Vote Trump or the apocalypse - 2020

And you are the Bob Dylan of the ultra right?



In my case I'd have a warning on my neck, and the topic deleted with - not an image board, but since the moderator in here is partial - probably nothing for hours.

Also it is disgusting to see you guys play the victim card, when you are out in force, shooting with real guns and paintball guns at people in the streets, collectively glorifying a couple that posed with guns in front of a government building:

Again: https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-53980128

You are building myths here that are disgusting. But again, no moderation anywhere to be seen. This is allowed to become an alt right meme board, with the support of the people running this forum.

Also Biden has denounced socialist ideals even to the point, where the left asked him, if you really wants to loose the election on his own behalf in the last four weeks, so what you are presenting here not only is insane provocation and an attempt at a role reversal, while ignoring the current state of affairs on the ground in favor of a fantasy scenario. It also is an utter lie.

All factual, no flaming. Watch me get banned by the moderator by the end of the week for stating this.

src please: thats a little too low

But as researchers like us have learned more about the spread of the virus, we have discovered that the total number of infected people is far greater than the number of confirmed cases. When deaths from COVID-19 are divided by the total number of cases – not just reported cases – you get a statistic called the infection fatality rate (IFR), or colloquially, the death rate. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently has a best guess of 0.65% for the IFR. But current estimates fall anywhere between 0.2% and 1%, a surprisingly large range when calculating the infection fatality rate should be as simple as dividing the number of deaths by total infections. And these estimates are changing all the time. In fact, in the time it took to write this article, the CDC changed its best estimate of the fatality rate from 0.26% to 0.65%.

Fun.

How long am I immune after a COVID-19 infection?
That depends on a number of factors, including your age, as the ICL study suggests. People over the age of 75 showed significantly faster reduction in antibodies than younger people. In addition, the production of antibodies depended on the severity of the COVID-19 infection. Notably, the number of antibodies dropped less among health care workers. The scientists said that could indicate repeat or higher exposure to the coronavirus. So, whether an immunity lasts weeks or days depends on the person who gets infected.

In another study by Harvard Medical School and the University of Toronto researchers found that the highest prevalence of antibodies could be measured between two and four weeks after an infection, but that the number of antibodies dropped after that.

The level of antibodies was seen to remain high for about four months, suggesting that "people are very likely protected for that period of time," said Richelle Charles, the senior study author.

But even this study is no firm evidence of a protective immunity. The question of immunity against the novel coronavirus remains unanswered.

Why does research on immunity differ?
That has to do with the location of the studies, their timeframe and size.

Also companies enforcing masks, wouldn't be a state issue. And states enforcing masks, well you do get due process. Please continue on demonstrating your stupidity though.

I'd really like to know which privileges, immunities, life, liberty, or property has been robbed from anyone by having to wear a mask. My god the sheer amount of pure, flat out stupidity is high with the anti-maskers. As has already been pointed out by several people, you don't see them crying about things like having to wear a seat belt or not use their cell phones while driving. The only reason they are so god damn anti-mask is because of Trump and Fox downplaying the entire thing. Even when Trump was caught red handed flat out LYING to the entire USA about COVID-19, with 100% irrefutable proof, they still believe him. You idiots are STILL 100% free to not wear a mask if you don't want to. ZERO freedoms have been taken away. But you know, dotards fall not far from the dotard tree.

The privilege and liberty to go outside without damaging your ears.

It's my responsibility to protect myself and the people I care about. It's not my responsibility to protect strangers.

99+% survival rate.
You idiots are STILL 100% free to not wear a mask if you don't want to.
Not in my state.

Aerosol transmission risk calculator (Max Plank Institute, Germany):
https://www.mpic.de/4747361/risk-calculator

Click on english at the top, underneath the printer symbol (english translation is available).

This includes mask filtration properties you could play around with.


Example I'd urge you to take a look at:

Click office, and then change the "mask efficiency value" in "event details" and/or "infected person properties" to 0.5 and hit enter. Then take a look at how this affects outcome.

not this garbage again, I guess here we going again....:sad:

WE don't care that 250,000 Americans died, heck we don't care if 1,250,00 in the world died.. or that Children that get Covid might have development issues, or new report state we can see "1 in 5" people who had COVID show signs of mental health issues

All that does not matter to me and @UltraSUPRA, want people to see our Dentures, I did not have medicare HMO pay 2,000 for my pearly white to hide them behind a Mask!! and I don't care how many Grammas We kill!

The people that were having blowouts while the salons were closed were't people actually abiding the rules and telling others to wear masks, quarantine and social distance. Ironically those same people protested after the fact that their own actions caused lock-downs. Also, if the current administration had actually done something for the people that ran those solons and every other small/essential businees everything would have been fine, instead they bailed out billionaires and let the rest of the country suffer.

Those same people were that were protesting were the ones traveling during a pandemic without masks and being surprised when countries turned them away.

No one is actually trying to take anyone's guns away, and the ones with their protection is also the current and next administration. Don't really know what this had to remotely do Covid at all.

Also, why is it somehow socialism's fault that this happened when the US is a capitalistic society?

Absolutely nothing about the meme makes any sense....It's like they just garbled together everything they thought was bad and tried to throw it all under one label....

250,000 seems like a lot of bodies, but that's over nine months...with the highest one-day death total since April being less than 2,500. Even if it was as dangerous as the media makes it out to be, I believe in freedom above all else, other than Jesus.

Oh, also, I'd imagine it'd be more effective to strengthen our immune systems.

me and @UltraSUPRA are ok with the fact that our kids and Grandkids might end up special needs ... ask long as our instagram photo is ROCKING!!
Yes it’s COVID is going to make our immune system better .. look at the plague .. it only wiped a third of Europe’s and now we can never get it again.. and Ebola too .. the common cold is worse

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Jesus did not want us to take care of each other ....no the famous words of jesus “ I’ll take care of mine -Philippians 2:4. Oh wait. I don’t remember the Bible saying that ... oh it’s says sometime silly like “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others”. But it’s not like baby Jesus cries every time we let someone die when we have the power to save them .. no

The useless face diapers are socialist virtue signaling & a political weapon that do nothing other than make stupid people feel safe. More people would of died in the same period of car accidents. Millions have died of starvation of in the third world due to disruption in supply chains. Millions more will die due to suicide, depression and drug overdoses due to the disruptions in their lives and business.

The only effective mask is N95, which people are discouraged from buying or using.

The most authoritarian & aggressive pols are the ones most frequently flouting the rules they impose on you, because they know it is bullshit. They don't care about safety, it's about control & compliance that is why they don't care what your mask is made of as long as you have your symbol on.

Thank god I live in the most heavily armed state in the country, the soon to be Independent Nation of Montana. Our government doesn't tell us what to do, they suggested and asked nicely and we still said fuck off. I haven't ever wore a mask and never will.

This is starting to look like a comical farce on part of democrats:

Biden rules out 'national shutdown'

US President-elect Joe Biden has vowed not to shut down the country despite soaring coronavirus cases, pushing instead for a national order on wearing masks. He also took a shot at Trump's "incredible irresponsibility."
https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-b...hutdown-opts-for-face-mask-mandate/a-55670306

Do nothing nationally coordinated, except for maybe providing PPE to hospitals, try to force people to wear masks (whats a national order to wear masks?), blame the other side for historical irresponsibility.

He backed up his refusal to shut down the country explaining that "every region, every area, every community can be different" and that a single national lockdown would be "counterproductive."

Ah - well look at that. Leave it up to state governors, ey?

Biden said he was impressed by the consensus which appeared among the governors, who agreed to pull together against COVID-19 regardless of their political affiliations.
What a bunch of crock.

Now thats something you needed the Biden administration for...

Good luck on forcing people to wear masks.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

The useless face diapers are socialist virtue signaling
The dumb persons explanation of things is factually false, adding a baseless villain motive (socialists), and claiming an object could be a persons virtue.

Not only are you idiotic, not only are your claims mad, not only are you passively killing people with those claims, not only are you aiming for deviding people for no reason, not only are you meming on people dying, not only are you...

Reck yourself, before you check yourself.

Stop trying to influence the uneducated, simple minded folks, you piece of hurt dishing fear monger.


edit: NYT already second guessing Bidens 'national order' option going for 'options to make it a social norm' instead.

Mr. Biden has conceded that a presidential order for all Americans to wear masks would almost certainly face — and most likely fall to — a legal challenge.
src: https://web.archive.org/web/2020111.../29/us/politics/trump-biden-mask-mandate.html

But a month later the Biden administration has forgotten exactly that, when it comes to - well actual virtue signaling? ("We wanted national order, but we only could get social norm.")
