    If you are going to be so paranoid and feel like your vaccine won't work for you but somehow it will for me, how about you stay home?

    Correct.

    Correct, but his handlers are NOT incompetent. His handlers are purposely doing this (and many other things) to destroy the States of America and turn them into a Venezuelan shithole. Destruction must first occur in order to "6uild 6ack 6etter" from it. What you are witnessing right now is that very destruction. This is a globalist agenda. It is tied to the "climate change" agenda. It is tied to the Church of Karl Marx.

    No, it's not. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the economic condition of the country.

    Racism is a logical fallacy. Specifically, it is a compositional error fallacy whereby people are the class and a genetic trait (such as skin color) is the property.

    That's a good part of why I suggested a "no pressure" approach to masking. If people see wearing a superior mask is their choice, I suspect they'll use them when mitigating risk.

    What we need is a better mask. If this pandemic causes that to be invented it will be a major silver lining

    Agreed. The mask my wife and I wear doesn't pass the fashion test.

    And a nation's economic condition is a direct reflection of its citizens, in combination with peripheral concerns, like workforce education, natural resources, manufacturing capacity and capability, healthcare system(s), etc., etc. "Shithole" countries can have a number of problems and deficiencies based on those peripheral concerns, but, generally speaking, "Shithole" countries are the way they are because they have "Shithole" citizens....

    Fortunately, ALL of those factors can be positively corrected with enough effort and determination on the part OF those same citizens!

    As far as being breeding-grounds for pandemic diseases, though, some of these countries are so far gone that help must come from other countries -- like the 'rich' ones in the "First World". Otherwise, the stability and health of all humanity is constantly threatened....

    ... who elect (or allow the fraudulent installation of) government officials whose policies cause the economic conditions within the nation they are governing over.

    Not shithole citizens... politically ignorant/indifferent/uninformed/etc citizens.

    Correct.

    Too bad liberals around the world are turning EVERY country into a shithole. There will eventually be no rich countries left under such policies. Thankfully, Christ will return before then.

    I see--trying to end the pandemic so we don't have a nasty recession, or having to continue spending trillions to stave it off is "paranoid." :roll:
    "Feel?" I don't "feel" about science. The vaccines are safe and effective.
    It's not about you.
    So far, you win. You can spread covid as you see fit. You and your type can wreck the economy and create a national crisis. :puke: :puke:

    Who is "the left" you're talking about? Democrats? Liberals? Communists? Antifa? Black Lives Matter?

    Do you think Antifa and BLM give a rat's ass about people taking a cruise?
    An absurd claim.

    I haven't gotten sick since it started two years ago. I am just smart about it. I know several vaccinated who aren't careful and have gotten sick and spread it to others.

    The economy isn't destroyed by the unvaccinated. It's destroyed by democrats having an inappropriate and over the top response to people being unvaccinated or getting sick.

    Unvaccinated who limit their contacts are also doing their part to cut the number of new cases, the metric that makes people limit going to "places with faces." It might be worth noting that vaccine passports also limit folks attending "places with faces." A restaurant loses because of vaccine passports and people staying away because of covid. What difference does it make to the restaurant? You lose either way.

    The only thing that actually works is limiting the spread. If we get effective treatments, we may be able to have people change their perception of the risk.
    The economy is going to be in big trouble if we stop handing out free money while covid runs amok.

    Who wants to go on a cruise if you can't get off the ship because the ports of call are worried about passengers with covid?

    Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands ... are shitholes? Have you ever been to the countries?
    I don't think so.

    Anyone who is serious about getting the pandemic under control has to address the fact that vaccinated people are spreading the virus. In fact, most infections are spread by vaccinated people. That's why it is surging, even in the most highly vaccinated areas, because the vaccinated are spreading the virus. We will never get the pandemic under control until "the left" figure that out. But, they're more interested in spreading misinformation and using the pandemic for political objectives.

    Yes, that is the point. It's always been the point.

    We can't simply 'reinforce' systems that depend on personnel acquiring many years of formal training.

    Those people have always had access to that stuff. They've also had two years to lose weight and work on their Type II diabetes.

    You can lead a horse to water - but you can't make it drink. Why force people to accept something they're declaring - loudly and cleary - that they don't want? Why focus resources on people who don't want anything to do with those resources? It's madness.

    It's realistic in China, and they have over a billion citizens. It works.

    You may not like the parameters, but you cannot argue that it doesn't work.

    Do you know something we don't know?

    When is this expected to happen?

    We did it in New York City. Army and Navy facilities and personnel with years of formal training. We do that all the time when the problem is floods, or tornados or massive fires so it isn't a new concept. There has just been little effort to organize and deploy such groups. Maybe because the horror story hasn't materialized to the degree it would need such action?

    I never mentioned vaccinated/unvaccinated, and those early 'scares' on the healthcare system were just alerts. You have no idea what's happening, I can see that. You can't provide more staff, when the maximum number available are already on deck. You can't train a doctor or nurse in two weeks, or even two months.

    You don't have the socio-political structures which allow for fiat 'reinforcement' as they do in China. You have chosen small Govt, low intervention. You either accept the parameters of a paternalistic Govt (loss of 'freedoms') and get insta-hospitals fully staffed, or you get what you will soon have.

    Omicron has just arrived. This is the real test - this one, and the next one, and the one after that.
