In one month, the amount of NYers that tested positive rose 500%!!!! That's not a cause for alarm?!?!
The CDC just revoked the authorization for the PCR test. And the threshold of the test had was set to such an extremely overaggressive manner that the result produced are actually not trustworthy at all.

But you are informed by the TV news, so of course you probably have no knowledge about these sorts of concerns.

Wow, so the news is a lie and the CDC is a lie, as well as our own ny.gov website is a lie. Darn, where must I get my source of info then?

When I start wearing a mask, I'm wearing it on my chin. That's the cool way to rock my mask.

Do you really not know that all of those sources have been pushing out lies around this topic?

Um, no. The news is where people go to get the current facts about what's going on in the world. I doubt they would lie to create mass panic. And I certainly doubt that state governors, doctors, nurses, and health experts would all form together to attest to the lies. It doesn't make sense.

With all due respect, you are not actually a very wise shopper. At least not when it comes to shopping for news and information.

My son works at a medical facility and has needed to wear a mask all through Covid during his work day. He doesn't complain.

Well last year (July 2020), new cases weren't climbing at the rate they are climbing now. And last year, we didn't have a vaccine. Right now, we have over 60% of Americans vaccinated, yet we can't seem to get this damn virus under control. So something is wrong somewhere!
