The Coronavirus thread

Power to the people. Love this story. School board wouldn't reverse masking policy in schools, school board wouldn't listen to the citizens and walked out. The people vote them out and elect a new school board on the spot and rescind the masking policy.

Pay attention to what Floggy? Fauci? The CDC? Which of their 29,372 conflicting directives does Mad Dr. Hypoflog suggest we listen to? Certainly it's no longer science, so which edicts or directives?

--------------------

Analysis: The CDC Can't Stop Undermining Its Own Credibility​

Earlier in the week, we gave the CDC half a cheer for its impending, if embarrassingly belated, changes to guidance on outdoor masking. The new guidance finally arrived on Tuesday. It is profoundly underwhelming, to put it kindly.

One science-based reality is that outdoor transmission of COVID is vanishingly rare – almost non-existent – even among unvaccinated people.

Another science-based reality is that the vaccines work incredibly well, offering robust immunity.

The notion that the CDC is still recommending that fully vaccinated people wear masks in some outdoor settings is untethered from the data, and yet again sends the counter-productive signal that maybe the vaccines don't work. They really truly do, of course, but that's not what the Powers That Be repeatedly insist on conveying. National Review's Phil Klein wrote a succinct and scathing post about the new CDC rules, calling them "a joke:"

"To be clear, the science was overwhelming last year that the risk of outdoor transmission of COVID-19 was low to non-existent. Anybody following the science should have never felt compelled to wear a mask outdoors during the pandemic. Furthermore, somebody who is fully vaccinated is at minimal risk of catching COVID-19 indoors or outdoors. Earlier this month, the CDC itself reported that out of a universe of 66 million individuals who were vaccinated at the time, just 5,800 got the virus. That’s less than 1-in-10,000. The idea that the CDC, even in loosening outdoor mask guidance, is still insisting that vaccinated people wear masks in crowded outdoor settings is completely unmoored from science or reason. This is a bungling agency that has made one mistake after another throughout the pandemic...It would be easy to say that every American should just ignore the CDC, because the people running it have exposed themselves as unserious people. But the problem is that state and local officials as well as private business often defer to CDC guidance. So if you live in a Faucistan sector of the United States, your daily life is likely still going to be affected by whatever the CDC decides to cook up."



Ben's right, masking is now ideology.

Saw an interesting comparable quote yesterday: "Totalitarians love their symbols, whether armbands or facemasks."

So you think half the population will continue to wear masks indefinitely?

It’s ironic for Ben Shapiro, an ORTHODOX JEW, to criticize people for wearing something as a religious icon.

Do you see any push by the Left or our leaders to take the masks off???? There's discussion about wearing them full time "because we learned how it can prevent other **** too."

I said before, we can tell you where Liberals will go next. The slippery slope ALWAYS proceeds in the same direction. Just wait. We will be asked to wear them far longer than we should have. We shouldn't be wearing them now.

We know YOU love them though....it's a religious symbol.

******* racist ****
The Biden administration has upgraded its travel advisory for India to an outright ban as the COVID-19 crisis in the country continues to spiral out of control -- something President Biden once said would "not stop" coronavirus.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced the ban Friday afternoon, saying the decision was made on the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).


....wait. “He didn’t do this soon enough. It’s his fault. **** sleepy.

YES, the left is pushing to get rid of masks! It’s called... VACCINATION!

Answer the question. Do you really think people are wearing masks in public and in the privacy of their homes as a religious symbol and will continue to do so indefinitely? Have you gone full-blown Marjorie Taylor Green on us?

This again tops one of your stupidest replies ever. All one needs to do is watch the news, read the news, open their eyes. Despite the overwhelming evidence masking doesn't work, despite the sheer number of people who are vaccinated, YOUR leaders continue to insist masks be worn. Your leaders continue to say we "may" be allowed small gatherings by July 4th.

Stupid is insisting masks don’t work and then posting articles where QUALIFIED medical professionals refer to their effectiveness.

Will people start wearing masks during cold and flu season in crowded NYC subways? Perhaps, might not be a bad idea especially if they’re not vaccinated. Will they wear them to the grocery store in July? I doubt it. Do I not care in the least if they do? Absolutely! But you keep obsessing and researching and being outraged. It’s healthy behavior.

Stupid is only listening to one scientific opinion. The entire medical, research and scientific community is split on the efficacy of masks related to COVID. The data, and 14 months of evidence point to one side being right....masks had no noticeable effect on the spread of COVID. We've been round and round on this, and you've been schooled again and again.

I'll ask the question again. If masks were so effective, why are the states with the most draconian lockdown and masking efforts still leading the nation in case rates?

You won't ever answer it, you can't answer it...just like Fauci couldn't. If masks worked, states with mask mandates would be faring the best. The opposite is true.

Time for new doctors, don't ya think?

Then the government gets pissy about people not getting vaccines or skipping their second one. Well duh, there's no practical advantage when you still have to wear a mask even if you do. Doesn't make a friggen' bit of difference in your life.

This Data On Masked Vs Unmasked Schools Will Be Ignored By The Mask Cult

One of the most frustrating aspects of the 'war' on COVID waged by our overlords in the name of health and safety has been the forcible muzzling of children in

townhall.com

Consider this dataset on COVID spread in schools from Brown University Professor Emily Oster, hardly a member of Team Reality. Launched last fall, Oster's "COVID dashboard project" has attempted to make up for the lack of a "coordinated federal effort to track COVID cases in context."

.....

The amount of data collected here, although not exhaustive, seems surprisingly voluminous and impressive:

When we launched the dashboard in early September, our first announcement included about 100,000 in-person students. All of the data in that wave came from schools and districts that opted-in to the study to provide their information. These data provided a first, early look at case rates in schools. The sample was selected, yes, but it provided a first look at case rates in schools.
The most recent wave of data, covering early February, includes about 12 million students, of whom 6 million were in-person (this is about 20% of all school enrollment in the US). At this stage of the process, we still collect data from districts and schools who opt-in. But we’re also pulling in comprehensive data at either the school or district level from a number of states (New York, Texas, Massachusetts, Florida). The result is data with less geographic balance but significantly more representativeness (and many more observations).

In areas of high community transmission, masked school students saw a case rate (defined here as daily cases per 100,000) 37 percent higher than non-masked school students, or 19 cases per 100,000 in 'no masks required' schools vs 26 in 'masks required' schools. Even worse, staff experienced a case rate 84 percent worse in masked schools, at 19 cases per 100,000 in "no masks required" schools vs 35 in 'masks required' schools. In areas of low or substantial community transmission, students experienced no difference in case rates while staff numbers in "masks required" schools were slightly worse.

And you won’t ever answer the question why states like ND, SD, and TN lead the nation in all time (14 MONTHS) case rates. Nor will you provide a logical explanation as to why masks and restrictions don’t work. You act as if mask wearing as a preventative measure was invented during Covid, or as if Covid isn’t contagious.

Who are these states with draconian lockdowns? Michigan? Their cases are in steep decline, who says their restrictions aren’t working? A handful of states are seeing an increase in cases, including Wyoming. What gives there?

[Ron Burgundy]

It is as if you strive to see just how more epically stupid you can be by the day. As if it is a goal. Mind boggling.

Fauci is the Director of NIAD. Fauci has been the "expert" leaned on for COVID response. Presidents listen to him and formulate policy on what he says. He's a leader. He (nearly) single handedly told America what to do and why to do it. He is the reason we are still masking and the reason we are still in lockdown mode in much of the country.

Back in the good ol' days when Trump was President and I'd get into arguments with Libtards who would say that he was screwing up the Covid response, I'd ask specifically when did Trump not do what Dr. Fauci recommended? (Hint: never) The best they could come back with was call me a racist who watches Fox News.

Speaking of, Dr. Fauci was also the guy who back in the 80's told us that the heterosexual AIDS epidemic was just around the corner. How did that work out? I mean, apart from Magic Johnson and Tim Richmond who banged record numbers of groupies and ******. In one of the epic interviews of all time, Tim Richmond's mother said (insert sweet southern accent), "I'm so glad they brought up that Tim loved his ******, I didn't want people to think he was gay."

There ain’t no “me” in herd immunity.

There also is no "we" in cheap kunt. Hey, is there a vaccine for being a cheap *****? Most regular contributors on this forum seem to have a natural immunity, but dumb kunts like you, 21IQ and Decaf are suffering fatal levels of cheap *****.
