I would guess he is referring to the fact many people test positive multiple times and get counted multiple times in some stats.
Sorry. Wasn’t clear. Covid is endemic. My estimate is that 50-70% of the world has been exposed. But the vast majority of people don’t get tested. Because they don’t have symptoms or they have light symptoms. And so case numbers mean nothing. Less than nothing actually. For example - I probably had it but have never been tested. I know far more people who believe they have had the Ro and haven’t been tested than those who have a confirmed case. GWB pushes a covid fear strategy that includes mask mandate and mass lockdown, which definitely don’t work.... probably because he has been short the market and is hoping for a repeat of Feb 2020. His theories are abject failures and his fantasies are sickening.
There's so much conflicting information out there. I know you guys all think its nuts... but f-it... as I said before... as soon as one's available to me... I'm taking the jab. And I'll still where a mask. And speaking of, that's the other thing. Say our actual case count is dropping. How do we know that cannot be attributed to mask usage? Everyone I talk to, family/friends etc, spread out across the US, most but not all concentrated east of the Mississippi.... tell me that EVERYONE is wearing a mask in stores, gas stations, wherever. My personal observations of societal norms atm... : 1) if you don't have a mask on you are viewed as some kind of (right out of the bible).. lepard 2) In the right setting at the wrong time, you might just be confronted by someone that wants to start a fight for no other reason than he/she is an idiot with nothing else to vent their overall anger at than the obvious... "this person isn't masked up". Their life sucks, but whatever. Its like angry drivers. 3)I'm seeing even the most die-hard of good ol boy rednecks playing the game. IE... masking up. Masks work. Maybe not a 100%.... but they work some. No one in the world is going to convince me otherwise. There's a lot of smart cats that post here, I'm not one of them.... but I have what the old dudes call "walking around sense". I think that is severely lacking here. "On both sides". It surprises me too. You guys, some of you at least, especially on the right.... I know damn well you have common sense too. Like I said... they may not work 100%, but there's no damn way they don't help at least... 15 to 20 percent. Its effing common sense.
Yeah no...masks are useless. Especially the way people wear them and the type of masks used...and because basically the science is in no way shape or form conclusive. For every pro mask study you have, i have one that says they aren’t useful. you know what else is 15-20% useful? Stuffing sliced onions up your nose and wrapping your head with cellophane. I wear a stupid fucking mask when required by businesses that I want to patronize ... I make sure my kids take off the stupid fucking mask as soon as possible. I call it a stupid fucking mask to my kids so they can understand how stupid it is. The few people I know who have caught the Rona in the last few months all wore masks, all the time. None of them had any serious case of the China cold ... because it’s not a serious disease for anyone under the age of 65-70. It’s just another respiratory virus that will be with us forever.
Nope. There's no way that the range and severity of the ability to disperse a saliva based virus (s) is not significantly reduced by a mask. It could be made out of a coffee filter. It doesn't matter. This is un-debatable. Ask yourself this... prior to Covid... why does everyone in an operating room wear a mask? And don't say "so they don't get blood in their face". The reason is... to not infect the schmuck laying on the table. The virus spreads via our spray. Masks inhibit that. Don't be a blockhead. ITS NOT THAT FUCKING HARD OF A CONCEPT TO GRASP. Pardon the caps and the language... but you need to know I'm about as far from a "sheep" (that just does what they're told)... as you can ever get. And exponentially so over most lilly white yes-men that post down here. I do whatever I want, when I want. If anyone would raise hell about a stupid concept... it would be me. Now all that aside.... masks significantly arrest the spray that every human being expels. Period. Case fucking closed.
Does the guy standing opposite you in the Baja Fresh have a massive gaping open wound? A surgeon cannot talk to those around him while operating on a gaping open wound without the risk of infection. The surgeon isn’t sick...the patient isn’t sick. But if you spit in an open wound...it can happen. This is the poorest example. Case still open.
This is how herd immunity is achieved. The more cases the better. Because the population will get immuned faster.
