Anybody want a Corona?

[verb_to_trust]

Masks don't work

Masks work, but the problem is that in the most high risk situations, they're either not practical (indoor restaurants, bars, theaters, and other events where eating & drinking is required to be sustainable) or enforceable (private indoor gatherings). So instead the beatings for vaccinated people are continuing until morale improves among the unvaccinated in venues with low to moderate risk. At least we've finally (I think) learned enough about the bigtime importance of ventilation to stop harassing people with NPIs outdoors.

Ive actually been sucking my thumb and carrying a stuffed animal around everywhere I go lately. It seems to have kept me covid free!

The ideology is what matters, not the lives.

It's not worth putting this much thought into a Verb post, he doesn't.

So I see from the response he gave me. That post doesn't have to be just for him, though.

[verb_to_trust]

How is saying "masks work, except during basically any relevant situation in your day to day life" any different than me saying "masks don't work"? I see the same amount of effort in our statements. You're SO CLOSE.

Go buy a teddy bear you absolute suckers.

What does that have to do with masks? Hint: rhymes with smushfing

Protection from vaccines wearing off + vacation spot = big trouble, masks or not.



I bet boosters will be authorized by the end of next week.

I'm drawing a blank here, help me out

[verb_to_trust]

I'm good on the booster

Yeesh, as usual when I post here I'm trying to find some common ground, and you're coming guns blazing at me. Obviously I was gone for a while, but I don't recall you being this trigger happy before.

[Green Habit]

Do we have good numbers on this yet? Something like going down from 90% to 80% doesn't alarm me too much. And I'd only be alarmed at severe symptomatic covid at that.

That being said, I would happily take a boosters if available. Jab me up, docs.

That ain't it. You might get there on "mask mandates don't work" or "masks are the most overemphasized NPI", but not that glib.

What are the numbers on reduced transmission with masks?

Mask mandates were what, 2% reduction in transmission when (imperfectly) compared to equivalent regions without mask mandates?

But the new variant is googolplex more transmissive, right? So the masks will work this time.

I remember Verb2trust ranting against family members who went full on MAGA, and it’s strange to see him become THE MAGA man of this thread.

[Rob]

I’ve seen the MAGA bring some good people down, including my own dad. Sad!

[verb_to_trust]

I thought this was the coronavirus thread? Why are you talking about Trump?

Not about Trump. It’s about MAGA - an attitude. You got a bad case, bro.
