Vaccine

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.

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.

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?

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.
