Its just the flu, bro.
Coronavirus deaths are dropping nationally. Its all about applying the pressure to politicians now. They often dont change policies instantly - pressure on them now to end the lockdowns will pay off down the road.

Great to see recreational basketball and baseball ramping up where I live in the suburbs of Houston. Swimming, football and water polo are still not competing. Are youth sports competing where you are or are they still too shut down?

I know it is not a principled stand that I am taking by doing this but wearing a mask and just keeping it below the nose is tolerable. I breathe through my nose anyway and I have only had one person tell me my mask was on wrong so far (I 100% ignored what that person said). This technique is good enough to get me into church, kids sports, and the very rare shopping that I do.
The mask will prevent you from transmitting the disease inadvertently, Darren
masks are not the only difference between here and Thailand or vietnam and vietnam is currently having an outbreak. Put your mask on and go away please
Masks reduce the chances of transmission
Have you bothered to look at the sources of data yourself? The numbers are clear - and even if you take 164K as double the actual number, that' still 82K dead in 5 months.
You are wrong. The death rate is quite similar to seasonal flu and nowhere near 3 percent. If you wish to spread misinformation and fear do so elsewhere. good day
Heck, even Greece, with it's masks policy has only 20 deaths per million, Slovakia with 6 deaths per million.
All of them with masks policies
Putting the mask prevents the transmission
Thats not what the CDC or the WHO said 5 months ago.
Of course now they said they lied about it then?
Or are they lying about it now.
574 / 48000 new cases = .01%
Is math that hard for you?
Flu season isnt over yet - fearbro.
Those were all people who were stopped at the borders
Vietnamese attribute the countrys success to the Honda effect: Were a people who go everywhere on Honda motorcycles. Were accustomed to wearing masks to keep out the dust. I think that is what saved us this time.
Vietnam made use of the lessons it learned from the SARS outbreak. As soon as an infected person was identified, he or she was placed in a state-owned facility such as a university dormitory or military barracks. All close contacts of the infected person were also placed on stand-by in these facilities, even if they were asymptomatic at the time. In early April, when only 240 people had been infected, 45,000 people were under quarantine. Whenever a small cluster of infections emerged, the entire village was sealed off from the outside world.
Right - their death rates are near .01% of their infection rates.
To what do you attribute that fearbro?
Masks?
Here are the factual numbers - 5 million cases and 164K deaths. Do the maths - that's 3.28%. Even if you take the deaths as exaggerated by 100%, that's still 1.14% death rate
You keep saying "similar to the flu" and bring nothing but your statements as proof.
Ah yes - so you admit it wasnt the masks but because they contained the infection to a few dozen people.
You KNOW we did that here too but the infection slipped through and spread anyway.
Oh and how do you account for all the doctors and nurses wearing N95 masks that got it anyway?
1.14% IS the typical seasonal flu death rate - fearbro.
your number 574/48000 = .01% -- do you even know how to calculate percentage??
(574/48000)*100 = 1.195%
Did you learn maths in school?
+800K...REPORTED abortions last year!!
and similar numbers for many years past
and similar numbers for many years to come if we keep following the lead
of people like you who fall into step with these Marxist haters and ignore the REAL pandemic happening in your face!
so go hide at home and wait for your check.
The fearpers are getting g more desperate as they are proven wrong on all sides. The only statistics they believe are their own
Both are horrific. You don’t have to do a “whatabouttery” - one can attack abortion and also reduce the spread of a disease
It looks as if the ChiComs may have designed this thing to cull their own elderly population. Decades of a one-child policy have left them demographically screwed.
"You can do whatever makes you feel safe. I'll do what makes me feel safe"
Is that so hard to understand?
