The are desperate for a doctrine, a faith (religion or just dogma) that says 'Yes' to their worldview. At first it was the Media, Fox News was their savor, but then as Obama won, Fox News wasn't concentrated enough. The rise of Podcasts, and Alt-News Networks is a drug, a heroin for them. I ain't saying these people can't be saved, and see the light... but your talking about information junkies that begin to develop withdrawal symptoms when logic puts them in a corner; they start to shake, get aggressive, and want to scream "NO!".

But now you add in a Pandemic component, which is not stopping... and it's going to keep killing, or maiming those people, until they have longhaul COVID until another round of COVID finishes them off.

There's been several things that I've known from the very beginning of this shyt that I'm kinda upset weren't made clearer to the public earlier. Two of the big ones were:

#1. Handwashing was overrated
#2. Those plastic barriers weren't worth shyt


From the beginning I always envisioned it as a cloud of virus moving around someone's head at decreasing density the further away you got. Social distancing is obviously helpful. Being outside provides air currents that blow the cloud away. And masks hold the cloud back to some degree. But those fukking plastic barriers are just there. And whatever minor viral exposure you get on your hands and then into your mouth some X minutes later really ain't shyt compared to that cloud.

Nah. Not even close. Spread of germs and viruses start and end with hand hygiene.

Handwashing is an important public health measure for many diseases. But right now I'm talking about how Covid spreads. And while it is certainly possible for a few Covid viruses to spread from an object to your hands to your mouth and into your system, the amount of virus you're breathing in when an infected person is in close proximity to you is 100x more important.

The Atlantic came out with an article about this exact point today.

The Great Pandemic Hand-Washing Blooper

Should you wash your hands? Yes. Does it matter for respiratory viruses? Not as much as we once thought.
