I am an American, I don’t live in other countries. This is about the draconian response in America not other countries. You are quite out of touch! |
I don’t understand why it took so long to determine whether it was an airborne virus or not! That shouid have been communicated in the first couple of months. I also don’t understand why the CDC equivocated on the effectiveness of masks. That shouid have been studied and known well before CoVid happened and, IMO, was a huge public health failure. |
Disagree. My family went nearly 2 years without so much as a sniffle despite our use of subpar masks. And we still haven’t had covid. |
Correlation does not equal causation. Not one tiny bit. |
The Amish did absolutely nothing and had no worse effects than the unscientific CDC recommended drones.
The only thing that should have been done was to protect people with serious pre existing conditions. |
Many died ... masking helps. |
They aren't comparable as they self isolate. |
You are lucky and naturally immune. Many of us aren't so lucky. |
I'm convinced masks do very little, even kn95s.
I used to rarely get sick - maybe a cold once every 3-5 years, despite using the gym regularly, never using hand sanitizer, touching all the crosswalk signals (then eating a snack from bag). I started working in an elementary school in Fall 2021. Spring 2022 and Fall 2022 have been nearly nonstop sickness for me, despite wearing a kn95 all day except outside. Or maybe the germy children are just no match. I still have never tested positive for covid, but have had plenty of other bugs and viruses in the past year! |
+1 I hate to admit it, but I do think republicans were right - that we democrats got a little crazy. In the end, most everyone got COVID and, once vaccinated, most people were fine. Before vaccinations, it was important to mask up and social distance but really it didn’t need to go on as long as it did. Also, it was a grave mistake to close schools. |
Do you realize how many people died? Are you just in denial? Schools being virtual were not closed. |
More than one million people died in the US, more than 6 million worldwide, and you selfish twats think we didn’t do enough. Narcissism will be humanity’s downfall. |
One thing I hated was business owners were targeted for being awful evil people for trying to keep their restaurants open. That was a low point in humanity. Or how churches were targeted for staying open. I’m not religious and I’m a Democrat, but people got too fanatic. It became “virtuous” to hate people who wanted to gather - a basic human function! |
The Amish made fools of everybody. They changed nothing and had zero difference than the hysterical populace . |
Well they were mostly unvaccinated, elderly or severely immune compromised. I don’t say that to dismiss those deaths—each of those people are cherished and missed—but I say it to point out that after vaccinations were available, we should have gone back to business. And we didn’t. |
