The Coronavirus thread

Quote: missedhervee

Doctors take an oath to heal the sick ... all the sick ... including unvaccinated dolts.

They do, but nowhere does it say that we have to pay them to do it.

It’s actually not odd at all.

Hard to catch the flu when everyone was masked and social distancing.

Thank you.

Not just here, but this conspiracy nonsense is carrying around for other diseases as well. I don't know who started it, but it is getting crazy....

Who would have thought that masks, socially distancing, and more flu shots than most years (because they are being pushed harder) would lower flu rates? It's almost like COVID precautions slow the spread of other airborne diseases as well...

It's like saying STDs/STIs are dramtically lower the last two years (they are for obvious reasons, less dates, less sex with people you don't already live with, etc...) and then claiming that hospitals are charging STD treatments as COVID billing.....

There are some obvious changes in transmissions of various injuries and illness as a result of societal changes, not every disease that gets lower is because the hospitals are invoicing it as a COVID treatment....

So let me get this straight. A simple mask and social distancing have almost totally wiped out the flu, yet seems to have almost no effect on the spread of covid. How could that be? Covid it is just another form of the flu, if the miraculous masks and social distancing stop the flu in its tracks it should have stopped covid in it's tracks. But it didn't! So what is the OBVIOUS explanation?

Flu deaths especially among the elderly are being reported as covid deaths!




DUH!!!

That's like saying there are less trauma deaths (car accidents) so there is a conspiracy to change car accidents into covid invoices.... Instead of the obvious (less people commuting, less people going out for fun, so driving less, etc....)

If this can stop the flu in its tracks, why did it
not stop covid in its tracks? None of it makes
logical sense. All these masks and all these precautions
and all these people getting together less
stopped the flu almost completely. Why oh why oh
why did it not stop covid which is just another form
of the flu. Because obviously it did not stop the flu,
the flu virus got UNDER reported and the covid
virus got OVER reported. That is the only logical explanation.

It's not just opportunity, the Delta virus is as infective as Chicken Pox. That's like 5 times the transmission rate of the flu or common cold. It's like the difference between trying to dodge 1 dodgeball vs 5 dodgeballs thrown at you.

Does not matter if it's 10 times more. People are claiming masks and social distancing stop the flu almost completely from spreading. If that's true, and it obviously is not, it should have stopped most of covid even the delta variant. If masks stopped 50% of the flu, then I could see if not stopping covid. But it did not, the flu is down 95%. Covid should be down by an equal huge number and it's not. Because flu deaths are being reported as covid deaths and why wouldn't they be, hospitals make out big-time for covid patients they don't get squat for flu patients.

Of course it matters. Maybe you haven't noticed, but the mask and distancing is not being done perfectly. And never has been since the beginning.

Here is dr. fucci woochi, the leading expert on infectious diseases, in 2019 again downplaying the role of masks in protecting yourself against infectious diseases. He calls wearing a mask 'paranoid' and he list the things that actually work. He did this again in March of 2020 saying that wearing a mask is almost worthless. Of course he changes his tune because the public had to be told something and wearing a mask actually feels like you're doing something proactive. Now we are supposed to believe that masks are so miraculous that they almost eradicated the flu last year. This whole thing stinks to high heaven.

A breakthrough, you are starting to understand. Of course it wasn't done perfectly, it was done haphazardly and poorly. Yet we are supposed to believe it wiped out 95% of the flu. Of course it did not, obviously. Flu deaths were reported as covid-19 deaths. Obviously
