So what are you looking for? You think there is someone out there that knows everything there is to know about COVID to let you know masks don't work and you won't get sick? Information changes as science gets more data. Constantly being mad at the people appointed to tell the public information about a pandemic, and try to keep them calm while doing so seems... Displaced? What's going on buddy, what are you really angry about? Who hurt you?

And also with you Verb (it always is)

This can use more context.
When polls showed a great number of Americans wouldn't take the vaccine, Fauci was encouraging reaching the lower limit for what's needed for herd immunity.
Now that more Americans say they are willing to get vaccinated, he's encouraging reaching the upper limit for what may be required.

NY Times: How Much Herd Immunity Is Enough?
“When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent,” Dr. Fauci said. “Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80, 85.”

“We need to have some humility here,” he added. “We really don’t know what the real number is. I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But, I’m not going to say 90 percent.”

Doing so might be discouraging to Americans, he said, because he is not sure there will be enough voluntary acceptance of vaccines to reach that goal. Although sentiments about vaccines in polls have bounced up and down this year, several current ones suggest that about 20 percent of Americans say they are unwilling to accept any vaccine.

Also, Dr. Fauci noted, a herd-immunity figure at 90 percent or above is in the range of the infectiousness of measles.
“I’d bet my house that Covid isn’t as contagious as measles,” he said.
Is he being manipulative? Is that part of his job? I don't know.
Reminded me of this article

STAT: Beware the danger of ‘vaccine euphoria’
Hallman, who chairs the Department of Human Ecology at Rutgers, said that one of his frustrations, as a psychologist, is that the national messaging about the pandemic has been led most vocally (and perhaps understandably) by physicians and epidemiologists “and their focus is on the germ and what to do about it.” By contrast, he said, there have been “very few social scientists, behavioral scientists in helping the government determine how to change people’s behaviors.”

If lying to manipulate the public is central to public health, why would we be suprised about the existence of anti-Vaxxers? Are these lies specific to certain domains?

You must consult the Book of Fauci, First Cuomo, Chapter three, Verse one.

They also gave cover to the Chinese clawing back all the PPE at the end of 2019/ early 2020. If the WHO says its not contagious, why object to China picking up all these N-95s and other masks and PPE.

Our Prophet Fauci has spoken of the holy mask and it's divinity!! Those who choose to ignore these teachings will be damned to the eternal ventilator!!

Coronavirus has broken his brain. He'll probably still be complaining about Fauci on his death bed.

At least simple schoolboy has something to say beyond just endless negative snark.

The snark is plenty justified.

Los Angeles county recently lost a court case where they admitted they had no reason to believe outdoor dining is riskier than other allowed activities, but that their reasoning for the ban was to discourage people from leaving their homes. If you're already going shopping for essentials and add 15 minutes to get a burrito or whatever, how do we quantify the additional risk? And this in a climate where you don't need to have heat lamps and tents for most of winter.

Some authorities seem to have taken too much of a liking to their newfound public health powers. We need to wear masks for the next two years even though the high risk groups should be vaccinated by summer?

I’d rather your favorite burrito place die than thousands of more Americans.

Too many people doing things they can easily avoid, and too many of them not following mitigation practices when doing so... so on and on the spread goes.

Short sighted, selfish morons unwilling to accept anything except their old normal. Your favorite burrito place will probably go out of business in a few months because of it anyway.

I ordered online once and they were running an hour behind. There were 30 people waiting inside for their meals. Thats okay but outdoor dining is not?

Its not about me, its about the arbitrary selection of which businesses will be destroyed by the state and which will not be.

The risk of any particular activity is less important for these orders than the optics. The powers that be must be shown as doing something, whether or not its a significant factor in transmission.

I need to come clean.

Lately, I've been looking at women in mesh masks the internet. At first it was just a curiosity thing. I just wanted to see some lips again (not whole lips, just softcore stuff, definitely not anything like full dental). I know, it's still gross.

My wife and I did the see through masks thing for a while when we were alone in our house, but one day she decided she was no longer comfortable doing that and we needed to commit our lives fully to the Church of Covid. I thought I was okay with it at first but then I started having these dreams about lady lips.

Long story short, one day, my wife caught me looking at pictures of women in mesh masks from her air sealed side of the plexiglass that divides our living room. She was furious and asked me if that was why my eyes always seemed distracted in our Zoom meetings and threatened to leave me. She said if the daily case count ever dropped below ten she would be out of her side of the house and go quarantine in her own separate building.

Hopefully by coming clean I can get better, and make the best of my miserable existence. Maybe my wife will one day join me again from her side of the plexiglass? She hasn't Zoomed me since a week before Faucimas.

Any advice on how I can save my marriage?
