Anyhow, people with type 1 diabetes not their fault, people with type 2 due to bad nutrition their fault. Same for smokers and people not wearing seatbelts.

Covid has been around, but only recently became a partisian disease

Total freedom is one extreme. People make their own decisions. Total slavery is the other. Slavemasters (government) make all the decisions. I am closer to total freedom, but not far from the middle as most laws and regulations we have in this country are reasonable and desirable to me. I hate the concept of North Korea. I am nowhere near endorsing that kind of government control over its people. It's the very worst example of big government supposedly "taking care" of its people. That level of extreme control is always brutal, because people who haven't been hammered into total submission desire at least some degree of self-determination. |

Congratulations on working in the medical field - didn't realize this was a **** measuring contest of how connected we were to our sources? I'm sure their paychecks, especially if they're working in the ER, help diminish any concerns over CO2 levels with extended mask wearing. NFL players risk CTE and all sorts of other health issues, but their paychecks diminish those concerns as well. Sorry to hear about the loss of some of your colleagues. I'm not going to get into the guilt trip attempt of anti-vax/anti-mask people recanting their beliefs, or labeling dying/dead people as "stupid" as you did. Ask your colleagues if healthy eating, exercise, proper sleep, and less stress is a good COVID/illness prevention method. Would love to hear their takes on that, and why the White House/CDC/Fauci refused to suggest such methods.

I suppose this is really getting into the weeds here, but what I was trying to get at was a better understanding of the "spectrum theory" (if you will). If I understood your two examples correctly, this is the one which you wrote to describe someone who is not you (let's call them "OKwithMoreRegulation"): "a person who favors seat belt and helmet requirements, and vaccination requirements, and facemask requirements, is also more likely to favor increased gun control laws. That doesn't mean they necessarily favor ALL laws, regulations, mandates, but their thinking generally leads them to support such measures." So, the spectrum might look something like this, then: "Total freedom" - - - - You - -(midpoint) - - - - "OKWithMoreRegulation" - - - - North Korea Is that fair?

I wasn't too upset with Covid mask mandates at first because of 2 things. First, nobody knew exactly what we were dealing with, and second, the public was in a panic and was turning to government and the medical experts to do something. So I figured, even if the masks were in effect a placebo, to give people some sense of control over the situation, there was societal benefit there. I know a lot of people further toward the "absolute freedom" end of the spectrum disagree on that. I got the vaccinations for myself, but wasn't at all happy about some government (and other) employees losing their jobs because they didn't get them. Some of the same people who protest and make life miserable for Supreme Court justices over the concept of a person "owning their own body" were just fine with government essentially forcing experimental vaccines into peoples' bodies. I say experimental because these vacs were rushed into production and didn't go through the usual approval process (due to time constraints primarily.) For discussions about Covid or guns, I don't think we're really that far apart. And I mean all of us in the discussions. We all believe in government, and rule of law, personal freedom, and trying to have a society. Some of us tend toward the personal freedom side (fewer restrictions) while some tend the other way. My point with Peter is that I think most people first decide what they think and believe, and then look to see which political party stands for most of the same things, rather than people choosing a political party to do their thinking for them, then becoming a cheerleader for those positions. Like picking a favorite sports team to cheer for. I think people who vote purely partisan tickets, simply because they've decided they're a member of a party, are being brain dead. I've said before, I could train a pigeon to vote a partisan ticket. Just look for the R or D next to a candidate and peck on it. Is it better to go through life thinking for yourself, issue by issue, sometimes agreeing with, sometimes disagreeing with, members of all parties? Or is it better to go through life with essentially the brain of a pigeon? Last edited by Mark17; 08-09-2022 at 05:25 PM. |

Mark, let me put it this way, and I am fine if your starting point is ideology not party affiliation. I am not quarreling which comes first. To my mind, a "more freedom" ideology would point towards objecting to MANDATORY masks or vaccines, but should be neutral as to any given individual's assessment of whether the science points to wearing or getting one or not. Yet, from what I have seen, there is a strong correlation between people's ideology (or political party as a proxy for that, if imperfect) and their views on the vaccines and masks themselves. This is what puzzles me. There doesn't seem to be a logical connection. Personally, I am mostly in the more freedom camp and don't think there should be mandates, but I believe pretty strongly it's a good idea to wear an N95 in certain settings and maybe in even more settings if you're higher risk. But I think if I expressed that view of masks, most people would assume I was a liberal or whatever the word is. Conversely, people espousing the view of fuck vaccines and masks are probably not liberals.
These days it seems so many issues seem to divide along party lines that aren't really logically connected to the party's underlying ideology. As I said before, very few people are agnostic about questions which should be answered without regard to political or ideological affiliation.

If you recall, early on in the pandemic, government was pleading with people to NOT use N95 masks, because they wanted the nation's supply of those to go to healthcare workers. Maybe we agree then, that the cheap masks that soon became available to the masses weren't particularly effective. You're saying you use N95 masks because they are effective, but oppose mandates. I'm saying that early on, I supported mandates, even though the cheap masks the public was told to use weren't very effective. So, I think you and I, at least, are separating ideology and the science of the effectiveness of the masks. |

Or, "I don't think masks add much value" could be an agnostic point of view based on data and studies and a personal cost benefit analysis, but time and again that point of view seems bound up with defiance about the whole thing and some false narrative that refusing to wear one somehow makes one more of an individualist. And people who wear them are lemmings. Etc.

I'm not going to waste my breath talking trying to change your mind about Fauci since I can tell you've already condemned that man. I disagree with that stance. What you should understand though, is that science evolves, sometimes over short periods like days and weeks, and opinions can and do change based on science. The guy has my respect and many of my colleagues at NIH that work directly with him. His body of work on HIV and other areas of research before COVID speak to his impact on science and health. You might do a literature search on him in your spare time if you like. Of course, if you'd rather support the folks that pushed bleach injections and ivermectin, it's still a free country! |

Peter, I don't understand your continued engagement with individuals who are obviously borderline "Fuck society, survival of the fittest" as their most coherent policy. The ones who will play "hide the peanut" in a group of kids with a nut allergy, because they believe that it is made up by the manufactures of epi-pens. And the people just need to toughen up, or stay away, because, well, FREEDUM.

2) I think it's despicable to call what medical professionals went through as "the front lines". I also don't think their health was much at risk. The shortage of nurses came from hospitals firing unvaxxed nurses, not a huge spike in nursing deaths. COVID isn't a killer of average healthiness or better people. Most nurses/doctors are healthy. I also talked to nurses and doctors who have said the whole thing is blown way out or proportion. So excuse me for not holding these people in the same regard as military or firefighters, etc. "Front lines"... Psh... 3) Trump super spreader events is what you're going with? I don't recall mass COVID transmission at these. You're not gonna use Obama's Martha's Vineyard party (which legitimately was a mass spreader), or National Sports Collectors Convention (if we want to be less political) as an example? Trump is who you want to target, proving you have bias in this? 4) Thank you for not wasting a breath. I wouldn't want you to rebreathe too much CO2. Ask dogs what they think of Fauci, and if he's "respectable". Oh wait... They're probably dead if he was able to get his hands on them. Better yet, ask him some questions in Chinese. I hear he's fluent. Wuhan. Enjoy your night.

The main thing I have noticed with how people look at Covid is how it affected those around them. I live in a city that got hit very hard so most here take it very serious. My younger brother lives in an area that only one person got it and it was a mild case.
So when I went to where he lives for our mothers funeral they made a joke of it. After I explained how many died where I live and my other younger brother(different mothers) got it and it left him with lasting problems they changed their opinion. It also helped me understand why some people act like it was nothing. Just my 2 cents and maybe not worth that. |

There are plenty of ways to be a hero. Let's not water the terms "hero" and "front lines" down with hyperbole. From day 1, the media's goal was to portray medical professionals in such a light that would make it hard to criticize them or not view them in such a way. If you went against the grain, you were bullied by the people who view them as heroes. Same stands today, apparently. Ironic how the left is supposed to be social justice warriors for individualism and against bullying, yet are the biggest offenders of being bullies to get people to conform.

The data also indicates that after Mar 2021 and the availability of vaccines, the excess deaths declined significantly (while still being notably higher). I think it is important to note that every day people die due to accidents and disease, both self-created and not. These numbers represent people who theoretically should not have died. And accountability should be placed at the feet of a society who refuses to do what is our moral obligation to others. People like to pretend that vaccines, shutdowns, testing, and the like did not work. The simple fact is that we will never know, since a large percentage of our society refused from the get-go to even attempt, or immediately tried to (initially)deny the existence of the virus, or 'get back to business as usual' since it didn't affect them personally. Not one epidemiologist thought that 14 days was enough to "Stop the Spread". Consensus was 90-120 days with 80% participation, and extensive testing, contact tracing and isolation. We never got much above 65% and the other prongs were never able to be instituted.

Some idiot will blame the vaccines on the excess deaths and then ask "prove me wrong".
But that is where we are. Distorted timelines, false narratives, whole cloth fabrications. Disparaging healthcare professionals as highly paid, propped-up media puppets? Blaming vaccine mandates for those whose job it is to make us better, not worse, for the 'manufactured crisis"? Less than 2% have quit due to vaccine policies (both for and against). Nearly 20% have left due to "burnout" (various reasons).

Lots of literal and figurative scatology on this thread.

Your Trump Derangement Syndrome is showing. I have yet to mention Trump. I would love to know what I've said that has been factually wrong. Does it agree with your agenda/point of view? Nope. But that doesn't make me stupid.

Nearly every post of yours skews the scoring heartily in a sub-optimal direction, unfortunately.

Their conclusions say a powered air purifying respirator is much better, which pretty much didn't really require a study. It also doesn't recommend not using other masks. And it doesn't test other masks. None of that invalidates that thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people routinely wear a mask for extended periods of time with few ill effects. It's really risk management, in the example Ben mentioned, the employee had a choice of breathing air laden with cement dust or wearing a mask which probably elevated his co2 levels. Which would you choose? In the case of covid, the choice is less clear, but to go with your "fear" claim, aren't you basically trading one fear -covid- for another -raised co2 levels? Which is more reasonable? Knowing even basic filtration concepts, it was easy to see that any mask would be of some help. The early claim the only n95 was useful was a major error. The one I used during the height of things was a multi layer cloth with the outer layer being non woven polypropylene. Which tests as roughly equivalent to N95 all on its own. Plus it was washable and reusable. That never caused me any problem, even during summer when heat and humidity typically bothers me a lot. my typical use was for getting groceries which takes about an hour in store maybe a bit longer if it was busy. Currently I don't wear one unless I think the overall situation is very iffy. I didn't bother outdoors or in the car. Overall, I think the panic some people have over slightly elevated co2 is just an excuse to not do something that may be uncomfortable for a fairly brief time. *I've worked in many environments where the air quality was poor. Not cement pointing poor except for maybe the one place which sawed slabs from marble blocks. The top 5? Place that processed fish remnants into mink food. Yes, their entire business was making big blocks of frozen rotted fish. One scale on a shoe could make the smell follow you for a week. Sewage treatment plant.... at least once you left you aired out in a couple minutes. Machine shop running automatic machines. Had a nice oil fog on humid August days. That marble block company, I usually went when their stuff was broken down. Which meant they'd turned the water off and the rock dust was free to be blown around. Low level nuclear waste compactor room. Actually not all that bad. No smell, but obviously there was a bit of radiation around. I did lose a wrench I set down in the wrong place. Plating plants, semi conductor manufaturers, lead extruders.... different concerns, but usually not with the air. I don't worry much about exposure to chemicals or much of anything else. **yes, I eventually did get covid, from another volunteer at a bike charity. Probably originally from one of the clients. After all three shots and stopping mask use. Weirdest sickness I've ever had tested negative while actively sick, and positive after. 5-6 different symptoms, but each one got its own day. Like tiredness one day, next day felt great but congested, then the next was fever etc. |

"We" trust the government to assure a more or less safe food supply. What's "safe" or "clean is debatable, but the odds of getting say some bad beef is much lower than it would be if it was unregulated. "We" trust them to ensure our air is sort of clean. And compared to say 1970 its WAY better. One of the particulate regs in the 80's was fought by industry until they realized the equipment to comply made their stuff more efficient with some very interesting cost reductions. "we" trust them to operate a fairly safe highway system "we" trust them to ensure that airlines are safe.. (Baggage being lost and flights cancelled is much less regulated) IS everything the government does a benefit to me? Of course not. Do they do some really bad things? Again, of course. But overall, I'd trust them over PSA.. |

Even to the point of government over reach, not usually on the part of the overall program, but the local people implementing it. https://www.fns.usda.gov/programs https://www.americanprogress.org/art...ting-exercise/ https://www.myplate.gov/ Being healthy and eating right is a good thing, but it's not the answer to everything. |
