Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 1988 | Deaths are down to three per week in NYC. (Pop. 9 million) No details on how many of the deaths are 'with covid' as opposed to 'due to covid'. BA.2 strain is so last week. Newest strain is the faster spreading XE. |

People leaving Florida are probably much smarter than those of us who live in Florida. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I viewed the "wear a mask" requirement as a good faith, well-intentioned effort by the government to protect the population. The notion espoused by some of you birds that it is all about the gov't wanting to "control" us is a laughable conspiracy theory, parroted by the same sort of intellectual "thinkers" who still claim Trump won the election. It is a thoroughly politicized issue now thanks to the boo-birds on the right. |

See, you don't even know you're a sheeple with your acting independently of the government position. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

The govt had absolutely nothing to do with my decision to wear a mask. The govt is the last place I go to for medical advice. I simply do not listen to the govt regarding any decision I make regarding my health. It's all politicians in the govt. I listen to the medical community and Soopoo regarding all decisions I make regarding my health Regarding my health, Soopoo has more influence then anybody in the govt.

It seems that mask wearing is not the best means of measuring the end of COVID. Reported deaths in the US in the previous 7 days 373 April 23, 2022 726 April 22, 2021 2232 April 23, 2020 223 July 8, 2021 lowest rate since COVD began Basically scientists say the viruses never completely go away. There were traces of the 1918 virus eighty years later. But it looks as if the death rate will go even lower this summer than last summer, so hopefully it won't resurge as much in the next winter. |
