Lives Cut Short: Remembering Health Care Workers In Their 20s Killed By COVID-19

it's more like 80% apparently. in fact it's probably been around in the west for up to 6 months before anyone started testing for it anyway, when nobody took any measures to stop the spread. if it's so deadly and infectious, why aren't we all dead? why is it that in countries like sweden, belarus, japan, and countless poorer countries, their levels of mortality are no worse than countries who had the strictest lockdowns?

nobody can make up their mind if asymptomatic people can spread it or not anyway. studies on the diamond princess cruise ship showed that people in the same room didn't infect each other. but apparently wearing a mask should be mandatory for everyone.

i think for a lot of people, the mask symbolises them "drinking the kool-aid" so to speak. for me it makes me feel like i am admitting we should all change our lives for something that won't affect most of us.

i don't want to get into all the other things that are bad for health, both individually and for institutions, that nobody presumes to force on other people. why has everyone jumped on board with this one? because the media has told them to. and they've been given their script by people who are going to benefit from it either politically or economically.

it also just shows just how easily manipulated people are. hence someone like you coming onto a sub that pushes back against "the new normal" to proclaim your undying adherence to the new rules which have no basis in logic or historical protocol for this kind of "pandemic".
