Actually very blue people are moving there as well as Florida. Some master plan thing...
The discovery of vitamins is a major scientific breakthrough for the human race. The definition of a proper diet has evolved over time due to the scientific knowledge of how food are processed by the human body, e.g. butter is considered harmful to the human body until recently.
Just saying.
I agree. I’m not very opinionated on one side or the other but I hate being involved in some stupid conflict
It only protects the wearer from inhaling virus tainted air-bourned droplets into their throats and/or lungs. A person may still get infected if the droplets/virus came into contact with the eye.
Funny you ignore the other half of my post with all the terrible things like Substance abuse, suicide and child abuse all through the roof. Nice job cherry picking stuff. And yes I’ll trust people I know over the many many many now proven to be false stats out there (like the CDC stats on outdoor transmission now proven to be total BS)
Ah yes, so much for pro-business small-government conservatism. Republicans have turned into a gang of blind contrarians.
This doesn't look like a lead balloon. You could say the population increase rate dropped, though:
the spread increases chances of a mutation your vaccine does ot protect you against. I get your sentiment, but alas, we are still all in this together.
Probably because, despite what someone on TV is saying*, people aren't just moving cause of an ideological aversion to taxes. CA cities cost a lot because people want to live in them. People who can't afford it or see more downsides than upsides can go somewhere else.
Meanwhile, my job means I live here, but I'm more right-wing than anyone in Texas and will defend that title. Also, unlike Texas's weather, living around Democrats doesn't make me sweat a river every day.
* I don't know who, but given how many times I've heard these phrases about people fleeing NYC and CA repeated, it must be someone popular.

They said they’ve had 5 covid deaths in 12 months.
they live on an island with the dharma initiative.
Severe covid patients are also overweight and will probably develop diabetes anyways.Information is still evolving:
"
Peter Jackson, a biochemist at the Stanford University School of Medicine, estimates “as many as 30 percent of patients with severe COVID-19 may develop diabetes.”
Can COVID-19 lead to diabetes? Here’s what you need to know
New studies show that the COVID-19 virus can attack the pancreas, destroy cells that make insulin, and cause some cases of diabetes.www.nationalgeographic.com
I’m so sorry for your suffering. Are there other issues we can ignore for your short sighted benefit?
You missed the article that, yes ⅔ of COVID hospitalizations are over weight, but ⅓ are not. This is about destruction of insulin producing cells, not a set amount of insulin being spread over a larger volume.
In most jurisdictions, it is over. Choose where you live carefully.
I work retail and I work in a town that is basically a liberal bastion, mask compliance was near 100% at one point. I have not worn my mask for two weeks now and no one has said a word to me. And honestly, the more employees that took their masks off, the more comfortable customers got taking theirs off. I think a lot of people want to take it off, but they don’t know the rules everywhere and they don’t want to be judged and other stuff like that.
And final point, the type of people who would make a big stink are the ones who were screaming “listen to the science!And final point, the type of people who would make a big stink are the ones who were screaming “listen to the science!” Now I’ve been all about the science, I’ve been pro mask and pro social distancing this entire time. But I also knew that vaccines, highly effective vaccines at that, would bring us out of this.
You mentioned in a couple of posts your desire to not see other people. That is not a healthy reaction. Your confinement away from other people will eventually, if not already, cause you health problems. Your comments seem to indicate that process has already started.
Do you differentiate between gross over-generalizations and facts?
When you say “common sense”, you don’t mean “failing to understand and/or engage with the complexity of a topic only to be reductive with a pithy, surface-level reading”, do you?
I see that with a lot of people who hang their hat on so-called “common sense”, don’t want to unfairly put you in that insecure anti-intellectual box if unwarranted, which is why I ask.
Is that your educated medical opinion or a biased comment from someone with selfish desire of going backward in time to when they could tell people what to do? At the very least have selfish desires that help others.
My point is that there is more than one reason to support masks. Attractiveness is but one.
These are my favorite threads. No, really!
Everybody is passionately arguing about biology even though they didn't pay any attention in high school biology class, and which didn't teach them anything useful anyway, because it was a government school and the science teacher was a moonlighting liberal arts degree holder. Should have taken science from the janitor/maintenance guy, because at least he had a functional and working knowledge of some things like how the food in the cafeteria kitchen will rot if the coolers get too warm, or why salt will melt ice on the sidewalks when the sun comes out.
But to make up for our woeful lack of knowledge, we listen to the media mockingbirds such as the New York Times and CNN, who don't even know that ice comes from water. We silly humans are really hilarious, and it's amazing that any of us learned how to put on pants and tie our shoes without the Times telling us we're all gonna die if we go barefoot!
And then there's the village idiot (also known as the CDC, or Dr. Fauci if you want to put a face to it) telling us what we can and can't do and then changing their minds with more political reasons than scientific ones. And it's all delivered with an appropriate doom-and-gloom tone of voice by the aforementioned head-waggers at the Times and CNN, or from their friends at ABC, NBC, CBS, CSPAN, or Fox.
And everybody here, crawling all over each other's @sses like beetles in a 2-liter bottle trap because even the people who do agree, really don't agree about some spurious detail or another. Those beetles always end up dying in the hot sun, people! 😈
Quit, don't quit. Noodles, don't noodles. Mask, don't mask. Opinions are like noses and anuses. Everybody has one of each! But in the end (pun intended), it's all just irrelevant in the big scheme of things.
It's simple, and we learned everything we should do when we were in Kindergarten. Or, if we had good parents, we learned them at home before our first day of Kindergarten. And that is this: We could all get along better if we would smile and say hello to each other, share our toys and cookies, stop peeing on the toilet seat that the next person has to use, clean it when we do anyway, flush when we're done, and wash our damned hands before leaving the restroom.
Oh, and remember, your 80% friend is not your 20% enemy. Likewise, your 20% friend is not your 80% enemy; that's an 80%-possible-future-friend. Well, unless he leaves the restroom without washing his damned hands; then I say "let the battle begin!" 😁
But really, in threads like these, we certainly have the habit of dropping all filters and just flinging poop at each other. Tell me again how we actually found ourselves at the top of the food chain?
