Can we blow this narrative to pieces already?

Fatality rate is really low, close to 0.1%, continuing to decline.

Yes, lots more cases. But how many of those cases are severe? If a huge amount of them are asymptomatic, is that not good news?

Masks are not proven to stop the virus. It literally says so on the box. Stop trying to make masks a thing, they will never be cool, they will never be hip, they’ll never be anything more than a face diaper that signals your obedience.

Trump says we’re not going back on lockdown... but many states and cities already are. If he doesn’t meaningfully address it... then it’s just words. Fuck this China Virus, fuck your lockdowns, fuck your masks, fuck virtual events, and fuck staying 6 feet apart.

THERE WILL NEVER BE A NEW NORMAL

Masks are not proven to stop the virus.

It is certainly not proven but research is promising: https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2020.00818

Best case, the experts are wrong and you wore a mask for nothing.

Worst case, the experts are right and you helped slow the spread.

Masks don't have to be political.

What’s the point of slowing the spread again?

Really.

Would you rather wear a mask or potentially kill someone (maybe even yourself)? Because that's what it really comes down to.

This disease is killing a lot of people and is very contagious. You might think it's 'just another disease' and not find the fatality rate concerning, but if too many people get infected at once, the healthcare system will be overwhelmed and fatalities will skyrocket.
