I honestly think the WHO is the only one that has given information that wasn’t politically driven. And as such, I would trust them over the biased media and health experts.

It’s is over for almost everyone except for a select few. But you do what you need to do. Mask up if you want, sit in your basement, avoid crowds etc. But don’t try to force others into that non sense!

Where are you guys getting the idea that wearing mask is the same thing as living in a basement?? All I said was wear a mask; that’s it. Didn’t think it was that much trouble to do.

This is just trolling at this point. The poster just keeps moving the goalposts and denies what he previously wrote.
Time to end it.
If you and your parents want to wear a mask wear one. If you want to stay away from people, do it.
Problem solved.
No need for further dialogue on the issue.

1000% a troll from the beginning. Don't feed it.

You guys are not understanding my point. Me being the ONLY one taking precautions accomplishes NOTHING. Everyone taking precautions by wearing a mask will end this excruciatingly long pandemic.

Ok, so I've said it for the millionth time. If all of you are still going to ignore my points and deny everything I've said, then fine. Nothing much else I can do. I give up!

My friend, it is IMPOSSIBLE to talk about Covid and be in 100% agreement. This has been a political and divided subject from the beginning, when it shouldn't have been. Just because people are not in 100% agreement does not mean a someone is a troll. I could literally wave your "It's over, no more masks" flag and will STILL be labelled a troll because there will still be people who will disagree with that stance.

Please be accepting of the fact that we just don't agree on the matter and stop assuming people are posting just to troll. By doing that, you are putting ideas in the moderators' heads and setting me up to get banned, which is not fair because I'm simply just stating my opinion on the subject.


But whatever, I will accept that you will do you and I do me. But doing that is exactly why we have to "live with Covid forever." Without everyone doing things uniformly, Covid will be around forever, for sure.

Exactly. If you are the only one wearing the mask it will do nothing. Actually, if we all did, it still accomplishes nothing. Its like the vegan nuts. Me stopping eating meat will do nothing. The rest of the world will still eat their bloody steaks and love it. No point. Move on and live your life. You cannot control the rest of the world.
