1. Wondering why condoms weren’t mandated during the AIDS crisis .

2. In America cases are up , deaths way down.
I live in CT. I have seen nothing but 100 % compliance. We are still at 4 % positive testing rate. That rate increased from lows of 1 % months ago.

3. Speculation. Restrictions are not secured or guaranteed enough as a contributor. You claim that on the line above.

Simple answer:

We were a society that expected you to work sick and send kids to school sick. You were expected to tough it out. This caused others to get infected and over and over again.

We are now a society that expects you to stay home with the slightest sniffle. This keeps others from getting infected with flu, covid, and even the common cold.

This is the only good thing to come from this lockdown.

Do you seriously not know the difference between activities that are optional (having sex) and those that are not (breathing)?

Agreed, but working remotely is a good thing, too.

We need one to survive physically and one to survive mentally.

Remote working is what kept me from getting any kind of virus in in over a year. Usually I would get 2-4 raspatory illness because I was forced to sit in a room with people who refuse to stay home when they are sick. The ones who I know are always getting sick and passing it around I just avoid them when I do have to go in the office. I'm not surprised that the Flu cases have gone to nothing. Mask's are one thing but it's being in a closed room 8 hours a day with people who are sick.

This "Covid" virus IS the flu, just with a different, scarier name.


I am now convinced of this. We chopped off our arm destroying countless small businesses by going along with this "Covid' charade. It was all a big scam - "Covid" was really just a different version of the flu.

I don't know anyone who died from the flu, but I personally know 3 people who died from Covid. Two were under 50, and healthy not obese. One was over 50 he had some stents from heart trouble in the past but that had nothing to do with the covid. My own belief is this Covid was being enhanced in a lab and got out accidently spread around in China but they will never admit to it. I don't buy the conspiracy that covid deaths is a big scam Covid is way more deadly then any flu is.

No wonder. Wuhan flu is a lot easier to catch than the real flu.
