Re: Coronavirus
 

Herd immunity does exist, but only for specific situations. Looking at an article from Wikipedia, smallpox is a disease that has been eradicated due to people being immune to it via vaccination.
Some of the reasons I could think of for why people die from flu include the following:
- Not having taken a flu vaccine
- Not taking a flu vaccine again after the effects of the flu vaccine one's taken previously wears out
- Not practicing good personal hygiene
Not all vaccines are 100% effective, and they don't keep us protected forever, so we couldn't put the blame entirely on vaccines. We could do something to protect ourselves as well.
If everyone in the world wears masks, practises good hygiene, minimizes group interactions and avoid going into groups that much, perhaps no one would get infected by the Coronavirus. However, this is obviously not the case, as there's still people who don't do the aforementioned actions to protect themselves and others. I don't think everyone would get it, we just need to continue staying strong and hold out until the pandemic has passed.
For now, this is quite true unfortunately. But if everyone works together and eradicate this lethal virus, perhaps we could go back to our old ways someday...

Huh.

Vaccines aren't a perfect panacea for diseases. They are just one clinically and scientifically proven solution. Of course, vaccines could lead to side effects amongst certain people. But, that is not why we should ridicule them for being dangerous or 'terrible for our bodies.'
You're just lucky.

Re: Coronavirus
 

the whole "new world order" thing is an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory btw

Re: Coronavirus
 

I interpreted "new world order" as "a new way of living" without looking up what it actually means lol. I know nothing about conspiracy theories.

Re: Coronavirus
 

it's been pretty good actually. I get to wear a mask that hides my ugly fuckin face, I'm eating out less, ironically spending more time with family, working out more, playing less vidya, etc.

Re: Coronavirus
 

the fuck kinda bullshit are you even talking about, "back to the old ways" bitch you're a year younger than me. our "old ways" are getting coddled by our parents, shitposting on ffr, and smashing our keyboards to rhythm games in complete and utter ignorance with regards to what's happening in our country. what "old ways" could you possibly be talking about?

Re: Coronavirus
 

This + blaming the Jews for the "New World Order" = a slight variation of how everyone is interpreting your moronic horseshit. Are you Afrobean with dementia or something?

Re: Coronavirus
 

Old ways of not social distancing, wearing a mask 24/7, being a fucking pussy and avoiding everyone(including fucking family) and actually being able to do stuff without being scared. The flu has been around forever and nobody went around wearing a mask because of it or being scared of it even though theyre just as likely to get it as any other virus lmao

Re: Coronavirus
 

I see my family every weekend, are you using coronavirus as a scapegoat so you dont have to interact with your family or something? man I cant imagine hating my family that much lmao

Re: Coronavirus
 

Lmao I live with and see 6 others every day...you're the one escaping people, dude

Re: Coronavirus
 

Ever since the rona happened... Nothings really changed for me besides now being socially aware I suppose.

The mask thing and the whole social distancing move really is just common sense until an effective vaccine happens. Not sure where this "new world order" is coming from, sk8.

Re: Coronavirus
 

i want to be coddled by my parents
adulting is hard and brutal

Re: Coronavirus
 

just kidding my parents are dead

Re: Coronavirus
 

Excuse me. I'll have you know I was a giant fucking pussy that avoided everyone and found solace in my apartment alone well before the first case in Wuhan was identified.

Re: Coronavirus
 

herd immunity is possible. The problem is that most people are easily frightened and are quick to panic, so most of them don't even THINK about tackling the problem head on at least according to my roommate. Whether it's true or not I don't know nor care.

Re: Coronavirus
 

laughed way too fucking hard at this

Re: Coronavirus
 

Re: Coronavirus
 

damn that sucks bro but on the bright side you don't have to deal with the whole issue of trying to see them during a pandemic

Re: Coronavirus
 

Fake death data from the CDC, coupled with wild guesstimates from experts, and the relentless barrage of fear porn the mainstream media subjects Americans to around the clock, have been getting results yes.

The CDC not telling the truth to Americans is no conspiracy theory: it’s right out there in the open for everyone to see. The CDC openly admits that it is fudging the COVID-19 death figures.

You could see how these statistics have been made to look really scary when it is so easy to add false numbers to the official database. Those false numbers are sanctioned by the CDC.

Beyond including people with the virus who clearly didn’t die from it, the numbers are inflated by counting people who don’t even have the virus. New York has classified many cases as coronavirus deaths even when postmortem tests have been negative.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Okay. but you missed the "without being scared" bit. Doing so before all of this by choice and being so scared that you wont interact with anyone because you are afraid you will pass on some silly virus are completely different.
