Nations that are serious about masking and vax have not succeeded in defeating covid. That includes NZ. Now go stock up on N95 and make sure your miracle vax (which I got the first two of my own free will) is up to date. Are you defining success as no COVID at all? Because that went out the window a long time ago. Seems to me like preventing deaths is worthwhile, but I guess you disagree. In any event, if enough people oppose mitigation, maybe the GOP won’t be able to win elections anymore because their voters will be dead… https://ysph.yale.edu/news-article/study-finds-large-gap-in-excess-deaths-along-partisan-lines-after-covid-19-vaccines-introduced/ 1

Is that right? Follow the science? wish-casting 1

If someone is in the type of condition where they are likely to die if they catch Covid, I don’t think a mask is going to help them…imho I don’t think they are efficient enough from preventing contraction… They are better off taking the vaccine imo 👍 Edited January 11, 2023 by JaCrispy

Maybe Covid is just different that way. Or maybe it’s just that people don’t care enough.
BillsFanNC Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Risk mitigation for healthy people under 40 by wearing masks, social distancing etc. is like engaging in lightning strike risk mitigation under clear sunny blue skies.

The current strain is much more infectious than the original. Some things that would have worked in the past aren’t as effective against this version 1

Its not always true that subsequent strains are weaker, but we dont know yet with this one. Just because a strain is highly transmissable doesn't necessarily mean that it's more virulent. The underlying molecular mechanisms are insanely complex. The new highly transmissable XBB.1.5 strain is due to a single amino acid mutation that increased ACE2 receptor binding affinity at the cost of less likely antibody escape, so it remains to be seen if it will even spur a spike in absolute cases, let alone be more virulent. This was an exceptionally rare mutation requiring two nucleotide mutations in the same codon. 1

Damar Hamlin people blaming the shot (so thankful he is doing alright). But it seems like pretty certain it was cardiac arrest by the hit. People jump to politics too quick and wait for answer.
