Assuming you are dumb enough to want to try to avoid herd immunity, we already know what works and what doesn’t. The data exists. But these people that run governments and media continue to claim to be putting “science over data.”

The only things proven to be worth doing to curb the spread of coronavirus so far are:

• Closing schools
• Banning mass gatherings (concerts and festivals specifically, where people are very close together)
• Wearing face masks

The house arrest stuff, not meeting with friends, avoiding human interaction, and all of that stuff has a negligible effect on the spread of the virus.

Coronavirus is about as dangerous as the flu, so on top of pretending that the virus is dangerous, the government is pretending that all of these insane prisoner lifestyle measures that they’re pushing are needed — while, in fact, they’re mostly useless.

Daily Mail:

More evidence face masks help curb the spread of the coronavirus has emerged after a study found it reduced infection by up to 75 per cent.

Researchers in Hong Kong studied transmission of the virus between hamsters, with half infected with COVID-19 and the other being healthy.

They analysed various scenarios in which the hamsters cages were either cloaked with face mask material or not.

Although it’s completely different to how humans interact, the researchers said it showed ‘very clearly’ that covering the nose and mouth is hugely effective to mitigate spread.

…

The study was released by the department of microbiology at the University of Hong Kong but has not been peer-reviewed or published in a journal yet.

It involved two groups of hamsters – one were infected with COVID-19, some of which were not displaying symptoms, and the other were perfectly healthy.

A fan was placed between the cages to allow for the transmission of respiratory droplets from the infected hamsters’ cage to the other.

When there was no face mask coverings on the cages, two-thirds of the healthy hamsters caught the coronavirus within a week.

In the scenario in which mask barriers were placed only on cages with the infected hamsters, the transmission rate dropped by 75 per cent.

Just over 15 per cent of the healthy hamsters got sick compared to 66 per cent before.

In the scenario where healthy hamsters were shielded with a masked barrier, 33 per cent were infected, showing it was only half as effective.

The researchers added that the hamsters who were infected even with the mask barrier had less of the virus in their bodies when compared to those infected without the masks.

‘The findings implied to the world and the public is that the effectiveness of mask-wearing against the coronavirus pandemic is huge,’ lead author and coronavirus expert Dr Yuen Kwok-yung told a news briefing, according to Sky News.

‘In our hamster experiment, it shows very clearly that if infected hamsters or humans -especially asymptomatic or symptomatic ones – put on masks, they actually protect other people.

‘That’s the strongest result we showed here. Transmission can be reduced by 50 percent when surgical masks are used, especially when masks are worn by infected individuals.’

When the initial crisis happened, the logical thing to do would have been to tell people to wear masks. Since everyone is safe in the open air either way, you wouldn’t have had to have passed an insane and invasive mask law, you could have just said that people have to wear them inside of public buildings. That would have been as much protection for the public as you are likely to ever get from any virus, and people would have been allowed to keep their rights and their jobs.

This is exactly what was done in South Korea and China, two countries that have now largely eliminated the virus without ever having to destroy everyone’s freedoms and jobs. None of this anti-social distancing lunacy.

It is only the West that implemented this insanity – ironically, alleging that it is based on Asian neurosis. Asians are neurotic and obsessed with hygiene and germs, but they aren’t stupid. They understand that economies exist and that in order to keep people from rising up you have to allow them a certain amount of personal freedom and basic bodily autonomy.

Americans were initially told not to wear masks, for reasons that still remain unclear, as we were also forced to lock ourselves in our houses as the government collapsed the economy.

So even if you believe that safety from a virus matters more than jobs, freedom and basic human dignity, what is going on in the West simply does not make any sense.

The only explanation for this is a secret agenda that has nothing at all to do with public health.

Mike Pence is standing with the people for once, refusing to wear a mask while visiting coronavirus patients, showing through action that he thinks this is a hoax.

I’ve been largely disappointed with Pence, but these images are golden.

According to the media, he’s basically doing a Luke Skywalker, walking through a hail of blaster fire with a look of determination on his face.

Of course in actuality, a healthy man in his 50s can get this virus and not even know he has it. Even fatty fat fat Boris Johnson recovered in a few short days.

Daily Mail:

Vice President Mike Pence flouted the Mayo Clinic’s face mask policy on Tuesday when he visited doctors and patients the Minnesota hospital, not wearing the protective covering despite the hospital requirement.

The clinic asks all visitors to wear face masks to help stop the spread of the coronavirus, which is also a recommendation the Trump administration has made.

‘Part of our protocol for ensuring your safety is to require all patients, visitors and staff to wear a face covering or mask while at Mayo Clinic to guard against transmission of COVID-19,’ reads the Mayo Clinic’s policy, according to its website. ‘If a patient or visitor does not have a mask, Mayo Clinic will provide one.’

But Pence did not wear one when he met with staff and a patient at the Rochester, Minnesota, facility, nor when he visited a lab on the campus. Photos and video footage shows he was the only person visible who was not wearing a face covering.

He said he didn’t wear one because he is regularly tested for the virus and doesn’t have it. He added he wanted to look people in the eye and thank them. The masks cover the nose and mouth but not a person’s eyes.

Well, covering your mouth does make it more difficult to read your eyes. This is why Asians love these masks.

I wish the Trump Administration was doing more to push back against this hoax.

But I’ll take what I can get.

Now I understand why the black Attorney General of the US was telling people they need to be careful not to wear their face masks “wrong.”

Putting on a face mask appears to be some kind of IQ test.

Daily Mail:

South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa was captured struggling to get his facemask on after delivering a speech on the importance of wearing them, in a blunder livestreamed yesterday.

Before suffering the face mask mishap President Ramaphosa annouced that the nation would be easing some of their lockdown restrictions from next month.

He urged those leaving their homes to travel on public transport to wear face masks, and then attempted to give an instructive demonstration on how to wear a mask – which did not go to plan.

Leading by example the president stretches the fabric mask around one of his ears, but struggles to hook the other ear in the elastic.

A second later the mask rebels, pinging off his face before President Ramaphosa firmly places it back over his ears, this time leaving his eyes covered by the mask like a blindfold.

Twitter humourously reacted to the video clip of the president grappling with the mask which was shared widely on social media.

Using the hashtags #MaskOnChallenge and #CyrilMaskChallenge people shared posts of themselves incorrectly wearing face masks over their eyes.

Today the president responded to the social media reaction, telling Enca: ‘Well for those of you who were laughing at me yesterday, I am going to open a TV channel where i’m going to teach poeple to put on a mask. So you can enroll how a mask is put on.’

African blacks don’t really understand anything about curves in need of flattening, quarantine, contagion, and death rates — they’re just doing what they see everyone else doing and what the WHO and white veterinarians tell them to do.

Did he even put on his suit all by himself?

They must be getting really paranoid about this “coronavirus” thing, hearing all kinds of fake horror stories from white people’s media.

In a way, exposing blacks to this level of germophobia and hypochondria is abuse.

Why should they have to live in fear of the flu?

It’s not as if they’re not used to literally living with farm animals and spending the day covered in cow poop.

How can someone tell them, with a straight face, that eating bat soup and interacting with animals resulted in some kind of phantom menace that’s out to get them?

They’re not going to understand any of it.

They’re just going to be stressed out.

A month ago, the Jew media said face masks won’t help and you shouldn’t use them.

CNN, March 2, 2020:

Now, they’re saying that they actually do help and you should use them.

CNN, April 2, 2020:

“Shucks! We didn’t know blocking the respiratory conducting passages could help to prevent respiratory infection – we thought it would make it worse! Well, it turns out we were wrong about that, and we’re really sorry.”

The Surgeon General – who is black – was saying this, but since when does CNN just print talking points directly from the Trump Administration officials? Apparently, the only reason the Surgeon General was saying this was that they thought they were going to run out of masks, and our country is that incapable of managing anything.

And this is the one time they decided not to be critical of statements from this administration?

They literally fact check memes he posts. They fact checked that dog medal meme, among others. The New York Times itself did 600 words on the meme being “fake.”

This would be like… well, you know what it would be like.

There is not one single thing this administration does that the media doesn’t attack and question, even if it makes sense.

And you’re seriously telling me they couldn’t look into whether or not filtering air intake lowers the risk of respiratory infection?

That is what you want me to believe?

What exactly was going on here?

Were they trying to cause an outbreak? 

With as many articles as they wrote specifically telling people not to wear them, it very much looks like that’s what they were trying to do.

I wrote a good piece about how completely insane it was that they were telling people to panic but to not wear masks, and I showed that every single major media outlet told people not to wear them.

I don’t even believe that the Coronavirus is different from the flu, but masks are a very easy solution to reducing the spread of the flu, whatever you choose to call it. They also have the psychological effect of making people feel like they’re doing something to protect themselves without completely destroying the entire country. It’s a very good protocol for people who are vulnerable to the virus, or people who are prone to worry.

Or just women who want to feel sexy.

Or for that matter, women who want to feel cute.

The fact that the media either purposefully lied to you about this or is so dangerously incompetent that they actually think there is a way to wear a paper or cloth mask wrong and that it increases your chances of getting a respiratory infection should make them a hated laughing stock who people assume are incapable of giving accurate information.

But no.

Instead, we’re continuing to follow off a cliff into oblivion with this stupid hoax.

Unless the coronavirus can be spread by farting, it makes total sense to wear face masks.

If Corona can’t get out of people, then it can’t continue to infect people.

This is where face masks come in. They catch nasty stuff coming out of the mouth and nose of whoever wears them.

South China Morning Post:

Austrian officials announced on Monday that they were making the wearing of masks in supermarket mandatory in a bid to curb the coronavirus outbreak there, the first time a European government has taken such a step.

“As of the moment these masks are handed out in front of supermarkets [and] it will be compulsory to wear them in supermarkets,” Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz said, adding that the aim in the medium-term was for people to wear them in public more generally as well.

Underlining the departure from European practices, Kurz said: “I am fully aware that masks are alien to our culture. This will require a big adjustment.”

For health experts in East Asia who for months have encouraged the public to wear face masks amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Austria’s announcement could be seen as belated vindication in what has become something of an East/West divide in the debate over whether the measure helps reduce the spread of coronavirus.

While infection rates for places like Hong Kong and Japan– where masks are being worn, despite the lack of more drastic measures like lockdowns – remain low, their European counterparts are considering whether face masks should be made mandatory to help flatten the curve.

The masks to be distributed in Austria are below medical grade and aimed at preventing the wearer from spreading it to others by coughing or sneezing, Kurz said, adding: “Currently the infections are far too high.”

…

Hours after Kurz’s announcement, though, Germany – with 57,298 confirmed cases and 455 deaths – signalled it might move in the same direction.

Health ministry spokesman Hanno Kautz said that wearing masks in public may have a role to play when Germany starts unwinding the lockdown measures that are now in place.

Such masks, he said, could help protect others from contracting the illness from the wearer.

Face masks have been displayed in most of the early coronavirus articles about the Wuhan outbreak, but for some reason the West decided to dismiss it as a weird Asian thing instead of a proper and socially responsible response to the virus.

If supermarkets are pretty much the only places people are allowed to go to during the lockdown, it makes sense to make it mandatory for people to wear masks and gloves to get inside.

It’s just absolutely baffling how things are being handled in white countries.

We’re being told that the virus is deadly and that everyone will die unless people stop coming into contact with people, but at the same time people are not encouraged to wear these anti-contagion items in the places where they’ll come into contact with other people.

Instead of forcing people to remain in their homes, governments could just force people to wear face masks.

At least Austria is making a move that makes sense in this crazy context.

Donald Trump welcomed a thirty-five-year-old boy on stage at a rally in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday night after the young boy asked the Republican president for help coming out as a surgical mask fetishist.

“Would you help me tell the world I’m only sexually aroused by Asian women in surgical masks?”, the boy wrote in a pre-submitted question that was read to Trump. “I want to be brave like you.”

Trump, who is the first major openly surgical mask fetishist president, was momentarily speechless. The crowd, numbering in the thousands, started to cheer “love is love,” as the young boy, Andrew, was brought onto the stage.

“Well, I don’t think you need a lot of advice from me,” Trump told Andrew. “You seem pretty strong to me. It took me a long time to figure out how to tell even journalists that I was a surgical mask fetishist.”

Trump, who was then joined on stage by his wife, Melania, who was wearing a surgical mask, didn’t come out as a surgical mask fetishist until his 70s, when he was eating McDonald’s at a press gaggle on Air Force One last week.

Praising Courage

“It won’t always be easy, but that’s OK because you know who you are,” Trump told Andrew. “And that’s really important because when you know who you are, you have a center of gravity that can hold you together when all kinds of chaos are happening around you.”

Trump also lauded Andrew’s courage, telling him others might decide “they can be a little braver because you have been brave.”

He added: “And the last thing I want you to know is even if I can’t promise it’ll always be easy, I can promise you that I’m going to be rooting for you.”
