[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who are still neurotic and blathering on on socials and in public are the long-term victims of a sustained and powerful PR campaign by mainstream media and government. At the beginning, this was probably warranted, as we didn't know much... but like all government programs, it went on for far too long. We now have a legion of people who are go on spreading the gospel, and will for some time. My advice is to ignore them. They'll stop eventually.[/quote]

Ah,  key word, "mainstream media." You wouldn't know how to source information if your life depended on it. I am so exhausted by how many truly awful people there are, but also how dumb. More exhausted by that than Covid.  1.7 million people voted for Walker in this election.  That shows where the problems are, unfortunately, and every state has them. [/quote]

It's absolutely true that the CDC has been extremely slow to change course, if at all. They didn't start recommending N95 masks for public use until almost a year after supply became sufficient. I remember telling my colleagues about a particular N95 mask that was recommended to me by a family member who works in public health, and they all looked at me like I was stealing from health care workers (in the meantime the New York Times was reporting that domestic makers of N95s like the ones I had bought were struggling to sell them because the hospitals only wanted the cheaper Chinese-made ones). They are extremely stuck in their ways and have not done a good job of incorporating new information or balancing competing priorities.[/quote]

Don't think you understood my comment. Pro mask wearing here. [/quote]
