Oh in that case the answer is they can't actually keep that up till a vaccine is developed.

Everyone who has died from the disease would die from it anyway, just a bit later. Is that clear enough?

Uh, do you understand how the disease is spread in any way at all? People who are taking strong precautions, such as going outside as little as possible and wearing masks when they do, are almost certainly not going to die and aren't going to kill people either.

Masks don't prevent you from getting the disease. You understand that right?

Generally speaking keeping a quarantine up for years would seem impossible even for NZ. If they can though man good for them. I just don't see it happening. It's extra impossible for South Korea.

Sure whatever. Specialist masks worn by professionals who klnow what they are doing can work. You're twisting things though. The general populace has no access to those masks and no expertise to use them without loving themselves even harder.

e: Surgical masks can actually help people who have covid prevent them from infecting more people. The masks won't help you from contracting it though. In fact they may hurt.

Just because something isn't 100% effective doesn't mean it doesn't help. You wouldn't use this logic to avoid wearing a condom I hope.

Here in Texas we have started opening up and 600 people gathered in a park and someone shot off some fireworks and, being Texas, many people were armed and immediately after the bangs of the fireworks 5 people ended up getting shot. It is good to be back to normal I guess.

In my local paper this morning there is a story about cops being called for mask related disputes - one woman in a grocery store screaming at people for not wearing masks and refusing to leave, and a woman entering an Uber without a mask and refusing to wear one. It's not so much of a "both sides do it" but it has become a virtue signaling thing. There does seem to be more animosity on the "not wearing a mask" side but generally people love any excuse to shame others and this is a really easy way to do it.

I am pro-mask, btw, but I am also not going to scream at a stranger for not wearing one.

The proper term for it if you include Finland is Fennoscandia. Finland isn't culturally a part of the scandinavian countries either.

5 people were injured during Texas shooting at a park with 600 people

I'm guessing it's this, which doesn't say why they were shootin'

why do I get the feeling this is actually another "americans celebrate by firing guns upwards, shooting their neighbours and shameful selves in the process" type thing
