That's not fear-mongering. It's science.

I keep on hearing that.

The problem is what they declare as "not fear-mongering. It's science" changes drastically from "scientist" to "scientist" depending on their agenda and quite often the same "scientist" will change their "science" from day to day also depending on their agenda.

Quite frankly your actions are speaking so loudly I can not hear a word you are saying.

So shove OFF!

Everyone knows it was always airborne. That’s how almost everything spreads. If you’re surprised then I am truly shocked. Also, another myth, the 6ft away thing, if you believe that you’re a fool.

Look, here’s the story. COVID is NEVER going away. There are scientists saying and rightly so we will never reach herd immunity. You can and will get this thing over and over again, as the antibodies wear off quickly.

COVID, unlike the FLU does not disappear during summer months, COVID is a 24 x7 relentless disease that will be with us the rest of our lives.

This is the new normal, only it’s going to get worse. The world is adjusting and going to have to adjust to it. Human interaction is going to be very sparse.

No surprise to those following this virus. Otherwise, it would have been snubbed out months ago. Nice to see the ‘experts’ starting to catch up to reality.

“They mentioned that folks who have diabetes or high blood pressure will have tougher time of recovery from this virus.”

Has anyone bothered to explain how the virus manages to figure out if you have high blood pressure, as I seriously doubt it can read medical charts.

“Doesn’t wearing a mask actually increase the viral load of the individual wearing it?? Seems the individual with his face covered is going to re-breathe any virus caught in the snot that was actually filtered out of his sneeze or even just his breath. (Might this cause a liability problem for the governors and mayors mandating their wear?)”

We may not like it, but masks do work, at least in Asia. In Taiwan, they require masks and have virtually no cases. They even tested the masks last May when several dozen infected people were let loose into their society (some idiot let one of their military ships decrew) - and still, not a single new infection.

It sucks, but the virus simply won’t let us have it both ways...no mask with little spread - not happening.

***“The scientists cited research showing how three families at three different tables in an air-conditioned restaurant in China all became infected with the virus. One person at table A came in with it, and when he talked he emitted viral droplets that were carried across the room in a stream of air-conditioned air, infecting diners at two other tables.”

Actually, it is obviously IMPOSSIBLE to know this is how someone caught the virus. Anyone who says research shows it did happen this way - versus those people touching something somewhere else - is making up nonsense.***

Bears repeating. This is not legitimate research. Real legitimate research doesn’t happen like they are suggesting in their piece.

Well, duh. It it weren’t airborne, then why the sacred masks?

Perfect! Thank you!

So sick of this supposed “science” the media keeps going on and on about. This is junk science. This is NOT legitimate research.

I was a big proponent for flattening the curve. It gave us plenty of time to figure out what we were dealing with and to come up with remedies. Mission accomplished. The death rate is plummeting daily.

I think we must go to war over this, and soon, or we LOSE. If we let these Karens continue run this country into the ground, destroying businesses over their imaginary pandemic, it will be the worst mistake in history.

This research shows the mask effective at controlling transmission outgoing:

Partner, if you are not taking High Blood pressure medication and you are diagnosed by a doctor like I was and the Dr. recommends meds to lower B.P. then I would take the Blood pressure medication.

The High Diabetes and B.P. without taking medication is a bad omen for folks that get the virus which is very bad on the lungs from what I hear about the virus.

It almost shuts the lungs down with pneumonia (lungs are filled with liquid) and this is main reason for the breathing apparatus that we were short on but not now.

Partner, for this reason alone I take 7000 mg of vitamin C and at least 2 or more Zinc pills every day and I have not gotten the Flu or a cold in at least the past 10 years.

Right now. the virus is very mild to the younger population and in fact, it is like a mild cold symptoms to our younger population.

I still think the virus is a big hoax and Fauci and Birx are big hoaxes.
