So can we all agree that Doctors dont know what they are talking about so they should be paid about a quarter of what they are.

Can you tell us what they're doing differently? It should be pretty obvious if it's caused such a significant difference. I do see where they've tested 715k people compared to our nearly 55 million. Pretty stark difference IMO.
People tend to ignore this stuff. I rember when the, we need more tests was a huge thing. And to prove how poorly we were doing a graph of per 100k was shown to me. And in top of that list was Portugal. I just had to point out though at the time, we had tested 14x the amount of people Portugal have tested and that we have tested more people than their entire population.
So explain to me how they are actually doing better with testing?

2100 hospitalizations at peak Covid , 1600 now and there are issues with beds.
This is because “non-life threatening” surgeries were delayed and are now life threatening. Law of unintended consequences and all that jazz

Masks don’t work. It’s government trying to look like the have an answer.

Well the racial disparity in crime is a much more serious problem than covid.

The science for it is actually kind of muddled. It's 100% sure that homemade masks don't do anything but make people feel better. Surgical mask somewhat prevent others from catching it if the wearer is symptomatic, but do not prevent the wearer from catching covid at all. The only effective masks are n95s and even those don't prevent you catching it in your eyes. Whats strange to me is that infection is more likely by touching your face but we are supposed to touch our face twice a day at least to put on maaks. I've already had covid and quarantined when I did, idk why I need to keep wearing the safety blanket. Reinfection is impossible for at least a year if not more. Sars had immunity for 6-7 yearsish.

Literally every governor in every state has said that the only way we beat this virus is by wearing masks.

the basic logic that masks reduce the spread of water droplets/vapor that carry the virus
Show me that’s a significant vector, and how much masks reduce the risk of transmission

Yep. That's a factor.
Why ppl cannot look at the big picture astounds me.

Louisiana is trending with the highest cases per capita in the US. You have to wonder why after looking at these threads.

You don't quarantine healthy folks. You don't impose masks on healthy folks. It's simple really.
