Texas is doing better....on the mend.

Coincidence?

DALLAS — Gov. Greg Abbott said that if recent closures and face mask requirements don't lead to better results in the state's fight in the coronavirus pandemic "additional action will be required."

In an interview Friday afternoon with WFAA, Abbott said those measures, such as closing bars and other enforcement, should lead to positive results.

Today, Attorney General Barr told his FBI protection detail to stop, so he could get out of the car and greet the PRO-police protestors standing on the side of the road.

Not only was it nice of him to do that, but nobody except the FBI Agent was wearing a mask.

Empathy and Common Sense combined, in a single vidclip!

So is Arizona.
Coincidence?

PHOENIX – Other than specific exceptions, everybody in metro Phoenix is required to wear a face mask in public after the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved requirements last week.

In one of the most drastic rollbacks of reopenings yet, Arizona is closing bars, gyms, movie theaters and other businesses for 30 days amid a "brutal" increase in Covid-19 cases, Gov. Doug Ducey said Monday.

It's good to see the southern states getting better!

The University of Washington computer coughed up numbers projecting 148,000 more Covid-19 deaths over the next 4 months. 1,180 deaths every single day in the USA for the next 4 months.

Looks like it's going to be wrong again...thankfully.

Yes. The model which the White House has used. But you forgot to mention this:

Murray said that mitigation measures are key to controlling the virus, but that their use and implementation is too inconsistent. For example, IHME projects that more than 66,000 lives could be saved by Dec. 1 if virtually everyone leaving their homes wore masks.

This would seem to be consistent with what's been seen in Texas and Arizona. Masks, and other measures are effective in reducing infections, hospitalizations, and deaths.

When relaxed before appropriate, bad things happen. Just like the model says.

ok I have previously theorized that if you have the virus or catch the virus whilst wearing a mask, you will spread it into your lungs faster and increasing your Inoculum or dose of the virus for the mask-wearer.

This paper discusses this but comes to the opposite conclusion Masks Do More than Protect Others during COVID-19: Reducing the Inoculum of SARS-CoV-2

Asymptomatic infections may be harmful for spread but could actually be beneficial if theylead to higher rates of exposure. Exposing society to SARS-CoV-2 without the unacceptable consequences of severe illness with public masking could lead to greater community-level immunity and slower spread as we await a vaccine. This theory of viral inoculum and mild or asymptomatic disease with SARS-CoV-2 in light of population-level masking shows the benefits of mask-wearing for the individual (as well as others) as a pillar of COVID-19 pandemic control.

In a more recent report from a cruise ship outbreak in Argentina, all passengers were issued surgical masks and all staff provided N95 masks after the initial case of COVID-19 on the ship was detected.41 In this closed setting with masking, where 128 of 217 passengers and staff eventually tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 via RT-PCR, the majority of infected patients on the ship (81%) remained asymptomatic, 41 compared to 18% in the cruise ship outbreak without masking 40 and 40% as the typical rate.

The major point that I see here is a 41% of people in those tight surroundings didn't test positive at all -- immunity or lucky -- more research

The conclusion from the paper if everyone could get a small Inoculum to develop the immune response (poor man's vaccine) herd immunity might be able to develop before a proper vaccine can be developed.

the “inoculum” theory argues for a major protective effect for the individual and will allow for the preservation of life and less severe illness, along with other COVID-19 control measures, as society re-opens. This perspective puts forth another advantage of population-level facial masking (protecting the individual) for SARS-CoV-2 control based on an old but enduring theory18 regarding viral inoculum driving clinical manifestations, as well as epidemiologic observations for COVID-19 over time.

.

So my theory isn't disproved but anecdotal evidence seems to suggest a mask is better for you as you probably won't know you've got sick.

Well some good news here hoping they are right and Trump does mention it sound hopeful so it really gets investigated.

MORE RESEARCH CONCLUSIONS

Last year, the World Health Organization conducted an extensive study of the effects of masks with reducing FLU transmission.

Conclusion?

Ineffective: justthenews.com...

Aren't Covid-19 viruses about the same size as Flu viruses?

Yeeh same size about...

The mask recommendations and mandates are not only Ineffective but also dangerous to people.

Dr. Fauci and the Biden administration are frustrated because the masks (aka face diapers) aren't having the desired effect on Americans.

Our fiercely independent nature is preventing Americans from being dumbed-down by the masks, as is happening in many other developed nations.

As a result Fauci-Biden say we'll be wearing masks in 2021 and 2022..at least.

Vaccines and herd immunity must be a MYTH.

UPDATE: A real life example of what consistent mask wearing does to your brain.

This lady was one of the brightest school advisors in town prior to 2020.

Brief Clip: twitter.com...

As of 2.22.2022 (Sh*t hit the fans day.)

Amazingly, there are still 9 states that mandate wearing the little paper/cloth diapers on your face, in public locations!

Here's the list of states run by irrational dictators: www.aarp.org...

If you live in one, be aware that the individuals in charge will find other ways to control and restrict your life, after this mask fiasco has passed. It's in their blood now, and they'll be looking for their next "fix", quickly.

HAVE WE BEEN SUFFICIENTLY DAMAGED? Or, (more likely) Fauci and Biden's attempt to dumb down America...FAILED.

The Liberal Media is portraying this soon-to-be-announced CDC relaxation of Mask-wearing guidelines, as something we should all be on our knees thanking Walensky, and Fauci for allowing us to do.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration will significantly loosen federal mask-wearing guidelines to protect against COVID-19 transmission on Friday, according to two people familiar with the matter, meaning most Americans will no longer be advised to wear masks in indoor public settings.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday will announce a change to the metrics it uses to determine whether to recommend face coverings, shifting from looking at COVID-19 case counts to a more holistic view of risk from the coronavirus to a community. Under current guidelines, masks are recommended for people residing in communities of substantial or high transmission — roughly 95% of U.S. counties, according to the latest data.

The new metrics will still consider caseloads, but also take into account hospitalizations and local hospital capacity, which have been markedly improved during the emergence of the omicron variant.

Want to bet this relaxation of CDC oppression is related to not only the big Trucker protest, but also to give President Biden something to brag about next Tuesday in his State of the Union speech. (i.e. We have brought Covid Under Control!).
