Seriously?

Stepdaughter is ward nurse in the pulmonary covid wing at a major hospital, in case you want a reference.

I've had a lot of surgeries, and everyone was masked up long before covid was an issue.

Did you ever watch MASH, Gray's Anatomy or any TV show in the medical field (trying to bring to something you can relate to).

I served on a state pandemic planning committee.



But can you share what planet you are from where you do not know medical personnel wear masks?

Not the virus, the governments. Humanity is lost now within the confines of restrictive regulations for the health of all citizens of all countries around the globe. Basically, all the world's countries have turned into --- China.

I’ll get the vaccine, throw away the mask and I’m done with COVID.
Might want to consult government laws before throwing away, that mask.

I call BS. Maybe not fully in 2021, but by the end of the year mostly back to normal and by spring 2022 totally back to normal with sports, concerts, street festivals, you name it. People like you can wear masks forever if you want. If you’re calling that a “new normal,” go ahead. The world has been through major worldwide pandemics and guess what. Things went back to normal each time. Good luck.

It’s so fatal you have to be tested to even know if you have it.

And until you’re tested with a verified positive status, you have every right to do whatever the hell you want.

We are living through a major pandemic. I had hoped to live out my life (I'm 65 with Type One diabetes) without doing so, although I did live through several before, including polio. But I face life as it happens, instead of yapping that nothing is wrong.



Pandemics are dangerous not only for the health of people, but for those not infected. Here in Fort Worth, ICU beds are becoming very limited for non-Covid patients. Some areas are literally out of any beds, so the doctors, already under stress, must make 'death panel like' decisions (remember when Death Panels was the thing with Conservatives?). Yet, citizens are still having heart attacks, strokes and having car accidents. But if there are no beds?


Stupid people are always around. We had them during the Spanish Flu of 1918, which started in Kansas. Back then you had 'anti mask' leagues, and other nonsense. Most of them woke up when the flu began to kill thousands per day.



Wait: we now are averaging 3000 per day.



We are surrounded by idiots, claiming that Mr. Trump won an election he lost, yet also claiming that the pandemic is harmless.
COVID is fear. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR, BUT FEAR ITSELF.
