Anybody against the most aggressive measures being used to minimize the spread of covid no matter how intrusive they are to your “personal freedoms” obviously stopped paying attention in school after the eight grade. The main problem for them now is that their only source of education now is the entertainment news channel “Fox News” which is the only news channel that has to constantly apologize for reporting completely incorrect information. They will tell you Florida doesn’t have a covid problem and you would believe them while you lie in the hospital with your sick spouse and your grandkids school had to close because 75% of the kids had covid. Luckily, your sons wife is OK so she can take care her husband who didn’t get very sick and should be able to return to work in 2 weeks. So, it’s not really a problem. Don’t let it inconvenience you.

We are back to square one, except this time cases in our state are even higher than before. And the Delta variant is worse and easier to spread, especially for kids. I don’t know how we expect a different outcome this go round.

I’d just like to suggest all of you who are taking your mask and vaccine guidance from politicians defer to them as well instead of your cardiologist, internal medicine, urology, orthopedic, and other healthcare providers. After all who needs experts right? Geez the ignorance may be worse than the covid!

I wish all of you on these comments that are less than kind, would step back and realize how you are talking to one another. This is not the first disease the world has dealt with and it won’t be the last. You never persuade anyone to listen to your side of an argument by yelling at them. Just saying

@ Chris
You are 100% right…
Thats why surgeons wear them in operations….because they are usless..as your uneducated infantile opinion

Perhaps you need to fyi the CDC , WHO ,FDA and local hospitals.

All these medical people are not as smart as you

Chris, I applaud you, it’s been often said even the worst student graduating medical school is called Doctor, maybe that’s you. CDC says masks work, Doctors (like yourself) and nurses all wear masks. I’m going with the experts on this one, but oh I forgot, you are an expert. smh

@Chris

I could vote a dozen studies that all confirm that masks are effective at slowing the spread of COVID-19, but I doubt that would change your mind.

The virus is smaller than the spaces between the fibers in a mask, but it travels through the air in respiratory droplets that are expelled when you cough, sneeze, talk, or even breathe. A cloth mask is effective at capturing those respiratory droplets before someone else inhales them and is infected.

Masks work. Period.

All you mask people realize that masks DO NOT WORK, right? I’m all for the vaccine. But continuing to insist people wear a cloth or paper mask to “protect” from something that can freely get right through said cloth or paper is kind of idiotic. Masks do not work. Period.

If this virus wasn’t so contagious government wouldn’t be telling us what to do, period!!! Wearing a mask, washing our hands, social distancing, getting vaxxed…….all of these efforts don’t work unless everyone does it. I thank my parents for getting the polio and small pox vaccines so I wouldn’t have to. Those diseases are gone forever bc the vast majority of ppl took it seriously! Covid will be here forever if the vast majority don’t get vaxxed…..it will grow stronger. This isn’t about freedom its about survival. We have to do it together!!!

When you fall ill due to not being vaccinated and require a trip to the hospital, who pays? The health insurance usually provided by your employer, that’s who. When the emergency use is changed for the vaccine to fully approved, insurers can recoup the extra costs associated with treating people by charging a higher premium. Just like they do for smokers.
Soon enough, the will of the unvaccinated will break under the pressure of those that control the money.
