"Endemic" means mass death and disability and 19th-century-level death and disability rates. That's undesirable. So... what's your point?

We could stop this with #HEPA filters and #N95 & #P100 masks. How about we try that?

The evidence says that each variant gets more vaccine-evasive than the last, so if we don't use HEPA / MERV-13 air filters and N95 / P100 masks, death rates will go right back up. This is totally predictable.

@darnell @ZeroCovidColin .... Walensky at the CDC told everyone to only isolate for 5 days, when many people are infectious for 14 days, thus making people spread the virus faster! They told everyone to test at home and gave people no way to report the tests, so that we couldn't estimate infection numbers! It goes on and on.

@darnell @ZeroCovidColin

The government won't even require DOCTORS to wear N95s! Doctor's offices are infecting people routinely now, and hospital-acquired infections are rising.

@darnell @ZeroCovidColin

That was INFURIATING. Yeah, I'm completely with you on that.

The US government has SO much blood on their hands. So much. They hoarded N95s. They told people not to wear them! They told people Covid wasn't airborne, when it was airborne! They told people to take their masks off if they were vaccinated (terrible advice)! They hid the "community transmission map" and substituted a "are the hospitals full" map!

@darnell @ZeroCovidColin

Yes, the pandemic situation is not currently as bad as it was in January of 2022, which was the *worst in over 100 years*. That's... not saying much.

If we don't start actually DOING SOMETHING, we're just gonna get another round of this. We can already see the trend.

The latest variant is EXTREMELY good at evading vaccines. It can't evade masks or HEPA filters though.

@darnell @ZeroCovidColin

You can describe what's happening in your area, but claiming that hospitalizations are down nationwide when they've doubled is disinformation, and deflecting when this is pointed out is classic minimization.

The direction is clear. Let's stop the spread of Covid before it gets any worse. It'll get to your region.

So put on your mask.

If you want to be a fool and ignore the problem, rather than just wearing a mask and protecting yourself, that is your right.

@darnell @ZeroCovidColin It's only going to hurt you. Covid doesn't care what delusional beliefs you have.

@darnell @ZeroCovidColin You're getting reported and banned for violating server rules. I gave you several chances.

@darnell @ZeroCovidColin

READ YOUR OWN GRAPH, that is an UPWARD SLOPING LINE THERE

Come on, man, just look at that line at the end. LINE GO UP.

Went up from about 20,000 patients in hospital to about 40,000 -- right there in the graph

Really, stop deluding yourself.

You literally just posted a graph showing that hospitalizations are going up, and then claimed that it showed the opposite. Come ON!!!!

@darnell @ZeroCovidColin

What really frustrates me is that we have the tools to stop #Covid and #Flu and #RSV.

#CovidIsAirborne.

The #respirator #masks (#N95, #P100, #KF94, etc) filter it out. The #HEPA filters filter it out.

This works in hospitals (Cambridge study), schools (AbromeEd, Brisbane independent school), the HEPA filters even work in a restaurant (Apricot Tree Cafe).

Let's just do that. #CleanTheAir. Why are we breathing dirty, infected air? We don't have to.

@darnell @ZeroCovidColin

Yes, hospitalizations are up. Hospitalizations are a lagging indicator, of course -- you're seeing it in NYC first.

Yes, people are dying from #Covid at alarming rates nationwide -- the death rate overall is still 10% higher than it was in 2019! -- and it's rising.

Same old instructions apply: get a really snug-fitting #elastomeric #N95 or #P100 #respirator #mask, wear it whenever out of your home, install #HEPA filters or #CorsiRosenthalBoxes at home & work...

#Covid

When we grew up, I was taught that if other people jumped off a bridge, you shouldn't jump.

Now we are watching masses jump off the bridges together, including the majority of doctors. #CovidIsNotOver

And it's so easy to wear a #P100 #respirator #mask and put some large #HEPA filters in every room.

But no, off the bridge they go!

Well, I'm not jumping off a bridge no matter how popular it is.

@bot

I'll answer your stupid question with another question:

When do you plan to stop drinking clean water and start drinking dirty sewage? How many years do you plan to only drink clean water, before you start drinking sewage?

Awaiting your answer.

@bot

You know what's easiest? What's easiest is to just put the mask on and check the seal when I leave the house, and take it off when I get home.

If I'm running a dozen short errands, I'm just leaving the comfortable mask on. Convenience.

I don't want to be faffing around with making sure I've got a good seal multiple times per day, which is what you would have to do if you pull it on & off repeatedly.

Mask is comfortable and easy.

On a LONG country drive alone, I wouldn't wear it.
