You have yet to tell me which virus you're talking about. Like I told you, you don't know what you're talking about.
The Cold is not a virus, it's a set of symptoms.
For 20-50% of people infected with sars-cov-2, they won't have any symptoms. For another 30-50%, they will have "the Cold", sniffles etc.
Did you know that most people who get the influenza virus only experience Cold like symptoms?
The important fact these control freak, nanny state Leftists purposely leave out is the vast majority of deaths are the very old and already very sick. The restrictions on younger, healthier people are totally unnecessary.

No matter who you are, these restrictions are unethical. Everyone should decide for themselves how their life should pan out, and what they want to do during this pandemic.
I'm (almost) 54, I smoke 1-2 packs a day (but I'm in shape and do marathons etc). Technically, because I'm older and a smoker, I'm "at risk" but I want to live my life.
I work at a hospital and the hospital along with the entire network of hospitals are full of Covid patients. If you are looking outside hospitals and expecting to see dying people lined up outside that's just not realism. If you watch propaganda videos of course that would tell you a different story.
And that illustrates the difference in perspective right there.
A hospital worker would likely be inundated with the stress and frustration of so much suffering and death, and especially, of the comparative helplessness of the medical profession to substantially turn the tide. This goes on for month after month. The horror never abates.
But for a layman without first-hand exposure to the pandemic, deaths are just abstract statistics. If 4000 people are dying daily, or 400, or 40, there just isn't a palpable relevance. Unless people are literally dropping dead in the streets, unless there are festering piles of corpses, unless every other house in the neighborhood has red paint slathered on the front door, indicating pestilence.... unless society has outright collapsed, because the garbagemen all died from covid and the police-officers have all died from covid and the ambulance-drivers have all died of covid and the people who manage the computers who manage the traffic-lights have all died of covid... until and unless that happens, it's just not going to feel real.
So when we hear that unmitigated rampage by the virus might result in 1% or 2% casualty rate, the fact that that's up to 6M people in America - well, that fact simply doesn't register. OK, maybe I'm stupid, but it just doesn't register to me personally. It feels like the fee charged on credit-card purchases. I know that prices are going to be higher by 1% or 1.5% or whatever, if paying by card, instead of by cash. But cards are more convenient than cash, whence I rely on cards. To change one's buying-habits because of a 1% cost-increase, feels silly. Similarly, to change one's living-habits because of a 1% "tax" on the population level, just feels silly. And the exhortation to make such changes in habits, feels like an intrusive and school-marmish imposition... a restriction for restriction's sake.
I don't need a study to have common sense. You seem to confuse me for someone who cares to change your mind. I don't care. I don't care if you put a mask on yourself or not. I just won't, simple as that. And I think, and laugh at, everyone who wears a mask outside.
You're the one who said you read studies, but it seems you were making stuff up. Guess you learned that from Trump. I hope you haven't drunk any disinfectant.
Anyway, you can ignore the sound advice of medical professionals all you want and it doesn't bother me at all. And feel free to laugh all you want, but remember that he who laughs last, laughs best.
Fauci can take a flying leap for all I care! Sick of Dr. Gloom and Doom scaring gullible Americans day in and day out and flop flopping all over the place. In the meantime Americans have lost their jobs, their livelyhoods, kids are missing school and depression is setting in all over the place.
Can someone put a mask with chloroform on Falsy Fauci? Just for a little while. Maybe he'll keep his mouth shut about masks. I doubt it, being he's having the time of his life. He's a stripped down version of a present day Josef Mengele.

But that was science in January. We now have February science. As a result, it's time to reset the count and start with two.... then three masks.... then four.... until eventually we all will look like this...

Hope you realize that the young, healthier population can contract the illness and then pass it on to older folks. That's obviously what has happened in nursing homes and also in communities at large.
