Indeed. Being enclosed in the same space as people who aren't tested whom have their masks off eating as the air filters through the establishment is a safe environment. Masks are out here protecting the world, friend.

Yup, but if your on a California beach or hiking, your at high risk to killing off millions of people and need a mask.

Same goes for Michigan, don't even think of cutting your hair or going to the lake house....

Because private institutions ask me to? They also ask me to wear a shirt and shoes, and to not concealed carry in their establishments. Their property, their choice- if I disagree, I can go somewhere else.

I can not wear a mask all I want when I go into certain liquor stores and gun shops. But I'll still wear a mask because fuck you if you think I'm interested in spreading what I don't know I might have.

How did they get your image for this poster, Ms. NPC?

Oh man they captured my vitiligo perfectly!

I'm actually a model for illness-related clipart in my spare time. It's how I afford '90s cars.

[SupaDoopa]

Target pays up, too. I'm happy for you.

And not a single biohazard bag to throw them away in

So if Commie Cough is so deadly... Why haven't the West Coast Homeless all been killed off?

Zero Hygiene
Drug Additions
High STD rates
Poor Diets
Malnourished
Limited Access to Healthcare
Dense Populations

Your think they'd be dropping like flies.

My buddy runs a homeless taskforce for Sacramento PD and he has said not only are homeless deaths up, but the number of homeless is increasing. Nice try though.

A. Death from What?
B. How Much of an increase?
C. Why are numbers up?

Clearly the Commie Cough isn't that bad if, again, the "most vulnerable" are actually increasing and number and are not being wiped out as if in a biblical plague.

So masks and 6ft rule do fuck all, but don't panic, it's no big deal.


And keep wearing your mask.

[zombiewolf513]

Since everyone trusts the CDC so much:

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/...mm6936a5-H.pdf

Page 4. Your CDC overlords are telling you that 85% of people were 'always' or 'often' wearing their masks when they contracted COVID.

"Both Bertram and Sethi said existing COVID-19 precautions like wearing masks, avoiding indoor gatherings, good hand hygiene and maintaining social distancing will help mitigate possible airborne transmission.

'If they take those precautions, then they're covered,' Sethi said. 'They're safe.'"

Tim Bertram "researches aerosol particles at UW-Madison and is an air quality expert." Ajay Sethi is an "infectious diseases expert." I put them in quotes because I pulled the verbiage straight from the article.

^^^^^U wear a mask when u ride u bicycle?

[KA24DESOneThree]

I don't ride my bicycle because people might hit me with their towing mirrors.

I wear a mask when I test-drive cars that my techs might have to final tune/repair after I'm done with them. I still wear a mask every day when I'm around anyone who works with me.

[S14rebuild]

Glad u learned, take ur big wheel to the sidewalk.

God you have to be awesome at parties.

I was actually just at a shop and no one had masks on. Girl said "yeah, you don't have to wear that" and was all *high five* "bruh!".

It was a good time.

No sidewalks on my commute to work either.

Country town; no real pedestrian or bicyclist infrastructure outside of downtown.

[S14rebuild]

Guess ull be suckn dic for rides....

Dont forget to cut a hole in ur mask though

[SupaDoopa]

Maybe try to make some sort of underground passage to work. I'd hate for you to get hit by a mirror, contract skin cancer from UV rays or have to pass someone not wearing a mask. This should have all your bases covered. You can even light it with solar powered lights that have panels above ground bringing in those sweet, sweet rays of electricity.

You're welcome. #SupaDoopaElection2024

Whelp, The WHO now says lock downs don't work and the only thing they achieve is "to make the poor poorer..."

Good to know.

Oh man I could hire one of those tremors from the movie Tremors to make the tunnel. All I need to do is strap a cow head to my tailgate and drive to work. Fucking GENIUS.

But I'll need C4 when I get there, and not just for chewing. #orangeguts #RCCarsStrappedWithExplosives

Back to the less important manner at hand, here's another take on Corbic's biased source:

As was reported by various outlets, Nabarro did tell Spectator TV: "We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus" and "we really do appeal to world leaders, stop using lockdown as your primary control method."

But Nabarro made the comments after Spectator TV host Andrew Neil asked him to elaborate on what the special envoy had described as a "middle way" of dealing with the virus. Neil also asked whether lockdowns were still the way forward for countries now that more is known about the virus, and it appears rarely fatal for young people.

Nabarro said a number of approaches are needed to ensure there is a robust defence to quickly suppress outbreaks if there is an uptick in cases.

The "backbone to controlling this kind of thing is always testing, contact tracing and isolation," at a local level, he said. The second is dealing with small spikes locally, and ensuring the public is on side and practicing disease prevention measures such as physical distancing.

East Asian countries have been relatively successful in this, as well as Germany and Canada, Nabarro said. "That's the approach that we believe should be adopted."

"We think lockdowns only serve one purpose, and that is to give a bit of breathing space to stop everything, the virus stops moving, and while you've got that breathing space you should be really building your testing, building up your contact tracing, build up your local organization, so that as you release lockdown you're bound to get more cases but you can deal with it really, really elegantly," he said.

Nabarro went on: "The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large we'd rather not do it." He pointed to regions where tourism has suffered, the effects on farmers, and poverty levels.

"We really do appeal to world leaders, stop using lockdown as your primary control method. Develop better systems, for doing it, work together and learn from each other, but remember lockdowns just have one consequence you must never ever belittle and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer."

Over the course of the pandemic, the U.S. has struggled with some of these aspects, including mass testing.

WHO officials have said throughout the pandemic that lockdowns should not be the only approach taken by countries to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

In a statement emailed to Newsweek, a spokesperson said: "WHO has consistently said that measures to control COVID-19 depend on local risk assessments. National lockdowns shouldn't be the default control measure, but movement restrictions may be among a range of measures governments can consider in certain geographical areas.

"We should implement the range public health measures that we know are effective for preventing transmission, including hand and respiratory hygiene, physical distancing, mask wearing, staying home if you're sick, etc. as well as having robust systems for testing, isolating, tracing and quarantining contacts, etc."

No, that was science's older brother mathematics

[S14rebuild]

Do find it kinda funny seeing all these people out and about "celebrating".no masks... no social distancing. Oh well

[SupaDoopa]

Local states here had a stay at home order until the election was called. Now it's business as usual. Weird.
