We've all been there.

There net, you feel better?
If you're gonna respond to the troll like that, at least learn how to use the quote function. And if you say you don't want to quote the troll, what's the difference between just cutting and pasting everything he said?
Again, just don't. Put him on ignore. You, and we, will feel much better. He isn't worth the time.

It's interesting that people still hold on to perfection, otherwise it's worthless.
Nobody said that masks stop all viruses, but they very much do reduce the amount that gets through. Viruses stay with the drops that come out of your mouth, and thus stick to the mask on the way out. And on the way in, there's a combination of drop encapsulation and static electricity that reduces the amount of viruses that make it into your body. Again, once people figured out what needed to be filtered, it's not hard to come up with masks that work. Yes, some coverings are less effective than others- but even 30% reduction is better than nothing- and could easily lead to a high enough reduction to prevent infection.
One virus cell isn't going to infect you. It takes thousands. And if you can prevent that, there you go. There's plenty of data out there that clearly shows that.
Combine that with keeping your distance is a clear improvement in means to prevent spread.
And preventing spread keeps people alive.
It's too bad that we did not keep the virus out of nursing homes, as we surely could have. Preventing all of those deaths. We CHOSE to not act. This administration took apart the system in place to reduce the impact on viruses like this. And now we are dealing with that- seeing over a hundred thousand American citizens die when they didn't have to. It's amazing that we pretend that there was nothing we could do- even after we already knew what to do. Heck, most of the actions were talked about on this board back early on. Yet we chose to not do anything.
Test, track, isolate, test, track, isolate, and the virus spread could have (and still can be) prevented. It's not hard. And it certainly would have had a MUCH more minor impact on the economy. No question about that. How people think this was unavoidable- where we are now- I just don't understand that.

Please explain why, "you don't take a death rate and apply it to the entire population?". That's EXACTLY what you do. At least, that's what intelligent people do. So please, provide in detail your reasoning why you/we shouldn't apply the fatality rate to the entire population. This ought to be enlightening?
IFR infection fertility rate.
Holy Sh*t and you are trying to paint me as the stupid one? First you aren’t quoting me but you are copying and pasting everything? Lmao
You take the IFR and put it against the number of people that have had a disease not against the entire population. It was laid out right in the post. Jeeze man
simple example if a population was 1000 people, 100 people got the disease and the IFR rate was 1%.
The expected deaths would be at .01 x 100 (those with the disease). So one death for every 100 people that get sick.
Not 1% of the entire population dying.

You're doing a pretty good job of that yourself. No need for him to assist.

The Texas and Florida governors' mansions should be fumigated with the Rona. Maybe then they'll realize what complete fcking careless morons they've been.
Yeah, no not at all.
Masks are stoping the aerosol particles at all. Masks have proved over and over to not help the spread of respiratory illnesses.
wearing a silly little mask around is nothing more than a symbol.

Again dipshit...if masks are so useless...why do we bother covering our coughs or sneezes at all?
Nothing that people are using is an all or nothing proposition. They work together.
Course just not for the science deniers.

Getting distributed over the last TWO weeks, now. 5 days over 100, and more closing in on it.
But we should ignore the mask data due to "common sense" and open back up to "stop the panic" (BTW- who is actually panicking? I've never actually figured that out...).
On a side note, it's nice to reflect all the things we've done in life to live it to the fullest, and make plans when we are going to make up for lost time. Having gotten around a lot, I'm fine with taking a break.

Hug someone you care about...
If panicking is going for a 4 mile walk every day, reading, bbqing, smoking a cigar and exercising every night then I have been panicking since April!
The moron thinks people being concerned cause people are dying is panicking. Since he is a pathetic troll who obviously lives by himself and has no one in his life that cares for him and vice versa he doesnt understand why anyone pays attention. I am sure that is just an amazing coincidence that he sounds and acts just like Flaggy did...

You know someone has gotten through to Dump that his re-election odds are low when in the past week he demotes his campaign manager, finally cancels the Jacksonville convention, and grudgingly poses for a photo op wearing a mask.
The mask will catch a snot rocket no doubt.
For the billions or trillions of breaths a day around the country. No

So they will work for something. Good to know. Wear the damn mask.
