Wait until you see what's happening outside of this country 

Are you going to attempt to correlate the situation in India with the United States? 

 

India is one of the most Vitamin D deficient populations in the world, largely due to malnutrition.  Studies suggest 90% of the population is deficient to severely deficient.   Add that to poor sanitation and you have millions of juicy hosts for viruses to feast upon. 

 

It's why viruses historically run roughshod over India.  You're only hearing about it now because it advances a narrative, but India is routinely fighting viral, bacterial and fungal plagues of all kinds, especially in its cities.

No

 

He's worried about irreversible permanent damage due to mitigation efforts.

 

The United States is not alone in trying to mitigate damage and lagged behind many countries until vaccinations had caught us up recently.

Wasn't it 15 days? I think that was #orangemanbad's idea - I recall they couldn't even wait that long. 

 

You're worried about the permanent damage indefinite mitigation without stated (constantly moving) metrics are going to do to this country that could be irreversible

 

Outside of never being able to remove our double masks again, can you name a couple examples of the permanent damage you're referring to? 

 

Permanent brick and mortar closings 

 

Means cities and thus revenue gone

 

Election seasons rife with fraud because it's dangerous

 

Everything will be a public health crisis bc they know you're good ceding power to them.  And you are.  

 

Loss of learning bc teachers have to play ppe specialists, virtually teach, and teach for the 25% of high school kids that go back in person.  They will never recover what's about to be 2 and a half years of a lost life they knew and situation they resent.  

 

Loss of socializing as normal....loss of classmates opting virtual.  Just Isolation and loss.  

 

Psychological and mental health toll on adults and kids....incalculable.  Not a number you'll see on CNN.

 

Faith in the system gone because well its racist; 5670 goal posts moves; and lie after lie.  

 

Republic over.  You might get sick you know.

They will never recover? Who are "they?" The students? The teachers? Very vague here. It's also been 2 years but I'll give you 2 and 1/2 since I know how much you exaggerate things.

Permanent isolation and loss... got it

I'll agree here - the psychological and mental health toll on the families of the over 600K Americans who lost a loved one to Covid while half the country screamed HOAX IDGAF is incalculable.

Because I truly now believe they never thought it was super deadly world should stop deadly.

 

They wanted Trump gone and if that did it fine.  It's just at the time, 7 plus months to the election.  

 

That derangement has clouded all logic and reason.

Cases will spike in the summer in Florida again as people go indoors to their AC homes and the media will pounce on him again.

Are you rooting for cases to spike? And if people are vaccinated why would it spike?

When will people stop pretending that any of this has anything to do with "the science?"

 

Full on virtue signaling and fear mongering at this point.

You have a right to question my intellect, what conclusion you reach is not really my concern.  You're not the first to question it, I'll gut it out and see it through. 

 

I'm assuming that since you only referenced "everything is a public health crisis" that you agree with everything else on the list?  

 

My point was simply that there is certainly credence to what @Big Blitz shares.  While I'm certainly not in agreement with everything he suggests, I respect his willingness to do the heavy lifting on many of these issues.  No, I don't think everything is a public health crisis.  Athlete's foot, for example, is not and I don't see the government turning our lives upside down over it any time soon.  I do see this pandemic and the way death and disease was tracked as problematic and manipulative. 

 

I followed protocol, distanced, avoided, masked, sanitized my hands like Dr Jill at a tonsillectomy, ***** down travel, avoided visiting with elderly members of my family and watch as the world shut down.  I got my vaxx.  I knew people who got sick and in a few cases, some who got really sick, and in a few more, some that died. 

 

Still, I've had this burning question about masses of people gathering to demonstrate and nary a word about the massive and irresponsible danger that those gatherings posed to us all.  I watched Fauci shrug his shoulders and behave like a mousey school marm as what we were being told (science dudes) and what was being done conflicted.  Never made sense to me, either they were willing to stand idly by and let the virus rage then, or they knew the near complete lockdown then was a waste of time. 

 

Now suddenly, maybe outside stuff is ok.  Whatever.

As I said in my reply, it's not that I agree with everything as you've outlined over the past few months, but what you've said makes sense in many cases.

Logical fallacies typically make sense on the surface hence the reason many dimwits use them to reason their arguments.

What is any of this even about anymore? We’ve recorded millions of cases across the United States over more than a year now, and there is as close to ZERO difference in the mortality rate as would statistically possible from State to State even with completely different public regulations and recommendations. Whatever social behaviors and habits that these expert clowns are so sure works, is definitely not the answer. Go get vaccinated and let’s leave all of this behavioral nonsense to the wayside. 

[Big Blitz]

Of course we need to *debunk* MIT!!!

 

 

 

 

The MIT study that said social distancing does little to stop COVID-19 indoors didn't look at the main way the virus spreads

Of course not.  I want everyone vaccinated.  I said last summer and defended FL, TX, AZ, etc. that it's the weather stupid.  Outdated heating and AC units combined with people staying indoors more makes it more likely to spread.
