I just don't know anyone personally but I knew it was possible based on past with other things. The article did go into why it likely can happen.
I always wash hands and prefer social distancing anyway. Add in vaccines and me wearing masks indoors with groups that are not my family/cohort and hopefully we will avoid the worst of everything.
Ok, let's say there are five people in the box...
You mean like Small Pox?
The pandemic is over, haven’t you heard?
We’re not exactly walking through streets full of sewage now and most Dr’s these days aren’t prescribing bloodletting as a cure, to the guys point though, nature won the battle and humankind won the war and life did move on.
I don’t think any states have outdoor mandates anymore.
Good time to buy stock in Abbott Labs with millions and millions of PCR, Rapid kits that need to be made and currently being made/shipped.
and it rhymedTish! You spoke French!!
Forcefully masking toddlers, requiring a vaccine passport for a 5 year old to eat at McDonalds, and closing down schools are not reasonable precautions. You may not care about children, especially the underprivileged that don’t have the means to do remote learning, but I do.
Better get used to life the life you are dealt with so in the future we can have better days to be with friends and family.
At the event in question, you either had to be vaccinated or have a negative Covid test. Just to provide a bit of detail.
Forcefully masking toddlers? What is the difference between a 5 year old being asked to show proof and a 25 year old?
School closures and remote learning have been a disaster. The data is clear on this point. We should have prioritized kids and their education. But in many places, not so much. This is like a trigger topic for me so I will just leave it. We let the kids down. Very sad.
No not exactly. Definitely not centuries "The Black Death (also known as the Pestilence, the Great Mortality or the Plague) was a bubonic plague pandemic occurring in Afro-Eurasia from 1346 to 1353. It is the most fatal pandemic recorded in human history, causing the death of 75–200 million people in Eurasia and North Africa, peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351."
What we commonly call "The Plague" aka, the Black Death of the 14th century only lasted a few years, but the disease itself continued to pop up and cause localized epidemics for centuries. Isaac Newton formulated his famous three laws of motion while in the countryside trying to avoid the Great Plague of London in the 1660s. An example of historical social distancing.

I'm not advocating for this, but the threat is real. We had sudden closures due to lack of staff. That's tough and harder on families than consistency. We've been warned schools and transportation can be closed on a moment's notice. I worry we'll shut down with zero plans which is far worse. But at this point we cannot plan a closure because we had no time so it would be just as bad. Worrying about 5am calls for closures is real here and not a good answer either.
The gullible who ignored and rejected science are the ones loyal to their beliefs/cause ( they believe more in ideology instead of reality ). They made their bed and they better be prepared to sleep in it. Unfortunately for one example it has stressed our health care system to the breaking point.
