I think it would be easier to accept this if there was any semblance of a plan to deal with the virus going forward. Are we supposed to wear makeshift masks, some of which have now been scientifically proven to actually make COVID particles suspend longer in the air, forever? Until a vaccine is eventually created, perhaps years from now? Until after the election? It really is feeling more and more pointless. The masks do absolutely nothing if that is the only plan, and the longer this goes on the less everybody around me gives a shit about any of this.

I see people driving around with masks on. I see people walking down the sidewalk alone, with a mask. Going to get the mail, wearing the mask. Like it's just floating in the air, on the sidewalk or in the middle of the road just waiting to get sucked into the air intake and right into your mucous membrane.

I mean I understand in the beginning when no one knew what was going on and everyone was wearing gloves and washing their groceries. But we're pretty solid on the knowledge now, it's not that contagious, it's not that deadly, it's like the flu but maybe a bit worse.

I guess it goes to show you, people pretty much get used to anything. Here, glue this dildo to your forehead! At first it's awful but six months later you're all swordfighting in the lobby downstairs like some unhappy unicorns.

I wouldn't feel threatened by someone not wearing a mask n if I did I'd leave n come back and wash my hands gud both times.

Moms a healthcare worker so it's a given i got a lot of secondary exposure after coming home from the hospital.

I'm not sure which is more disgusting: leveraging a disease that is actually dangerous as a political cudgel, or leveraging a disease that is utterly insignificant as a political cudgel. I'm really in a pickle here.

They'll probably just irradiate everyone and kill people that way and call it ebolav2 if they get really sassy/ persnickety. God knows there's plenty of nuclear waste and I would do it that way.

What ever happened to the first sars? Is that still a thing? Rush played a pretty cool gig in toronto in like 2004 for sars relief\awareness. I think it killed like 10 or 15 people.

Why did the original SARS epidemic come to end? Well, SARS-CoV-1 did not burn itself out. Rather, the outbreak was largely brought under control by simple public health measures. Testing people with symptoms (fever and respiratory problems), isolating and quarantining suspected cases, and restricting travel all had an effect.

SARS-CoV-1 was most transmissible when patients were sick, and so by isolating those with symptoms, you could effectively prevent onward spread. Nearly everybody on the planet would remain susceptible to SARS in the decades following its disappearance.

Maybe sars would have inferred some immunity against subsequent strains?
