Actually - they only introduced mandatory masks a week ago. Before that, lockdown was lifting anyways and people - like me - were going about their business as usual. For some of us fortunate ones, we never took a single dime from the government and some of us kept going about business as usual for the entire lockdown. You think I cared about Covid-19 standing in a backyard building a fence or building a wall? Nope. I'm more likely to smash my finger with the hammer.
We ALL know 1) they were unprepared and started producing masks/ventilators/sanitizer en masse 2) around April 6th is when Fauci+ suddenly decided to start wearing masks, before that it was discouraged, emphasis on not needing one. 3) Antibody tests were de-prioritized 4) deaths were inflated due to mismanagement/deliberately 5) places like Japan had low death rates because Covid isn't the end of the world 6) Hydroxychloroquine + Azythromycin + Zinc is effective as both a cure and profilactic but we're not allowed talking about that 7) Bill Gates wants to poke you with a needle and the same people who insist I wear a mask are eager to take that vaccine 8) Covid doesn't affect Target/Walmart/Grocery stores, but it does affect my fencing business. gotcha
I've been saying since April. 'We go back to normal, when people go back to normal'. I'm a good example. I walk my dog, happy as can be. It's SAD to see so many people terrified by germs. You're all mentally ill. Life is dangerous.. wearing a mask to keep from Covid is the least of your worries - most of you can't make a fire on your own or lift a 50lb bag.
Why do you keep saying I'm afraid covid? I'm not in the at-risk cohort. I don't wear a mask at home or in the car or when I'm camping. I wear it in enclosed indoor places where aggregated risk of transmission is highest.
Fencing seems like a good business and shouldn't have been affected by lockdowns. At least it wouldn't have been where I am. Right now it's mainly restaurants/bars/clubs. Rioting is still okay though, for some reason.
Regarding your enumerated points:
agree.
agree. Fauci et al. made a huge mistake telling people they didn't need masks to cover up for the fact that they weren't prepared for this and needed to save all the masks for hospital workers (see point 1)
agree. We should have widespread antibody testing so we can see how long immunity lasts and how prevalent it is. It should be conducted at the same time as tests for active infections.
could be true, data is noisy.
Japan's case is interesting-- constitutionally prohibited from locking down, but widespread mask use. Low deaths despite old population. Would be nice to know the drivers behind their apparent success.
HCQ as a zinc ionophore has always seemed like a good hypothesis to me. Shame on the ignorant media for politicizing it.
I generally trust vaccines but will hesitate to take one that's been rushed through development and clinical trials. I am ambivalent on Bill Gates.
Covid does affect Target/Walmart/Grocery stores, that's where you need to wear the mask! And again, it's to protect the workers and other shoppers there, not necessarily for you. It's like a physical herd immunity.
Re: building a fire or lifting a 50lb bag-- that's a weird presumptive generalization. Non-sequitur by DYEL? In any event I've been camping and lifting and working on my house during this time but that's totally irrelevant to issue of masks.
Thanks for your reply. I don't think the last point is totally irrelevant.
Best way to survive Covid 2.0 is to survive Covid 1.0. I don't stress over a cut in the woods. If it gets infected, my body will fight it. Same goes for most things. It would be a good thing if people slowly got exposed to Covid 1.0, the peak is over, the precautions were/are in effect.. there's no reason healthy younger people can't expose each other sans-mask and be done with it.. next winter will be worse (scientifically-presumptively) if the virus comes back mutated and resistant to double the Ventilators again :)

I'd rather those who are actually at risk, and those who are afraid and want to wear one do - and it's not mandated that healthy men with beards pretend a mask is keeping anything out.
