Dude just wear a mask. It fucking works.

I've been to Asia last Christmas, they've been done with this covid shit for a while. People are just going about like normal, heck they're even having trouble getting people to vaccinate because hey don't see it as such a big deal any more. All because they wore some masks and did what they're supposed to for a few months.

"Muh freedom" is great and all but there is something called common sense.

You don't get the idea between recommendations and compulsion do you?

I never said not to wear a mask.

Edit: If "public health" and mandates as the one above which you advocate for are so reasonable - why not charge ever person that doesn't wear a condom during sex $1500 each time. Between STDs and unwanted pregnancies - that would make sense correct?

What about obesity - If you're a fat piece of shit placing strain on the health care system because you're overweight - $1500 per every 3lbs you're overweight should suffice. Because we're about "health" right?

What about sunscreen - cancer and specifically skin cancer can be greatly reduced wearing sunscreen and long apparel. If a person doesn't and contracts skin cancer.. $1500 fines should fix it.

Don't get how you miss the point so easily.

Want common sense?

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/04/dr-fauci-on-why-its-important-to-wear-a-mask-after-getting-your-covid-vaccine-.html

That's right - you got the vaccine - to bad.. keep wearing a mask. Because, you know, common sense.

I mean if Asia can get it right - we're going to get it super right.

It's a money grab, not "common sense".

Living in Iowa is a good thing. We went pretty much fully back to normal as of midnight last night.

(or maybe that's tonight :thinking: )

Either way, we have broken free from Egypt.

[Neveragain]

Looking at some numbers now. Iowa has been one of the more lenient states when it comes to covid protocol, New York among the most stringent. Iowa has had roughly 160 deaths per 1000, New York is at 228 deaths per 1000.

Oof, and Florida, who pretty much said fuck it and had spring break anyway, 127 deaths per thousand.

You know that population density varies widely among those locations, right? And that pandemic precautions in a New York lifestyle look a great deal different than life in Iowa or Florida, right?

This would almost hold water if Florida had a higher count per 1000 than Iowa. I have lived in both locations and Florida is much more densely populated.

Oh bullshit. Most everyone can breathe with a mask on. They reduce areosol which the virus uses to spread. If people have medical issues then sure they ought not to but then those folks should stay home. There is no debate on the science. Or common sense which people are so fond of bringing up in arguments. This virus is deadly, contageious, and we have to take drastic steps if we don't want a total collapse of society.

Please wear multiple masks.. not to protect them from covid.. but to protect them in case your monumental stupidity is somehow contagious.

That would be the end of civilization as we know it.

There's no common sense in any of this. Masks don't do anything.

Please tell me why it's ok to take off your mask when you sit down at a table in a restaurant?

Now we're being told we need double-mask to stay safe.

All this for the .01% chance you'll die from this thing.

Why does the US have the highest number of cases and deaths?

[Fortybox]

Why does the US have the highest number of cases and deaths?

Because the US has been the most transparent with its numbers and classifications (although there are still issues with even that).

Please use common sense. Right now if you were to take these numbers at face value it puts the fatality rate at 1.7%; however, common sense would tell you two things here:

1) More people have the virus than the 27MM cases
2) Classification of covid deaths is likely overstated (i.e. death as a complication of covid but not covid in and of itself)

Common sense would tell you that the freak out over all of this, double masks and all, is an incredible exaggeration. But then again, you don't have any common sense at all whatsoever. You're literally one of the many morons out there that is perfectly fine going into a restaurant and sitting down at a table with your mask off, breathing in the same air as the other people in the room as you, and then feeling "protected" putting your mask on when you stand back up, walk through the room to the door and back out to your car.

None of what you listed is contagious other than STDs though, and you kinda have to stick your dick in something in order for that to happen.

So...people with medical issues that prevent them from wearing a mask should stay home, but not that 87 year old great grandma who already has 4837920423 underlying conditions and is as high risk as high risk can get, they're good to go and it should be up to everyone around them to mask up instead of them simply staying home like the person you mentioned that can't wear a mask?

He made an argument in favor of wearing a mask in a convertible with the top down while driving down the interstate not that long ago, so there's really no limit to the dumb shit he'll say.

Like this two mask thing...if two masks are required, then that would logically indicate that one mask doesn't work. Back will never question anything like this, and is probably wearing 3 masks now with a diaper over them for extra woke points.

Not only that, STDs are two parties knowingly doing things with each other, other than just existing near each other. If you don't want syphilis, you have the choice to just not bang someone. It is pretty impossible to keep yourself 100% isolated from every human that exists, though.

Next move - making it illegal a woman telling a man they're on birth control and they're not.

Next move - every facet of life will require government oversight.

As an example - The fact states have laws against anal/oral or any other activity that occurs between two consenting adults is utterly asinine as is. All in the name of "public health" though.

And in before "but it makes sense and you must hate women if you don't support this new law!" - I think anyone that does this is a complete jackass and puts people at risk. My point is about how Government is going to 100% tell you how to live and these are just starting points. The same issue I have with MANDATES - not guidelines or recommendations that any sane person understands are reasonable.

Mask or no mask, the whole pandemic situation has made it impossible to go back to work. I still wait for the restaurant I used to work to call, and instead of that, I'm stuck home doing a shitty job that is underpaid. So I had to look for a way to add an extra income, and joker388 (https://www.vietnamwar.net/) was a great way as I have always been a great blackjack player. I had some great winnings back in the day on a few occasions I went, so it's natural to make money out of this for me. People always think that casinos are a waste of time, but it really depends on the place you choose.
