I asked myself this after our "two weeks to slow the spread" expired. To this day I still can't figure it out! I ask all my acquaintances this as well, and nobody knows.
Big money was spent on vaccines, PPE equipment, ventilators, etc, but they forgot about simple biohazard containers. Hmmm, I guess no one had the foresight for that...

I have a cloth child size mask which I can hand wash and dry as much as I want. Don't need to throw it in a biohazard waste container after how many uses?

The masks keep your spittle from flying in faces and through the air. If you're picking masks out of the garbage and reusing them, rubbing them on your face, or sleeping with them on your pillow, it might be problematic and I would advise not doing that.

I haven't gotten tested for Covid, so I don't have Covid.

As far as mask wearing goes, I do it when it's a guildline I must follow. But most people don't even come close to wearing the mast properly anyway, unless they aim to cover their chin. So whenever I see some bozo with the mask over their mouth but exposing their nose, I tell them, "Hey, you got a big bloody hairy booger hanging out of your beek."

It's lack of lethality? Over 5.4 million people have died globally. Yes, some of them were already very sick from something else and would have died by now anyway, but the vast majority would still alive today had they not contracted Covid. You know this, right?

I think people get caught up in just reacting against propaganda. Yes, of course there is exaggeration and illogic out there. But you have to look past that and see the whole picture.

I see containers for flammable rags though.
Garbage cans and Trash Gondolas must be a haven for Covid brewing.
Good point. Anyone cleaning out trash bins that have disposed masks inside should take precautions.

Also the virus has been found in untreated wastewater sewer systems (cdc.gov) That's one way they know if a variant is in the city. (viruses and bacteria are removed after the water is disinfected)

Does doing laundry kill the virus?

Perhaps in a ceremonial manner.

I pointed that out near the beginning of all this.

How people act: Anyone unvaccinated and/or unmasked HAS the virus and WANTS to give it to others, as demonstrated by their utter disregard for the safety of others.

Those same people use ZERO biohazard disposal practices.

They’re obviously not serious about health and safety. Even if they don’t realize it, it’s about compliance and control. ALL of this is about conditioning people to do as they’re told and not question authority. If the masses ever figure that out, there’s going to be a global revolution.
