There's more to this, or a pandemic is being used as a weapon. For what cause I don't know.

It's definitely being used as a weapon, though I'm not quite sure what they hope it will accomplish. Trump is very likely to be reelected in a landslide.

Wearing a Mask, They Say is to Protect Others: Is that true?

The idea is that if you cough or sneeze, the mask prevents the spread of germs. But I would like to posit that if you are sick, you prevent the spread by staying home and getting better. Crazy, I know.

And if you aren't sick, wearing a mask exposes you to CO2 sickness, likely isn't expensive enough to block virus particles, and creates a warm, moist germ motel right next to your mouth and nose.

To summarize ignorant health practices throughout history: bleeding, leaches, masks.

Great comment Nutt. The handful of times I've worn a mask during this BS, I chewed gum. Even with good dental hygiene (not one cavity in almost 40 years), even my own breath inside the mask is unbearable. Masks are fucking disgusting. You also know that people are reusing them over and over or not washing them.

I actually am now wondering if you're asymptomatic, and sneeze with a mask on (due to allergies or just needing to sneeze), that you're not throwing out a huge viral load that's accumulated in your mask. Potentially making it more harmful for those around you. Fuck masks are gross.

Side note: Anyone think the plural of mask sounds fucked up? Masks? Seems like it should be a deer type word where it stays the same regardless of there being one or many.

Not to mention if you’re wearing an N95 style mask with the “cool” exhale valve that direct exhausts bypassing any filtration media of the mask. I can’t wait to call bullshit on the fucksticks that wear those and tell me I am not protecting other people by choosing not to wear a fear mask.

I don't understand why it's not acceptable to stop older people, 60+ from doing things, but a-ok to stop younger people with laws?

Same reason we strip search all commoner airline passengers instead of using the Israeli method - our society seems to think "profiling" is a great crime and thus should never be used.

Scientists confirm rioting safer than protesting.

It's being used to further along the electronic medical records. So that gov will know every health detail about everyone.

Thanks for that: LOL

It's being used as an excuse to shut down the economy. Notice the states with Democratic governors: Virginia, California, have the worse lock down protocols, while states with Republican governors are opening up and getting the economy rolling again. This is the Dems trying to ruin the economy in their own backyards, hoping to ruin the Great Trump economy, to help ruin his chances in November. With the mainstream left leaning press on their side they can shape the narrative accordingly.

Yes, and to share the burden, all gov paychecks should have been cut by 10% until the shutdown is over. After all, with less tax revenue coming in, the gov needs to adjust same as a private business that sees a loss in revenue.
