They're gonna make sure we never have an appropriate response ever again.

Everyone is just going to be sick, all the time, forever, and people are going to forget that there was once a time when being sick was unusual.

doomjak but with more tears.

Yeah, we could have re-opened them safely with air filtration and n95 use. But it's cheaper just to say "fuck it" and get everyone sick.

You greatly overestimate the hygiene and discipline of children

[-] TheModerateTankie@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

It helps greatly if the community is also taking measures.

Right now, even with just with air filtration, studies estimate it cuts down the spread of disease by 20%.

[-] fox@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago

That's why you put good filtration systems in the buildings full of infection generators

[-] gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

Yeah that's why you never get sick from planes

[-] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

how did you tell it was the plane and not the airport?

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

Or people in general. Just walked into the bathroom at work and there is snot on the wall above the urinal. Only adults work here.

I still remember when that fuck gave the all-clear to re-open everything and ban masks but if you wanted to interview him you needed to test negative three days in a row and wear an N95 outdoors.

Curious.

Can't wait for mpox+bird flu to ravage the country while we're still forced to continue our lives like nothing is wrong.

If your responses is comprehensive then schools and everything should have been shut down for 6-12 weeks while people are tested and quarantined.

I live in Florida. Disney was back open summer 2020.
