    US numbers are a Joke .. do show numbers from a nation doesn't pay doctors to record "with covid" as "From Covid"

    and 2) Most of the deaths since December are not from Omicron .. even if we did use US numbers.

    3) Average Flue Season is more like 60,000 .. 5-20% infected with flue is the average.. we will use 20% (really nasty flue season) to help your numbers .. as your going to need it.

    Now tell me what % folks Omicron has infected this year .. and 2) how many have died from Omicron.

    Masks don’t protect yourself from your germs. They protect other people. If other people stop wearing masks, then I lose out on their protection. And for the record? I am against revoking the mask mandates.

    You doubt the official government report but want the government report for flu deaths… what we do know is the number of people dead from COVID is underreported. Because people might die from COVID related deaths, not just the immediate disease itself.

    What official Gov't Report .. and your claim that the dead from Covid is underreported is false .. and the reverse is true.

    Regardless .. where is this official Gov't report with the number of deaths from Omicron .. and percent of people infected with Omicron.

    You can pretty easily google COVID deaths. Those deaths are computed from data for the CDC, at least for the US. But what I’m focusing on is your idea from the flu. Why are you trusting the official government report for flu deaths? If the government can’t be trust for Covid deaths, why should the government be trusted for flu deaths? Why stop there? Why not cancer or smoking deaths, suicides etc? The fact is, the government has no incentive to lie. It’s a National embarrassment to have so many people die from COVID. If the government was going to lie, wouldn’t they want a much lower death rate than say China?

    And nice try but you kinda ignored what I said. Long term COVID deaths are only going to keep going up. And the official numbers are probably lower.

    Your driving yourself in a fallacious logical circle .. What part of US for data for "Covid deaths" sucks - did you not understand.
    What Gov't report that I supposedly trust are you refering to ? and .. to play the kindergarten game . Which one is not like the other ..

    Covid - Omicron - Flu = you are all over the map.

    1) Omicron and Covid .. are not the same
    2) Covid and "Flu" are not the same

    Omicron deaths is the subject .. googling Covid deaths" is not going to help much.

    Then after that incomprehensible gibberish .. you start yammering on about cancer and smoking ..

    Followed by the rhetorical nonsense question that has already been answered "why would Gov't lie"

    I really don’t think you understand what I’m saying. The cognitive dissonance is strong.

    The flu isn't currently killing 2,500+ people a day.

    I understood exactly what you were 1) saying and 2) what you were attempting to say but failing miserably.

    A) why would you conflate reliability of Gov't Data for the Flue .. with data on Covid . 2 completely different situations - that you are obviously unaware of - projecting your cognitive lack of information on to others but calling it cognitive dissonance . another term which you do not understand.

    Do they normally pay Doctors extra tens of thousands of dollars for recording Flue as the cause of death as they have been with Covid ? that one go deer in headlights Mr. "Cognitive Dissonance"

    B) you keep mentioning some Gov't Report .. no clue what you are talking about

    C) You are yammering on about "Covid Deaths" .. as if this is the same as Omicron .. the subject of my claim .. Do you not understand the difference .. Mr "Cognitive Dissonance" ?

    D) Mr. "Cognitive Dissonance" .. is who in this equation :) see if you can get at least one question right .. or understand the question being addressed ..

    Neither is Omicron that anyone has shown - and I have tried to find this info believe me.

    Regardless you are not factoring in % infected factors into your equation.

    Almost all cases of covid are amicron variant at this time. 2,500 people a day are dying of coronavirus right now.

    This ain't rocket science, mang.

    You are the one doing the gum flapping .. opening with Strawman fallacy. Do you not understand there is a difference between "Covid" and Omicron ?

    "1/3 of Covid people are showing signs of organ damage (Lungs, heart, liver) in varying degrees"

    This is preposterous nonsense on steroids .. but do feel free to support this claim

    1. If the government is lying about COVID deaths, wouldn’t it make sense the government would lie about other diseases as well? And if you think the flu kills a certain number of people in a given season, as your post indicates… then how can you trust the government in one regard but not another? The government spends millions of dollars on healthcare related costs. Those flu vaccines? Im taking a good guess here but somewhere along the line? Government funding. Suicide research? Government funding. Heart disease, cancer, deaths by despair? Government funding. So if they have government funding… and COVID has government funding, how can you trust any of them? That’s cognitive dissonance.

    2. Type into google COVID deaths by country. That’s what I’m referring to. CDC data.

    3. You mean one of the many variants… which is the most common now? And it’s Mrs.

    NOPE.

    This mask was designed for people with immune deficiencies to protect the individual from virus and bacteria which could be fatal if exposed. You the individual could wear this mask in a room full of people infected with covid and you would be safe.

    [​IMG]

    You won't wear this because of risk/reward. The same reason why people refuse to get vaccinated.

    They risk getting a severe reaction from covid for the reward of not injecting themselves with something they do not trust.

    You won't wear this mask for the risk of a higher chance of catching and spreading covid for the reward of not looking ridiculous.

    If you are not pushing this mask...or think an N95 is as good as this mask...I dare you to debate that with logic or reasoning. So if you are truly concerned about catching or spreading covid, you'd be wearing this ridiculous thing. But you are not. So I reject your fake concerns.

    No. Not a strawman. Science. I've broken this reasoning down logically. And you do not get to escape with "well they never mandated to wear this mask" because I reject the bullshit mandates as not making any sense either.

    If you are worried about catching or spreading covid, this mask keeps the individual safe. It puts the responsibility all on the individual. You need not worry about your neighbor. But then we get into that pesky realm of "personal responsibility" which is something progressives oppose viciously.

    You are making the perfect the enemy of the good. If masks reduce transmission by a percentage, then that is a percentage less chance of having to deal with long term
    repercussions of catching covid.

    It's like owning a gun for self protection - chances of using it against home invaders are incredibly small - but people still have them.

    Nope. The point of my post is that there is options after the mandate to allow the INDIVIDUAL to keep themselves safe without placing demands on anyone else.

    Don't let the point of my post sail over your head.

    You haven’t established anything. You claim that you have established why some random mask is just as good as a N95 mask without any sources. And even then, That’s not what I claimed in the first place. What I said is the mask mandates should go on. The N95 masks have been shown to be effective in controlling the spread of COVID. So where are you going off saying we need a better mask? When the CDC is saying the N95 is good enough, more isn’t needed.

    You are ****ing right I don't want to wear a mask everywhere. I'm in the category of not being at risk of covid and it's not my responsibility to hold your hand because you are now a hypochondriac. You keep you safe. I've just taught you how.

    Personal responsibility. I know progressives despise that because they love to blame everyone else for their mistakes and misfortune but...them's the breaks. When the mandates are gone, keep yourself safe and stop bitching or trying to control others.
