I just can't believe the world is gaslighting us to believe there's nothing that can be done so open r up and let it be.

Like. It's a virus. Is there any reason to believe it'll slow down or only be seasonal?

fire and ems would absolutely benefit from a chud purge, esp in leadership positions. one of my department's clinical educators was sharing covid denialist content with staff last march and refused to wear a mask until may when he bought a gaiter made of the thinnest material i've ever seen

im sure endemic covid will be fine, it's not like it mutates to be more transmissible or dangerous. i mean hey, if you've already had it once, it's not like the second time is a lot more dangerous.

yeah police and fire department seem to be a massive Chud dominated organization with lots of former military conservative types.

I know each week in Florida there's another crying article about local police dying from COV19, which doesn't suprise me given from polling most reject COV19 vaccination for the standard conspiracy theory reasons.

Yup it means that virus has hopped over and infected enough people to make wiping it out pretty challenging.

There is a history of making virus go extinct through global vaccination but the odds for this working for COV19 aren't really bad.

overheard someone saying that masks cause difficulty breathing and because you're desperately panting to breathe while masked you're outputting far more virus than normal sick people breathing unmasked, and all of that will burst out the unsealed sides of the mask, guaranteeing to infect others instead of just small amounts of natural exhaled virus being removed by UV/wind because if there's just a little virus the sun rays penetrate all of it but if there's a ton of heavily concentrated virus the sun will only kill the outside and inside is still infective

Gonna be interesting to see what the consent manufacturing machine starts churning out if we end up mutating some nightmare strain that both outcompetes B.1.617.2 and friends and has like a 50% fatality rate.
