this meltdown is getting to be epic.

The government doesn't meddle in the vast majority of my life, let alone every aspect of it. I know it sounds cool to say it as a slogan for the ill informed but it isn't actually true.randylahey wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 10:55 amLol. No thats sarcasm.

The real issue with covid: its not killing enough people
The only thing thats really changed is the government mindset to meddle and monitor in every aspect of citizen's lives. For some reason they've convinced enough of you its necessary and acceptable that not only do you allow them to do it, you encourage and support it
It's only debatable in a conversation full of people who don't want to believe that they are effective in reducing transmission.randylahey wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 11:12 am Its debatable how effective masks in the real world are. What we do know is that even with masks, covid still spreads.
Some of you and your covid regulations, it's like a cult and covid is your religion
You have proven to have no doubt about a lot of things that aren't true at all.
Sure they do. Youve just grown too accustomed to it. Feels like every day there is a new tax in something, new few, new reason for why they want you to support tax increasestwocoach wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 11:30 amThe government doesn't meddle in the vast majority of my life, let alone every aspect of it.

Every time i put one on i wanted to beleive it was helpful. But yet covid still spread. Turns out making healthy people wear masks at all times might make people feel safer, but it doesn't actually help muchtwocoach wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 11:32 amIt's only debatable in a conversation full of people who don't want to believe that they are effective in reducing transmission.randylahey wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 11:12 am Its debatable how effective masks in the real world are.

It's so damn frustrating how many people say "I wear my mask and covid is still going around" because they wear their mask at the grocery store as required and then have 15 friends over to their house that aren't wearing masks and give each other covid.PhDhawk wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 12:06 pm Lack of compliance is why masks aren't more effective.
When usage rates are high, and they're used properly, they're actually very effective.
Every scientifically based study I've seen supports this.

i'm fully vaxxed. why would i wear a mask in my own house.
It's the "having 15 people in your enclosed house" that causes the problem. Aren't we more than 18 months into this? Are you still unsure how this virus gets passed? JFC.
And even when more people were wearing masks, a lot of them wore them under their nose, or on their chin. Then they'd take them off to sneeze or cough. People would take them off to talk or when they were on their cell phone.twocoach wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 12:14 pmIt's so damn frustrating how many people say "I wear my mask and covid is still going around" because they wear their mask at the grocery store as required and then have 15 friends over to their house that aren't wearing masks and give each other covid.PhDhawk wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 12:06 pm Lack of compliance is why masks aren't more effective.

Aren't we 18 months into this and you're suggesting having people over to your house is a problemtwocoach wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 12:23 pmIt's the "having 15 people in your enclosed house" that causes the problem.

The point being that there are a lot of people out there who claim they are doing what needs to be done but really aren't. Things seem to be calming down a bit these days as vaccination rates continue to climb.randylahey wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 12:30 pmAren't we 18 months into this and you're suggesting having people over to your house is a problem
I don't think that was his point.
I had 10 friends over the other day.
