Dallas County back under mask mandate

[Tom_100]

Not just tyrants. A lot of folks are happy with lockdowns and don’t want to go back to normal. Not just introverts. They will pretend to be mad at folks not vaccinating but at the same time are vaccinated and wear a mask and face shield in their car alone.

When the World Economic Forum says “you’ll own nothing and be happy” they are referring to these folks.

Things aren't going back to "normal" in our industry, anyway. It's illogical to expect them to.

All my direct reports are 100% telecommute now. No plans on changing. They closed the offices they were in late last year. Our company is loving the cost savings.

I think the person they quoted who lives near the Obamas summarized it best...

'This has really been overblown, they're following all the safety precautions, people are going to sporting events that are bigger than this, this is going to be safe, this is a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd and this is just about optics it's not about safety,'

Wow...I guess it's ok not to follow your own rules when you are sophisticated. Rules are for the peasants. Let them eat cake. Disgusting elitist hypocrites

Yeah, no one thinks that. Sex and gender are two different things but you know that.

So what exactly is the definition of female and male. Please explain in detail since it is fluid. Give a specific definition so we can all understand.

Sex is only male and female. Gender is the defined characteristics of each of those sexes.

Any deviation or confusion around any of that is because said individual is fvcked in the head.

It's called gender dysphoria and is a mental illness.

This former Biden advisor is more right than folks want to admit.

IMO, it's quite apparent, given all the data with mask compliance and case rate, that cloth masks just don't work, and paper masks are worse.

We know COVID pre-delta can survive in aerosol droplets as small as 8 microns a while. That cloth mask you wear, the smallest hole is 80 microns, if fitted tight. The "surgical" masks have giant holes on the sides, nose, and bottom, so when you talk, breathe, or sneeze, it shoots out all those sides, the mask doesn't magically absorb it. The surgical ones act like an open fire hydrant and cloth masks simply further aerosol it. For cloth masks, it's like taking a hose to a chain-link fence claiming the water isn't getting to the other side.

I believe the mandates are just to make people think they are doing something, that the government is doing something. Just a safety blanket. Nothing more.

But let's say they do work, then masking vaccinated people makes zero sense. Aside from the J&J, the vaccines only protect against one spike protein. This is why the head if the CDC in Feb-April was fighting the administration asking vaccinated to still mask, she went on CNN complaining about it, saying not just you are taking away the carrot, but you are stopping vaccinated people from developing full immunity to COVID via exposure. This way we see what we are seeing now, but to a lesser degree, vaccinated people by a large proportion (99.9%) either being asymptomatic or have mild symptoms for 1-2 days. Very few breakthrough cases. Breakthrough meaning severe not any case. They get antibodies for the four main spike proteins and develop a strong t-cell response.

Masking vaccinated people (if you believe it works) makes the vaccine ineffective as the first mutation against that one protein is going to go nuts and be a repeat of Fall/Winter 2020 as nobody would be immune to it. The CDC knew this, but the months idiots kept saying vaccinated still had to wear masks would do nothing but prolong the epidemic.

So in the end, even if you believe masks work, they are counterproductive to the end goal here, getting this to an endemic disease.

This is old news to anyone who watches more than cnn, MSNBC or other left wing news sites.

Good piece here in the WSJ about why you’re more likely to get covid from someone who’s fully vaccinated than someone who was previously infected.
