Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Odome..maybe 50/50 masked/unmasked people attending graduation

 

Lol, you guys are too much. I was one of those people out last night at the restaurant and I wasn't wearing a mask.

 

With the corollary, or perhaps those are corollaries to this main theme, how do you reason someone out of a position they weren't reasoned into?

 

Not until it's too late anyway.

 

“South Florida talk show host Dick Farrel, known for his over-the-top right-wing opinions, died from COVID-19.“

“Farrel advocated against getting the coronavirus vaccine and was skeptical of Dr. Anthony Fauci”

“He texted me and told me to 'Get it!' He told me this virus is no joke and he said, "I wish I had gotten it!"

Congratulations. You sound very wise.

 

Another good quote from the author Jonathan Swift.

I think cognitive dissonance is mostly at play here.

 

Extremely

 

US Coronavirus: Officials split on masking children in schools as pediatric hospitals fill up with Covid-19 patients - CNN

In Florida, which has the second-highest rate of new cases per capita after Louisiana, children's hospitals and staff are "overwhelmed," said Dr. Aileen Marty, an infectious disease expert at Florida International University.
"The numbers of cases in our hospitals in children and our children's hospitals are completely overwhelmed," Marty told CNN's Jim Sciutto on Friday evening.

 

You ever wonder how many people may have suffered or died from virus that you spread? Or would that bother you?

 

Speaking the truth.

 

Why do you think that's okay?

 

The irony is hilarious. You dismissing data that doesn’t fit your narrative. Too funny.

 

Illinois has gone back to a mask mandate. I'm running a laundry load of masks today so I'll have enough for the week when I go back to work. I go through two masks a day on my 10 hour shift. Still waiting on the results from my Covid test from last Tuesday. They won't let me back until I have a negative test result.

 

Don't worry - they're not vaccinated either.

 

It seems our capacity for testing and producing quick results is diminishing. Had a PCR test yesterday and will have to wait 3-4 days for the result (normally 24hr turnaround).

 

I wanted to get tested when I was in FL. Most everything was booked up days ahead.

 

The funny thing is I don’t have a narrative. I pointed out your false statement claiming long COVID in kids doesn’t exist yet your own studies you posted says they do exist. I posted 4 points of data showing long COVID in kids does exist that you refuse to acknowledge and you refuse to address any flaws in your first study by claiming the data is the data. You are the epitome of cognitive dissonance.

 

We can thank our great FDA for this. Cheap at home tests exist yet our government somehow doesn’t allow this.

 

Do you mean tests that are more affordable than the rapid antigen test? I picked that at up at Walgreens for $24. Did the FDA forgo a subsidy?
