Vaccine

An emerging issue is the continued finacial burden of those with breakthrough cases.. Those like DAD that can hang from home can be sanctimonious.

Vaccines were sold as the silver freedom bullet, back to normal, back to work. Companies/small businesses are still sending employees home and mandating 10-14 day quanrantines, many without pay. Unfortunately life for most isn't as neat and tidy as DAD portrays or lives. Imagine having to forgoe Birthday Parties and sleepovers...how brave.
We have the same mandatory quarantines, also often without pay.

They just kick in less often because we have fewer cases. Part of the parallel universe thing.
 
People walking on trails wearing masks.

Why exactly?

I know a lot of people are not terribly bright. And when I see them walking outside with a mask, it lets the rest of us know the elevator does not go to the top.
Your state has 2750 covid deaths per million residents. My county has about 970.

I agree that some people are having trouble understanding how respiratory disease spreads. But maybe you should be looking a little closer to home to figure it out.

You know, maybe get your own house in order before you start telling the rest of us how it’s done.

If y'all are cancelling kids birthday parties, hiking with mask outdoors, going in N95s to supermarkets and not letting your kids go to sleepovers, not sure you guys should be in a position to lecture anyone either.

It’s not about the lecture. It’s about being able to look around and take in information from the world around you.

Singapore’s plan worked. Santa Clara’s plan sort of worked. Alabama’s plan did not work.

So, if everyone in Singapore is wearing an N95 to the market, and they have very low hospitalizations and deaths, then maybe they know something you don’t.

More dried seaweed?

Again as has been pointed out, you cannot explain why deaths vary. CA has deaths per million similar to other states. And yet some states have more deaths per million, some are about the same, and others less.

You continue to ignore that because you really cannot explain it because it goes against your theory on the virus. The reality is different states have different types of populations. AZ for instance has had rather high deaths on our Indian reservations.

Now tell me why someone hiking on a trail should be wearing a mask? Further as you state they probably are vaxxed in your area. What exactly would be the rationale? You said your area has roughly 90% vaxx rate.

It's almost as if you are saying that stopping COVID is the most important thing ever, even at the cost of robbing kids of their childhoods with their sleepovers and birthday parties, or at the cost of people's livelihoods, or at the cost of Australia and her liberties. You've always said a cost/benefit analysis discussion needs to be had, but then always refuse to actually do it.

Tell me how Singapore's plan is working again?




 
Pretty soon it will be the pandemic of the "unboostered". Then what.
The myopic don't realize the "just do this and it's over" is an infinity mirror configuration where they can only see the mirrors they create. The first mirror was a two-week lockdown, the next was wearing a mask, then it was the vaccine, currently, it's vaccine and mask, as you point out @what-happened, the next mirror will add a booster to that. Maybe the next one will be booster + N95s. Fortunately, as Californians, we should have an inside track as I hear that Newsome has a guy in China that gave him a great deal on masks earlier in the pandemic.
 
I’ve enjoyed the conversation, but this is starting to sound more like an unwanted ‘intervention’ than a discussion.

Sometimes we all just need to respect a difference of opinions.

Not when those differences of opinions mean closing or restricting biz, making kids jump through safety measures that make no difference, proposals that require people to show papers to live life.

At that point it is far removed from a simple difference of opinion. One group wants to take away the rights of individuals and biz.

Two items for you today, and the Rand Paul one is number two. Number one is this: the southern spike in COVID numbers is over. Note just how dramatically hospitalizations in Florida have come down:

What's interesting about this is that no major behavioral changes in Florida have coincided with this dramatic decline.

Yet we're constantly told that bad behavior -- not following the rules laid down by our "public health experts" (a designation that makes me laugh now) -- is what makes the numbers go up, and good behavior makes them go down.

If that's true, then what made these go down?

No answer from the lizard people, and not even the slightest curiosity about an answer.

...says the "conservative" tool who knowingly ushered in a dementia ridden babbling idiot who has single-handedly damaged more in this great country in 9 months than Obama did in 8 years.

Tell me, how many unvaccinated illegals and refugees get resettled in Santa Clara and flood your kids schools?
