Yes, we know your county has a lower BMI, younger population, more wealth and higher % of Asian community members than communities that have had differing Covid outcomes.

Interesting that you give credit to having an Asian population.

The benefit of an Asian population is cultural. It kick started mask acceptance for us.

You feel less weird wearing a mask because the tai chi folks in the park already have them on.

It meant we were busy shopping for masks while OC was busy sending death threats to their public health officials.

Stop. We've been over this. The reclusive, germaphobe tech people in SC county are secretly thrilled that the pandemic has (1) increased their choices of delivery ten-fold (2) allowed them to stay at home in their pajamas all day while still collecting a paycheck, and (3) allowed them to remain anonymous and not need to speak to anyone when they do leave the house since they wear a mask.

When one third of the population refused to follow the rules, I had two choices.

I could help spread covid, knowing that I was increasing cases, deaths, and hospitalizations. Or I could follow the rules, knowing that it was a drop in the bucket.

Mostly, I chose to follow the rules to try to help. But that doesn’t stop me from being mad at the assholes who never lifted a finger to help the entire time.

You are spinning circles with the deniers (the assholes). They only care about themselves.

I'm telling people that we just killed a half million people by being stubborn about masks and indoor dining.

I didn't expect flowers and a standing ovation.

I expected people to put their hands over their ears and chant "La, la, la. I can't hear you."

Perfect end to your run this day. You are back to thinking we could have saved 500000 people by just shutting down indoor dining and masking. That wasn’t even what Japan, Singapore or South Korea did. And even they had deaths and cases.

either this is finally a tacit admission of what we all know to be true (that you think australia did the right thing and that the goal should have been to use Australian methods towards zero covid) or you are the one sticking your fingers in your ears saying “la la la is la” while dreaming of a fantasy.

Yes, Singapore had cases and deaths.

Less than 1% of what we did, even after accounting for population.

They did a lot right, and we did a lot wrong.

You can call it a fantasy. Or you can admit that we screwed up. One tiny part of that screw up was your decision to spend 16 months bad mouthing basic health advice.

Again you are neglecting what heavily masked heavily vaxxed Singapore is doing now, and the steps they took before which went way beyond masks and indoor dining

and maybe I wouldn’t have bad mouthed basic health advice if it actually made sense. A partial lists: deliberate lies about masks and herd immunity thresholds, cloth masks bandanas and gaiters, masks are better than vaccines, outdoor masks, outdoor lockdowns, outdoor churches bad but blm protests fine, outdoor dining bans, shutting schools, shutting youth sports, or now the masks to the table on indoor dining. Great track record there dad4. Real winners.

Not one of those complaints does anything to explain why Singapore’s policies worked and ours did not. Most of it falls into the category of “why couldn’t I do the things I wanted to do”.

I don‘t think we can find a solution by asking “how can I do more of what I wanted to do anyway”. We had more than enough people asking that question, and it didn’t seem to work.

We need to ask “what did Singapore do that we did not do?”
