Against my better judgment, I'll weigh in. The 99.7% survival rate is misleading. Roughly 15% of cases are seriousness to require hospitalization. Many of those cases end up in the ICU. So, without access to good medical care, the mortality rate would be much higher. Because COVID-19 spreads easily, the number of cases can easily become a big number, so big that that 15% that require hospitalization overwhelms hospitals and more people start dying. So, wearing masks, social distancing, etc are part of an effort to reduce the spread; which saves lives.
As to the science of mask wearing, there have been numerous scientific studies that prove that wearing masks reduces transmission of the virus
I don't really want to get into this fight but I have a couple of thoughts. 1. There are a number of studies (many done in Europe) that show that masking really does not stop the spread. I mean look at California's numbers and they have some of the strongest shutdowns and mandates. However, wearing a mask can't hurt so why not? 2. Also, the population that gets really sick and may go to the hospital and ICU is fairly well identified and targeted mandated steps for that population class really would have had a big benefit. Generic, ubiquitous mandates were not as effective as targeted mandates would have been in opinion.

Yeah you should have stayed out of it- you are out of your 'research league' here- with the recruiting DEAD PERIOD I have time to LEARN stuff that the SHEEP will never bother to. Like for instance......remember the CDC just admitted that they wrongly categorized 80% of the 500,000 'COVID' deaths, meaning only 100,00 ALLEGEDLY died of COVID.
- In addition, there were ZERO FLU DEATHS during this same time- how ODD? (and by ODD of course I mean totally SKETCHY).
- In addition, the flu has DIFFERENT STRAINS every year so this crap that there is a 'different variant' of the fake virus means that the FLU has a different strain LIKE VERY FREAKING YEAR IN THE PAST.
- In addition, out of those 100,000 ALLEGED 'COVID' deaths, 80% of those are ELDERLY, which happens every single year and has for a zillion years. (COVID is a complete hoax you sheep).
- In addition, there is STILL ZERO controlled study where it shows MASKS stop the spread of something as small as COVID- ON THE ENTIRE PLANET EARTH and you would figure in the past year that might be something IMPORTANT and that the EARTH COVID SPECIALISTS probably had plenty to time on their hands too right? ZERO STUDY because masks are a total joke that SHEEP fell for. (Oh, and if you make your CHILD wear a mask while she is playing soccer outside, you need to be arrested for child abuse and stupidity).
- In addition, wearing a mask STOPS the flow of OXYGEN into a child's lungs,(THAT study WAS done in a controlled group, documented and proven) yet it does NOT stop something as small as the COVID virus, so literally all you are doing is putting your child in danger- and again, you helicopter parents should be ARRESTED. BECAUSE YOU ARE A SHEEP WHO BELIEVES ANYTHING LESTER OR ANDERSON SAYS. Dirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
-In addition, if that demon juice jab actually WORKS, they would ANYONE need to get that jab OR wear a mask to visit granny if she already GOT the demon jab? Wouldn't that mean she is PROTECTED????? So if Granny wants to watch little Sally's soccer showcase games, and Granny already got the demon jab, why could she NOT? SHE IS FULLY PROTECTED RIGHT?????
Yeah....so you SHOULD have stayed out of this convo until you actually did a little research yourself instead of listening to the HILARIOUS MSM. That would be like listening to False Jesuit athletics as a guide to following OHSAA guidelines. Or like listening to the ANNA coach in terms of how to LOGICALLY put your players on the ALL STATE NOMINEE BOARDS without prejudice or nepotism, or like listening to Robert Mcgee on how to stay at a program forever and not quit, or like be a positive influential mustached coach to the parents that attend Ontario games instead of being INCREDIBLY SENSITVE, Or like ....or like.....or like......
