Are we destined to wear a mask forever? CDC says masks maybe better than a vaccine??

[Saltwater60]

Well of course this is not what we all wanted to hear so thoughts? Is this just a game? I heard places in the Southern Hemisphere that had winter had like no flu season. Does that mean masks really work or are we just more conscientious about hand washing, staying home, coughing into our sleeves, and more working from home? Also no large gatherings might have a lot to do with it. These people need to use common sense and say we don’t know if they don’t know. I’m totally done with this.
CDC director statement

CDC director says face masks may offer more protection against COVID than a vaccine. Here's what other experts say.

Health experts point out that we don't yet know how effective a vaccine will be – but we do know masks help stop the spread.

Mild flu season. It sure is interesting but not surprising at all.

From Southern Hemisphere, Hints That U.S. May Be Spared Flu On Top Of COVID-19

So far this year, flu infections are way down in the Southern Hemisphere. Scientists want to know why — and what it means for the Northern Hemisphere as their flu season looms.

My thoughts?







SCAMDEMIC.



Look around you at society even before this situation. Average senior on 7 prescription meds. 42% of the population obese. More disease now than ever. If you take advice on health from the profession that has resulted in all of this and is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US you get what you deserve and give up the right to complain.

 

[Celt]

Ive been saying this for a while now. My concern is they are going to mandate it every flu season now. SCREWBTHAT, i hate wearing these things, but i despise the Karens and other self proclaimed "mask police" even more.

 

[alistair]

Such a dumb statement ...... so why are we spending Billions on dollars on a vaccine, we should just $2 on better masks?

 

[Mr. terzmo]

Walk around the ladder rather than under...don't let a black cat cross your path...My 2 cents is this virus is easier to contract than flu and is more deadlier than flu for people with pre existing conditions.(and a person knows if the other is sick while COVID can be had with no symptons) Sure a lot die from flu...I've had the flu shot every year for 35 years and I still get a bad cold/minor flu once in a while..maybe 5 times over 35 years. I would hope the COVID-19 vaccine would work better than the percentage they accept.

Last years flu shot was 30% effective they say. I never get the flu shot and I’ve had the swine flu once and regular flu never. It’s all about your body and immunity.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Give that man a prize.

 

[Marine Cpl]

It’s all about your body and immunity.

And the viral load your body ingests. Your body has an easier time fighting off a low viral load that is replicating compared to a high viral load that’s replicating.

 

[SomeSoldier]

And the same guy said that people who are healthy don't need them and also said masks are to help everyone around the person wearing it.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Correct. Masks and distance decrease viral loads. That’s why the severity and spread of the virus is totally different now than it was in the beginning. Now I’m not saying that one should wear them in their car, while they sleep next to their wives, or when talking to Harold the neighbor who you know is not sick in case others want to jump off the deep end with that ridiculousness just to bolster an argument.

Just stating a fact. Masks capture some infected droplets that would otherwise be expelled into the air decreasing the viral load to be inhaled. Nothing more and nothing less.

Well, if everyone with flu like symptoms is diagnosed with covid instead without any testing, you're going to have a very mild flu season.

I can eliminate cancer deaths the same way. Just change all the death certificates to "heart failure".

If anyone says anything, just say "well, it's not beating, is it ?"

But these people are killing themselves because they are not taking advice of health professionals. Any doctor will tell 2/3rd of the population, which is overweight, to take care of itself. But they ignore it and buy ice cream. And don't exercise. Our terrible diets are the most destructive thing in modern life about our health and why so many have diabetes etc.

As for original question yes we won't be without masks for a long time.

 

[Chevusa]

CDC also announced that 6 feet is no longer good enough. They are increasing the guidelines, especially for restaurants. Heard it on Fox this AM.

"Take care of yourself." Yeah, that's helpful. Go to your doctors house and look in his medicine cabinet (isn't it crazy that's what it is referred to?). Tell me how most of them can give anybody advice on health lol.

 

[Chevusa]

The masks will stick around for a long long time, perhaps forever.

The sheepish bitches who cling to every word their democratic leaders say will not ever take them off. Despite the facts, they will do what they are told. Even when this scamdemic is over, they will be told you don't really have to wear them, but you should to be extra extra safe anyway, and they will.

The only hope is for enough Patriots to say ENOUGH! and go about our business as usual. If 50 people walk into the store without one, who is going to police it? This is our path forward. Join me.

Polio would like a word with you. Debate to be moderated by Jonas Salk.

Flatten the curve... 2 weeks...

If anyone should know what "slippery slope" means.
It should be gun owners.

If anyone should recognize a "slippery slope" when they see one.
It should be gun owners.

I pointed out that this is a slippery slope right from the beginning.
And here we are.

That's the problem right there! Put bobbleheads in the position of power and their bosses tell them what to say/do. No matter how stupid and idiotic it is they won't challenge it.

Then they'll come here and post to exhaustion trying to get others to follow along too. They know they've been taken for a ride so they try to get others on board too. That way they aren't the only idiot. They want company to make themselves feel better about it. SAD!

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

I'm reaching my limits with this mask horseshit.....all the while watching the brainwashed morons riding around in their cars with full masking and the windows rolled up. I've never gotten a flu shot and can't remember the last time I had the flu.....of any variant. This whole situation has been twisted and turned and the goalposts continue to change without knowledge, warning, or reason. "Just flatten the curve." Yeah, horseshit.

A perspective from Genesee County.

According to my on-line local news. (thebatavian.com)
There have been 2 positive COVID-19 cases in the past 12 days.
Both on the same day. Both under 20 years old.

That's 2 cases in almost 2 weeks. Out of a population of 57,000 people.
If that does not put things into perspective I do not know what will.

I say that this Chinese Flu over reaction falls directly in the category of... "Never let a crises go to waste"


Wearing masks with no end in sight. Forced to wear a mask for forever... The new normal.
I do not have a crystal ball... I didn't need one to see this coming.
This is what complying with bullshit will get people.
I'm a gun owner in NY State... This isn't my first rodeo.

You know who likes the mask thing? A few on here and the companies that make the masks.

Towards the end, women will be the first group of people to resent the mask thing. No more hotties, no more makeup, no more lipstick, no more proper primping. No more getting hit on, men will demand that women remove their masks before consummating a blind date. Of course, women were the first to pioneer the see through mask. I mean, will a man and a woman need to prove they are covid free before removing their masks for their first kiss? Masks will bring the dating game to a whole new level. What if their nose is full of unsightly pimples?

Absolutely Correct, but why have I never had the flu in my life. I’m sure I’ve had the same viral load as others that have gotten the flu. All I ever get is a small head cold that turns into a cough. I’m sure I have a good immune system compared to others. I’ve missed one day in 3 years of work at my new job and before that I was in R&D at my last job for 5-6 years and I think I only called in sick once if that. So 1-2 sick days for me in 8-9 years and other get sick that many in one year.

Your immune system is strong. But even with a strong immune system, it can get overwhelmed to where you get sick if you are getting exposed for a longer period of time.

For the regular flu way before all this COVID BS, I have been around people with the flu at work and have never gotten sick. However, if my wife got the flu and I remained constantly around her, I would eventually get sick. My sickness would only last a day or two while hers lasted more than a week.

2 Daughters in the Health profession both caught the virus. Gave it to their husbands. Some of the grandkids also caught it. All said they have been more sick with the flu. Because they are in the profession they must now be tested regularly. To show how stupid all of this is, sometimes they test positive and sometimes negative. There has never in the course of mankind been a vaccine for any COVID Virus AKA the common cold. Probably will never be either. China did this and then some of our leaders saw how China with its totalitarian was able to track and trace and thought WOW if only we could do that. Which they no do with that thing you carry with you everywhere. Remember Hillary always bring up a pandemic when she was running. Bird Flu or whatever they had a plan then but didn't use it. I am skeptical I don't trust any politician when they mention "Your Safety". It is a code word for bend over grab your ankles and spread your cheeks I'm comin in. Now we have Karens everywhere male-female and everything else. We will be wearing masks from now on.
