You claimed that this was happening so as to clean up the gene pool because apparently only people with dodgy genetics now catch covid19. This is surely the most talented virus ever as it can find people with dodgy genes, and people who don't wear a mask properly or sit too close to anyone whilst eating a €9 meal.

Ask yourself the question is life worth living if your constantly in fear of death or being on a ventilator or whatever the latest absolute sh1te the lockdown/mask brigade or as I like to call them the true covidiots come out with.It's not a choice between wearing a mask or being on a ventilator it's a choice between freedom and fear.

GT89 wrote: » Whether it be fear of getting the virus or fear of spreading it it's all fear at end at the end of the day . The masks serve a constant reminder of this fear. Maybe if people just forget about the virus and stop thinking about it the fear would disappear. The masks serve as a constant reminder of this fear.

It will not be different here too. If this is "highly contagious killer" so is common cold or flu. The masks serve as a constant reminder of wrong policy being applied. It has more to do with saving faces of people who threw us under the bus instead of doing something meaningful on this one.
SeaBreezes wrote: » So, your saying you dont feel fear wearing a seatbelt ... gotcha. Also, way i look at it. If everyine wears a mask the vulnerable and healthy can all move around without fear of infection. No masks and only the healthy can move around without fear.

patnor1011 wrote: » A little comprehension goes much further than trying to be woke. Yes - covid is on par with flu or common cold when it comes to a person with serious underlying health issues. People who suffer from serious health complications will likely die when they catch bad cold, flu or covid for that case. Trying to argue which one if them 3 is worse is a fools errand as all of them do have potential to bring in a death to the person who is seriously sick already.

That nuerosurgeons in US could not believe they witnessed blood clots being reformed as they dissolved them in surgery? That covid19 autopsises show scarring and clots in lungs kidneys and brains? That there is scarring in asymptomatic kids cases? (With advice to drs to wstch possible fertility issues due to scarring of testes, they dont know yet.) Oh and its a coronavirus so if you do get a mild dose antibodies will protect you from 3 to 9 months but after that we are not sure if reinfection is a thing? (And we are only hitting the 9 month mark now.) Point is we dont know. Excess deaths alone in any country should alert even the most dim witted this is not on par with the flu. Well,it is on par with one flu. Spanish flu. Even in 1918 with that crazy death toll there were many antimaskers too.

There are always odd cases of some strange or extreme reactions like it happens with any other disease yet data shows that this is a mild disease with no real damage to absolute majority of people who got it so far. You are the one responsible for your own wellbeing. If you feel like mask is going to help you then by all means wear one. If you are afraid you may catch it then advice is to stay home. If you feels like this is the end of the world so be it, it is your feeling. However, you can not force your feelings on someone else. This extreme scaremongering is really getting old.

Society decides all the time on things that are for the benefit of others so you shouldn't do, for now this is merely the wearing of a mask and has to be one of the least restrictive regulations on anyone's liberty that has ever been brought in by any government but which has a benefit for others.

Its been a feature of our reaction to covid from day one. Someone said elsewhere around here we're burning down the barn to kill a spider. And led by a months long media fear campaign the majority of people fave fully jumped on that and lost all sense of reality with regards to risk levels. And because they feel they represent the mainstream opinion they dont think they could possible be wrong or even a little over the top and they have delegated critical thinking to the likes of George Lee. And they scrape the internet for every morsel of info out there that talks this virus up permanently reminding themselves how right they are and so we ended up in this self perpetuating cycle of fear and overreaction. Every info that talks this virus up has dozens of 'possible' and' may' and 'can' in it but will be taken as gospel. Anything that talks about sober assessment and rationale will have to be peer reviewed and certified and whatnot. And if that isn't enough then we just decide 'ah you cant believe those guys anyway' or they must have an agenda. I can understand it to some degree. Nobody wants to put grannie at risk and so the people who call for sober risk assessments and rationale appear to them callous and cold and heartless. But when we look back at this in a couple of years it will be one massive WTF.
