I fully admit I was wrong on this for months. Its been much worse than I expected.
I also still stick to the idea that the high risk need to be isolated for the most part and people in general should be able to live their lives with some precautions. People know the risks Lew there are no secrets at this point.
I am not anti mask, I actually have to spend my time at work enforcing masks and social distancing. I deal with this shit probably as much or more than you do on a daily basis. It seems you haven't been actually paying attention to my posts the last few months.
I do think masks and social distancing combined is stupid. I also think this is mainly an issue with older people and people with compromised immune systems. We both know this.
I also know for a fact the idea that the belief in virus mitigation is based on political party lines is hilariously wrong. I know the because I deal with people all the time not following protocols that I know for a fact dont give 2 ****s about the election or politics. Its way more cultural than political.
But hey go ahead and act like you got it all figured out and know all there is know on this topic and half the people here say lets do "nothing". People like you are the ones drawing political lines in this and ignoring the actual data and realities.
Oh yea and also ignore the fact the story from the CDC and everyone else changes every other day as well but in the end the results are really the same.

I am sorry a front line worker is questioning your vast knowledge at the factory level! **** me man! You're a ****ing moron if you think this is only affecting old people with shitty health. You should ask those losing loved ones in this thread about that. If you want to go by mortality rate alone, that's another misguided step. I've known dozens of front line workers, in good health, who required hospital stays, including my coworker almost losing his life to this as I documented in this thread. This has been very personal for many. Masks aren't perfect when you are around this virus all day, but should BE COMBINED with social distancing when it allows for best protection. Were you really trying to make a point about wearing a mask when you aren't around anyone (I mean yeah, it's not needed)?
I haven't made a single ****ing political post in this thread. I think we can fully see now that full lockdowns probably aren't the answer as when they end, the virus ramps up it's spread. Instead, making a national mask mandate and recommending social distancing, with all business open would have probably been the best plan from the start. But many places were too slow to act and had to go into full lockdowns in surge states. The CDC hasn't helped one bit and neither have the politicians on both side of this virus.
But you can't tell me that a large portion of this country wants even basic precautions like mask wearing to end. If you can't even wear a mask and understand it's basic use in public, then we can all assume you think we should be doing nothing about this virus. That may not be you, but it sure seems like many in the USA and on this board fit that description.
