wow, guess it's a way to reduce the excess population of stupid people that would believe such a thing, natural selection at work! Want a COVID vaccine? I have one right here, no need to go to the hospital.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure disinfectant does not qualify for a covid-19 vaccine (never inject disinfectant it will kill you folks). Definite jail time for that one.

Who all agree with masks and social distancing? 😷

If that is directed at me, I have always said that I wear a mask in public and everyone should. I also presented scientific studies out of commonly excepted journal articles for information indicating that masks are only on average 50% effective at stopping droplets forced from your lungs, but more or less so depending on the type (25% to 75% range). No need to go over it again as everybody is free to do their own research and it childish to keep repeating readily available scientific information. It would appear that social distancing is by far better, which personally is what I try to do. Lucky to have a wife that seems immune to almost everything and a son that is 25 to do most of the errands.

If only most people have such common sense, the world would be a better place 

Unfortunately, many people have taken it upon themselves to spread misinformation, which is partly why this forum has gone as long as it has. We must continue to check those that spread misinformation and set the record straight. I've done this, for at least 50+ forum pages against certain people which I will not name, but they know who they are. For those that are into the real facts however, it is fact that masks work, social distancing works, and not going to social gatherings work to reduce spread. With the new variants coming out of the woodwork, it is important that we once and for all come together to meet this virus head on, or else we will be seeing thousands and thousands of more needless deaths, with or without the vaccines.

Why do they spread such misinformation on purpose? Do you suspect some bigger players behind the scenes? 

Who knows, I certainly have a few theories myself, not that I can discuss them here : )

It's the oldest trick in the book. Which is why people still fall for it. Attack the messenger, that way if you don't like the messenger, the message will lose it's effectiveness. The truth of the message gets lost. 

The opposite is true also. Here we have decisions being made that seem a little odd. Here old and vulnerable people are being passed over with our surplus vaccines in favor of younger healthier people who work at schools. The theory is that way schools can open sooner. We also had a decision that said bars and restaurants that are now out of business can still pay their license fees, they just don't have to pay any late fees. Oh the joyous celebration and back patting at this forward thinking and brilliant idea. The people who put these businesses OUT of business tell everyone how great they are by this generous offering.

Very political comment, delete this or face a possible ban for blatant misinformation. HYDROXYCHLORIQUINE IS NOT A COVID CURE OR TREATMENT.

Correct : )No place for that gibberish here. This is a fact checking, covid informational forum, not a political forum : )

In other news, the African-covid variant and the Brazilian covid variant are spreading like wildfire, now is not the time to ease up on restrictions, rather the opposite. This means mask wearing outdoors, limiting unnecessary trips to grocery stores, and following your local health guidelines.

Varients are usually less dangerous then what it was. So it shouldn't be much of a worry.

Yeah I don't think you have any basis for saying that at all, you just pulled it out of thin air. What we do know is that they are more infectious, whether our vaccines will be effective against them remains to be seen, as well as their mortality rates.

I don't make political comments. But I do keep track of covid decisions in our state. The comment was about a drug treatment for the virus. Not a cure. And just like in our state, often the messenger of things like treatments, rates, numbers, etc. take precedence over the message itself.

That's because if it goes the other way, and becomes more dangerous then the host dies out, which means the virus dies out. Or at least lies dormant for a while. Just like the common cold, it's very likely this virus will mutate into many different forms. I would expect most of them to be less dangerous, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few become more dangerous.
