Hawkeye21 2,400 Posted December 16, 2020 This year is the most careful people have been about getting sick in a very long time. The numbers should go down as more people stay home, wear masks when they do go out and wash their hands more often. Seems like common sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Edit: But their deaths data is flu & pneumonia, so certainly possible flu deaths are down for the year, meaning many of those deaths are coming from pneumonia which is yet another sign that covid deaths could actually be undercounted since covid often results in pneumonia) In addition, you know we have a test for Flu right? From the same link your image came from which I see you chose not to share - 0.2% testing positive - https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm Even forgetting masks for a second, tons of people working and going to school from home (not saying they should be going to school from home)...you don’t think thats likely going to lead to less people getting sick with stuff they normally get sick from?

Use this cartoon graphic on this site as reference and tell me what part of that you feel is not only wrong, but the opposite. https://www.eamc.org/news-and-media/why-is-wearing-a-mask-important Again, no studies or politics, just use physics and logic and tell me what part of the concept of covering your moth to prevent more particles from being expelled you feel is wrong. Its like arguing umbrellas don’t keep you dryer in the rain than not having an umbrella. I don’t need a study or science to explain to me how covering my head prevents more water from hitting me, I just use basic logic. Easy. There is no dimension given between one smiley face and the other. The article doesn't even mention social distancing. It gives the false impression that mask wearing is THE most important factor and dismisses the effects of social distancing. Masks are stupid. If you're afraid of the virus stay away from strangers. If you've got a cough, ok wear a mask. If you're sick, stay home. The chances of you getting some amount of wet on you are magnitudes greater when you walk around in the rain even if you have an umbrella than if you just kept out of the rain in the first place.

Bingo. Very good point about the false impression the artile gives. The CDC says social distancing is the most important. Which makes 100% logical sense. You can't get a virus if you're not around people who have it. Next is good hygiene. Washing your hands kills the virus and not touching your eyes, nose, and mouth limits the spread. Last is masks which the CDC says offers very little protection if any at all. I've also demonstrated through multiple studies posted here masks when used improperly can increase the chance of infection and spread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horseman 2,478 Posted December 16, 2020 I'm just glad there are several bars and restaurants near me that are giving the middle finger to these latest shut downs and are staying open. -OPEN- Running around scared of a virus that doesn't affect the vast majority of healthy people is absurd.

Right, and really you only have to do those things if you are around the old and vulnerable. We'd be much better off (and in even better position now with a vaccine) if we had spread the anti-bodies around the healthy of us. We could have shaved months of reaching heard immunity and avoided all the economic devastation (and health consequences of). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just like with any disease, there are multiple treatments available. He followed the treatment plan decided upon by his doctors who I'm gonna guess are some of the best doctors in the world. I wasn't in the room (neither were you) to know what their reasoning was for deciding upon the specific treatment plan that was decided on for him. Trump never said EVERYONE who gets Covid should take HCQ. He said it should be an option. A large percentage of doctors agree with him. So I'm not sure what your point is with this post.
