We are doing better but we still had 1,900 deaths yesterday so why wouldn't that be a concern. Brazil is experiencing a meltdown in their hospitals due to the new variant, some people have been infected again and medical facilities are running out of oxygen. So go on opening up as if we have this conquered this sound like last February some dismissed the virus because we only had 15 cases.

Texas and Miss. have a lot in common with Brazil, their leadership hates masks.

The arena all have symptom checks, theaters are not. That's the issue.

to all the people angry and scared. Didn't you all claim everyone in Florida and Iowa would be dead? That there would be a Super Bowl Spreader? That Newsom and Cuomo were doing good jobs?

What a stimulus every year, rent assistance of you are furlough or let go, or so and unemployment if you didn't get called back to work at all or worked for a company that completely shut its doors. That is a handout? The fact remains that many lost income during the pandemic and continue to and in not just talking about the unemployed...

The comment was that the Super Bowl could be a super spreader not that it was. You are narrowing in on language that was never actually said. I saw it with three partially vaccinated people and one who hadn't been due to state administration of the virus. That person would have gotten vaccinated if they were able to.

For background information, Arizona shifted from group 1b being 75+; essential workers like police, teachers, child care fire and rescue; and those with preexisting conditions to just 75+, police, fire and rescue, teachers and child care workers. They have not opened anything up to preexisting conditions but have opened up the ages twice now.

Some think masks actually help spread the virus. Fauci said early on masks give people a false sense of protection. The only helpful thing he's ever said all this time. Then he changed his mind.

Unless you wear a N95 particles just blow around the sides of cloth masks.

Masks are the superspreader.
The false sense of security, and tugging on that mask with unsanitized hands... BOOM Kung Flu infection.
The safety data sheet explains, the mask DO NOT protect anyone from COVID.

I'd swear Republican state governments would bite their nose to spite their face. Vaccines are coming. We are nearing Phase 1B in some states. But let's make it worse in the meantime.

When people say "Texas is doing fine" - they are doing terribly. Maybe they are doing fine as opposed to December. But they are still at summer levels (which were bad then). We've only normalized "bad" to become "doing just fine."

And you wear a mask to keep your particles from me not me from you.
