Well, 1 guy in particular thinks he won an election ?

Then explain how new Zealand and Australia are basically covid free. Your argument is so far off the mark. They have done the right thing. The problem here is people like you that really have no clue. The science is not inconclusive nor wrong. Those 2 countries are PROOF that it works. But we have such selfish people who refuse to believe. Their attitude is nobody is going to tell me to wear a mask or keep away. So only option is shut it down.

I really don't expect you to explain the New Zealand or Australia thing because it is counter to everything you think you know. But whatever.

We have the ppl and culture we have
For good Or bad

lock downs in this country were doomed to failure before they even started

first off they were done improperly , with far far too many establishments allowed to be open while others shuttered
Secondly like I’ve said from the get go the ppl of this country simply aren’t geared to be locked down for something which so low a death rate amongst the majority of ppl

so we’ve hurt the economy severely for a strategy that was doomed to fail in this country this isn’t New Zealand or australia

You guys enjoy living under your rocks
Hiding in your deer stands , kayaks
Riding in your cars with your masks on

Take some potion stick it into your arms
And pray long term you don’t turn purple or have your ears fall off
Because some orderly took the viles out too many times or 5 minutes too early
Or that the studies simply weren’t long term enough

you listen to your experts and ill listen to mine and temper that with real life out in the street daily experience
Happy new year too all
2021 by june we will all be hoping for a better 2022

Definitely enjoyed hiding in my 2020 deerstand getting a buck after striking out in 2019, catching more keepers off my yak in 2010 than in the past two years combined, but i never drive or go for walks with a mask on lol. Over 12 months my assets are up 10%. Just watching twilight zone and waiting for the eventual potion shot in the arm.

ahhh, and for another example of successful no mask while social distancing, for the first time I finally caught more than a single keeper surfcasting off my town's ocean beach this season.

"Orderly?" Man you are out of touch with reality. An orderly (not sure ANY hospital uses that term anymore but thats for another debate)would not be touching the vials but whatever you need to say to yourself.

Just curious who are " your experts" ?

I listen to the same news sources you do
And while you only seem to here one side of the debate I hear both
And I realize I don’t work in the medicine community I have a wide range of contacts outside this wonderful venue in medicine , and the sciences
And you can believe me
They don’t all agree with you
But all that aside

I take all that information and even what ai gather hear add it to my own personal experience being out and about every day since the beginning
Then weigh all that against the consequences being felt throughout the economy and then decide how I’m going act and order my life
You should try it , it’s do much better than
Saying I’m sugar coating my shit sammi
By saying I love it alone under my rock
Because your scared to death to live your life and so afraid your neighbors are going to call you a bad name if your mask slips off

Your opinion of what people who don't agree with you is astonishing. Never did i say I need to live alone under a rock alone. I really dont think anyone thinks like that. That is your preconceived belief and it is you that should open your mind. I'm also not scared to death to live my life nor could I give a shit what my neighbors think of me.

What you cant seem to understand is we think small things like wearing a mask, social distancing and keeping gatherings small is not a difficult thing for everyone to do for EVERYONE. You should try and think beyond your selfish self. Doing this would decrease the chances of a shutdown. I'm sure nobody wants a shutdown.

You clearly don't listen to the same sources I do. You are like that child that asks 10 people the same question and when the last person ...the only person that has the answer he likes runs with it and says so and so said so. When the reality is the other 90% don't agree.

I take all that information and even what ai gather hear add it to my own personal experience being out and about every day since the beginning

You do realize that people smarter than you and I have done exactly that and concluded that masks, social distancing and limiting large gatherings work. If your statement were actually true you wouldn't think the way you do.

[USER=122]@Dx life Rx fishing[/USER] and I live masked, have a "Monk-like" dedication to hand washing and stay socially-distanced under a continent-sized rock with millions of other health professionals, virologists, other bioscientists, and other folk who care to get all the facts and data.

My particular corner of the rock came with a view of the water, fundrf by doing science on nasties like HIV, Hep A, Hep B, Hep C, etc., and now my boat is being fueled by COVID-19 consulting. It's good to be under the rock!!

Good Morning from Roccus’ Office Under The Rock...

You got room for one more?

*A large percentage of front-line workers in hospitals and nursing homes have refused to take the Covid-19 vaccine, a hurdle for public health officials as the country struggles to roll out inoculations around the country.

Friend of mine is FDNY. He said 75% of them will NOT be taking it.

I find it odd that instead of administering the second dose they are now giving those as first doses to certain individuals.

I find it even odder at the low dispersal rate in NY. Figured Cuomo would have made sure that it’s fast tracked.

A freind's daughter is a nurse in Maryland. Many of the child bearing age group of nurses (and probably doctors) are declining vaccination as it has been shown in at least one study to adversely impact getting pregnant or possibly damaging the placenta. The older nurses are getting the shot, as my bride and I eventually will.
