India? Conventional wisdom explanation for India is that religious festivals make for great super spreader events. You had a sudden change in behavior about a month before all hell broke loose. Right up there with Michigan for proof that behavior matters.
Makes more sense than immunity. It’s hard to argue that in February India had immunity, but that stopped being true in April.
No power of attorney and old man had $10,000,000 to manage, not $2mill. Don't put your trust in money is what my friend is learning . Dude lied to his own son for reasons only step mother and attorney know of and won't share. My pal was banking on $500,000, so he could quit his job. Instead he got a bag full of lies and worse, everyday he wakes up to work, he's reminded in rush hour traffic, "why?" And "what if."
You would understand the flu season masks better if you had more concern for vulnerable people outside your own household. It has very little to do with whether I personally am at risk.
It isn‘t that I have no concept of risk. It is just that my concept of risk includes the risk to other people. Yours does not.
The seroprevalence in India has been measured at 30-50% after the first outbreak...yet this outbreak is worse....either we believe they are nearing 90%, or there has been a breakthrough in prior immunity. We won't know for sure until the issue is studied in several months but there have been reports of reinfections in India, particularly among people who did not get it seriously the first time around. Or it could be that both the PCR and antibody tests are off.
Religious festivals in India are held primarily outdoors. The other culprit cited has been BJP rallies but also held outdoors for the most part. A likelier explanation, which corresponds to the US corn cycle and the outbreak in the Midwest, and the European spring planting cycle, is agriculture. Areas that rely on human fertilizer got hit harder and earlier than those that didn't.

trying to make a case for the long history, of mask wearing to combat infectious diseases, in the absence of, is where you lose credibility.....again.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), a doctor, is likely to keep getting under the skin of the COVID police for refusing to get vaccinated, as he's already contracted the virus. The senator called into John Catsimatidis' radio show on Sunday morning.
The entire clip is worth listening to, but what people are noticing is Paul's following exchange. Castimatidis asked the senator if employees should be "compelled" to have the vaccine. Sen. Paul provided his insight on that:

Yike$!!!! It happens. I have a few friends that went through something similar.
Free will is what I call it. I choose to eat super healthy and that makes me healthy by choice. I want cheeseburger and fries but the more I say no the better I look and and feel. My wife loves how I.we.t from triple chin to one chin. 6 pac is next but it's super hard to keep. I told myself if I fast for 5 days I will get to 175 and 30 waist Bruddah man.

Lumber has become too expensive to build homes. Glass houses are more affordable wouldn't you say?
400% increase. Gas has doubled and will soon hit $6 and climbing. In fact, go electric bro.

American's are always looking for the Silver bullet. They don't realize that they are free to choose and well equipped to mitigate and handle infections of all kinds.

Once the virtue signaling crowd figures out that high gas prices make their alt energy plans cost prohibitive, thing$ will change.
The festivals are outdoors, but crowded beyond belief. If you place a few million people in the holy section of the Ganges, they will need to rub elbows. Look at the pictures. You get a very large scale version of the Italian soccer stadium outbreak, which was also outdoors.
Add to that the need to travel to get to the festival. The festival is outdoors. The dinners and hotel stays are not.
Solar for residences and small businesses is cost effective and efficient, one of the few alt energies that are. Net Energy Metering is what makes it cost effective; however the California Democrats sponsored AB1139 would eliminate NEM, which would eliminate rooftop solar. The Green Movement is just a facade for the left, at the end of the day their allegiance lies with big corporations, in this case the big utility companies.

You would think that by now they (the powers that be) would say OK, it is over. Go back to living life.
Here's something else from two weeks ago: the Canelo Alvarez fight in Texas, a fight attended by over 73,000 people. No indoor boxing event in history has been attended by more people. Nobody checked vaccination status, and not many masks.
Let's check in on the devastation this event surely caused:
The ongoing wickedness in Canada and Europe is predicated on pretending that these things aren't happening. They have to pretend that mass events haven't been going on in the U.S. without any discernible effect.
You'd think the populations of those countries would be demanding an explanation as to why they're still locked down, but, well, I guess they didn't value living as much as you and I do.
Despite the groupthink in entertainment, academia, and (most of) government, there's a clear momentum in favor of restoring normality.
But the long-term effects of what's been done to us are many, and severe.
Now that they've discovered how compliant and unquestioning the general public truly is, who knows what the politicos and what we laughingly call the "public health" establishment will get up to next.
Not to mention vaccine passports, the ongoing wreckage to the economy, inflation fears that this time even the Establishment is worried about, assaults on civil liberties, a school system based on propaganda, and plenty more.

It's simply a lack of leadership, and a fear of deviating from group think.

Ironic how the follow the Science crowd mounted a full on attack on Science. "The elevation of Moral posturing over truth".
