Serious question
Did we have all these trials when they recommended masks, lockdowns, and 6ft distance. Seems like the world should fast track these trials to allow people to remove the masks.

Masks are an admission of our failure to contact trace and quarantine followed by nearly zero testing early on. Just a pathetic role out to identify cases early. So now we all get the sledgehammer since we shot the moon.
The harms of masks are only their cost and remain minimal compared to hospitalization, business impact,etc..
The rest of the interventions have been placed and removed without significant new studies. There are retrospective studies showing both success of lockdown in new york and serious harm when we locked down early in texas to only shoot the moon three months later. There's harm to people avoiding their annual screenings because they're afraid of the healthcare system infection. The messaging was atrocious.
Things like distance of 6ft again cost little/nothing don't do significant harm and are based on a hundred years of respiratory virus data being applied to a novel virus as a reasonably good strategy in terms of harm/benefit. Same goes for hand washing. It's a coronavirus. We know what slows it's spread.

For most patients you don't really need that much intervention and nothing really works with great of evidence.
For the subsect of patients that get much sicker I think we are better at it now than we were a year ago. We are doing a better job of predicting the people who will have clotting problems and giving prophylactic medications that might lower their chance of a clot.
We're better at recognizing who is going into ARDS and who is not. Stuff like that.
But at the end of the day age and comorbidities are driving this ship.
Honestly doesn't change my life much. It's crippling to the restaurant and fitness industries though.
How's that buck a beer though?
That hasn't existed in a long ass time.
Yes
Same here until recently
But now the "cases" stopped dropping at a rapid rate so we may be going back into "High Risk" aka more restrictions
but in reality there isn't anything going on in hospitals or deaths...just "cases" again
I miss Rob Ford. Dougie is just David Spade to Rob's Chris Farley
Doug Ford was cool until about last August. Then he realized the section of Ontario he needs to get voters in to win an election jerk off to the thought of government micro management. It's been fear mongering and data skewing ever since.
Our liberties are being leveraged for their agendas
Same shit different day
Disgusting

Wasn't there some retard running around here saying suicide was through the roof?Despite pandemic, suicides dropped in 2020
For the third year in a row, the Centers for Disease Control recorded a drop in American suicides – a statistic that might come as a surprise during the pandemic.
Got the second dose Friday. Yesterday was the longest day at work I’ve had in a while. And I only worked 4 hours. Body aches and felt like I had a cold. Feeling ok today. Good thing I got the next three days off.
Unemployment-related suicide is no joke, but down here right-wing cocksuckers were crying about mental health and suicides because people were in lockdown (and getting income support).
If you can't go a few weeks without killing yourself because you can't go to KFC, then you deserve to be dead anyway.
1st world problems, mate. The only way I will get a jab is that eventually when they throw me in a nursing home in 45 years, I'll qualify as a priority group member.
We may be filthy, disease-ridden peasants but it is still impolite to spit on us with your vaccine privilege.
Just a worker my dude. Trying to keep all these fat people in steaks. Pretty sure if I wasn't here I wouldn't be getting a shot.View attachment 32295

That was based on statements made by public health experts:
Turns out rather than suicide, they're just overdosing.
Pandemic aggravates opioid crisis as overdoses rise and services fall out of reach
The COVID-19 crisis has overshadowed an equally dark pandemic of opioid overdoses, which have risen sharply since March as the border closure and limited access to services raise fatal risks for drug users.
