I heard that the new strained is here in the USA - came from Europe!
Yikes!
Here we go again! We will never rid of this virus
The flu mutates and changes every year. The flu is a Coronavirus. A lot of people are confused and I blame that on the CDC and WHO and the media. Any respiratory illness is considered coronavirus. ANY of them. ALL of them. Covid19 is like the H1N1 a few years ago. It is just a new respiratory illness. And yes it will mutate and change and be here every year. The thing is this virus has over a 98% recovery rate. Yes some people die from it. But people also die from the flu.
As far as a mask protecting you - do some research on your own. The virus is 750 to 1000 times smaller than the pores in the material in the mask. The virus can go right through the mask. But if people want to wear one to feel more safe that is fine. If you listen to the CDC they have changed their stance and now say the virus cannot live on surfaces and there is no need to be wiping off door handles and to be afraid to touch what somebody else has touched. But after mentally conditioning people's minds for 9 months you can't get them to see what they have been told for the past year was a lie.
I have seen several videos online where people physically attack someone not wearing a mask. I don't really get this line of thinking. It's nothing to you (not YOU specifically) what others are doing. Stay away from them.
Mind your own business. Most people in my area mind their own business. Some wear a mask and some don't. Occasionally you will have some random person say something smart but they usually back down pretty quickly if the person they try to attack doesn't back down.
As far as the other thread you started yes you have a right to be upset if someone comes to your home or a family gathering and they are positive. But if it had been 2 week she most likely was no longer positive or a threat. But if she was still sick and suppose to be quarantined that is a different story. I know a couple of people who were sick and positive with this virus and they were out all over town. That is different and that makes me mad. You also have to remember this time of year a lot of people may sniffle in colder weather and it is not a big deal. And contrary to what the CDC says we have not eradicated the common cold or the flu. lol The only reason there are no cases of that this year is because they call everything covid because they want to keep those numbers up.
