How did we flatten the curve without masks back in April and May?

All but essentials were locked down at home. That isn’t happening anymore.

Do you not remember when everything was shut down?

Let’s not do that again

Yeah, but we were concentrating everyone into a few places.

Millions of people weren’t marching in the streets over the death of a career criminal

Blue states flattened it by sacrificing the most vulnerable.

They don't want to hear that. A few stores, nothing more than giant germ pools from the higher than normal traffic.

They didn't do that everywhere, and I don't think the alleged hot spots were big protest areas.

We didn’t. We are just testing more now and cooking the books a little more.

Well what I wanna know is, if mask work so well why don’t we hand them out to prisoners instead of setting them free? And if they work so well, why don’t we just have all the bars and restaurants and other things open as long as people wear mask?

We were only testing symptomatic pt's that were flu and strep negative, plus RSV/pertussis in kids. And LabCorp was primary lab (they're legit). Then quest and others got involved, rapid tests that have high rates of false positives. and I know Quest does PANSARS as well. Those are all the coronaviruses that have been around forever such as the common cold. If PANSARS + it gets counted as corona. And massive, massive increase in testing of asymptomatic pt's and contact tracing. And probably some frickery.

If the full quarantine worked, why did we see such a big spike in flu about a week into the shutdown. Should've been the end of the flu.

We were so racist back then but since we’ve taken down statues of Fredrick Douglas and Robert the Bruce so while we’ve defeated racism we’ve left ourselves open to the virus....



Just kidding, we thought the riots and death would work better but it didn’t so we had to go back to lockdowns: Sincerely Democrats

I'm not saying the protests didn't spread the frick out of it.

I'm just still trying to (objectively) wrap my mind around the total devotion to masks now v/s then.

I know there was a shortage, but they could have said use anything like they are screaming for now.

It’s as simple as Democrats saying “if you won’t give the country to us we’ll break it and you”
