Lol. Many of us “liberals” out East having been doing the same since like last summer. Verb is fighting an invisible army.

We usually spend a little time reminiscing about the my parents' friends that died last year from COVID.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Mask-wearing could become seasonal after COVID pandemic, Fauci says.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, said mask-wearing could be a seasonal habit to combat common illnesses, even after the coronavirus pandemic.

Fauci, the White House’s chief medical advisor, said during a Sunday interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” it was “quite possible” that people will decide to wear masks seasonally to prevent catching colds or the flu.

“We’ve had practically a non-existent flu season this year merely because people were doing the kinds of public health things that were directed predominately against COVID-19,” he said. “So it is conceivable that as we go on a year or two or more from now that during certain seasonal periods when you have respiratory borne viruses like the flu, people might actually elect to wear masks to diminish the likelihood that you’ll spread these respiratory borne diseases.”

....

This seems reasonable to me. If you're sick with a seasonal respiratory virus, wear the mask.

this is the dumbest argument. of course people die. one of lifes goals is to prolong that life though. i know personally 3 people who have passed away due to covid and its side effects in the last three months. in 51 years and 2 months before that i dont believe i know of 1 person who has died of the flu

But were you floored when old people died? Old people die on the regular of many many things.

Verb, you are aware that there are people who mourn, correct? It's not outside the human experience to be melancholy over the loss of someone you cared about even if that person was beyond the age 50.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I get that but there is a difference between mourning a loss and seemingly believing with a little cloth and the right curfew restrictions anyone can achieve immortality.

Literally nobody here believes anything close to this. You are constantly arguing with the same idiotic straw man.
