The WHO says it's still a pandemic which means it's still a pandemic. Meatball Rob doesn't decide that.

Do you trust your immune system?

Some things are COVID and it's very common for COVID to cause pneumonia.

You should go look up what Covid does to bone density.

Yes, AIDS caused this as well. One of the ways we knew people were dying of AIDS because of the pneumonia deaths.

You could have just said, "Yes, we are all like this."

Freddie Mercury died of pneumonia too and he was only 45.

COVID pneumonia. We're doing the AIDS crisis all over again.

It's COVID and it's not slowing down anytime soon.

I’d been thinking for a while that it seems like a startling number of rappers have died in their mid-40s to mid-50s from natural causes but it didn’t really feel like an epidemic until I saw this list. 😦

it's almost daily you see a moderately known person with a large following authoritatively say that covid isn't a big deal anymore and you go okay so what studies have you been reading because hundreds of thousands papers disprove that and they're just like well because I think so. vibes alone.

Viral load matters. People who catch HIV don't try to catch it again.

People continue to call COVID advocates’ pleas for masking “unreasonable”.

Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety.

Beyond all reason
Long COVID patients are constantly harangued about our requests for COVID safety. Yet what we're asking for is far less than what we're called on to do to survive.

A lot of us also want you to mask because we have read the studies and we care about you and we don’t want you to get sick! Reddit is full of people who thought they would be fine getting this over and over and now they’re disabled, maybe permanently. We don’t want that for you!

You sound incredibly ignorant and incapable of having an adult conversation about this.

During Will Stancil's failed run for political office, he had his own tweets downplaying attacks on abortion printed out and mailed to voters. He has never learned an ounce of humility since and is a fundamentally unserious, immature brat. Stop taking him seriously!
"Will Stancil Facts" mailer featuring two of his own tweets: "After the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, instead of standing up to defend abortion access, Wil Stancil downplayed the impact on reproductive care across the US."

You sound like Candace Owens.

"It is not reasonable to place any expectations on the broad back of the majority of society, but it is reasonable to pile everything the majority won’t do on the thin slice of disabled people who are carrying their own weight and attempting to carry everyone else’s as they drown."

So you believe the Internet causes brain damage, but you don't believe that about COVID the virus shown to cause brain damage.

This place is a completely deranged social environment that’s flash-frying the brains of people who want to be popular here, and is only defensible in comparison to its much-larger competitor, which is doing exactly the same thing but with considerably more Hitler

Everyone who can needs to wear one buddy. It would help if you researched this before commenting.

"It is not reasonable or in line with how we deal with other comparable risks."

You don't know enough about COVID to compare it to other risks.

"The marginal benefit of having all asymptomatic people mask indoors"

N95s are near perfect at stopping the virus.

"absent extremely high prevalence and no vaccine"

Prevelance is extremely high. Most people aren't vaccinated. Vaccinations do not stop spread or chronic symptoms.
