This is the real reason for social distancing

One of many real reasons!!

"STOP THE SPREAD" of information outside of our control.

Yep. Remember everyone asking where they came up with 6 feet? Many surmised it had something to do with drones. But this makes way more sense. You want to bet six feet has been studied as a distance where eyes struggle to focus in.

@LINWOOD why not have the recounts done on teacher projection machines that are recorded and many can view them.???

"Hey, Fauci, how about now? Can you still read the ballot?"

"No, I can't make anything out from here."

"How far is that?"

"The tape measure says 6 feet."

"6 feet it is then! You know what to do."

This election and the Deep State plan to have another coup attempt against our president is the real reason for treating this latest pandemic completely differently from any in the past.

The Social D'ing rule is ridiculous but rational thought is hard to come by. Therefore, our folks should show up in full hazmat suits with self contained air supply and start walking into the table areas!!

Seriously. We're literally being stopped by government tape? We are well into Battle of Athens territory.

I would have binoculars on me. If it's really about Covid and not the ability to see what they're doing, who would protest?

Fuck the six feet bullshit. Voting is what we do instead of war. Even if Covid really were a dangerous virus, suck it up and take the risk. Be happy you have the privilege of free elections.

How about fuck 6 feet? Democrats weren't worried about maintaining 6 feet when they were packed in the streets like sardines all summer.

Why is it they act like 6 feet is such a big deal yet many of us have been declared essential workers in environments that it is impossible to social distance in. What is more essential than an election?

If masks work, why are thay so concerned? Rhetorical question.

3
phil_d_snutz 3 points ago +3 / -0

Masks only work (don't work) when infection and death counts are falling (rising).

couranto 6 points ago +6 / -0

So the observers can stand next to one another and the tabulators can sit next to one another. But the observers have to stay 6 feet away from the tabulators? We are being so conned.

Uh, give everyone COVID-sufficient respirators (P/N100 ideally or P/N95 minimum) and if possible, goggles. Problem solved, yes?

0
Mainwar 0 points ago +2 / -2

no, neither one of them will block the virus.

1
Phil_DeGraves 1 point ago +1 / -0

The 100-class (P100, N100, etc.) will absolutely block it. It's the NB part of NBC military filter cans. B=Biological. It's HEPA on your face. Blocks effectively all droplets (99.97% at 0.3 microns).

Mainwar 3 points ago +3 / -0

UNLESS you are going to run a full decon after everything you touch and touching hundreds of ballots and a public arena where there are hundreds of people.... NO, they are not going to stop you encountering a virus of any kind.

With that said... why wear the things or force the separation.

Also 6 year military Vet, NBC certified trainer, I prefer the MCU/2P mask. Still have one and spare cans...

2
Phil_DeGraves 2 points ago +2 / -0

Nobody says you can't do a pretty good decon after leaving the site.

However, two things:

  1. infection happening at all, and severity level of the resulting symptoms if infection does occur, appear to be very heavily exposure-amount-dependent.

  2. inhalation is apparently the primary infection route/threat, and surface-based transmission is now seen as a much lesser threat.

Given #1 and #2, a good x100 respirator and ideally goggles worn full-time while on-site, all by themselves with no decon afterward (aside from removing/discarding gloves and using hand sanitizer and such), may completely prevent (or greatly lessen the severity of) infection, as I said originally.

I like how you guys are talking about this rationally while the people screaming for the 6 foot rule care absolutely nothing about being rational.

This is just the latest example of a timeless, endlessly-repeating pattern in human history:

High-quality repeated experimental evidence indicates X, but authority figures insist Y.

Of course, X ALWAYS wins over Y in the end.

However until X's eventual triumph, which can take many years, typically the vast majority of people will believe Y, and even most "experts" will insist that Y is correct, even when X clearly indicates that Y is wrong. Usually the advocates of the correct answer X are ignored, ridiculed, threatened, put under lifetime house arrest (ask Galileo about that), etc.

Examples:

X = Heliocentrism, Y = Geocentrism

X = Curved spacetime and relativistic effects, Y = Classical physics

X = Quantum mechanics, Y = Classical physics

X = Plate tectonics ("continential drift"), Y = Fixed continents

X = H. Pylori causes ulcers, Y = Stress and spicy food cause ulcers

The last two were quite recent (early-to-mid 20th century and the 1980s-1990s, respectively).

In this current case, it's:

X = What actual high-quality data indicates about COVID-19 (e.g. microdroplets with "hang time" measured in many minutes to a few hours spread over large distances by HVAC systems, almost all transmission indoors with almost none outdoors, cloth/surgical masks are very very close to useless as protection to the wearer, etc.)

Y = The largely-invalid crap "experts" say about it (6 feet apart is enough, wear masks outdoors while alone, cloth/surgical masks protect the wearer significantly, various other ridiculous disproven crap).

There are other fascinating X/Y pairs right now too, where almost everyone currently insists Y but are all clearly wrong and will eventually have to admit that X is correct, but that's beyond the scope of this already-too-long post!

Lol. Not too long, fren. Btw, heliocentrism took about 100 years to finally be accepted!

How can we allow this to stand. The media will not allow the truth to get out, so we need to be on Parler and Twitter forwarding this to as many as possible.

We now need an audit to follow the money from Dominion to whomever benefited from the contract with Georgia election officials. Looking at you, Brian Kemp and Sec of State Brad.
