Instead, it became joking about diapers on faces, how churches should be packed on easter, freedums, and sowed discourse and created divisions.
I think you give the President of the US too much credit.
I don't care enough for ANY president we ever had, or anyone who has ever run, to take their word as gospel.
I form my own opinions on what I should and should not do in terms of taking a vaccine, and giving said vaccine to my family as well as what precautions I feel are necessary once the mandates are lifted.
I suppose there are some that are easily influenced by whatever word comes out of the White House, but I don't think it's enough to have made a huge difference.
Same sentiment. Like i said, our government would rather have us scared shitless and in check the way they want us to be than throw down actual facts on survival rate vs death rate of Covid.
Ditto.

Kling klang are you ok? Serious question you are sounding a little like you did in spring of 2020.
Perfectly fine. Honestly, just really sick of the mask obsession here. Or someone telling someone to use common sense or to stop watching the news. Some people take this seriously and some have lost family members and friends. If they want to wear a mask, let them. They have their reasons. It has nothing to do with common sense and being scared by the “media.”
Common sense to put on a mask, you would otherwise not be wearing, because you see a stranger wearing one that you “assume” is scared and you want them to feel better?
I have gotten attacked over and over for noticing anyone EVEN wearing one because I must be obsessed with masks but this is ok?
Funny how people have been out and about in crowds for months but there is no spikes from those places. If it is as bad as the media makes it out to be, then those places would be closing and you would have much more cases and hospitalizations and deaths.
Using the context of my previous reply to be condescending to another poster?
You got it wrong though. It’s common courtesy, not common sense. There’s a difference. But it’s looking like common courtesy may be a foreign concept for you.
It makes no sense at all and you know it as you have no clue why this person has a mask on but you are assuming and seem to take it personal.
I have noticed masks but have been attacked for it but you are a hero because you do too but because of your own anxiety of a strangers feeling, and you out on your mask, you are better?
Omg. I’m a hero? Who are you?
Now I get why a lot people just ignore your posts.

WTF does this even say?
You are constantly talking out of both sides of your a$$. You ask why would anyone wear a mask (not that it should matter to you AT ALL!) and then constantly point out that even the vaccinated can get COVID. So, Dr. Windy, which is it??? (and please, do tell us where you will be doing your residency now that you graduated med school).
You are ridiculous in your obsession with what other people do - for themselves or others. I swear I think I am going to wear a mask when I'm driving alone in my car just hoping that I cross your path and it drives you crazy

Oh please. Others post and feel the same way I do. How about attacking them. You are obsessed with only coming after me.
Why would it drive me crazy? I laugh at the stupidity of people all the time. More education, less common sense. Aren’t you a lawyer with a lot of education?

How about you answer the question - which is it: vaccinated people can still get covid or vaccinated people who continue to wear masks have no common sense? Come on now, with all your infinite wisdom, please do tell us (since according to you, the rest of us are clueless  )

Just out of curiosity, without closing our borders, how do you think that we could have eradicated this? This is a global pandemic and there are not nearly enough doses of the vaccine nor the resources to administer it globally at this point. If the virus is still ravaging other countries with the opportunity for vaccine resistant strains to develop in those countries, why would it matter if the US reaches herd immunity right now? This is not 1920 with the spanish flu where people were not traveling all over the globe the way we are now.
This!

I think if the messaging from the previous administration made it serious, united us, explained how patriotic it is to come together as one people and beat this, it would have helped matters greatly.
Instead, it became joking about diapers on faces, how churches should be packed on easter, freedums, and sowed discourse and created divisions.
I think you give the President of the US too much credit.
I don't care enough for ANY president we ever had, or anyone who has ever run, to take their word as gospel.
I form my own opinions on what I should and should not do in terms of taking a vaccine, and giving said vaccine to my family as well as what precautions I feel are necessary once the mandates are lifted.
I suppose there are some that are easily influenced by whatever word comes out of the White House, but I don't think it's enough to have made a huge difference.
Couldn’t agree more. Don’t care if the president is a Dem, or a Rep. They all can have their own interest and it’s not the health and well-being of MY family. And what is all this unifying talk? How can a president preach we need to unify while under the same breath he’s saying the opposite?!? GTFOOH!

Re: If you are vaccinated, are you still wearing a mask?
Yes I am still wearing a mask indoors bc I do not trust people to do the right thing, re: going maskless only if vaccinated. Wearing the mask may not protect me much, but it’s something.

I have a question. I see people now scared about the Delta Variant but how about next year and the year after that. Every year its gonna be something new. Are we just forever going to wear masks? And its alot of dreaming to think everyone including children will be vaccinated. So when do you stop being scared? or will people just realize its here forever and you just need to live with it and move on with life?
As long as there is media promoting and scaring people, some will always be worried and wear a mask. Stop testing, stay home if sick, and only go to the hospital in dire need. There has always been hypochondriacs and there always will be. The ones that run to the doctor or ER for the smallest things that don’t need to be.
Suffolk County has had no deaths and that is what the goal is. Not sure about other states as I have not looked and if anyone who is afraid of this variant would like to provide numbers, that would be great.
Many just listen to whatever is told to them and don’t really do their own research to see things are not always as bad as the media tells them it is.
I work for a major NYC hospital system and we were told the numbers are rising as are hospital admissions and ICU cases. These are FACTS based on data collected daily. Viruses only mutate if they have hosts and the more people vaccinated the lower the rate the Covid virus (or any virus) will mutate- another scientific FACT- Many of us scientists have all continued to wear our masks indoors regardless because people do not stay home when they are sick and many in our region share BS false “facts” with little regard for anyone but themselves.You can look up the data yourself but in the past month the total number of cases in NYS went from about 0.25% to over 1% if the spread continues at the same rate the fall is going to look a lot like last year- getting ill and being hospitalized is a strain on the healthcare system- there is more to it than how many people die from Covid in Suffolk county.
The Covid alert NY app will allow you to look at your tiny piece of the universe in Suffolk as well as the rest of NYS.

I work for a major NYC hospital system and we were told the numbers are rising as are hospital admissions and ICU cases. These are FACTS based on data collected daily. Viruses only mutate if they have hosts and the more people vaccinated the lower the rate the Covid virus (or any virus) will mutate- another scientific FACT- Many of us scientists have all continued to wear our masks indoors regardless because people do not stay home when they are sick and many in our region share BS false “facts” with little regard for anyone but themselves.You can look up the data yourself but in the past month the total number of cases in NYS went from about 0.25% to over 1% if the spread continues at the same rate the fall is going to look a lot like last year- getting ill and being hospitalized is a strain on the healthcare system- there is more to it than how many people die from Covid in Suffolk county.

U’re saying that if the spread continues at the same rate, the fall is going to look a lot like last year? How so considering the majority of people have been vaccinated already (starting from age 12 and up)?

I have a question. I see people now scared about the Delta Variant but how about next year and the year after that. Every year its gonna be something new. Are we just forever going to wear masks? And its alot of dreaming to think everyone including children will be vaccinated. So when do you stop being scared? or will people just realize its here forever and you just need to live with it and move on with life?
As long as there is media promoting and scaring people, some will always be worried and wear a mask. Stop testing, stay home if sick, and only go to the hospital in dire need. There has always been hypochondriacs and there always will be. The ones that run to the doctor or ER for the smallest things that don’t need to be.

I would love to know that too.
So your saying it doesn't matter that all these people on long island got vaccinated?
Also, how does one expect 100 percent of people to get vaccinated? I know i'm not gonna be first online for kids getting vaccinated no matter how much its "forced". So are you saying every year will be the same since every year will surely be something new.

I did not say it doesn’t matter that people got vaccinated BUT kids 12 and under and unvaccinated adults still make up a good percentage of the population. There are still break through infections and it may be possible for a vaccinated adult to infect their unvaccinated child. The vaccine is most effective at preventing death and reducing the symptoms like we have seen with other vaccines like the flu and chicken pox vaccines.
I also did not say 100% of people need to be vaccinated but the population needs to meet a threshold of immunity to eliminate spreed- it has been done with other infectious disease like polio but YES there will be new infections that arise over time. This is not a new concept. Over time there will be new viruses and new strains of old ones. The idea is to minimize risk. Vaccines help minimize the risk. These are facts that have been observed over time with different vaccines. Our society is selfish as a whole- many people do not stay home when they are sick- this too is not new. If we stop testing it is not going to eliminate the risk it is just going to stop keeping track of it but some like the ignorance is bliss approach to life.

The covid misinformation being peddled out there is increasing the level of ignorance amongst the people. Posts like yours help balance that out, especially in certain parts of Suffolk it would seem.
Some people need it, even though their line of questioning borders harassment, your replies are appreciated.

I don’t think it is bliss but just like every other virus that we don’t have numbers every single day, stay home and only get tested when truly needed and need medicine to cure. Imagine if we got numbers everyday for every time someone went to get tested for the flu or step or pneumonia, etc, etc. of course it would scare people.
I don’t agree at all and workplaces need to be more lenient but many don’t stay home because they won’t get paid and possibly lose their jobs. Most of us are fortunate to have sick days and don’t think twice and forget the ones that literally live paycheck to paycheck and maybe new at their jobs or just have ones that don’t offer many days off.

I have to laugh at one of the comments in the link posted to that Tiktok.
Liberal logic at its best.
It’s an Australian video. The Liberal party in Australia is conservative.

You think this is "just like every other virus"???What kind of insane thinking is that? In case you haven't been paying attention (which clearly you haven't), this is far far different from all other viruses. THIS virus shut down the entire world. Information is knowledge that can be acted upon to help stop the spread and help prevent deaths. That line of thinking - oh, this is just like the flu - is moronic.

Imagine if we got numbers everyday for every time someone went to get tested for the flu or step or pneumonia, etc, etc. of course it would scare people.
I don’t agree at all and workplaces need to be more lenient but many don’t stay home because they won’t get paid and possibly lose their jobs. Most of us are fortunate to have sick days and don’t think twice and forget the ones that literally live paycheck to paycheck and maybe new at their jobs or just have ones that don’t offer many days off.
You think this is "just like every other virus"???What kind of insane thinking is that? In case you haven't been paying attention (which clearly you haven't), this is far far different from all other viruses. THIS virus shut down the entire world. Information is knowledge that can be acted upon to help stop the spread and help prevent deaths. That line of thinking - oh, this is just like the flu - is moronic.
Chilltocam, you have to consider the source.
