Masks only help minimize the virus aerosol effect from the infected.
That's why we are calling everyone asymptomatic, so no one feels left out.

I'm not following the media, but rather reading scholarly sources of information. Doctor's research, worldwide health organizations, etc. Am I driven by fear? No. I'm still going to the store, going to work 40 hours a week, etc. I've always avoided touching my face and washed my hands regularly because I have a compromised immune system. I haven't had to change much behavior of my own to get through this.
Your train of thought about the New World Order, though...that sounds like it came straight out of my 70 year old Dad's mouth, and he legit wears a tinfoil hat to watch hours of YouTube in his retirement. He's starting to get dementia. It's not an attack, but more an observation.
He believes calico cats come from satan. Do you believe satan invented calico cats? Just wanna see if y'all fell down the same YouTube hole.
I understand where you're coming from, but basing the reality of potential complex, global conspiracy on your aging father is a poor argument...and I even agree with you lol.

Much of The Bible was also written from a perspective that the world was comprised of the Middle East The peoples living in the Americas, let alone the continents they lived upon, were not even known to exist
Am under the impression that the accounts of global flooding as appear in Genesis are the remnants of a oral story-telling culture that was in north eastern Africa at the time of the younger dryas and flooding of the Savannah and that the rainfalls were so catastrophic for that area that it was actually thought to be a drowning of the world this would also provide an account of why the flood is such a common theme, showing up in ancient Sumerian myth as well
but yeah, do not trust religious "prophecy" too far

budmanman said: Politicians have straight up used the words themselves new world order.
Then you got the Georgia guide stones which have been getting vandalized during the virus.

I am not sure what validates a conspiracy but someone took the time to erect giant ass inscribed stones in secrecy describing a new world order.
The guide stones are my real point of interest here am familiar with them, and think they are pretty fucked up but rather than being of a conspiratorial opinion that they are guiding modern political movements it is my impression that someone had the "brilliant" idea to leave a seemingly special icon standing so in the event of global nuclear catastrophe, it would be found by the generations that rebuild and interepreted as being of more importance than it is because it is standing stones
kind of like how modern scientists still try to dissect the principles behind Stonehenge when it was likely just a societal assurance of a reliable calendar, and thus, an indicator of safe planting times for crops
none of this is to claim that the most powerful figures in the world are not trying to move towards a new world order it is clear that a global "unification" that is really just an affair of convenience for the rich while the rest of us are limited to our existing localities is definitely being pursued
but think the Georgia guide stones have an ulterior, one could speculate as being equally sinister, motive behind their placement it is not so that current politicians can check up on the list and see how they are doing it is so that remnants of civilization begin to rebuild by specific parameters the most telling part of this is the writing being in a sort of "Rosetta Stone" archaelogical purpose of conveying the same information in a variety of languages so that people of different backgrounds can work towards the same goals
really tho, people go about vandalizing them all wrong don't waste time applying spray paint that can be scrubbed off take a pickaxe to the thing and destroy its messaging

I am required to wear a mask at work after I already got covid and recovered and most likely possess immunity. Rules are rules though, whether they have an internal logical consistency or not.

They're most likely not reinfection cases but they're probably not false positives either. The tests for covid test for the RNA of the virus which can be obtained from both living and dead viruses. Which means you can test positive for covid from dead viruses which are not causing an infection.

Having trouble understanding how you can have a dead virus that produced RNA, if it was not in fact "alive" at one point.
Using the term live/dead with viruses isn't really possible. They are not living to begin with.
Are you saying they never hijacked the host and used cellular mechanisms to reproduce?

The virus never produced any RNA. An infected cell does. If that cells dies before finishing building the virus RNA segments spill out.
This is common once you've recovered as infected cells are killed by the immune system.

The PCR test detects RNA. RNA was there and the test detected it. In that sense it's a true positive.
It's more accurate to say that we think of the PCR test in the wrong way.
This is not a new problem.

False positive in a disease sense, true positive in a sense of detecting RNA fragments from a virus.
Depends I guess if we are talking clinically.
Also we aren't even sure yet if the virus can be reactivated like herpes and other viruses that can become latent.

Fine. It's not ridiculous to pour hand sanitizer onto your latex gloves at the supermarket. When I saw this, I thought it was funny. I kept thinking to myself "why doesn't she just pour the sanitizer directly to her hands?" but whatever.
To answer ShroomerInTheRye, I understand that people with compromised health are afraid, I get it. I'm not a conspiracy theorist guy, I'm just pointing out the obvious.
Take a look at what they (the governments of countries around the world) have done to you in a matter of days. When the next virus comes, which it will and it'll be way worse than covid, there is no telling what they'll order you to do, and you will do it. You'll do anything at this point. They know this now and corona is proof.
What happened to people dying in the middle east due to endless wars? what happened to aids? cancer? alcohol related problems? diabetes? I can go on and on.
Where I live, lockdown was supposed to be over today, with restrictions. People loved this president when the lockdown was announced. As soon as word got out that they were lifting it, people turned on the president. Everyone started saying how it was too soon, irresponsible, and that he was making a huge mistake.
So here we are, the lockdown will extent for two more weeks. People love the president back again. At this point, who knows if they will ever lift the lockdown or just continue to extent it. And I'm not saying that the virus ain't real, I'm not. This shit is serious. If its worth destroying the economy of the world and drive people into financial ruin for the sake of health, for the sake of fear, fine. I have a job now, I can survive.
Health will be compromised way worse when people continue to not eat properly due to not having money, being inside for so long that their immune systems weakens, and the stress and anxiety people are being put under due to the fear spread by media 24/7, which in turn weakens our immune system even more.
On a lighter note, happy mother's day to all of your moms. I think in the States you celebrate on the 12th, here it's celebrated on the second sunday of May, stay safe and healthy.

99.99% chance that can't happen with this virus, herpes etc travel on nerves, there is absolutely no reason to think this virus does that.
Herpes hides in the spine where the immune system can't reach and travels out down the nerves from the spine causing rash outbreaks like herpes blisters, chicken pox rashes etc.

Herpes hangs out in the ganglion not necessarily the spine. While it would be rather odd for it to reactivate, we just don't know enough yet. Don't really wanna dig out my anatomy books, but they might be considered spinal still.

Spine, not spine either way coronaviruses are very common and not one indicates that this is something to be concerned about.

What does that have to do with viruses that hide in the spinal area? lmao
The nice thing about most really deadly viruses is that they make people very sick very fast which makes them hard to spread.
Like Sars 1. We didn't have a major outbreak because it made people very sick and die very fast.
50% fatality rate of sars 1 in 65 and older, 15% outside of that.
Despite it being a much worse virus, it had very little impact on the world.
