Covid Returning
Jan 6, 2024 07:38:37 #
The local hospital had 26 Covid cases at the beginning of December. Within two weeks, it had 41 cases. A nearby hospital has 80 Covid patients. These are all people who are so sick that they need hospitalization, and it does not include the stay-at-home people who have Covid.
I've always heard that those blue masks were not effective for Covid, and I believe it. Just out of curiosity, I used one for sawing wood and spray painting, and they're worthless even for that.
If you don't believe that Covid is real, you don't have to post that here. Maybe we can keep this out of The Attic.

Covid is like the flu; it's here to stay.
And those masks and shutdowns and lockdowns--they were a joke. But the vaccinations weren't.

I was lucky not to have gotten COVID during the initial outbreak. At the end of November, I got a monster case that went straight to my lungs. Yes I had had both shots plus a booster....but there I was going to the emergency room for help. Doctors were unsure whether I would make it. The IV dripped 24/7: antivirals, antibiotics, and who knows what else. I recovered and am fine now.
My point: Take this seriously. If you get sick, seek medical attention immediately.

Masks are not a joke....

I kinda agree although the masks, shutdowns and lockdowns were the best the medical community could offer while waiting for vaccines to be developed. I mean, what were they going to say in 2020? "Well, we have absolutely no strategy to protect your lives; a lot of you will simply die while we try to come up with a remedy." They had to offer us something and those strategies probably did save a limited number of people (like my friend who lived like a hermit for two years). Masks were never about protecting the wearer; they were to protect others from the wearer's cough, sneeze and spray.

Well, the good ones weren't, but those made of everyday cloth, the ones practically everyone wore, merely served as ugly decorations.

I always had to laugh at folks driving, alone in their vehicle, wearing a mask.

If a disease is contagious, the simplest precaution is obvious, yet resisted by many.

[/quote]The real N95 masks work pretty well. If we’re flying in a plane, we’re wearing them. Side benefit? We don’t smell neighboring passengers’ farts and dirty diapers!

That must a flight for senior citizens.

[/quote]This is wrong. Masks do provide a level of protection to the wearer - risk reduction!

It was never supposed to be released...and there is no containment since it runs through animals as well...no controlling that.

Think math: stay out of crowds, places with poor ventilation and crowds and, oh yes, crowds.
The more people there are, the greater the chances of being near someone infected.
