Titans279 Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Not direct experiences but the two news stories from my area are two very different ones. 1. A woman wouldn't mask up so the police were called and she was escorted out by the police (for not leaving when the store asked her to leave if she didn't put on a mask). 2. A man wouldn't mask up and was shamed by a bunch of customers. The store didn't make him mask up and eventually let him leave with free groceries. The twist is 1 was a black woman at a Walmart in a rural area and 2 was a white man at a Kroger in a generally liberal suburban area.

ManningEnvy Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 This should be the board mascot for those who don’t mask up from this day forward. Go retard Wolfie on every one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat Posted January 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 I still keep being so happy to see people's faces that I forget to be mad. I wear a mask all the time, it's not like I think it's okay. But I've really gotten tired of talking to people only on Zoom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiscotitansfan Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) If we are talking about dumb people... A while back some Madison coffee shop advertised that they were a "mask free zone" and caught social media's attention, espeially after suing the city or wherever for mask laws. Landlord decided that it's nowhere near worth having their lease Edited January 4, 2021 by wiscotitansfan IsntLifeFunny, titanruss, and MamlngEnvy 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans279 Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I'm curious what's the deal with our flu numbers this season. Could just peak later, but it's not usually this flat to start at least from this selection of years. Covid restrictions not allowing the less virulent flu to spread?

The flu R-factor is much lower than Covid, so the level of masking/social distancing we are doing is pretty much keeping the flu under control. Sadly, this is still insufficient to prevent wild-fire like spread of the much more transmissive Covid. MadMax 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just fascinating how what we're doing can demolish the flu but still results in uncontrolled spread and 350k deaths in a year for covid. The last ten years of flu deaths in the US is estimated to be 359,000. We really don't do much to control flu either. Crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect most of the deaths are from seniors (similar to COVID) and people just see that as the norm. The hidden fact in these numbers is that, for all of those flu deaths over the years, there was only the most minimal level of social distancing going on. People routinely go to work or school with the flu. And sure, millions of idiots refuse to take COVID seriously, but even figuring that into the equation, the flu has never been handled with such serious countermeasures as we are taking. Imagine how many more deaths there would be if all of us were treating it as “just the flu”.
