If a virus is more infectious do you think you should take more precautions or just get sick?virus have more capability to infect anybody not just non maskers...

treat it like a flu virus...lockdowns were unnecessary...If a virus is more infectious do you think you should take more precautions or just get sick?
misquoted againYou said the "obvious" conclusion was that the Flu numbers were misreported as Covid.
this is quite different from your misquotethe obvious conclusion is a huge number of flu deaths were reported as Covid deaths.
misquoted again,There were 1.2M recorded deaths due to COVID in the US.
Which amounted to 1-1.5% of the diagnosed and reported COVID cases. (Mind you many millions were undiagnosed because they did not get official testing done).
According to you Flu numbers were massively misreported as Covid.
the obvious conclusion is a huge number of flu deaths were reported as Covid deaths.
no!So the obvious conclusion from your statement is that if they were not due to COVID, they were due to the Flu.
??? WTF???So pick your pandemic before you engage in your mental gymnastics.
increase a published value by 451% and claim "it makes only a tiny difference"
a subset of the 3 million that occur annually in the US likely skewed upwards by covid infectionsAlternatively, how would you explain 1.2M deaths?
to you perhaps, but common sense is not your strong suitAs usual you fail to make any sense at all.
Enjoy your long covid, every time you catch covid the chances of long covid go up massively.treat it like a flu virus...lockdowns were unnecessary...
There was also no guarantee that it would be 100% effective. Barriers have been proven to work and the efficacy of many different types of masks were tested. Do you believe in using condoms?people who wore mask and social distance still got infected... there was no scientific basis it will work.
Maybe you've heard the saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."..treating symptoms was the way to go. fear mongering put people in panic mode...
oh so the only difference was the lockdowns and face diaper mandates then?MRNA vaccines have been in research for the last 50 years.
MRNA vaccines were not the only vaccines either.
Many COVID vaccines were vector vaccines, and vector vaccines have been around for decades.
pick one or the otherIt was completely your personal choice to get the vaccine.
But if your personal choice was going to harm someone else, then we have a problem.
government is not just any organization and our govt demonized people for wanting a choiceHence why many organizations, especially one where you'd come into contact with vulnerable people required their employees to get the vaccine, or quit.
I say in a pandemic it is fair to do that.
it was a virus...infects like flu, symptoms of flu the over reaction was unwarranted... the lockdowns made it worst...you can also wear mask to not get flu...and people are still dying of fluThere was also no guarantee that it would be 100% effective. Barriers have been proven to work and the efficacy of many different types of masks were tested. Do you believe in using condoms?
Maybe you've heard the saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
By talking about fear mongering are you implying that Covid is/was innocuous? There was no potential for death?
What are you comparing a virus to?virus have more capability to infect anybody not just non maskers...
virus have more than one way to infect a victim...What are you comparing a virus to?
Are you saying that all viruses work the same and that the risks and symptoms of getting infected is the same for all viruses?it was a virus...infects like flu, symptoms of flu
And if the virus is spread through the air, how can keeping people away from each other/lockdowns possibly make the spread worse? People were not occupying the same air space, they weren't sharing the same air.the lockdowns made it worst
Then what does this mean? You seem to be implying that Covid and flu work the same.virus have more than one way to infect a victim...
exactly that...it was a virus like flu...locking the economy down was ineffective...Then what does this mean? You seem to be implying that Covid and flu work the same.

You said "The obvious conclusion is that a huge number of Flu deaths was reported as Covid deaths".misquoted again
stop that
this is quite different from your misquote
misquoted again,
stop that
although you are a little closer this time
again you use stats with errors of unknown quantities , although you ascribe looser precision this time.
no!
the obvious conclusion is none can ascribe the precision to covid statistics that you did
??? WTF???
you decided to label 'mis-information by citing precision in statistics which contain errors of unknown quantity
that is not my fault
perhaps you need a safety net when confronted by "mental gymnastics" that most others refer to as common sense or critical thinking
questioning status quo narratives is important
the proof is when it triggers the loonies into additional foolish mistakes like defending you precission
a subset of the 3 million that occur annually in the US likely skewed upwards by covid infections
to you perhaps, but common sense is not your strong suit
still struggling with the connection between illegal and criminal ?
Lockdowns, masks, social distancing and vaccines.oh so the only difference was the lockdowns and face diaper mandates then?
either this bug was different or it was not
pick one or the other
you are fence sitting on the logic when you clearly have staked a position
government is not just any organization and our govt demonized people for wanting a choice
like most I choose to comply, however I respect the choice of others not to
I was disgusted by how these people were attacked by the wokesters
the demand other must get an injection were even more alarming
"Like" does not mean exactly the same.exactly that...it was a virus like flu...locking the economy down was ineffective...
just like you're making assumptions it would've been bigger without the lockdowns..."Like" does not mean exactly the same.
It may have been unpopular but one cannot declare that it was ineffective without substantiation. Are you saying that you know for a fact what the death toll would have been without a lockdown and/or mask mandate? Nobody in the world knows what the numbers would have been. Anybody who says they do know is making huge assumptions and speculating.
not the sameYou said "The obvious conclusion is that a huge number of Flu deaths was reported as Covid deaths".
I claimed that you said that "Flu deaths were misreported as covid deaths".
They are one and the same!
vsYou said the "obvious" conclusion was that the Flu numbers were misreported as Covid.
quite different"The obvious conclusion is that a huge number of Flu deaths was reported as Covid deaths".
