    I figured those who wore them alone in a car probably just didn’t want to take it off between destinations or maybe even forgot they had it on. Also, constantly handling the mask could in theory increase your exposure.

    It does seem odd to me that I see many young people still wearing masks who are seemingly at little risk, and I’ll see college students wearing them walking down the street. Seems kind of dumb, but it isn’t hurting anybody so no need for anybody to get upset about it.

    As to beaches, early on I don’t really think we had great information as to what the dangers were, and public health officials took the better safe than sorry approach. They did make a major blunder when they seemed to imply that George Floyd protests were an acceptable exception.

    Recently a couple of family members went to a UF baseball game and caught Covid. So it can happen in crowded outdoor settings. I suppose we can’t know for sure that’s where they got it but I don’t think they went anywhere else.

    Remember all the thousands of Spring Breakers who died on the beaches ? It was like Normandy.

    According to medical experts this prevented Covid. Note: no, the ridicule will never stop …

    I don't care about any of that, although my 2nd Phizer caused me to become quite ill and then I ended up getting Covid 4 months later after being told it had near 100% efficacy. So, that was pretty rough, but I didn't mind the masks and the shots. I mind the being lied to about the masks and the shots keeping me safe, when they clearly didn't. But hey, the Covid pandemic sent Pfizer's 2022 revenue to a record $100 billion. I know you're happy about that.

    when did you get Covid? How bad was it?

    Who told you it would be 100% effective against infection in 4 months?

    biden said it. The narrative has been controlled by idiots like him. It was implied by public health until they could no longer lie about it.

    So, not one claim in that work of fiction has ever been proven to be true. Same made up garbage going around and around because arrogant/ignorant people refuse to believe "Mother Nature" could bring humanity to its knees, or worse, should she ever choose to.

    You are one of the few who actually sees the facts and makes decisions based off of those facts. So many on here still don't. Hell, look at the WH requiring people to wear masks in 2023 even though we know masks don't work. Hell, the NYT's admitted it this week LOL. And I won't even discuss the 6 feet of social distancing BS. But the lemmings on here still believe that crap.

    White House sends guidance mandating face masks, social distancing for unvaccinated at 'College Athlete Day'

    "Masking Guidance: Fully vaccinated guests are not required to wear a mask on the White House grounds," the email states [bold font in original email]. "Guests who are not fully vaccinated must wear a mask at all times and maintain at least 6 feet distance from others while on the White House grounds."

    It’s not accurate to say that masks didn’t work against a virus. There was no virus. Technically, masks didn’t work against a test. Nothing worked against a test. Not masks. Not lockdowns. Not vaccines.

    This applies to so many on here. Just admit you were wrong and move on. It's hilarious to watch posters try to make up crap to explain away the awful policies from 2020-2022.

    Covidians will simply default to “1.2 million died. How were we wrong ?”

    nc is a great poster. But nc defines how powerful the propaganda has been. I am actually surprised nc has not admitted just being wrong.
