@lynnwhitcomb3226 Which is why we've suffered respiratory viruses, all our lives. In other countries, which value courtesy towards others, people with a cold or flu, wear a mask when they go out, all their lives.

@glen46823 That sort of self centered thought is not great. Especially when children under five cannot, as of now, be vaccinated. At present two children die of Covid each day, in the US. That doesn't sound like a large number, unless it's your child. And the majority of these dead children had no comorbidities. MIS-C strikes down healthy, normal weigh children.

@HamhocksUnlimited A recent CDC article proves the efficacy of masks.

@HamhocksUnlimited What are you blithering about. Although Israel began vaccination before the US, they the same percentage of fools, who believe the lies, and did not get vaccinated. Only 76% of Israeli adults are fully vaccinated, and 66% boosted. And the rates are even worse for children. Just like here, vaccination and masking has become political. The UAE and Portugal have a much greater percentage of people vaccinated. And, no surprise, their case rates and hospitalizations are extremely low.

Which will be here first, midterms or the sixth wave?

@RemoteViewer1 Coronaviruses have been around a long time, but not the virus that is causing the pandemic. It only hit the human population in 2019. Viruses were here long before mammals. But, intelligent people get the vaccines we have, to prevent them causing disease. You're still here, so what? Are you the only person, in the whole world, who matters? So far, 5,827,629 have died because of Covid-19. Their lives were just as dear, to them, as yours is to you. Stop being such a selfish git, and get over yourself.

@RemoteViewer1 I've known about coronaviruses since the late 1970s, so what? This is a novel coronavirus. It is unique, among other diseases, because most transmission occurs before a person is symptomatic. That is why it is so damned difficult to control, especially when morons refuse to be vaccinated.

My state says they'll drop the mask mandate at the end of March. Of course, when another variant comes along, that will change.

@diveunder Obesity isn't contagious, and my family is a normal weight.

@RemoteViewer1 Not this coronavirus. And, death is not the most common negative outcome of a Covid infection. I caught the damned virus, at SFO, in early February 2020. It left me with a cough and fatigue. The fatigue went away after I was vaccinated, but I still have the damned cough. Others have it worse, people in their twenties with dementia like an 80 year old, just because they caught Covid. Young athletes, with hearts and lungs so damaged, by the disease, they can no longer compete. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, not even a jerk like you.

What will they all do, when the next variant, with an even greater degree of immune escape, comes along?

I'm glad I live in a blue state, concerned with my welfare.

@generalalduin9548 I don't see how, inviting the next wave of deaths, will be good for poll numbers. Another nasty variant will hit the country, all the precautions will have need to be returned, and people will be even more aggravated.

@JasonDrvmz Which is why we have police and courts.

@lynnwhitcomb3226 So, because you lost your loved ones, it's okay for others to face the same loss? That's a rather disgusting outlook. Ignoring a pandemic never made it go away.

@vercoda9997 Until Putin realizes he can't win, and backs his troops off, the internet is going to be thick with these Russian trolls, spreading their disinformation.

@anewfuture Bid deal. I knew that a novel coronavirus was coming, in late December 2019. All that took was reading the MMWR, which I've done since I was 15.

@geuxbdheucbe8397 Yes, those vaccinated for Covid-19, can still be infected, as with every viral vaccine we have, except HPV. But, studies of infective viral particles shed of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated prove the unvaccinated shed over a hundred times as many infective viruses as do the vaccinated. Vaccination greatly reduces you ability to spread the disease.
1
@HamhocksUnlimited Thrombosis, from vaccination, is extremely rare. Birth control and HRT have much higher rates of thrombosis. Myocarditis, from vaccination, is transitory, while from infection is far more severe, much more common, and often causes permanent heart damage. If you live in a bubble, where you never come in contact with the Covid-19 virus, it might be safer to avoid vaccination. But, when you compare the risks of vaccination to unprotected infection, it is hundreds of times safer to be vaccinated.
1
@devo2 There is no country with a 100% vaccination rate. If you look at CDC data, vaccination has greatly reduced the number of hospitalizations and death. Vaccination works, but not when fools make up bogus reasons to avoid it.
1
@Buckhunter66 You point to data, from before vaccines. But, since we've been vaccinated, comorbidities are far less important than vaccination status. Also, two children, die each day in the US, from Covid, and they don't have any comorbidities.
1
@Buckhunter66 Covid-19 had not yet emerged February 2019. The first cases, in China, weren't reported until December of that year. The first US case was in 2020. Your entire diatribe only proves you don't know anything about how this virus emerged.
1
@TheEnd-eg6wq If I could go back in time, I'd have stayed in Israel in February 2020, so I wouldn't have caught the damned virus in the San Francisco airport, and could have been vaccinated sooner.
1
Because children under five can't be vaccinated. We're losing two children a day, and many more are being disabled, through MIS-C from Covid. Until our littlest ones can be protected, we should remain vigilant.

With 165 dead today, and 263 yesterday, Texas is not "just fine". Your deaths per capita are at the US mean. My state, which has mask mandates, is doing a lot better. We've had half the deaths per capita, and no deaths today and eleven yesterday.

@brittanyjordan1265 Do you think that is an insult? All you've said is BC_A isn't a selfish jerk.

@colowyowatchman4420 God forbid that more children get f*d up by such people. Why should a female risk her life, to give birth to a child, that will only be perverted?

@daveruckert7926 Science evolves because we learn more and more each day. A dogma, that cannot adapt to new information, is useless. We need everyone who can, to get vaccinated, so we can safely drop precautions, like masks. You don't have a choice to crap in the street, or ignore traffic lights. When other people's lives are a stake, selfish people don't have the right to make the rules. Be a good citizen, stop putting others at risk, and get vaccinated.
1
@RemoteViewer1 Your obesity cannot kill other people, but your lack of vaccination can. Do you understand the difference?

@cellardoor1122 It is really funny when all these 'christians' call others sheep. I'm not of their religion, and even I know, in their god's comparison between sheep and goats, the sheep are supposed to be the good ones. I always found this weird, as I find goats amusing, and would much rather spend time with goats than sheep.

@AdamSmith-gs2dv Some people aren't self centered, and worry about the health of others, in their families.

@manoftruth0935 None of the US vaccines used HIV for anything. There was one vaccine, developed in Australia, that used an HIV vector. It was very effective. But because it caused people to test positive for AIDS, despite being uninfected with that virus, it was never put into production. #science from someone with a microbiology degree

@EpicAlcatraz99 This virus obtains about one mutation per replication cycle. The unvaccinated allow the virus to replicate freely, while the vaccinated do not. Therefore, vaccination prevents mutation that could give rise to a variant even more immune evasive than omicron. Plus, many of us have children and grandchildren under the age of five. They can't be vaccinated yet. Two children die of Covid-19, in the US, every day. We don't want your selfishness to kill our babies.
1
AntifaAreLowLifeTrailerTrash Case numbers among vaccinated people are unimportant, true. But, unvaccinated cases allow the virus to mutate and spread, so do matter.

If you don't know, you must be unaware. Mine does.

@francismarion6400 Canadian police, of both genders, do. And they did. The Ambassador Bridge was cleared of the goons.

@lynnwhitcomb3226 If you suffer, just from wearing a mask, you aren't wearing it properly.

@colowyowatchman4420 It was Pence, not Fauci, that said that.

@bobboonah Wrong, cloth masks are only 56% effective in preventing infection. But, that means they work more than half the time. Look at the CDC website. Cloth masks are 56%, surgical masks 66%, and respirators are 83% effective in preventing infection.
1
@bobboonah Already read them, and a few much better studies, published in more reputable journals that have the opposite conclusion.

Just like ocean waves, the pandemic has crests and troughs. We are on a downslope now. And then the cases will begin to climb again. The end of the fifth wave doesn't mean there won't be a sixth.
