The Politics of a Health Crisis

I bet kidney donations go down after that.

It can't help.

So now masks are political/religious. Apparently Jesus is the only protection we need.

I was hoping folks would be sensible about the opening but now it's looking wide open.

During the Spanish Flu epidemic, people were attacked for wearing masks, for the exact same reasons.

It will happen now, too.

Also, yes, there's this public attitude that the worst is behind us. It's not accurate.

Hey!

Most of the numbers are hocus pocus when dealing with Schrodinger's virus.
Without testing nobody knows if they have it, or had it, so they don't know if they now have immunity.
I've also read a couple of Doctors say they aren't sure having it gives immunity, plus they don't know if getting sick is any more beneficial than being an asymptomatic carrier.
Seems to me if you've had it and are immune, you could still be a carrier. So do unto others before they do you.
I think the masks are more to prevent you from spreading it than protecting you from catching it until you get up into the very expensive models.

Our company guidelines are to wear our masks and have any adults in the home wear them as well. I had a new client refuse this week cuz Jesus, that made me realize along with the PA red v blue mask fight that we are so divided we can't even agree to try to help one another.

I also saw an anti-mask poster get banned from a Facebook group dedicated to safely opening small local businesses. He may have been a fake account,..
