Since this all started, I know 8 people who have tested positive.

5 of them were completely asymptomatic

1 got the sniffles for a week and that was it.

1 was a man in his 70s who got symptoms. He got treatment, was bed ridden for a couple of days, but bounced back. He tested positive very early into the spread of the virus and at the time, we all thought he was going to die. Last I heard, he was back to playing golf.

And 1 other was the only death I know of: He was a bedridden 83 year old stroke victim living in a nursing home where COVID ran rampant. He died, and it was sad, but wasn't a total shock either.

Based on my very small sample size, the virus isn't the second coming of the black plague.

At this point, we know who the high risk potentials are (70+ aged, obese, and those already sick with something else) and we know how to be careful about this. Also, we've been treating this thing for over half a year now, so I think even if say I wound up hospitalized by this thing, I'd still feel pretty good about my chances.

Can't we just, oh, I don't know, work to protect the high risk people and carry on as normally as possible? I don't see the reason to shut down the world over something that has a 99% survival rate.

My nearly 100 year old grandmother, who's had something around 6 strokes, and lives in a nursing home got it, and was over it in a few days. To be fair, she's a mean Scottish woman that the devil himself couldn't kill, but she was in that high-risk category.

My mother got it and while she is a near 60 year old woman and she had a fever for a little bit, but after a week she was fine. In fact, I think I and my dad probably got it from her, but we were completely asymptomatic.I really don’t see why we needed to shut down the world for 7 months for what is a flu other than gay political kayfabe. Just get those most at risk to places that are well sanitized and quarantined, but don’t prevent everyone else from making a living. Also, masks are clearly for you not spreading the virus, not to prevent you from getting it. I don’t know where people are getting this disinformation from. The only reason doctors wear them is to not infect a patient while they are operating on them with some pathogen in their breath/spittle. Literally just wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds and don’t sneeze or cough in people’s general direction.

Yeah but wearing a mask, then taking it off, then putting it on again contaminates the mask, making it pointless, or even puts you higher at risk.

If you want to wear a mask then fine, but you shouldn't be forced to. The virus isn't even deadly enough to warrant mandatory mask orders.
 
Nobody, absolutely nobody, actually keeps their mask on 100% correctly 100% of the time they are in public. Everybody pulls it away, pokes their nose out, or just takes the damn thing off when they're alone. Plus, masks get littered everywhere because everybody fucking hates them. It's not just that people are babies about them, it's that masks are awful to wear, not helpful, and they' make people feel dehumanized and scared.
People are only doing this shit so the scared pissants don't throw a fit.

If you hate masks but have a cuck governor I recommend wearing a face shield, they're easier to breathe in and still count as a face covering. Hell, go out in a helmet just for the fuck of it, it still counts.
 
Still don't know anyone who died of—nor even had lasting side-effects from—COVID, but someone at my school committed suicide the other day.

A friend tipped me off that some ladies on Etsy are selling something called "compliance masks" which are basically cheesecloth or some other basically sheer or nearly nonexistent material (one was crocheted with huge breathing holes lol) so you can say "THERE I have a fucking mask on now get lost" and still breathe normally." You don't even need to spend that kind of money, you can just buy a $2 piece of cheesecloth and tie it on like a bandana.

Face shields are the best.

Seems like the stealthier way to go about things would be to get a rectangle shaped mask made of a light blue fabric that looks "official" from across the room or at a glance, but is actually not that thick. Maybe make it from broadcloth or something similar. By the time a mask nazi notices that it isn't up to reddit-paranoia-standards the errand could be nearly finished.

Of course I suspect anyone wearing mesh masks aren't wanting to NOT be noticed.
 
The Atlantic flip-flopped about schools lockdown. https://archive.vn/o53L4 I think Cartman won't be happy about this and btw, some Youtubers on Styx's vlog mentionned some good details worth to save for posterity.

At this point, all the schools being closed might entice more people into having their kids be homeschooled. They’d probably learn a lot more useful things than the propaganda spewed out by the public educational system.

I think this is exactly why they're opening up school again. Parents were getting fed up and signing up to homechool their kids in droves. They realized losing their indoctrination centers is way more important.

@UntimelyDhelmise to answer your question in the COVID thread about why it worked this time: watch the latest Computing Forever video. I think he brings it up around 15 minutes in.
 
It is now offical.
moving into level 5 for 6 weeks or shit like that.
This is level 5:
