I don't see much reason for kids to still be wearing masks, or anyone for that matter.


There never was. Teacher & school board unions pushed this. If anything, masks did more damage than good, especially to the little ones.

I keep asking the Chinese Flu True Believers if they put on a new mask or sterilize their one mask each and every time they don one. If not, why are they placing a pathogen infested rag over their mouth and nose? If the mask isn't pathogen infested from its prior use, why the need for a mask?

I always get the same thing: no responses but DVs from the True Believers too ashamed to admit openly they've been made a fool of.

Maybe they are a little biased in their reporting.


Or maybe masking kids is simply stupid and you just don't want to admit to falling for stupid things.

I would be willing to bet this happens very, very rarely.

They've been duped. Herded like cattle.

Same idiots that wore one pair of disposable gloves around the entire store and didn’t take them off til they got in their car. Or wore them the entire way home.

Same idiots that think they have to wear a mask when they are driving alone in their own car.

Same idiots that think wrapping a ATM card reader in the same piece of plastic for a week is “protecting” them.

So cases? We’re talking cases now? What’s the data for children on hospitalizations and fatalities? Still negligible ehh? That’s what i figured.

Context is king. Link to the data? If there were 100X as many districts/schools without mandates, then more cases would be expected from that group. This is most definitely a skewed presentation, so let's see the actual data. Case rate per 100 students and % decreases from a baseline can be apt comparisons. Case counts need context.

Florida is basically at herd immunity now.

LINK estimates about 2/3 of the population in Florida has encountered the virus. Cases are bottoming out because there's not really anywhere else for it to go. There will still be a few cases that get caught but it's a respiratory virus, it's always going to be around in some form.

This forum drags the TV doctors (rightly so) but Gottleib was on TV three months ago telling people that the Delta wave is going to be the last big covid surge in this country because nearly everyone will have had it in some form by the time it burns out.

So you're refutation of one source due to political bias, is to post another source with political bias?

Maybe look at the actual statistics, dipshit. Why do you leftists demand to be masked and dominated?

Looks like the whole South is at herd immunity. I wonder what the narrative will be around Christmas time when covid is almost nonexistent.

I want to take the time to urge everyone to stop wearing masks, especially in Louisiana, if you don't want to wear one. I have completely stopped wearing them since the spring, and now more than ever, no one cares. Companies won't harrass you anymore about a mask. I've gone to dentists, no mask. I've gone to every large store in BR, restaurants, grocery store, no mask. Even the left wing hub of Starbucks...no mask, and no one cares. Stop wearing them. Governor Roberto has no power if you don't obey.

Lol NPR did an article on testing diff types of masks.

They used a scarf made of the most breathable wool just to say, Trump was wrong that a scarf could be sufficient.

Yeah, no bias there.

Good god man.

Exactly, in the south we all spent the summer inside trying not to die of heat stroke. When the northerners spend all winter inside trying not to freeze they will have their real delta wave just like last winter.
