My question for those who are pro mask, will you consider this the new normal and wear a mask from now on the rest of your life in public spaces? What would change your mind about the masks. I don’t believe covid will ever be eradicated, it will mutate the same way the seasonal flu does and maybe vaccines will have to keep up with it. At least this is what I heard from some experts, covid likely will never go away.
So masks forever, right guys? We will see you in 2030 still masking it up and have a social circle of only 10 people... but really we know in about a years time you will rationalize why it’s ok to not use a mask anymore... maybe you need to hear 50 cases per day vs 100, maybe a vaccine that’s 70 percent effective... but remember you said masks aren’t perfect but they reduce the risks! So let’s just hope you stay committed to that life long risk reduction.
Well, for starters if it’s still a pandemic and it’s still recommended as a mitigating tool, then yes I will wear a mask. How hard is it to be considerate of others around you, the majority feel this way, so if you’re the minority perhaps the problem is you
Daily new cases globally are nearly 300k, the pandemic was declared back in March and April when cases were well below 100k so surely you would wait until daily cases are below 100k again before you would even consider going out with no mask? Do you even think it’s possible that the world will ever see less than 100lk cases in a day going forward? I don’t. So I just wonder what metrics you use to feed the fear... if the experts came out tomorrow and said it’s not as bad as we thought, pandemic is over, you would then instantly not use a mask anymore? Is it as simple as just doing as you are told?
I just think it’s hilarious because one of these days you will likely change your mind about masks, and I just want to know what it is that will make you change your mind. How many weddings will you skip, how many thanksgivings will you miss?
Cases are not deaths. But the media would you to think that a case meant automatic deaths.
Also, donalD trump wasn’t wrong, and I know it triggers some, but the more tests you do, the more cases you will find
Don’t forget, 80% of people show no or very mild symptoms.
Also, I won’t ever change my mind. Here’s why, I’m pretty sure my entire family experienced I the covid last Christmas.
When the other 3 in my household went to the doctor for a ‘cold’ they were told it was viral, but not pneumonia but also could not identify what virus it was. They were all told to go home and come back if it got worse. It didn’t. Everyone for better in a week or so. I didn’t experience any symptoms at all. There were no lockdowns at that point so in theory we were all spreading the virus. And yet in my area there has only been 5 deaths since March-all in LTC homes, which we did not visit. There has also been very, very few hospitalizations.
If you know anyone who works in a factory they can probably tell you that most of their employees were also ‘sick’ over Christmas and into January.
That all makes sense if the covid is as contagious as we are being told. If over 2000 people a day travelled from China before the lockdowns, how many would it take to bring the virus and have it spread? Well it would have had over 4 months to spread freely.
If the virus spreads at logorithmic rates, it would be impossible to not have most people exposed in a few months, especially in dense populations like Toronto and most of southern Ontario where people travel daily on the 401 to other major Centers.
And yet masks weren’t mandated for months after being the virus was identified in Canada. Maybe our government should be held accountable like trump for causing all those unnecessary deaths. If masks worked, and the govt didn’t use that tool to save lives, doesn’t that make them some kind of responsible??
I won’t skip any weddings or funerals. I won’t be one of those whiners that “regrets” not saying good bye to a parent who died alone of cancer because the govt didn’t want you spread covid to them and kill them.
I won’t change my mind or do what I’m told just because someone says so. Especially the govt, they have a looooong list of corruption and lies and just plain old unethical self serving behaviours.
