[QUOTE="chuter, post: 3402250, member: 13693"] Things that inform my view of this pandemic: The tests have been shown to be of questionable accuracy, even if the majority are accurate. The antibody tests have been shown to be of questionable accuracy Even if you have antibodies, some studies/doctors say they can be gone in a few weeks, so it's basically meaningless The reporting of deaths is questionable, with comorbidity, financial incentives, and other reasons to report deaths as due to covid when perhaps they're not. Some people that test positive never get sick, and those that do may only have mild to moderate symptoms, so why are we afraid of that? Other possible treatments, like Hydroxychloroquine and steroids, and their proponents, get hushed, removed from social media, and ridiculed. There has been a mixed message from authorities in this country and around the world about the need for masks, lock downs, and social isolation. The isolation restrictions are not applied in any logical way; protests ok, churches not ok, etc. After considering all the above, I come away thinking: Yes, there is a virus that can be fatal for a small section of the population. The danger is way overblown and the need for masks and isolation is being exaggerated and used to create chaos, division, and stress in our country. I feel the chance of me spreading the virus, if I should have it without symptoms, is extremely small. Bottom line for me; I don't wear a mask unless I really need to go into a business that requires it. Nothing personal, please don't take it as my lack of caring for you or anyone, I just don't think it's that big a deal, and I think those who fear me are sincere but misguided. [/QUOTE]
