masks stop the spread of Corona, just not other flus
I think technically they're supposed to reduce the spread of anything (depending on whose irrefutable evidence from more professional sources you believe) though from the get-go there has been shrill screaming about how it's so very extremely different so that's hardly surprising XD
But, governments and corporations aren't very good at reflecting on their behavior, nor learning from it.
That might have something to do with governments and corporations not being people (despite the sheer bloody minded idiocy of whoever thought "corporate personhood" was a good idea, if they ever come out the bad side of that they thoroughly deserve it).
They're also likely run by people who are textbook definition of narcissist.
Hope small gets over the annoying cold quickly. She probably likes your singing for whatever reason if she keeps waking up, otherwise she'd get herself back to sleep ;D
Yes - my daughter is constantly with a flu, even though "all the precautions" are being taken. It is ridiculous. I have to wear a mask, but kiss my kid and then they all socialize and swap clothes (my daughter and her friend) etc. Need a passport to go to a restaurant, but go their with a group of children... nonsense. Few seem to question the stupidity of it all.
Precisely. They are algorithms, working for profits.
She seems to be sick 70% of the time...
Poor kid :S Is this normal, worse than normal, better than normal, have you noticed her friends are down with something a lot of the time too?
I think she has it more than many, but hard to know - as there is always someone sick.
It's not unusual for that age group even pre-panpanic. I remember a time period where at least one of my kids was sick every single winter without fail, sometimes multiple times (made coordinating excursions nigh on impossible and then we'd be stuck at home for stretches as J was working in the office and the kids were too young to leave home on their own in cases where it was just a cold).
They hardly ever get sick now.
I'm kind of vaguely concerned that the increased sanitisation that's been going on might have been detrimental for developing immune systems but like with everything else we'll see if it's actually a tihng somewhere down the line.
We’ve done quite the opposite here. Never worn a mask, not a work, not at the grocers, not at Walmart, not at fairs or ball games. Not once. No vaccines for the little man either and he’s only had that fever for a day, two days ago, seemingly first illness in two years since his bout with Croup.
I haven’t had to take any time off of work for illness in years where it seems everyone at work has had to take weeks off for illness.
Thankful for all that and it’s not unique I’m sure. James doesn’t understand yet why majority of everyone else at the stores have masks on and we don’t.
Zero precautions. The bots would call us selfish superspreaders..
