It's more than just the masks, it's the damn social distancing, and all the shit that has come with it.
China Wuhan Virus Pandemic
- Thread starter Arch Dornan
- Start date
My workplace doesn't enforce social distancing outside of the lunch room that I never eat in* but they are zero tolerance with masks. Which is a pity, because some of us wear glasses and work with shit that will put your eye out or kill you if you take one wrong step. Masks and glasses don't work well together.
*Seriously, eating lunch behind a plastic barrier makes me feel like a pig in a factory farm.
Oh, I completely understand, as I have to wear glasses due to near-sightedness.
Doing anything that requires both mask and glasses is a pain, particularly when it is already starting to warm up outside.
As a civilization we are going through the stages of grief.
Shock, Denile, Anger, Barganing, depression, testing, and then acceptance.
The average person is going to have to face up to the fact that in order to get his life back very powerful people need to be removed from power and doing so is going to be a very shitty time.
Thankfully Texas is fighting back, as are Florida and Wisconsin.
Getting Florida Man/Woman, Texan Cowboys, and Cheeseheads banding together might be able to turn the tide.
Edit: Oh, and Mississippi as well. Red Tide incoming.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.

What an ass.
The dominos are falling:
Now to see if Biden tries to force them to stay closed, and how large corps respond to this. If big corps start trying to force masks, while small businesses don't, it could shift the economic downtrend the pandemic has started.

There are always plenty of people ready to take the second step. With Florida and the Dakotas proving that mask mandates and lockdowns have a negligible effect on Covid deaths and now Texas and Missouri ending their lockdowns after performing more than due caution over the past year other states will follow. The evidence is months old by this point, so now it's all a political calculus. Are your constituents willing to continue to be economically and socially strangled for the sake of political showmanship? Some are and I'm willing to bet that Democratic banner states like California and New York will be among the last to back out. Though my personal bet is on New Jersey being the last man out.
I mean, unless you get there early, you're not going to find any ammo to buy, and it's going to be overpriced as shit.I myself am hemming and hawing over whether to go to the local gun show this weekend or not. I mean, I probably shouldn't just to avoid spending money, but still.
Also, unless you're paying cash to avoid leaving a trail, there's really no point to going to a gun show for a gun or accessory. Parts and guns are still better priced online.

Civil disobedience personified when you're shit tired of putting on a mask.
Clearly we are making advances in science everyday leading to new breakthroughs in treatments, drugs, and definitions.
The ministry of truth at work.
From a purely medical standpoint, it's not without merit -- while immunity can indeed be developed through previous infection, intentional exposure to wild-type virus is not an effective strategy for developing herd immunity. The only notable disease that intentional exposure has been a historically successful strategy for is chickenpox/shingles, but even that is largely because a vaccine for chickenpox did not exist until relatively recently (1995), and also because childhood chickenpox is simultaneously highly infectious and a mild low-risk disease.
Dr. Peter Hotez wants to shine the spotlight on the 'global pharmacy' that is India's pharmaceutical industry and how it's helped with the vaccine rollout and vaccine diplomacy through the Developing World.

Covid vaccine rollout 'India’s gift' to world in combating pandemic: Scientist
India is called the pharmacy of the world during the Covid-19 pandemic with its vast experience and deep knowledge in medicine. The country is one of the world’s biggest drug-makers and an increasing number of countries have already approached it for procuring coronavirus vaccines.

Sooo, I just feel this is a Mission Accomplished banner waiting to happen: Covid pandemic: Biden eyes 4 July as ‘Independence Day’ from virus
Yeah, and I doubt it will matter at all, or actually lead to an end of the lockdowns and mask mandates in blue states.
Because I've seen videos of 'experts' on CBS who are now saying, in so many words, that the Wuhan Flu should be not be considered a pandemic anymore. Instead it shoukd considered the virus to be endemic to our biome now.
And they may not be wrong either.
Due to the nature of the bug and the situation surrounding the initial outbreak, we will probably never be able to fully eradicate it from human populations, particularly if the rumor about it being spiked with HIV proteins is true.
At best, the Wu Flu vaccine will be added on like the normal flu jabs in people's yearly physicals, till the next bug is unleashed (and China has proven these sorts of attacks work), when this will all start again.
I hope the states which are opening up STAY open if Biden decides he has to shut everything down, due to 'spikes' from those states. However, let's be real, that has no good ending if Fed forces are used to try to force social distancing and mask mandates on 'hot zone' states.
The civil rights that have been cast aside in trying to fight this virus are...unlikely to ever fully return. They've let the mask slip that the lockdowns and other mandates are actually being enforced for what might be 'far-left ecological, social, and power grab' reasons, not public health or safety. We had theraputics to begin win, and wouldn't have needed to lockdown at all if people had politizied the virus for the 2020 election.
The states ending the mask and social distancing mandates might be able to turn the tide, but only time will tell.
