How many of these theories are we going to go through with this?
It was a hoax (it wasn't)
it was contained over seas and not coming here (it wasn't)
the media was exaggerating in March (how's that working out?)
masks don't work (they do)
the lokcdowns weren't needed cause it was gonna peter away naturally (before the 2nd surge)
there is no 2nd wave (lol)
the summer will kill it (it didn't)
they're juicing the numbers (but the rest of the world isn't),
Sweden has it right! just power through (it was a disaster)
the deaths are exaggerated (guess all those excess deaths are coicidence)
WHEN ARE WE GONNA APOLOGIZE TO GOV DESANTIS! (big LOL)
Hopefully most of this country is exhausted and ready to move on from "everything you think is false because everyone ie biased and my favorite podcast host/politician/tv host/youtube personality sees through this and can tell you the REAL truth" phase of American life.
Tremendous lack of education evident in this post. You pulled most of this crap from the echochamber of feel-good-facebook-politics it seems, and your bias is showing. You're grouping my opinions, which you know nothing of, with morons who are conspiracy theories. So many straw man arguments here making your viewpoint seem ironclad which it is not. Read on for explanations, or don't if you prefer.
It was a hoax (it wasn't) It was never a hoax.
it was contained over seas and not coming here (it wasn't) It was never contained overseas.
the media was exaggerating in March (how's that working out?) The media was
not exaggerating in March for NYC area. However, maybe other areas that locked down early as a precaution, shouldn't have. Because ppl got burnt out sitting at home with low rates and hospitalizations as these places never had high numbers, so folks in those areas were like wtf are we doing? Now that it's actually hitting these places in earnest no one wants to lock down AGAIN. I know implying the method 'scientists' originally recommended (lock down country) as not perfect is religious blasphemy for the liberal left, but these conversations need to, and should happen. No one is infallible but many treat their 'gods' as such, and the gods can be actual religious gods, religious/political leaders/activists, or scientists.
Masks don't work (they do). In their haste to minimize fear, political leaders, doctors and scientists said early on they don't work despite little research or evidence to back it up. They said 'it helps prevent you spreading it to others, but doesn't help you from catching it from others, so don't bother. The fact is that any little bit helps, and wearing them for others' sake is the real purpose, as well as for the symbol of it, that we are in this together (which I 100% agree with).
There is no 2nd wave. You clearly do not understand what a 1st or second wave means. We have not cleared the first wave in order to call what we currently have a second wave. The places getting hit hardest (except Cali) didn't get it yet. It's a first wave still. Worry about a '2nd wave hitting' after the first is cleared.
the summer will kill it I don't where you get your news but the articles I read said it dies quicker out in the sun and heat, and this still holds true. No one said it will go away from the summer. That's dumb and only used to built up your strawman. The truth is, if you're even interested in it, that it lasts on surfaces SIGNIFICANTLY longer in cold and non-humid conditions. However,
the majority of spread is through symptomatic individuals, indoors, with extended periods of close contact. Outdoor spread and spread via surfaces is not what is driving the Pandemic. So lasting shorter in the sun is great and all, but unfortunately this will have minimal impact on spreading as it is more direct person-person transfer via air droplets from sneezing/coughing/loud talking etc. which the heat and sun doesn't really impact.
they're juicing the numbers (but the rest of the world isn't) Right so only the bad guys, conservative leaders, are massaging numbers, your team is ethically and morally superior and would not stoop to such low levels. This might actually and sadly be true, but I'm skeptical of all numbers these days no matter the source. I check their methodology and for reliability (ability for others to replicate numbers as well).
Sweden has it right! just power through (it was a disaster) Don't dance on their grave yet. US locked down for 3 months and we're STILL heading in the direction of Sweden with tons of new cases. Yes, blame conservatives for being burnt out staying at home unemployed for 3 months for a pandemic in NY and Cali that was nothing in their states. Back to the original point of understanding human nature and maybe States should have waited to lockdown. In a year or two we'll look back at the data with an unbiased and objective eye to see the impact in regards to hospitalizations, deaths, and total damage to the economy and we'll know who did it and managed it better. It's very difficult to pull a winner out now though everyone sure does for both sides (as f***ing usual).
the deaths are exaggerated (guess all those excess deaths are coicidence)
WHEN ARE WE GONNA APOLOGIZE TO GOV DESANTIS! (big LOL) Like I said, don't group me together with conspiracy theorist morons. I'm skeptical of
all numbers and research them heavily, I don't pick a side like you and only believe my team's statements. Keep following your political and scientific gods words while I'll make my own informed decisions after looking at multiple sources.
