None of the above, many people got it recently with Omicron, most of with either no symptoms, very little to a few days of fatigue/headaches/etc, which changed pretty much everything. Politically it's over. Mandates will drop all over the place in the coming weeks.
He didn't say people were wearing them as a reminder. He said that people who don't want to wear them and who would like to just call the pandemic over are reminded by seeing or being forced to wear masks that it's not really over. A reminder they don't really want.
This assumes that everything they put out is a good faith effort at sharing the truth. That's a pretty big assumption.
Throughout this thing, I liked to hope that once there was no longer an actual clinical need for masks we could all agree to stop.
That would be. It's a good thing that's not what was said.
1.5. Get vaccinated and move on with your life.
We've done it before. I'm confident we'll be able to do it again. It may just take 5, 10, or 20 years. Probably not 20.
Yup, that's kind of where we'll be stuck until we get to 3. With lots of fighting too.
I am vaccinated. I don’t think wearing a mask in public is not “moving on with my life.”
Who said anything about wearing a mask to remind you of something? Seeing people wearing a mask is a reminder that there is a pandemic. Social distancing markers are a reminder that there is a pandemic. Capacity limits are a reminder that there is a pandemic. Vaccination requirements are a reminder that there is a pandemic. If you just want to put it all behind you and love on then you can’t have constant reminders that things aren’t “back to normal.”
Then don’t wear one. Unless it’s mandated in your state?
These things weren't stated as a hypothesis. They were stated as if they were proven theories.
Would do it but I cannot get one booked. Crazy enough they were booked solid for spring break. They need to bring back more guides to give us a chance. Like peasants I was on hold 3.5 hours to be told nope....
Tell me how I can just move on and not wear a mask when it's still required places? There is the problem. Move on if vaccinated doesn't help with the unvaccinated aspect of the pandemic.
You do know that over 9,300 people die every day in the US alone…if we pointed out every death, diagnosis or positive test of everything out there on a daily basis, we’d never leave our homes. Grow up and live your life.
Again.... why does wearing a mask = not living life?
My reply wasn’t to the mask post. My reply was to the “ that’s not how science works” post.
Everything stated in science in the beginning is a hypothesis. Always has been.. unless we have encountered something exactly the same as in the past. Usually doesn’t happen. I don’t remember him ever saying something,followed by “ this is a proven theory”. That’s the way you took it.
True. But most of those aren’t contagious. That sort of sets this thing we call COVID apart from heart disease, cancer, stroke etc.
