were shutdown... you opened...
    now cases are exploding...
    click on the 7day moving average and look at that shape of that average it going up sharply.

    And yeah there are also places in the U.S. where the curves are similar.
    That is what happens, this is a virus, you fucking idiot.
    I keep telling you, you can't hide from it.

    You have to let your low risk group out and get herd immunity..
    Then eventually the herd immunity will allow the high risk to come back out.

    Going into lockdown just prolongs the process and extinguishes some of the antibodies in the low risk group...
    Lockdowns are only useful for this virus during an ICU bed crisis.

  9. From what I understand it's the colored people that have made covid so dangerous in the US. They are supposedly dying at a higher rate. Are there any colored people in Canada?

    Now, there is a common complaint of extreme liberals, especially, blacks that the Corona Virus hits blacks and hispanics disproportionately? Maybe, because they are part of the riots most times and have no social distancing, some wear masks, others do not but, safe to assume they are sharing drugs and needles too. Of course, when you have the riots covered, all liberal media says is how peaceful the riots are even though, businesses are burning and being looted? No mention of Corona Virus being spread by the rioters.
