If masks and other government policies work, how do you explain this?

[Phantasmal]

Think of others? Then they should think of others as well.
Wear your masks! It makes you believe you are protected, so what do you care if others don't? You're protected, right? That's what you all say.

I stay home, that way, I know I’m protected and as you have been told, it’s not only wear your mask, but keep your distance and wash your hands!

I care about others, that is why I urge them to do those three things. I don’t like to see humans suffer and I feel empathy for those poor medical workers who are overworked physically and emotionally. I try to do no harm.

They've been claiming EVERYTHING on all sides of the coin since February trying to make the piles fear stick. Governments and "scientists" all over the world
have changed their positions/advice/opinions/predictions/outlooks/remedies like the wind. I'll just do my own thing and stand resolutely against fear.

You don’t understand a novel virus and how it’s a learning process and how this virus will be studied for years, like AIDS. How things science learns will evolve.

I will do as the evidence dictates. Unfortunately, there is no evidence that I can find that proves that masks stop the spread of the Chinese disease.

Their masks protect them though..........right? Evidently not. They need vaccines.
Do what you want to feel comfortable about the safety of your health. You're doing
what you feel protects you. Be happy about it and enjoy life.

How about Joe Blow restaurant owner in NYC trying to make a living and pay his rent and provide for his employees? Is HE essential? How about his employees?

EVERY worker is essential, and EVERY business is essential. YOU don't get to pick winners and losers...

Speaking of New York, now we learn that Governor Cuomo has made administering the vaccine to drug addicts a priority:

There is more to it than just the protection from the virus. You have no compassion, very selfish. All nonmask wearers are self centered and selfish. I pity you.

You're an imbecile.

If those measures work, why are rates of infection seemingly unaffected by them?

Is that so?

What are the other reasons for wearing a mask, imbecile?

I didn't think you could explain your position, imbecile, and I was correct.

Yet here you are.

You're an imbecile who is incapable of supporting your claims. If you have scientific evidence that lockdowns and masks are working, post it.

It's not that novel, It's a SARS 2 and HCQ was used with no fights back then.

COVID-19 cases have skyrocketed in California where lockdown measures have been nothing short of draconian.

States that didn’t lock down are doing far better than California.

Texas and Florida’s case rates combined don’t equal California’s.

Texas has relaxed its lockdown measures.

And don't try to tell me that "population density" accounts for the disparity.

New Jersey is the most densely-populated state. Take a look at their latest numbers:

And you received your medical training at what school?

Basics. What is a novel coronavirus? A novel coronavirus is a new coronavirus that has not been previously identified. The virus causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is not the same as the coronaviruses that commonly circulate among humans and cause mild illness, like the common cold.Dec 17, 2020

OK. Calm down. Don't bring emotions into this. I am addressing the one big issue on the table.
The left orders me to wear a mask to protect OTHERS. If OTHERS are wearing masks, then by their own logic, those OTHERS should be protected.
Why care what happens to ME. YOU do YOUR thing. I'LL do MINE.
See?

No, because you and all non mask wearing people endanger other, see? You are the one being emotional about it and making it political. It takes everyone wearing a mask, social distancing and washing hands to end this.

Excellent question.

One of my friends got the China virus in the hospital when he went in to get chemo for his cancer.
Some of the staff at the hospital my GF works at got the China virus while working. Masks may be a deterrent, but are NOT 100% effective.
