Weak, uneducated answer from someone that knows nothing about science.

Yes......it just stops. Yeah, if New York and Louisiana just opened everything up to completely normal, no masks, put 100,000 in Tiger Stadium, etc. then everything would be just the same because Corona has decided to stop now.

I know none of you believe this stuff. You just want it to be that way. Talk about sky screamers. Reminding me of Hillary’s crew.

That means an estimated 300 old fart season ticket holder's, that leave the game at halftime, seats will be up for grabs in about a month after.

I’m trying to figure out if it’s always been this way. The lack of critical thought among such a seemingly large portion of the population..

The ability to say “hey, maybe there’s reality, which we have to deal with.... vs. some shite I’d like to believe and read on the internet somewhere.”

Echo chambers like this intensify the problem, certainly. Along with a trolling president but he’s more a symptom than the problem.

It is incredible that so many people are able to make this claim with absolutely no sense of irony.

Ahh, of course, makes sense that it would finally burn itself out 2-3 weeks after the mask mandate began.


JBE issued the mask mandate when we already knew the cases had peaked. We could see at the time the cases were about to peak.


We called this perfectly as soon as he issued the mandate.

Like I said before they timed their mask mandate perfectly when they knew the numbers were going to drop anyway. I don’t have a problem with masks and I wear one myself but there is little evidence this plateauing has anything to do with masks.

All of this from the guy that, again, believes corona magically decides to start allowing itself to be stopped by cloth masks once 20% of people in an area get infected.

Literally no one except for you is arguing covid magically decides to stop doing something because of a certain threshold being reached.

I am not sure how “fear mongerer” makes sense when I am pushing for more things to be open.

I advocate for surgical masks, not cloth masks.

Still won’t answer the question of whether everything would be the same if New York and Louisiana went full tilt right now huh?

Another hint....,.when all you do is name call and put up laughing emojis, you don’t have an argument.

No, 20 percent isn’t a magical number. It is just at starting around then you start seeing the benefit of those infected as another barrier. Now you have more of a population that is infected to add with people spread out which keeps the virus from getting as much to uninfected people.

Yes, if people consistently spread out enough you wouldn’t even need masks.

Fear mongering is the only appropriate term for people that intentionally post lies and misinformation that supports that bullshite mandates with no scientific backing that are currently in place.

No one gives a shite what you advocate for. The mandates allow for cloth masks and that’s what the majority of people use.

Still won’t answer your why you think covid magically decides to let itself to begin getting stopped by cloth masks when 20% of an area gets infected huh?

2 conclusive hints:

1. You gave up the moral high ground position when you started name calling me and accusing me of RA’ing in your failure of a thread the other day.

2. Retards and fear mongerers aren’t worthy of well thought out responses. You happen to be both, so you get what you’re worth.

They believe masking has dropped the infection rate.


The timing of the drop in cases/deaths/positive rate/vents fits right into their belief system for this. It sucks, but they're going to hang onto this like white on rice.

This has been the problem all along. They're basing everything on "feels." Base it on the facts, move forward and let's end this already.

And yet you keep saying masks dont work until that number is achieved.

It’s almost like numerous credible scientists were calling for a 20% herd immunity threshold for a long time now, before mask mandates were even a thing. Imagine that.

And yet you continue posting lies and misinformation in favor of their continued use.

I explained about the “20 percent” in the next post. So sensitive that I said you RA’ed a post. You said you didn’t so fine. I hope that will not continue to bother you one of these days.

No. You explained why the scientists predicting herd immunity around 20% appear to be correct. That post has nothing to do with masks. Imagine that.

Almost as sensitive as you are about being correctly identified as a fear mongerer.

I hope you will stop posting lies and misinformation to continue your fear mongering campaign one of these days.

So there, you answered my question. You believe that if New York and Louisiana opened full tilt right now the numbers would be the same right now because of true herd immunity.

Foolishness.

Add in my spacing (and masks because people won’t spread out enough) and then you have population immunity.

I can’t help it if you don’t understand this difference.

Aww, look at you attempting to be intelligent. So cute.

Prove that’s incorrect then.

I know this is going to be difficult for you to understand, but herd immunity happens without any other protective measures. Herd immunity with masks and social distancing is not herd immunity.

And again, the guy that thinks covid magically decides to let itself be stopped by cloth masks only when 20% of the population gets infected thinks he is intellectually superior.

Didn't somebody mention that science was the important thing to use to combat this earlier?
There is a vast difference between running a policy on "feels" and running one on science.
