Healthy people wearing masks and social distancing haven't done jack shit to save the vulnerable populations.

All we have done is forced sick people to die alone. Robbed children of birthday parties and education. And alienated everyone from ourselves. The politicians who put these orders in place should get their asses kicked to the curb. They have mishandled the whole thing since the word go.

Like oh, let's make half the country "essential". Because that's probably going to work. Let's have half of us self quarantine, while the other half puts up cell phone towers, and busts kids for smoking pot. Genius!

I like the mask mandate. People are fucking stupid and don't cover their mouths when coughing and sneezing. It's not even a Covid concern, it's just disgusting that they're coughing and sneezing all over the place.

Just wanted to make sure everyone caught this moment I have no idea what to make of it:
Has that video been verified? Without a face in the shot it's hard to verify, cause that's the nail in the coffin for this whole mess.
Thanks Fox News reporter :D

I am not sure what’s up with the numbers today and yesterday but they are significantly lower then what the mayor of ny announced in his press conference... and he only gives confirmed. I’ve never noticed this problem before. It’s always either exactly what he says or ends up higher by the end of the day due to presumed..

It's because they were conflating West Coast numbers with East Coast numbers, and they are not even roughly the same so Imma gone try to make an infographic that seeks to clarify the differing severity of disease on each coast (due to two strains circulating):

WEST COAST CORONA/EAST COAST CORONA

What is everyone's thoughts on the new virus infecting children? They do not know what it is quite yet but are relating it to Kawasaki Disease and of course saying it's because of Corona. It's possible it is a new mutation, but it seems like a scare tactic to me because Covid 19 has been around since November and primarily affected the elderly, they are just now reporting this?

My thought: People are becoming less scared to go out, so to really scare them into isolation we'll use their children's health as a tactic. We want the best for our children and typically would do anything to keep them safe, so it is a good psychological tactic to fear monger people into submission.

You can’t keep people locked down and threaten their livelihoods..without some sort of backlash...can you?

Riot police clash with hundreds of protesters in Berlin chanting 'freedom' in demonstration against coronavirus restrictions as Germany death toll rises by 147 to 7,369

Meanwhile...
Company Layoffs Mount as Recovery Appears Elusive
General Electric, Airbnb, Uber among employers planning job cuts


And not every business can come back at the same time..
Pubs fear disaster after being left out of plans to ease lockdown


The Indians drank the koolaid...
South Dakota Sioux Tribe stands its ground: Native Americans REFUSE to take down coronavirus checkpoints after Gov. Kristi Noem threatened legal action if the barricades weren't removed within 48 hours


Smokers are protected? That would be a first...usually smoking kills...
MORE evidence emerges that smokers are protected from coronavirus: Italian study finds them FIVE TIMES less likely to end up in hospital (but almost twice as likely to die if they do)

Forgot about this one...now you can get it through the eyes...wonder if the smoke from smoking stops that?

Coronavirus CAN enter the body through the eyes: Scientists find eye cells are a prime target for the deadly virus to attach to

I can only guess at to what this means but maybe all poison in cigarettes prevents the virus from taking hold.
Sure...only smoking makes you vulnerable to other things like cancer...but not to covid...sure.

Stranger things have happened, and there isn’t enough data to make a determination either way, or to say that smoking is the reason for what seems like lower hospitalization rates. Again it does seem that if there is a severe infection that smoking makes it worse.

I don’t know what’s so unbelievable about it, I mean you believe Noah’s Ark was a literal event.
Maybe more black people should smoke then? That might be able to limit their getting it. I just don’t believe that a virus would skip the smoking person...just like I don’t believe that its more likely to get the black man.

I knew a lady that went as a missionary to Africa where the Africans tell stories about the flood.

This is of personal interest to me. Now it does seem to indicate you have less chance of hospitalization if you smoke, but that if you are hospitalized with it, smoking makes it worse.

Keep smoking but refuse to go to hospital.
Best of all possible worlds.
