Yeah... because those "professionals" and "experts" have done such a fine job, right?
Fauci has tacitly admitted that they've withheld information to manipulate people. When honest early on, he stated that masks would be ineffective against Covid. He waffled a few times then started preaching masks. The results since... say he was right to start with. Masks have not stopped spikes. Masks have not slowed or mitigated spikes. But masks have been the central tenet of their "plan" to survive until the vaccines came out.... Vaccines that several of them including Fauci have a financial interest in.
High risk people probably should have had the vaccine by now or is the media making up the millions numbers ?Young people are MORE likely to get sick with Covid due to their higher risk behaviors. They are less likely to become severely ill or die from it, but that doesn't mean they don't spread it to others who are at higher risks.
To think that a virus that originated in the Wuhan province of China and spread around the entire globe in a few months can't be spread by the young is pretty dumb.
A positive test is different than getting sick. Studies have shown young people aren't the spreaders they were made out to be.

Except Fauci just came out and said that 3ft was acceptable in a classroom. LOL.
Yeah, I get that.Because it's going to continue to happen . Just like last year during spring practice. Tennessee has more strict rules than the rest of the SEC and it's bullsht
It's completely unscientific and anecdotal, but as a parent of a student on a college campus who was bracing for the dorm to be like a petri dish, I'm not sure that's true.Who exactly do you think they're getting sick from, genius? (hint, mostly each other)
And there's no study saying they can't spread to others either. Quit making $hit up.
That's a cute analogy, but terribly flawed and inaccurate. The masks that people are wearing are not closed systems. N95 respirators confer some protection, assuming proper fit. Very few people are wearing those. Most wear what is essentially t-shirt material in front of their mouths and nose. Not only is this inadequate filtration, but most of these fabric masks do not fit particularly well with gaps along the cheeks. Facial hair compounds the fit problem. A better analogy for your example is that you and the naked guy are both wearing pants made out fishnet material or screen door mesh. You're both getting wet. Better advice is to not stand around with a naked man.Let's break it down more.
You and some dude are standing there naked. He pee-pees and some splashes on you.
Let's say then you happen to be wearing pants. When he pee-pees, only a little gets on you.
Now, just for kicks, let's say both of you are wearing pants. He pee-pees...you stay completely dry!
See? That's how masks work.
Hmm, okay. Point well made.That said, I don't think we'll ever see our old "normal" again. That doesn't mean masks & social distancing per se, but it does mean changes like the increased demise of brick-and-mortar retailers and the growth of online delivery, workplaces changing from centralized locations to remote, the migration away from large cities and high-tax states, increased virtual education options, etc. I don't think we've any idea of the full impact of socio-economic changes coming our way but they'll be big, permanent, and have impact in nearly every aspect of life.

I wear masks, by the way, so no need for you to respond with a lecture. Unless it makes you feel better...which is incidentally the primary reason to wear a mask.
There’s no COVIDI still wear a mask when I go to crowded places, because (a) 5% chance you're not covered, even with vaccine (the best vaccines are 95% effective, not 100%), and (b) it reassures the people who haven't yet gotten the chance at a vaccine.
Costs me next to nothing to add that little extra bit of protection and significant (for some) extra reassurance. No-brainer.
This is a false dichotomy. It’s not all or nothing and it never was. That’s just a line fans of the nothing approach have sold you. If you look closely, you’ll see this same thing crop up over and over again. It turns out, in the real world, most slopes aren’t really all that slippery.It's the reality of the situation. Covid isn't ever going away, we can all either live in lockdown over it forever or we can get back with our lives. It's sad, but we can't keep forcing everyone to do this forever.
Whatever you wear over your mouth and nose, if it traps moisture, it reduces virus spread.That's a cute analogy, but terribly flawed and inaccurate.
