Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[Tyler Durden]

It isn’t founded in science and it’s virtue signaling bull **** or statist conformity, gets back to state of mind of the idiot doing these stupid unnecessary acts.

Masks work. I realize it makes your breath not the greatest but that is a small price to pay in order to not spread a deadly virus.

 

[Tyler Durden]

you are the "zero risk" person. there was some risk albeit small no? probably as much as a small child dying from COVID but we know how you feel about that

Am I? Life is full of risks, but to your point I guess I don't understand why a parent would choose to expose their child to entirely preventable diseases instead of having them vaccinated.

Less than 2 weeks ago. CDC and Fauci saying what happened today at 18 was a mask wearing situation.

But even after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said fully vaccinated Americans could stop wearing masks outdoors unless they were in a crowd of strangers, many Los Angeles residents are continuing to mask up as they weigh the risk. Some say it’s hard to break the habit.

Do I still need to wear a mask outdoors? There is a growing debate

He added that “it would be a very unusual situation, if you were going into a completely crowded situation where people are essentially falling all over each other, then you wear a mask.”

“But any other time,” he said, “if you’re vaccinated and you’re outside, put aside your mask. You don’t have to wear it.”

you've openly said parents should have their children taken away for not having them vaccinated because there is a tiny risk they'll die

Why would a parent stick their child in a car and drive them to play in a youth football game. Both carry the potential for death and both are completely avoidable. Neither is a necessary venture

A reasonable reader would come to the conclusion that Fauci was speaking with different data points in each of those comments. In situations where you expect to have reasonable personal space, i.e. a golf tournament, you behave differently than you would at, say, an outdoor concert or other close-quarters situation.

It's all about the distance from face to face. Outside, facial distance further than 2.5 to 3 feet brings an exponential drop in aerosol transmission.

Not just die, but become infected with a disease and potentially suffer irreparable lifelong damage.

good thing Covid doesn't like this...

Masks have no valid use if you are vaccinated. And any claimed validity they may have had in the past diminishes each day.

If somebody is worried about it they can trade the cost\benefit of the vaccine. If they aren’t worried then that’s fine too it’s their health.

GTFO with your “masks work” tripe kid.

LOL - that's even worse, take kids away for the potential of lifelong damage

You have a bright future as a fascist

did you see what happened at 18 today? one cannot be any closer than this unless enjoying carnal knowledge

I’d submit a reasonable reader looks at Fauci’s continual waffling and flip flopping and just changes the channel when he steps up to the podium at this point.

Categorically true. Suck it up buttercup.

Great for Mickelson

I admit to not paying attention to him at this point. It also helps that I don't have cable tv and avoid cable or radio news websites. There's a reason top scientists try to stay away from the camera and he's just strengthening that case.

if you look at the situation I was describing I'm sure you'll agree that a reasonable reader would say this is exactly what he was referencing

If you are really really concerned about this disease what is the single thing you should consider doing? And after chosing to do it what real risk are you at from anybody else?

So if somebody is really worried get the vaccine. If they aren’t worried about the risks of a bad outcome then don’t. But let’s all move the hell on

 

[volfanhill]

Depends how you define "widespread." By the time they shut down Wuhan, it had probably reached a number of countries.

Oh I agree. This bastard is highly infectious. I don't think it was widespread in China until late December. If you look at our timeline it fits that it popped in early November and oh **** happens in mid January. We had our first case in early January and we're on full lockdown by March.

@Tyler Durden should parents of Austin East students have their kids taken away from them? Just living in that neighborhood has shown it literally carries risk of death. Even if they are not murdered they are suffering lifelong mental trauma.

What say you on this matter?

I agree. I wish more did, though.

Vaccinated people can still spread COVID to unvaccinated people. Vaccinated people wearing masks, sometimes 2, to not spread COVID to unvaccinated people isn't theater.

Vaccinated people hugging other vaccinated people isn't theater. It's a benefit of being vaccinated and not having to worry about COVID.

A lot of things are possible but Fauci must not think it's very likely since he now says that vaccinated people basically do not have to wear masks. That's a far cry from his "double masking" days

 

[DancingOutlaw]

Just objectively false

What in the world do masks do for vaccinated people? Last year this was about me not peeing on your leg. Now it's what, protecting you from the 1/1,000 chance you encounter someone with covid and the 1/15,000 chance it bypasses your vaccine and then the 1/15,000 chance you give it to a vaccinated person and it bypasses THEIR vaccine and the 1/60 chance they die from it. There's 1 in 13.5 TRILLION chance that chain of events occurs. You have better odds of winning powerball 10 times in a row and getting struck by lighting each time you go to pick up the check. Stay safe my friend.

 

[Sea Ray]

Same here.

How do you go about checking your doctor's rank in medical school?

 

[NorthDallas40]

I agree. I wish more did, though.

Did what get the vaccine? Honestly at this point I don’t think it matters. The real risk was our healthcare system getting overloaded and failing. That risk is long gone. No I don’t think this is the flu, however the risk of a severe outcome is very low.

Every time you put your head under water in certain southern lakes and rivers a brain eating amoeba could swim up your nose and it’s lights out there is nothing they can do for you. This has been known for decades. Let’s all get the hell on with our lives.
