📰News COVID thread

[Juggs]

More and more fear mongering tweets and articles about a new, more deadly strain of Covid coming in the near future....as many are pointing out, just in time as we midterm elections are in sight. I'm sure that's a coincidence.

Gotta have a reason to keep the cheat by mail system in place.

Yep. And for Fauci to almost fake-retire only to say he has to stay in power to tell the plebes how to live.

China is shutting shit down, but their vaccine sucks

Ever since I had covid I have had a kind of "off" sense of smell and therefore taste. A little unpleasant. Especially notice it with weed lol. Finally googled it and it is a thing.

Hope it goes away soon. Anybody else?

Ms. Breeze is still having fatigue issue from her bout of covid last summer, sense of smell ok.

 

[Juggs]

Old farts. But good luck to the old lady and the fatigue issues.

There have been reports of an increase in people developing diabetes post covid. Fucking Chinese really know how to fuck with us.

Nothing to see here.

So why are we hearing from Fauci again about needing to mask up again over this unseen resurgence of the pandemic? It's getting to be damn near harmless and here we go with the fear mongering again.

Judge rules against masks on planes and trains. Should be interesting if airlines try to enforce it as you know a lot of people will take them off now.

I think partially because Covid fear gives Fauci “power” & attention, and gives pretty much worthless bureaucrats the same thing. I saw someone fly fishing Saturday with a mask on, out in a mountain stream, no one nearby. I thought about going nearby & coughing incessantly & make them leave the spot they had staked out, but I’m trying to be mature, some anyway, so I didn’t

and more boosters for the paranoid whackos and probably some kind of kickback for Fauci and plenty of other people

Gonna be some pissed off flight attendants now that they have no authority.

 

[RIP]

I'm sitting on an airplane without a mask on. It's glorious.

[Evil gator]

guy I used to work with posted a long traumatic email about how he was on a flight when this was announced and how awful it was to make this announcement and for people to put their masks on fingers and spin them around. This is a 40 year old man with no medical issues I know of.

Why is it mainly liberals that want masks to be required?

 

[Evil gator]

its all WHY DO YOU WANT TO KILL CHILDREN on twitter. The same people who were certain everyone in Florida would die when mask mandates were lifted there.

I believe it's an extension of the Trump hate, they got so entrenched in it as a counter point to Trump and anti-maskers that they cant let it go. They also will have to find another non-verbal signal to show that they are liberals. Maybe they'll all start cross dressing.

 

[Evil gator]

Also I think a lot of them think its scientific even though unless its N-95 worn properly (which no one does) it barely helps. Its hilarious the plane one is freaking people out because everyone removes them to eat and drink.

In the liberal coastal areas like where i live the fear was really infectious. We'd been at a flea market and were going to lunch, and my friend was on the street and freaked out about not having her mask. Like, to walk in and sit down.

 

[pg.]

Yeah...I guess it's a product of what you watch or read. Liberal media is COVID COVID COVID DEATH DEATH DEATH while conservative media is kind of meh.

I mean twitter, fb etc were censoring anything that didn't agree with you were a terrible person if you didn't vax and mask.

I don't see how people can be that stupid. You're sitting at a table in a restaurant for an hour without a mask. What difference does walking 20 feet to the table make? None at all.

I still see people around here driving with their mask on. Still a high % wearing them at publix...primarily women. Like very disproportionately. Is it because they worry more or are more obedient to the media overlords?
