Why is this so hard to understand for so many people?
Coronavirus exists and is highly transmissible
Simple really. America is about freedom. Always has been. Having to be told to wear a mask makes some people feel as if their freedom is being restricted in some way. Using examples like Japan won't work because the Japanese don't have the same ideals on freedom as Americans do. It's really simple if you understand culture. Why is that so hard to understand for people like you?
It isn't. The vast majority of people have not had it explained to them in any logical form. It's either "we're all gonna die" or "muh freedom." Since the media insists on its fear mongering tactics and never facts, or reason, people will never grasp this.
>MUH FREEDOM MUH FREEDOM
I can't stand you faggots anymore. You've never had "freedom" in your muttland even once.
Just a stress test for the Mark of the Beast system.
pretty bad stress test, we didnt need to resort to any liberty restriction outside of "forcing" people to wear a fucking mask
if it was an actual plage that could do real damage to the population you would have the military in the streets forcing the lockdown
because america doesn't have political differences like other countries have, the only place we can fight things out is culturally. that's why the culture war has been going on for decades, and why every issue becomes part of it.
Because conservatives are literal fucking retards
Because everything has to be politicized now, and then both sides go to the extremes.
You have one side who pretends its the end of the world and want to shut everything down forever. The other side pretends its all just a big hoax.
The truth is in between. Nobody has common sense any more.
>vitamin D deficiency
Fuck off with hour psuedoscience Joe Rogan
I don’t wish death upon anyone, but if you’re going to be this asshole at least be in a group with minimal risk of death. Guy was a fat fuck and going to packed pool parties? I can’t feel bad for him.
Face coverings slow the spread, but alone, they do not provide an individual with adequate protection. People realize this, so instead of admitting that no matter what they're endangering themselves in public, they'd rather believe it's not actually dangerous. The more you push that it is dangerous, the harder they push back because you are challenging their conception of reality.
This of course isn't the only reason, but it's one I've observed several times over.
The problem with this is the presumption that you are immune once you've beaten it the first time. Data from South Korea and Taiwan suggests, however, that you are only resistent, not immune after an infection.

Fixed.
Coronavirus is literally just ANOTHER contagious disease.
It accounts for 1% of all contagious disease deaths in 2020.
The # of people who died from contagious diseases in 2020 (through July) is LESS than the number who died in 2019 (through July).
THERE IS NO PANDEMIC.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES HAVE EXISTED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME AND THEY ARE ALL DEADLY.
RAM THIS THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL PLZ
You'll also have a lot of people playing contrarian and refusing to comply just for the sake of having a dissenting opinion. I understand your frustrations, user. Too little time is spent actually conversing with the goal of reaching common ground. All efforts go wasted on fearmongering, spenging out, and insulting the other-group. May the Lord have mercy.
The ONLY thing that changed in March 2020 is that a bunch of goddam Karens took control of the News Media and decided that stopping the spread of an infecious disease that accounts for ONE PERCENT OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE DEATH was the most important goddam thing in the world.
The Karens on /pol somehow took the bait.
I refuse to comply because THERE IS NO PANDEMIC.
The common cold is a series of corona viruses. There's a reason you can no longer google the fatality rate of the common cold.
how autistic is this nigger just spamming a load of nonsense at who?
Zig Forums was all over the coronavirus and knew what the fuck was happening and then the contrarians, chinese shills and qboomers had to ruin everything as per usual.
Google is basically JIDF telling us what we can and can't see at this point.
Also, it says RIGHT ON THE KEK MUZZLE BOX that it doesn't stop the transmission of Coronavirus.
I have an autoimmune disease and all korona did was keep me in bed for a week and a half.
Neets don't need mask, faggot.
I thought /pol knew how to math.
You dipshits got duped HARD.
It's not completely effective at stopping the transmission, so they put that to cover themselves legally.
My body my rights.
Why is this so hard to understand for so many people?
Why does every coronavirus thread fill up with like one or two guys who will have dozens of posts a piece that are all gibberish or out of context screenshots of nonsense (like the one retard who posts that sometimes a test can give a false positive).
Why can’t we just take the virus for what it is? Why do people feel the need to make shit up about it?
Real? Proof?
Top kek.
*cough* Muh *cough* freedumb *wheeze*
japan could have not used masks & had similar results
the masks only protect others, not yourself.
so taunting him for not wearing a mask is proof of vitriol
America suffers from an oversized population of complete brain dead retards who believe whatever facebook tells them.
Theres a vocal part of Zig Forums that is entirely contrarian and conspiratorial, when the media was saying "coronavirus is nothing stop being racist kiss chinese people with tongue." these people were full on.
>prep food and ammo
>get mask
>bunker down
then it hit and the media used it to attack trump and the qboomers had to back their boy don who was pretending it wasnt happening.
Except it's not just your body you'll be infecting. Also we have laws on nudity as well, pretty sure you won't be complaining about "MA BODY MA CHOICE! I WANNA BE NAKED!" I bet you complain about degeneracy or something when naked protesters do that you goddamn partisan hack.
Why not just try and say what’s true and admit what you don’t know? We’re on Zig Forums, it’s not like we’re politicians vying for power.
>“flattening the curve”
>Because the doctor patient’s symptoms met the case definitions put corona forward by the province, the U.S. Center for Disease Corona and the Public Health Agency of CanadaVirus, the patient was transferred to the University of Alberta Ebola Hospital – one of four treatment centres set up to deal with patients centers diagnosed with Corona Virus Ebola in Alberta. Virus. Penis corona.
This
Simple: a mask is not an insulated face cover.
It's literally useless and point of forcing people to wear is literally nothing but feels of security.
The fact that you modern global rednecks, akak liberals can't understand basics of biology & medicine is beyond every non-American.
>why do people on a fringe political board pretend they know more than they actually do and autitically rage at people who have a different opinion than them?
Autism.
>Except it's not just your body you'll be infecting.
Yes it is. If people wear they oh so effective masks and avoid me as much as they can, they won't get infected (and I won't either).
>we have laws on nudity as well, pretty sure you won't be complaining about "MA BODY MA CHOICE! I WANNA BE NAKED!"
But I don't want to be seen naked, so I don't give a fuck about the law on that matter.
>jApS dO iT
Yeah, what else do they do?
Are you sure it's not shills pushing pro-fear pro-mask messages? I see the same pro-mask talking points again and again basically verbatim
It's the flu. Strain of the flu. The End.
Retards aren’t a problem if they’re taken care of and learn to trust. But Amerifags have no reason to trust their media. It’s complete social breakdown
Retards who don't understand the difference between a dirty cloth and picrel.
Why is greentext so hard for reddit faggots?
They don't have lockdown scenarios and their numbers of cases and deaths are comparably nil. Want some liquid with that pill?
way to lack context comprehension.
you EVER see a liberal wear one of those? at best they're wearing surgical masks
>Guy was a fat fuck and going to packed pool parties?
Literally a third of Americans but the bar instead of a pool party.
Like I give a fuck if weaklings die.
And the reason for that? Masks, obviously!
You're a retard.
what if you have a beautiful face and don't want to deny it to the public and are in the not at-risk group and are willing to risk it because there are too many people in the world anyway and most of them contribute nothing so who cares if they die
Also
>1 post by this id
If you cant tell this is an obvious shill you need to lurk more
The organic original vocal opinion unanimously was its happening, from December to mid February.
When it finally started making an impression in the west and the news switched from pro china to anti trump then you saw the qboomer shills shitting up the board with nothingburger.
You can go look through the archive its all there its literally just r/thedonald faggots doing what they always do even though this isnt a political issue other than we should all be pissed at china for releasing a new virus into the world.
>may the Lord have mercy
Indeed. When He looks down and hurts because he sees his greatest creation wearing dog muzzles and being forced apart in an attempt to reach (((herd))) immunity, his wrath for those who orchestrated such events will be swift and terrible.
Remember you are not a beast. You are not an animal. You live in family and community, not in “””herds”””
