So the actual SCIENCE is that COVID hangs around in enclosed spaces - especially sucked in by circulation systems and then reblown back out.

The irony is that that infers that it's aerosolized - generally flu viruses are heavy and don't go any further than a sneeze range - aerosolized means it'll float around ready to be breathed in.

But the CDC and WHO won't CONFIRM that (although I've seen studies that say it is).

Being in a building (with all the environmental green laws now) means that the air stays in the house/restaurant/bar and increases the likelihood of getting it.

In a tent, even with it being enclosed, you're getting enough breeze and fresh air in that the virus will be either diluted or blown out entirely.

The actual SCIENCE shows covid19 is just another run of the mill covid virus, and less deadly than a whole handful of other strains that we've been living with for decades.

That is correct.

For current Sars 2 to be still around it had to have an advantageous mutation which means it has to become less deadlier over time to spread more readily.

Like all other viruses herd immunity is the best way to stop the spread of the novel corona virus.

Bingo. That's what eventually happens with all virus strains: they mutate into less of a threat than they were initially, and circulate annually as one of the many flus we see.

If the population hadn't been masked and put under house arrest, this virus would have already run its course, or would've been nearly there.

This was all about the election, with an experiment in controlling the population (surprisingly easy) an added bonus.

I’ve seen a whole lot of “science” showing that it acts just like the influenza you described. Hence why masks are supposed to be the ultimate end all of covid according to blue politicians. Maybe you’re a blue shill.

Me too - that it should spread no more than 6 feet (social distancing y'all!)

I've also seen studies that suggest 12 feet (it's lighter) and the aerosolized ones.

But back to the regular influenza social distancing range - if that were true... then there's no need to restrict inside vs outside dining as social distancing is enough for restaurants. And yet, what are the guidelines? Why won't they just say "it's aerosolized". No, they order the shutdown but don't provide the evidence and that's been the whole damn problem with this pandemic from day 1. Do as we tell you. Why? Because we say so.
That's NOT America let alone the American way - that's outright communist rule.

the three ways diseases spread is Contact, Droplet and Airborne. influenza is considered droplet but has components of airborne covid-1 is droplet with components of airborne covid-2 was first said to be droplet, then airborne now back to droplet with components of airborne.
the difference between droplet and airborne is the particle size.

To be frank, social distancing can fuck off right along with everything else. I’m so sick of hearing “OmG MuH SoCiAl dIsTaNcInG!”.

Everything about covid (aside from it being a virus) is a fucking sham. Everything.

The science is, if a business wants to buy a HEPA air filter to kill COVID every 10-30 minutes, all they have to do is spend 200-600 ish

Right - which is odd because that should be relatively easy for the city governments to verify. (Works for planes, right?)

And yet...

Yes, between dust, and particulate matter you are safer outside than inside. That probably explains why there was a surge of cases in Florida during the summer. HVAC systems and ducts are notorious breeding grounds for pathogens and if you don't change you filter often enough it can be a problem.

Covid is a virus. It requires a host to reproduce.

Yup you are right.
