Masks are not a lockdown.
Nor is testing before events.
Or getting boosters.
Or improving ventilation & filtration.

None of those interventions (despite some people's best efforts to claim otherwise) cause more harm than good. Every person who cares about the economy, jobs & quality of life will support sensible #COVID19 precautions, not oppose them.

Some people are advocating for millions more to die and many more to be chronically disabled. Reject their patent lack of sense & empathy.

@augieray sadly the Governor of a major state, Florida, is proposing to outlaw all the aforementioned protections to be voted on by a lap dog know nothing legislature. This is what Little Trump DeSantis would bring to my home. #JustSayNoAmerica

@DavidKaufman The lack of sanity or care is difficult to understand. I'm boycotting visiting Florida--between banning discussions of climate change, harming the LGBTQIA community, and dangerous COVID policies, I wish people would vote with their wallets and stop visiting conferences and tourist spots in the state. FL has the 13th highest per-capita deaths in the US in the pandemic. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

@augieray None of the people who care about the economy, jobs and quality of life is in the Republican Party, which controls the majority of state governments, the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court. Who needs communists when you have domestic terrorists and Russian assets holding high positions in gov't?

@augieray Here in the U.S. so many people talk about how we used to have lockdowns here and I can only imagine that they have no idea what other countries meant by "lockdown," because "not really having anywhere to go from home because almost everything is closed" certainly isn't the actual definition of "lockdown."

@augieray There never was anything remotely approaching a lockdown anywhere in the whole USA. All the arguments bemoaning it are utter crap.

Now China… those ppl were serious.

@augieray pathological and learned lack of empathy coupled with gross ignorance of facts, statistics, and reason will be the death of million if not billions.

@augieray This would be a great post, but please read my messaging tips (they're pinned to my profile). There are too many negations in this and that makes it fail as messaging. Try again with statements without "not" in them...

@augieray ...this is where population control comes into play as I have begun to think, this bioweapon is to find weakness and eliminate the carrier and why is world wide economically...

@augieray Thank you!!!!!! Please mask up…. It doesn’t hurt!

What happened in China should prove that we need to let go of the idea that people generally will be willing to wear masks in perpetuity.

The high vaccine efficacy seems to fade sooner than we'd like.

AFAIK the last thing on the agenda here is the only hope we have, and yet it's the one hardly anyone talks about. All our collective energy needs to be on Filtration and Ventilation, as it is both highly effective, and achievable without needing new invention or collective action.
