Being wrong about everything. Masks, lockdowns, schools, etc.  There are still mask mandates on airplanes, which has some of the cleanest air. There might have been 10% science in the whole pandemic, and 90% politics. 

Guess it depends on your perspective. I've thought my local officials in Delaware County,  have gotten it mostly right and taken  prudent measures. 

I'm with you school closing and masks have been wrong, but to make a blanket statement about everything seems a stretch. 

No one side is 100% right or wrong. That's not how life is.

More wrong then right.  That’s why we are still dealing with this 2+ years later.  The idea that government officials can eliminate the use of therapeutics through mandates is the perfect example.  That’s not “science” ,  it’s political.

So there will be no admission that there is no such thing as 'settled science'?  

Nor will there be any real investigation into the virus escaping from the lab and related coverup.

So news report today......if you get a COVID test and test positive you will be given anti viral therapuetic before you leave.

GTFOH, after 2 years we have finally made a medical decision that would benefit the patient?  The people in charge of the nations Covid response are criminals and likely killed thousands

They’re still going with this…

Yesterday only 300 new cases in Ohio and now they are going to stop daily tallies and only do a weekly tally each Thursday

CDC lowered their official Covid death numbers by 70k. Moving total death numbers of under 17 to below 1k. And that number still doesn’t differentiate between died of or died with. Makes everything done by the government and unions to harm kids even worse. 

** Correction with updated numbers. The CDC may have removed closer to 70k deaths. Difficult to tell exacts as prior data has been removed. pic.twitter.com/zqoH1Wa1q4

These losers, who are always democrats, still exist. Wow.

My husband wants us to go out to dinner with his friend and his wife, who are both anti-vaxxers.

I told him I am not comfortable doing that because they did not get the Covid vaccine.

Do YOU feel comfortable being around people you know who have NOT been vaccinated?

I wonder how many divorces this has caused.

Stupid Fox News, I clicked it so I could find a link to the actual study, yet they don't even do that.

Found it, interesting table of information.

The CDC needs to get out of the mandate game for travel.  Leave it to the airlines.  I would not be all that upset if the airlines kept it, just because.

Back to 15 days to flatten to curve .................. LOL

Passengers will be required to wear masks on airplanes and other forms of transportation for another 15 days as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looks to evaluate whether rising Covid-19 case numbers will lead to more hospitalizations, according to industry and government sources.21 mins ago

Why would the airlines keep it? It’s nonsense. 

Yeah.  The filtration level is basically the same as a hospital - air gets cycled & filtered something like every 3-4 minutes.  That's probably better than wearing a mask sitting next to someone at the theatre for 2 hours.

I don't get sick, so I try to avoid falling into the trap of "well, it prevents other illnesses, as well".  And it SUCKS wearing a mask for 8+ hours doing a west coast trip.

Masks on planes still don't bother me. 

I've gotten sick after flying several times, pre and during COVID. So yeah, in the end...they seem pointless.
