    Didn't the UK lift all restrictions a month after the pandemic started?

    Everyone lifts all restrictions every four to six months. So brace yourself. I went to two stores without a mask today. The first one, I fit in perfectly. The second one, I was the odd man out. That store was Home Depot and it was the garden section so I continue to be confused by society.

    You're thinking of England. The other parts of the UK are doing their own thing.

    Wal*Mart has lifted its mask requirement for anyone who's "fully vaccinated". I went in today unmasked and I could swear that a higher percentage of people were wearing masks than before the restriction was lifted. :clyde:

    Wal*Mart Neighborhood Market. Not quite the same clientele. Also the Wal*Marts here are newer and not quite as seedy as some places, such as the ones near my old home in Florida :brood:

    Even though the mask mandate is lifted in my state for vaccinated people, I sure as shit am going to continue wearing a mask to the grocery store and other indoor settings. I've learned that I simply cannot trust those around me to have been fully vaccinated or take the same safety precautions.

    The infection rate and hospitalization rate is still higher than it was in December 2020 to January 2021 in my area, which was the worst we had seen until this latest Omicron surge.

    Luckily the death rate isn't as high, but I'll wait until the anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers kill themselves off before I'll feel safe taking my mask off inside again.

    It is almost like the anecdotal results had another reason dumbasses got healthier because they took dewormer? Could it be possible the people who saw health improvement had worms or other parasites effecting them also? No, that couldn't be it because they seem like the sort who wash their hands, wear PPE, and are well informed about how to avoid a parasitic infection. It isn't like you can get two different types of infection at the same time. The matrix does not work like that.

    A couple of new studies about the origins of SARS-CoV-2:

    https://www.scientificamerican.com/...pport-wuhan-market-as-pandemics-origin-point/

    Evidence points to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market as the source, as originally thought, but more specifically, to raccoon dogs (and not bats) as the species that it may have jumped from.

    Of course the right is desperate for it to be a lab leak (because they think that would Own the Libs, I guess?), so this will be ignored by a large chunk of the population.

    No shit. Less than a month after full vaccination my kids got Covid. Granted they had it much better than I but it’s a tiny dose of an already too small dose for adults.
