Covid- 19 - Second wave

[TIC]

Did the first wave really ever stop. Local Parishes made masking up mandatory when social distancing is 'not possible'. Still very arbitrary. Some of these people coming inside a business with cams in tow in order to have their viral moment and scream about 'muh right to not wear a mask' can feck right off.

Have you seen this happen other than on the news? I’m witnessing everyone getting along fine in stores etc

I did see a woman on national TV touting "Burn Your Mask."

If you're really that against it just don't wear it. No need for burning shit.

I haven't weighed in on the thread about the CHOP zone but I think it's ridiculous. It IS possible to come down on one side regarding one particular issue and on the other side regarding another particular issue.

on tv

Which means what..... that it didn't actually happen? I mean.... where do you draw the line between admitting something might be real and choosing to believe we're living a real life version of The Matrix?

It's too easy to stroll around calling every single thing fake.

did i say it never happened? you must know by now that the tv fakes stories or tells them to fit their agenda. it's called programming for a reason. who said every single thing is fake?

Yes... TV media has their own agenda and EVERYBODY knows that. Precious few people hang on CNN's every word, especially clowns like Don Lemon or Rachel Maddow.

But when a woman is interviewed on TV and she's saying "Burn Your Masks"..... it's either real..... or CNN is paying an actor to say those things on TV.

With the uproar there has been regarding the use of masks in the States (as opposed to every other country where people for the most part cooperate without incident)..... it's not far fetched to believe that someone would want to "burn their masks."

It's cool to view TV with a good dose of skepticism. But it's also healthy to temper that skepticism based on the general existing atmosphere and the everyday conversations you have with people.

there are extreme views on any topic. the tv is going to show you the extreme that best suits their agenda. like walrus said most people just generally get on with life & you don't experience this on a usual day. & if anyone approached me talking about wearing a mask i'd kindly tell them to mind their fucking business

you'd politely be arrested when a law enforcement officer nails you for not wearing one.

haven't been yet. i have been doing everything possible to catch this bullshit disease. visited hospitals that are assigned to deal with it. visited testing stations. gone to the pub. gone to the beach. went to protests & still nothing. some pandemic

Hahaha! You make me laugh! I have images of this bloke desperately trying to catch this virus. Failing at every turn.

Nobody here seems to have had it.

i feel like jeff goldblum in jewrassic park saying we are supposed to see dinosaurs yeh. where's this invisible enemy? the amount of fluids i've shared with a few lucky ladies over the last few months something should have got me. maybe turning off the tv & living free is the cure. like a placebo type effect. mind over matter. or maybe it's all just bullshit

Well I think Fauci is pretty clear in what he's saying. The term "quarantine fatigue" is a good one and accurately describes what probably is driving a lot of people to go out and do things they weren't doing two months ago. If you combine that with the natural tendencies of some people to chafe under authority, or look at everything as "they're trying to deny me of my rights"...... then it's probably a perfect storm brewing and probably why other pandemics in the past have had second waves. Because people are people and every era has had those who buck authority or just get tired of being cooped up. We'll see how it all pans out, but it doesn't look good.

Many different variables but off the top I think it really does reveal just how selfish we are. Basically it was what, 2 months of some uncomfortable and yes costly limitations for many depending on location. It became 100 percent politicized. We're an impatient tunnel vision society demanding instant gratification. I cringe when I hear the simplicity of wearing a mask inside of a store equated to 'violating my rights'. Our 'rights' are trampled every day on a far graver scale. We've become truly out of touch.

do you believe masks work? it's the boiling frog analogy. a little bit at a time so you don't notice until it's to late

Bringing back the classics eh. At the very least they help minimize the risk of something we as a Country have completely botched the response to and were a reality in my profession long before Covid became a political football. Next person going to the Dentist be sure to tell the staff to go bareback while they breathe down your gullet for hours of work. I don't really like wearing pants when I shop but dems da rules.

Selfishness has exacerbated the situation. We could have had this under control by now. But people had to party hearty
