Of course the US isn’t accurately reporting the numbers and part of me thinks they’re over reporting shyt on purpose becuz they know they fukked up from the start so they gotta put fear in people so they’ll listen. A lot of shyt just doesn’t add up. Like how are their not enough tests but there’s way more confirmed negatives than positives. And this is after they claim to only be testing people who meet a certain criteria

Actually, this is how it should be. We've tested folks and got way more negatives than positives. That's how you want it to be. A lot of folks that get tested but pop negative have flu, not rona. Seeing a lot of influenza A tests (+) with the rona tests (-).


You can't really hold those old posts against people because Trump, The CDC, The WHO, the media, China, and even some scientific journals all spread different information or misinformation in the beginning though.
Remember it was Trump/the government who were saying the risk to the U.S population is low, the flu is more deadlier, only old people with preexisting conditions are at risk, and wearing a mask if you're healthy won't help. We all know that's bullshyt now. We would be in a better position if China told the truth, and the U.S took it serious and was honest from the start.

Agreed, although wearing a mask improperly won't help if you are healthy.

Brb majority of masks are disposable and not intended to be worn multiple times; they're also :trash: once contaminated with viral agents. Some masks (i.e. surgical masks) are virtually useless for preventing you from getting rona (some masks would esssentially trap droplets against your face.)

Not attacking you :hubie:. I just hope Americans don't get a false sense of security wearing masks. :beli:


But no gloves on, touching on everything :scust:

Exactly. PPE only so far. It is it to mitigate occupational/environmental health risks, it does not negate them completely. Wearing eaplugs =/= as not being exposed to loud noise in the first place. This is the same shyt.

Furthermore, PPE is only effective when worn effectively. Most folks don't know how to don/doff it, and most people haven't been properly sized for shyt, including N-95's.

Not saying to not wear PPE, just saying if you can be in a situation where you don't have to wear it, go with that as option A.

Stay safe y'all.

I'm headed off to bed.
