TeaMonkey Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 The only conclusion I can come to with the massive rise in infections in Europe combined with the every stricter mask mandates is that...masks don’t work and they might even be making the situation worse. Which is why the WHO, CDC and everyone else was not recommending masks until the the politics, sorry I mean science changed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CG1 Blue Posted October 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2020 'People must brace for new-normal lifestyle for at least two years before Covid-19 is contained' I disagree. The general population will not tolerate 2 more years of this. We have two camps now. Those who say we need to lockdown and get this virus under control. And those who say the virus will not go away so let the vulnerable self isolate and let's direct all efforts (and resources) into helping them do that so the rest of us can get back to normal. From my own observations I'd say the latter camp is on the increase and the split is around 50/50 at this point. Before long it'll be 30/70, and that's when the politicians will have to abandon the failing lockdown policies. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before long it'll be 30/70, and that's when the politicians will have to abandon the failing lockdown policies. IMO the two camps are those that have a guaranteed income, and those that don't have an income because their work ended because of lockdown. I get a pension so I get money despite not working, but I still don't want the lockdown culture, even if I end up catching it, as it's causing too many people to suffer, IMO. those who say the virus will not go away so let the vulnerable self isolate and let's direct all efforts (and resources) into helping them do that so the rest of us can get back to normal. Count me in that camp. If I was "assisted" to isolate my life would improve, as it's hard to get by on the pension and it's not possible to be isolated in my accommodation, which is not ideal but better than living in my car as some have to do now.

Vaccination is NOT immunization! ???????????????? Vaccines work by stimulating the body to make a defence against a particular virus. Far as I'm aware that makes them "immune" to that disease. When I google "vaccine and immunization difference" I get the response Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease. Immunization: A process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.

In Holland they built emergency hospitals in March but they have never used them...The USA had those cruiseships as emergency hospital, never used it.... In Germany they had 50 infected people every week in a 100.000 population..and from those 50 infected people 0.13% will die....that's 0.065 people for every 100.000 healthy ones every week. That makes 6.5 weekly deads for every 10.000.000 germans.....Is that reason enough for a lockdown?

If there are mostly white sheep in the herd, germs or dangers that could befall the black sheep would be kept at bay because the white sheep surrounding it would make it difficult for the invaders,” said Dr Yong. Pathetic analogy. He went to the much-vaunted Chula for this? Why can't this guy go away and S-T-F-U? Just another monkey with a banana. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's not totally fair to compare it with the flu. We don't lockdown when the annual flu season is approaching and we know it will cost x amount of lives each year, but that's because we have a vaccine for the flu. If we didn't have a vaccine the fatalities would rise quite a bit and maybe we would see more restrictions. I'm not a fan of lockdowns anymore after seeing the data for Covid-19 deaths, and I think that healthy people not in the dangezone should be able to get back to their normal life with no restrictions what so ever. Isolate the elders and weakened until a vaccine is ready for them, and those working with elders could wear protective gear, just like Healthcare workers. It might sound a bit cold and cynical, but I think that solution is better than ruining the world economy, which could end up killing more people than the virus itself. It probably will when we in 2 years time look back at cold data. I'm not so concerned about covid-19, when it comes to fatalities, but I am a bit worried about all the side effects that even the younger generation reports. There is no perfect solution to this mess, but when experts in their fields are on both sides of the fence, it's no wonder the population is too.

Better yet where do the masks go once they come off. Do they go in the bin if disposable or if washable are they immediately thrown in the wash basin and washed with bleach or another cleanser that will kill the virus. Then do you shower, or just go and eat something in your house, possibly contaminating everything. You never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
