How upset would you be if another wave of covid came and we had to start wearing masks again?

[dpy87]

This past month has been the most relaxed I've felt about covid and not having to wear a mask. I don't know how long it will last, hopefully this is the start of the end, but I'll go nuts if another wave comes. My mental health is just starting to get better.

Really upset, I don't think I could handle anymore of this

Wouldn't mind, gotta do what you gotta do

Covid scares are fear porn propaganda. You have the same risk of dying from the flu.

The CDC’s covid death rates per age group, United States Feb.2020-Sept.2021
0-17: 0.0009/100
18-49: 0.0437/100
50-64: 0.2535/100
+65: 1.2965/100
All ages: 0.2897/100

The CDC has quietly acknowledged that far more people have natural immunity than was earlier reported. 146.6 million people have been infected by the Sars-CoV-2 virus and have survived it.

The CDC estimates that 124 million of the 146.6 million infections resulted in “symptomatic illnesses,” although it is unclear why only one in four infections sought out medical treatment. The CDC further estimated that there were 7.5 million hospitalizations, although ‘hospitalizations’ may include routine treatment that happened to turn up a positive Covid-19 test, greatly inflating the figures.

Most inflated of all are the 921,000 “estimated total deaths.” The CDC reports “Covid-related deaths,” and not deaths caused by Covid-19. That is because 94% of Covid-related deaths had serious underlying medical conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

While Covid-19 may have been a contributing causal factor to the timing of a patient’s death, the vast majority occurred in patients who were immunocompromised or elderly.

The average age of Covid-related death in 2020 was slightly under life expectancy at 77 years old.

Masks are not only pointless, they are bad for your physical and mental health. Their only purpose is to accustom people to compliance. They are symbols of slavery. If you wear a mask, you are a voluntary slave, and that's the goal.

I wore a mask for about a month after the initial implementation of the "mandates" back in 2020. Then I learned more about masks and covid and the agenda. So I never wore a mask again.

I've personally met hundreds of people who don't wear masks. We've dined together, crowded together at events, shaken hands, hugged, talked, laughed and sang. Not one got sick. There are millions who now understand what's at risk if they don't resist the evil agenda. Our human rights, liberty and constitutional guarantees are being trampled and will be revoked completely if the global elites who are trying to achieve their plans for the tyrannical New World Order/One World Government get their way.

So masks are much, much more than a minor inconvenience. The future of humanity is at stake. I'm not exaggerating.

All you have to is wake up and resist. Join the millions and millions around the world who refuse to comply. It's all we have to do to prevent an unimaginably horrible future for humanity.

[SinceYouAsked]

My daughter-in-law is immunocompromised because of a severe illness she suffered when younger. But she is living a normal, healthy life now. However, if she caught COVID, it would likely kill her. It would not be immune issue that killed her; it would be the COVID. Because, if not for COVID, she would would not have died. So you're using convoluted logic being promoted by some who have politicized a public health issue for their own personal gain.

[Lliam]

@SinceYouAsked. She would be at equal risk from any infection, including the flu. After all, many colds and flues are coronavirus. What about other forms of flu, SARS-1, TB, etc. All that stuff is out there. You seem to think that Covid-19 is special.

[SinceYouAsked]

COVID is more viral and more prevalent. None of those others are at a pandemic level. So, yeah, it's kind of 'special', as you put it.

[Lliam]

@SinceYouAsked. You need to study more.

[ObscuredBeyond]

It was BS and useless last time, and would be again. We have to guard our elections like it's the last thing separating us from nuclear war. No more being pushed around by the health department! They have zero lawful authority to interfere with elections, as they did in Michigan! And all vote third party to throw off Dominion!

Once the current gangsters are out of government, we need to prosecute, convict, and send them to the gallows! And decommission all the unconstitutional bureaus! All laws made to suit their power over us, null and void!

If we won't rid our government of gangsters, they'll keep pulling the same crap. They already tried to create super-covid in Ukraine, until Russia destroyed it. Russia are handling themselves like total professionals in the midst of this all, while Biden's AmeriKKKa are in Ukraine, being reckless and irresponsible, comingling with literal Nazis, and are doing more harm to Ukrainians than they are to Russians!

Biden's policy (read: the Obamination's) has troops acting like barbarians, and expecting everyone to love them anyway, because they think how gay and gender-confused they can be constitutes automagic superiority!

Purge the evil from among you, or prepare for your own government to exercise germ warfare on you, the likes of which will make Saddam look like the virgin Mary!

[SinceYouAsked]

You sound like one of those seditionist who tried to subvert the constitution, commit a coup and overthrow our government. Those are the people who belong in jail.

[ObscuredBeyond]

@SinceYouAsked : Firing and prosecuting the lawless in office is not sedition. Letting Chinese nationals in after hours to count the vote in Detroit, but locking out election integrity inspectors while citing a virus most if not all of them didn't even have, was the real sedition.

[Anonymous]

My area is in a low because everyone was sick in Dec/Jan, people dropped like flies. Three month immunity. Pretty soon another strain will come in. They sound pretty past it though. Think they’ll leave choices up to the people now. Two years was probably their endgame on control.

[annabananna]

I honestly don’t see another big wave coming like before but I could be wrong. If we did have one and the only restriction was to wear a mask than it honestly wouldn’t really effect me. I don’t mind wearing a mask. I prefer not to but it’s not a big deal for me.

[Massageman]

If I think I need a mask, I'll wear it. If I don't, I won't. The WHO, CDC, misc gov't have missed the boat with astounding continuity. so pppfffhhhttt on those mandates.

[NamerOfStars]

People died because of the cowardice of fools who valued their own convenience over human lives. And uncountable billions more may die in the future, potentially centuries down the line, because of mass adaptation of an untested gene therapy, in blatant disregard of reverse transcriptase and horizontal gene transfer capability, both of which were proven decades ago.

All this, over a virus less dangerous than chicken pox.

If the requisite number of human sacrifices has not been made and more are demanded, you're going to see people shot in the streets over this.

[SinceYouAsked]

I never stopped. I still wear a mask when I go into a public space, particularly an indoor space. I live in an area where there are a lot of anti-vaxers and anti-maskers. So I still don't feel safe when being around people I don't know. I'm getting a little tired of it, tbh, but it's better than COVID. And I still don't go to concerts or other venues where there are a lot of people in a crowded space. Those are just super-spreader events, as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully, that will change one of these days, but I think another wave is coming because rules were relaxed too soon.

[Oigit]

Wouldn't be much of an issue for me. Mostly because I choose to not make it one. It's like making a broken ankle a issue knowing that their are people in a wheel chair or with fake legs out there. The mask isn't the issue. You choosing to make a big deal out of it is.

[suckmynuts369]

The protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn't protect the protected. Putz your face diaper on, and suck on your own nutsack and leave everyone else the fuck alone.

[Buntyp]

Get ready to go nuts. Nobody said that it's over. It's a respiratory disease and they aren't as prevalent in the warmer months of the year, but, come fall into winter, it will be mask time again, if you want to increase your chances of not getting infected, that is.
Yes, the masks are so fucking annoying but it's a really nasty disease that separates people at a time when no-one wants that. It's cruel and harsh. Don't go nuts. Just think about safety.

[Gigi2019]

Are you suggesting that people wear masks permanently? That seems unrealistic.

[Buntyp]

@Gigi2019 Until there's a really effective vaccine, it's going to be a part of the safety plan.

[Gigi2019]

No. It's not. In the United States of America, Natural Rights are at the apex of the laws of the land. It's Natural Rights, then the U. S. Constitution, then state rights. What I am telling you is that the government is the servant of the people, not the master of the people. If the people end masking, there is nothing that the government can do to reinstate it.

[Buntyp]

@Gigi2019 You want to avoid infection, wearing a mask is an effective aid. You want to die for Natural Rights, knock yourself out. Anyone waiting for the government to tell them what to do is already wasting their own time.

[Gigi2019]

This is all about mind control and forcing the compliance of the people to the government. You are just fooling yourself (and others) to keep suggesting that they are doing people any good. These worthless masks aren't stopping viruses... If you can smell strong odors through these masks (and we all can), they're useless for stopping airborne viruses and diseases.

[Buntyp]

@Gigi2019 How about you do what you think is right and I'll do what I think is right. Okay?

[Gigi2019]

Sounds great to me. So long.

[RationalMale]

It's like how me wearing jeans means when I fart in public, no one smells it bc the nice thick fabric.

[Amy10223]

@Gigi2019 ?

[Amy10223]

So many people are stubborn about these things. I agree with you, Buntyp.

[SinceYouAsked]

@Gigi2019 I don't know which United States of America you live in. But, in the U. S. where I live, the Constitution trumps all laws, then state laws. I'm not sure what "natural rights" you're talking about, but I'm pretty sure they won't stand up in a court of law. Just sounds like some alt-right rationalization.

[Amy10223]

@SinceYouAsked I agree

[Gigi2019]

@SinceYouAsked The U. S. Constitution is based on Natural Rights. Natural Rights are not based on the U. S. Constitution. The Founders of this country were Christians and based the law of the land on the concept of self determination. Actually study American history to confirm the veracity of this statement. While the U. S. Constitution can be destroyed by men, our rights as human beings (given to us by our Creator), can never be destroyed, altered, or taken away by men ergo these Natural Rights are greater than any laws set forth by human beings.

[Gigi2019]

@Amy10223 What do you want, Amy?

[Gigi2019]

@SinceYouAsked I dumbed it down for you. Natural Rights vs. Legal Rights... See the chart:

[SinceYouAsked]

@Gigi2019 I don't know where you got that chart. Probably some religious organization. I have nothing against religion. But the constitution clearly calls out a separation of church and state. Again, religious beliefs do not trump the constitution in a court of law. You can believe whatever you want to believe - until it interferes with the rights of others.
by the way - I have studied history. I also teach Citizenship in the World, Citizenship in the Nation and American Heritage to a youth group. I have in my possession a copy of the constitution. So please don't try to school me on the subject.

[Gigi2019]

@SinceYouAsked If you know (exactly) where I got the chart, why did you follow up by saying, "probably" some religious organization? That doesn't sound like you're certain. LOL. Clearly, you don't know what I am talking about. Let me ask you a question:

'Are human beings the masters of laws or, are laws the permanent masters of human beings after these laws are set forth?'

PS

Getting back to the science of the matter, let's hear from His Fraudship, Dr. Fraudci, about the efficacy of wearing face masks... which is the point of the primary question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23hvLiA2akE

[Buntyp]

@Gigi2019 What do you want, Gigi? Just to bully people into not saying things that you don't agree with? That shit does not have a good reputation in the history of politics. Get off the bullshit for a while and start considering the real conspiracy that's underway with the not so helpful 'revision' of the voting rights act that's running apace, with voting districts being structurally broken apart to prevent minority communities from being able to elect their own representatives. That's a real fucking conspiracy that might take a little more intellectual effort than the crap you've been spouting here. Wake up and smell the disenfranchisement--it's happening and it doesn't leave a good impression.
I really do not wish you ill in any way, but please put more effort into the real shit that's going on.

[Gigi2019]

Oh. I see. You post an opinion about COVID-19 masks and when I discuss the merits of your post with you, I am off-point and should be wringing my hands over voting rights disenfranchisement because I am a black, American woman? FUCK YOU. Don't feed me red herrings and non sequiturs and expect me to be shamed into the shadows, you pompous Leftard. Most black Americans claim the KKK/Commiecrat party and they should have their voting rights snuffed out, this go-round.

[Buntyp]

@Gigi2019 You're a bully. You are an obnoxious individual running around with a chip on their shoulder, challenging everyone who ever approaches you to knock that chip off.
Do yourself a favor and get some other source of emotional sustenance than the one you're using because it's pretty obviously not bringing you peace. Maybe you're the one who has a problem with you being black, American and female. It's certainly not me, and I very much resent your accusations because there is absolutely no justification for them.
I've noticed that you bully everyone that you have any interaction with here and I think you must be one of the most unhappy people that I've ever come across. I'm sorry for whatever happened to you but bullying others is not going to bring you any lasting relief from that. As I mentioned before, I do not wish you ill, but I will not allow you to accuse me of being in opposition to your opinions because of your nationality, race or gender. I disagree with your opinion because mine is different--not racist, nationalist, and definitely not misogynistic--just plain different, and that simple fact of having a different opinion is what is supposed to be allowed in the country that also allows you to have a different opinion of your own. We just have different opinions, that''s all. If you go back through this interaction, you might notice that I haven't been screaming about you talking down to me. Nonetheless, I do find your accusations of me being racist, misogynistic and nationalistic very offensive and if you should ever send a response, such as the one before, telling me--well, I don't think there's a benefit to repeating that--you will only be shaming yourself.

[Gigi2019]

You're a bully.

I guess "Gigi2019", the educated black American female with strong conservative leanings is too prominent a target for you not to simply cease and desist from harassing me. Is that it? If someone else is offended by my conversations with them, they know what to do. It's between A and B. C your way out. It's not up to you to police me; to police my opinions, my posts or my interactions with others. That is what makes you arrogant and the troll on this thread. I encourage anyone who thinks otherwise to scroll up and to objectively review all comments and the sequence of events. I am on this platform to chat with others and to exchange ideas. If that offends you, you're the one with a big problem, not I.

[SinceYouAsked]

@Gigi2019 I'm wondering what you hope to accomplish with all this? It's obvious you're not going to change opinions. So why keep poking the bear? I think you get off on it.

[Amy10223]

@SinceYouAsked Sometimes some people are not worth arguing with, as in this case. Mind control? Ridiculous. And poking fun at Fauci when he is the lead doctor and scientist of communicable diseases isn’t the smartest thing to do. People don’t know better, is all.

[rushbiOV_23]

In certain situations we should still be wearing them i. e. medical settings, pharmacies, public transportation etc. Be a shame to go this far & be completely complacent now especially with warmer temps & school shutting down for summer next month thereby removing one of the most likely places a variant would spread. Let’s put this bitch behind us so we can finally be together once again because a lot of people are in serious need of actual human interaction and some semblance of normalcy. It’s going to take years for many to recover from the mental health issues they now struggle with because of this f-ing pandemic & the absolute last thing they need is more isolation simply because we’ve decided a little too soon to quit doing something we’ve all grown accustomed to.

[SinceYouAsked]

@gguy767 Go look at the chart in the post above. Proves they are effective.

[SinceYouAsked]

@gguy767 I don't vape. It's bad for your health. Masks are good for your health.

[SinceYouAsked]

@gguy767 Then why do surgeons and other health care providers wear them? And how am I being a Nazi? I'm just following the science instead of the politics.

[MysticDevice]

I'm not doing it. I went along with it for 2 years, "for the greater good", and it clearly didn't work cause everyone still got sick anyway. I'm not wearin a mask again, and I'm not getting jabbed.

I don't know why people still trust the government when they tell you they know what's best. After everything they've done.

[Sour-rose]

I'd love it. Another wave of keep your fkin' mask on, stay the fk off the streets and don't touch people.

Not sarcasm but people being off the streets when I had to work was... peaceful. Also people suck so get rid of some more why don't ya.

[AviatorTom]

Where I live, we weren't forced to wear masks for COVID-19, though I did because it made sense. In fact, I still wear a mask (as do some others) in certain situations, for example a busy grocery store. If a more serious outbreak happens, I'll take appropriate precautions.

[suckmynuts369]

It made sense? A face diaper? That makes you look like an idiot?

[HighValue]

I wasn't wearing a mask when it was required before in public.
I wouldn't be surprised if they tried lockdowns again, conveniently when it gets closer to the election. Have to send out those fraudulent mail in ballots to the illegals and duplicates you know. Especially in CA.

[SinceYouAsked]

I voted via mail-in ballot during the last election because of COVID. And it's very possible I will do the same again next time, even though some states (including the one where I live) have tried to make it very hard. They can't win fairly, so they're trying to legislate an election result.
My ballot was not fraudulent. I am not an illegal. And I am a veteran. So please stop making such broad and sweeping generalizations.

[HighValue]

@SinceYouAsked NewYork and California tried to pass bills to allow illegals to vote.
Arizona had enough illegal votes cast to overturn the state's election results just from one county alone. There was an investigation and it is on record.

A fair vote would be one where every person was verified before their vote was counted. Once a ballot is separated from the signed envelope there is no way to tell it apart from the other legitimate ballots. Recounting an illegally cast ballot over again doesn't change anything. They need to be verified beforehand.
If people can't vote in person, how do they get food to live or work a job?

[SinceYouAsked]

Just because it's mailed in doesn't mean it's illegal or illegitimate. When those ballots are taken out of the envelope, they are verified at that point. Plus, I had to request that ballot. Just like my ID is checked when I walk into a polling place before they hand me the ballot, not after it's cast. No ballot can be verified after it's cast, whether in person or mailed in. So that's a red herring.
I used to stand in those lines. I used to go to caucuses when I was in a state where those were the process. But it may be a while before I do that again - if ever.
Also, I'm retired, so I don't have to be in a crowded work environment. But a large percentage of former office workers are still working from home. My oldest son still works from home and my youngest son only goes into the office on certain days. The company I used to work for has most of their people working from home. And most health care settings still require a mask for both patients and staff.
You can get groceries delivered or order ahead and pick it up at a drive-through area. I do go into the store, but I still wear a mask and I've now received my second booster. But why put myself at risk if I don't have to? Especially since there are a lot of anti-vaxers and anti-maskers here who could still end up infecting me if I'm in close quarters. You don't like being forced to wear a mask in public? I don't like being put in a situation where I have to be around people who refuse to.

[HighValue]

@SinceYouAsked Any excuse to allow illegal votes. They have already proved that there were tens of thousands of illegal votes cast in the 2020 election. And in CA all you need is a driver's license to register and vote the same day, the same licenses that they DID give to illegals. That is why now they are trying to switch over to what is called a "Real ID" with a gold bear on it because so many people in CA have licenses that are illegals and they DO vote. SF even encouraged them to vote years ago.

Anti-vaxxers is a term that ignorant people use. People that have got other vaccines, but refuse to get the covid vaccine because it is dangerous are called anti vaxxers by ignorant people.
Yes, the covid vaccine that has harmed multiple people that I know IRL and has KILLED one must be perfectly safe right? Only ignorant, dishonest people claim it is perfectly safe. The majority of people that got the vaccine where I work have got covid afterwards too. An the masks have been proven ineffective against the covid 19 virus.

I know, I know, truth and facts don't matter, only pushing a dishonest liberal agenda matters to people like you.

[molonski2]

I would NOT wear a mask , and would not adhere to any lockdown , as both are totally unreasonable requests and more important they DONT WORK !

There will be no more of this utter utter bullshit , ludicrous reaction , lockdowns and masks DESTROYED LIVES. Never ever ever.. what a joke !

[Losalt]

Well, me and my mum (in two risk groups) have moved away from the city, in part to avoid vivid.
We've been isolating ourselves pretty much since it arrived in Europe.

It's a relief to not have to deal with one of the really bad strains, we end up getting sick with the milf one in the end.
And we're just enjoying that while it lasts.

[SinceYouAsked]

I'm guessing that was supposed to say "mild one". 🤣

[Losalt]

Yes...
Bloody phone...
'covid
'mild one

[Losalt]

And there's probably other spelling errors hiding there...

[suckmynuts369]

@SinceYouAsked Yup, you totally protected yourself, that is an astonishing waste of resources and time. You do realize all the trips in vehicles, crossing streets, etc. You increased your chances of dying significantly more than if you would have just stayed put?

[Losalt]

@suckmynuts369
We hardly left the house.
Ordered groceries delivered home, no jogging or anything, just staying indoors for about two years.
Expensive?
Definitely, used út a *lot* of our saved up resources.
But beats the earlier corona strains.
This one we felt was worth risking though.

[Losalt]

Medicines delivered on the door too.

[Losalt]

Doctors appointments through video calls, the lot.

[Miristheiss]

F*** Covid. Just go back to life as normal. Don't do anything.
Just let it burn through until there is mass immunity. Most people are vaccinated now anyway.
Just live life and let what happens happen.

No more masks or mandates or anything. Just live life normal.

[sophiejo]

I still wear one for most of the day anyway, I've gotten used to it now and as I'm around a lot of people for my job it makes me feel safer I've gone over 2 years without getting covid and I don't want it now

[suckmynuts369]

Yeah, the vaxx and 8 boosters aren't enough, you need a useless mask. I've never had the coof, and never wore a mask. Funny how that face diaper gives you the courage to exit quarantine and enter the world. Just stay the fuck home.

[Anonymous]

I've been wearing a mask since March 2020 and have not stopped. I have health issues, and the last thing I need to pile on is Covid, so nothing would really change for me. The part of Covid that made me insane was quarantining. If we had to do that again, I'd do it of course, but I'm all but sure I would need some type of therapy to get through another round of that. Plus side of mask wearing has been that I haven't been sick with cold or flu in over 2 years.

[Roxxy99]

It is what it is. If the infection rate spikes and the masks are recommended again, I’ll wear it. It’s a small sacrifice on my part to help protect others. Plus, I work in a congregate facility…. so it’s not fair for me to be too irresponsible.

[genericname85]

i already know this will happen again. we haven't learned from the previous bullshit. we're just doing the same shit over again, even though sweden has proven that this isn't at all necessary. specially not when we consider that we're in the middle of a global warming crisis, where we should avoid creating plastic waste en mass... like the quicktests and the masks were such a horrible waste of ressources and such unneccesary pollution.

[suckmynuts369]

Global warming crisis? Libtards explain.

We are surely strange and a bit spoiled by modern lifestyle.

Some people are cursing masks and acting as if their freedom was attacked, while on the other side of the Earth, small kids are waking up to the sound of rockets and shells hitting their neighbourhood, never knowing whether they will live to see tomorrow.

[Anonymous]

I've never warn a mask throughout the entire pandemic. Anything that reduces your oxygen places you at a higher risk of viral infection. When you breath in, viruses and pathogens are oxidized. Now bear in mind pollution, food and water already have inadequate oxygen so wearing a mask is simply foolish!

Hospitals pump extra oxygen into the building to make up for the impact of mask wearing...

[8Bit_LYNX]

Almost 3 years in, always wore a mask, worked in retail where the exposure is sky high and I never got a viral infection, even less COVID. 💪🏻😂👏🏻 “Higher risk” 😂😂

[DarkWinterNights]

@8Bit_LYNX, Natural firebreaks exist for any viral infection. You’re probably immune. My mom took care of multiple people with Covid, including myself and never even got a sniffle. Meanwhile my work was super paranoid about Covid, mandatory masks, temperature checks, exposure quarantines, social distancing, plexiglass shields, sterilized every night and Clorox wipes at every desk, etc. The entire office got it at the same time, and this was the original strain, not Delta or Omicron.
