ONLY for 100 days! That's it! But people refused to do it for political reasons and that's why we're still in this pandemic and need to wear a mask forever.

These variants are particularly good at evading our "immunity."

So don't throw away your mask stockpile quite yet.
And now talk about how weak BA4 and BA5 are

If we gave numbers to every cold variant we get, it would be the same thing

Everyone in New York City listened and New York has the worst infection rate.

So just keep on obeying. I won't.

Live you life already. Jeez.

I'm not in any pandemic and I don't wear a mask. So there's that.

Have fun wearing a hazmat suit and a bullet-proof vest for the rest of your life.

I will not comply!

2 weeks to slow the spread

People took this way more seriously in 2020
Even states like Florida shut down early on
Vegas was closed for months

You actually think if everyone wore masks for 100 days a year later this would be over?

It's never going away!
But it's going to get milder and milder.


As an aside always be leery of people spouting off round numbers as though they have any significance

100 days was based in what exactly? Why not 98 days or 102 days?

The other good one was some July 4th cutoff to hit some vaccine threshold so we could declare "independence" from covid

Give me a break

And btw I doubt Biden remembers saying that and why do you care about what any politician says about anything ever?It's just noise.

Exactly

Early on we were told hospitalization numbers but they don't do that anymore bc hospitalizations are way down

Total number of covid cases doesn't mean anything in a vacuum bc different strains have been very different from each other


If somehow we get a variant that threatens overwhelming hospitals then we have a problem
But that's not happening and is extremely unlikely to happen at this point


If the original covid was as mild as 2022 covid we wouldn't have shut down for one day and nobody would have been worried about it at all.

Don't forget about 6 feet social distancing. Where did they come up with 6 feet? It has been determined that the so-called "experts" just PLUCKED THAT NUMBER OUT OF THIN AIR!

This whole COVID nonsense has been blown way, way, WAY out of proportion.

People are STILL listening to the so-called "experts," the same people who just MADE UP most of these "rules and regulations."

It's a fascinating study in human sheeplike behavior. It is TRULY amazing.
