It would be over now if you shitheads had worn masks from the start.

Stop silly testing. What would you do differently than in previous years? Nothing. If somebody's sick (fever, cough, etc), send 'em home.

In my town, no new cv19 cases last 10 days. They used to be 5+ a day at a minimum.

All of this covic nonsense will end after the election.

masks are the placeholder for the really cool people who will get in line for a rushed to market rna vaccine which will transmute those individuals into designer virus pin cushions 4-7 times a year.

Don’t get tested = pandemic goes away

Mask mandates are justified by people's implicit consent, as all government is.

This! A thousand times, this!

Everyone in the world can test positive but if no one dies it isn't dangerous. The number of cases means fuck all, they need to only focus on death toll. This virus is complete shit and we need to let them know masks are not going to become part of every day life.

I don't understand why more people can't see this mechanism but really appreciate all the nods and smiles I get when ignoring someone's rule/mandate/policy. It's NOT law MFers!

This is important. The media loves to switch between various figures. There are lots to choose from: number of COVID cases, number of COVID deaths, number of COVID tests that yield a positive (including false positives), number of reported COVID deaths (including all the ones misreported). They also like to report deltas, and deltas of deltas (percent increase, especially misleading if it's on a small time scale where there is great variation, e.g. daily figures).

There should be a threshold where if 'x' percentile of tests show to be false, the testor is either fired, charged with negligence, or both.
