Happy to respond to any specific questions, I see nothing but a wall of text
Sorry you got lonely, sounds like a personal problem.
Drinking early today? I said shutting down schools was a terrible mistake and is the cause of the RSV e we are seeing, I said nothing of masks.
But...since you brought up masks that reminded me that you recently ran off in this thread after I called out for posting an absolutely study on masking in schools. Let's circle back to that now that you brought masks back up. Shall we?
You going to respond this time or abandon the thread again for another week in the hopes that I forget?

Sorry you got lonely, sounds like a personal problem.
In passing, your opinion that one study I linked here is ty doesn't move the needle for me, the broad consensus of peer reviewed studies is that masking is effective. Many of them have been posted in this thread, happy to repost any that I can find, but feel free to use the search function if you start to feel lonely again.
Ordinarily, I'd be reluctant to repost Eric Feigl-Ding, but this is more detailed than most of the articles I've found this morning.
Note here the EFD isn't a zero COVID zealot. He seems to think, as I do do, that China's pivot to less restrictive COVID policies is big news for Chinese people and the world economy.
CDC recommends masking to put a s ch in the transmission of at least three respiratory viruses.
Also, wash your hands and don't touch your face if you don't want to get sick. Flu and RSV are already ing and COVID's getting there again.
The horses are already out of the barn, this recommendation is way too late. At least they're recommending higher quality masks this time.
CDC: Long COVID behind more than 3,500 deaths
the text of death certificates from Jan. 1, 2020, through June 30, 2022, and found 3,544 deaths
mentioning key terms such as “chronic COVID,” “long COVID,” “long haul COVID,” or “long hauler COVID.”
growing recognition of the severity of long COVID, a condition that remains poorly understood.
The vast majority of deaths — 78.5 percent — were among white Americans

We conducted a population-based longitudinal cohort analysis of adults and determined COVID vaccination status through linkages to individual electronic medical records. Traffic crashes requiring emergency medical care were subsequently identified by multicenter outcome ascertainment of all hospitals in the region over a 1-month follow-up interval (178 separate centers).
Results
A total of 11,270,763 individuals were included, of whom 16% had not received a COVID vaccine and 84% had received a COVID vaccine. The cohort accounted for 6682 traffic crashes during follow-up. Unvaccinated individuals accounted for 1682 traffic crashes (25%), equal to a 72% increased relative risk compared with those vaccinated (95% confidence interval, 63-82; P < 0.001). The increased traffic risks among unvaccinated individuals extended to diverse subgroups, was similar to the relative risk associated with sleep apnea, and was equal to a 48% increase after adjustment for age, sex, home location, socioeconomic status, and medical diagnoses (95% confidence interval, 40-57; P < 0.001). The increased risks extended across the spectrum of crash severity, appeared similar for Pfizer, Moderna, or other vaccines, and were validated in supplementary analyses of crossover cases, propensity scores, and additional controls.
Conclusions
These data suggest that COVID vaccine hesitancy is associated with significant increased risks of a traffic crash. An awareness of these risks might help to encourage more COVID vaccination.
Neither do they care about your mask wearing feelings
You get a cold/flu you recover or die. This has been the case for millenia.
Cheers
no one is making you wear a mask.
There's nothing to rebel against. Talk to a therapist about your dad.
you're so insecure
Why? Because I'm not wearing a mask either?
Because real men get polio?
If you thought COVID zero was bad, just wait.
https://siliconangle.com/2022/12/25/...utbreak-china/The Financial Times reports that supply chain experts are warning that there is a growing risk of months-long disruption to the supply of iPhones. Unlike the previous outbreak at the Zhengzhou iPhone factory, this disruption will be much further spread due to potential worker shortages at component plants and assembly lines across the country.
“We should be seeing a lot of operations get impacted by absenteeism, not just at factories, but warehouse, distribution, logistic and transportation facilities as well,” said Bindiya Vakil, chief executive of supply chain mapping company Resilinc, told FT.
The supply chain issues are also expected to hit Apple’s bottom line. Analysts believe that Apple’s revenue will fall below its record of $123.9 billion in the same quarter of last year with profit expected to drop below 8%, but that’s just the last quarter of this year. Next year could be worse.
Along with supply issues, Apple also relies on mainland China for a fifth of its revenue. Worker shortages affect not only manufacturing but also retail, with Apple stores in China already cutting hours due to a lack of available employees. There is also a concern that given the crisis, Chinese consumers will also stop spending on non-essential items until the worst of the outbreak has passed
.Apple is not alone in facing issues, with Tesla Inc. reported having suspended manufacturing at its Shanghai plant. The plant was expected to shut down over New Year, but the decision came earlier than expected.
Other companies with manufacturing facilities in mainland China that are likely to be affected include Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Microsoft Corp., Google LLC, Dell Corp. and HP Development Co. LP
I had this sh1t this month. All I can say is, yes it's more of a head cold now, but don't believe the hype. It's stil pretty potent and you might also get weird symptoms not typical of covid like very sensitive skin, etc. I got better, then tested negative and then days later got a rebound infection. Also, initially makes it awkward going into the office for work purposes after recovery.
Not sure how effective this new booster is, but might not be a bad idea for those of you who want to avoid all this.
If you can get Paxlovid it usually nixes the rebound infection and it makes it so the head cold symptoms last for a day tops. Once Paxlovid becomes widely available and is in full circulation COVID really won't be much of a thing imo
Yeah, I've heard that's like a wonder drug but you have to get it early, like within 5 days of infection.
I took it when I had COVID last month. Worked great and no rebound.
Probably take a booster next month. Need a couple of months to pass since the infection before you can take the booster.
