Now I read touching surfaces is not a big concern, Also, now 26 feet is the new distance for aerosol germs. With the entire world under this pandemic and the number of scientists in the world and the history of medicine understanding how the dieases spread does it not strike you strange they can't figure out what is the safe distance? 6 ft., 16 ft., now 26 ft.
 

The "Experts" don't want to admit they know very little, so they will always throw out "information" that makes them sound knowledgeable. And, (as noted previously) they will apologize for exaggerating.
Remember that silly chart that showed how long Coronavirus can live on different surfaces?
I previously mentioned the signs posted on every crosswalk pole in my area: "Do not push button for the "Walk" signal. Wait for the light to indicate "Walk." The city spent lots of money for the signs and changing the electronics & now we're told it's OK to touch surfaces.

I haven't yet read that, fmdog44. Can you post a link to a reliable source?

Better to over exaggerate danger than deny it altogether.

If the exaggeration's purpose was to be overly cautious to protect us, I'd agree. But when exaggeration's purpose is to create fear to sell vaccines & drugs, that's a different story.

But is it really win. What proof do you have? I’m certainly not taking any more drugs than my usually ones and I’m certainly NOT getting vaccinated any time soon so YES I think the mandate IS to protect

There aren't any drugs or vaccine for Covid approved yet. But when they are, you can bet most people will want them.
After ad campaigns that use fear to sell flu shots (with the same exaggerations), crowds of people stood in lines that went around the block.
Fear turns people into non-thinking robots & sheep & they'll buy anything. Exactly what is needed.

I don't have any problem with scientists changing their findings, as time goes along. Isn't that what continuous research is all about? The information we get is the latest, and most likely to be correct. But it's not sacred, didn't get handed down from heaven, it was just the best conclusions the researchers had available according to the latest state of the art.

If their findings change as time goes along, I say good! That shows they are doing their job. Remember, scientific findings are not religious dogma.

Having said that, I don't remember seeing anything about that 26 feet business, other than what you said about it. What is your source?

I realize there aren’t any drugs or vaccines for Covid but even if there were I’m certainly not going to be the first to try them. Once they are proven effective, that’s a different story but these are TWO different topics.

Sure ad campaigns use fear to sell their products. They always have and always will . That’s a totally different issue than acting like the virus doesn’t exist and there is no pandemic or are you still going with the belief that this is an ordinary flu?

Suggesting wearing masks are safe distancing are NOT fear tactics to sell anything. It’s a provision to protect us. The people not doing so are not only jeopardizing their own lives but everyone else’s.

Whether this virus was purposely created in a lab so that the big pharm can sell their drugs and vaccines is a different topic altogether. The virus is here and needs to now be dealt with. Arguing about who is going to profit for this pandemic, at this point, is irrelevant.

Who profits from this pandemic is relevant if profit is the only motive.

I’m not in complete disagreement here. What I’m saying is that if keeping distance and wearing masks has been proven to significantly reduce this virus , then the why and what motive of this pandemic and who profits don’t matter.

Keeping distance and wearing masks has been proven to prevent the spread of it Anyone following this can make the same conclusion.

Maybe this was developed as a sadistic money grab from some twisted authority. The virus doesn’t care.
 
People can "speculate" all they want with regard to this virus. Personally, I would rather exercise Caution than to "poo poo" this illness. I will wear a mask when out in public, and stay well away from anyone failing to do so.

Hey, Win, for once I agree with you!

I don't begrudge any amount of profit that will be made by the drug company that comes up with a vaccine or a cure. Fortunes have been made by providing things of a lot less value to mankind.
 
Speaking of ad campaigns, here is another creative one:
Yesterday, it was reported that "Now is the time for everyone to make sure they get a flu shot because it's difficult to distinguish Covid-19 from the flu and we don't want hospitals to be overrun with flu victims." (Did they forget what they've previously told us - that this isn't like the flu; it's much more serious & deadly?)
Every product/drug/vaccine/useless weight loss supplement/vitamin pill is now "more important than ever to boost your immune system & stay healthy."
UV light wands that kill viruses.
And those "Special masks infused with copper," LOL.
Yeah....show that you're "Taking this seriously" by buying whatever we're selling. Don't think. Just buy.
Ba.a.a.a.Ba.a.a.a..Ba.a.a.a.Like sheep.

May I interrupt this thread for non covid19 question?

Since @win231 mentioned street signals to indicate "Walk" or "Do NOT Walk" when I see it's safe to cross the street with vehicles stopped, I cross the street even with "Do NOT Walk" signal. Is that jaywalking? Please tell me now before I do it again and get caught. TIA

Proceed to regular programming.

Absolutely - it's the crime of the century. :)
