    if social distancing is not mandated and enforced, it is not being done.

    same as the mask mandates. those of you who assured us that mandates were not necessary, that americans can be trusted to do the right thing are wrong.

    Who assured you that Americans would do the right thing? It seems to me that if we dont have the right to be wrong then we dont have any rights at all...

    Would these be the ones that have the disclaimer on the box that it provides no protection against covid-19?

    If it's not an n 95 is it really better than cloth?

    ~ Good point . :aww:

    ~ In the fact that masks give some a false sense of protection they are actually dangerous - not to mention the psychological factor of hiding our face. Skewing the facts and not being honest only shows the obvious manner in which government consistently treats it's citizens as dumbed-down objects . :blankstare:

    ~ If that is the case some should not be allowed to vote ! I wonder who ..? :wierdface:'

    Since the flu is as damaging to a person as Omicron, does the flu scare you as much as Omicron?:roflol:

    do masks need "for the protection against disease only" labels?

    as for who should not be allowed to vote, if you think you have some kind of right to spread disease, perhaps it is you.

    Yes .. which is not very much .. as I am not in Group B (comorb - pneumonia susceptible- Obese) .. thinking you must have misread post.

    Flue/Influenza-Pneumonia kills on average 20 per 100,000 per year. Running the numbers for my region - Deaths from Covid have been 60% higher .. which takes us to 32 per 100,000.

    Now while this is not good -- "A BAD FLUE" .. it is not exactly the Plague .. Sure hospitals are stressed .. as they are normally running 80%-100% capacity during Flue-Season .. and increase of 60% obviously will overload.

    Omicron is a joke by comparision .. to either the Old Covid .. or the Normal Flue.. Ridiculously low death rate .. but, even with Old Covid the death rate for people not in Group B was extremely low. .. such that with "Delta" for example .. the risk of harm/Death from the vax is higher than the disease.

    I've been saying for over a year that this is more about control than anything else. The left seemed perfectly fine with forcing people to wear masks, any mask will do, as long as they can force you to wear one, even as their very own stats showed that the kinds of masks that most people wear are only about 10% effective - but masks work and if you wear one you are compliant with their demands, even as masked people spread the virus.

    Don't know about a disclaimer as I get them individually from the hospital and not in a box, but yes definitely. The regular surgical masks, that healthcare workers routinely wear at work everyday, are better than cloth, not as good as N95, but way more tolerable than N95. I've worn an N95 for 9 hours straight before, but I still hate them much more than regular surgical masks.

    Well, the person making that comment is a doctor aka medical professional, so its not that CNN is just making stuff up. There is an agreement among the medical community that Omicron is far more contagious than other variants, and its also common knowledge (for a long time now) that regular mask will not protect you from the virus, but instead reduces the transmission of the virus from you to others. If everyone in a room wore one, there the risk of transmission between people would be greatly reduced.

    Infowars.......:D

    What is a given is getting vaccinated. If you don't take that as a given, you have no argument to stand on.
    Oh, no social distancing was relaxed when we hit a plateau on vaccinations but since about 40% of the country is unable to understand that and different variants are here and more will come because of it, social distancing is back. Again, this stuff is really common sense.

    Here is the lady's very own twitter page covering the very topic in the OP... cloth masks are just decoration, you need the better high quality masks ........ ff 30 seconds

    Good for you......but you're completely wrong. Control to do what? For what purpose? What's the end game?
    Not wearing masks is 0% effective and is sure to spread the virus so what's your point? What percentage would tip you over to being smart?

    Do you think anything you have in your posts prove anything? Have you seen New Year's Eve in Times Square? People are packed together which has been the point about what masks to wear all along.
