Save this peer-reviewed study from Stanford on masks because TPTB will likely scrub it.

You need to change this. The new normal is going forward inspite of vaccination making the social reasons for it moot. The line going around is still about needing boosters and having to do all the same restrictions despite existing vaccines. I don't know how you cope with this Branch COVIDian, but good luck trying.

4/20 summary for future historians who are taking a break from researching the lead up to the Clownworld Wars and are too high:
- Overwhelming data-driven science from the before times and current are being ignored to pretend masks stop a virus.
- All previous knowledge of corona viruses went out the window in favor of partisan politics. HQC & Ivermectin continue to be known therapies left unused for the tiny sliver of old fat people dying from this "pandemic".
- Decades of previous failures developing corona virus vaccines are being ignored, half of the US population is now part of the largest experiment ever conducted. New mRNA tech has been thrown into the mix, vaxxZombies any month now. Sorry, I mean prion-abled humans, forgive my rudeness.
- Blue states push for endless shutdowns, red states are opening up. All data that does not conform is ignored or denied. Censorship runs rampant, especially talking about censorship.
- The list of wrongthink continues to expand: election fraud, vaccine side effects, dead nigger saints, mass shootings, right-wing brony culture, ... literally any opinion will brand you a trumptard conspiracy theorist. Totally not cultish behavior though.
- Economic collapse inbound, money printing full steam ahead!

I won't change shit in that post. Sorry the truth is hard for you to hear, but only people that are making this the new normal, is people like you. You need to stop being a doomer, and enjoy life, try going out for some exercise and fresh air, really no reason for you to be scared any more, just accept it's all coming to a end and life is getting back to normal.
Does exercise really reduce the risks of Covid-19?

This is funny. Did you forget which angle you were trolling from? I appreciate you arguing my point in my stead, but it isn't the people who are deathly afraid of the virus who have been going out and ignoring the restrictions. You gotta remember that if you want to do this right. You've really been slipping lately. Did posting vaccination locations bore even you too much?

Being smart when you go out isn't being afraid, you shouldn't be afraid of cars but doesn't mean you should play in traffic. But the point is you sound scared of the world going back to normal and scared of the world in general, thinking everyone is out to get you, you just need to step out and enjoy life..

That disease will either be COVID-19 or a coronavirus more commonly considered a cold. If it's bad enough, we get another spike in hospitalizations and deaths which be from all sorts of demographics, so enjoy your 2022 lockdown. This might be the "COVID-21" some conspiracy theory alleges.
I don't believe it's a conspiracy, I believe it's just a mix of idiots seeking power and idiots seeking profit colluding in the greatest by far act of corporate malfeasance in history. We just don't know how many will die.
At least the idiots in Japan cancelled the Olympics themselves rather than World War II cancelling it for them like in 1940. Nevermind the only Olympians at risk are the old-ass dudes who do the skeet shooting, the ancient-ass coaches on whatever teams, and the Olympians who do steroids.
Here's how you hold an event in this day and age. Have a guy in a respirator take temperatures outside. Turn away anyone over normal body temperature. Let everyone else in. Advise people there is a risk of a dangerous disease and ask them to respect social distancing and wash their hands with hot water and soap (a facemask is too hard for people to wear, we know this for a fact because lowest common denominator). And that's all you can do, because you're dealing with adults.
Like the match lit by Saint Floyd of Fent in late May 2020 where "protesting for racial justice" became permitted and these peaceful protests resulted in the mass looting of stores nationwide?
Wouldn't be surprised if there's another martyr for the cult of social justice in the next few months. Blacks hate these lockdowns and nonsense too, and redirecting their anger against whites and the police is important. They hate the vaccines too, that's why they need all the rappers, black doctors, black celebrities, and other black figures they can find to make ads to convince them to take the vaccine. And they have reason to be worried, just see the Tuskegee syphilis experiment. Malcolm X was right about white liberals not having good intentions in mind when they deal with the black community.

Not shocking someone scared of a mask and vax, wants to make this thread a safespace, or as you could call it lockdown this thread.
Lets get this thread back on topic, I know you all like to derail it but this the covid thread after all.
Covid in Uttar Pradesh: Coronavirus overwhelms India's most populous state
ndia is reeling under a severe second wave of Covid-19 and many states are struggling to cope with the rising numbers. Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state, is among the worst affected in the country and its people are suffering even as authorities insist the situation is under control, reports the BBC's Geeta Pandey.
Kanwal Jeet Singh's 58-year-old father Niranjan Pal Singh died on Friday in an ambulance while being ferried from one hospital to another. They had been turned away by four hospitals for a lack of beds.
"It was a heart-wrenching day for me," he told me on the phone from his home in Kanpur city. "I believe if he had received treatment on time, he would have lived. But no-one helped us, the police, the health authorities or the government."
With a total of 851,620 infections and 9,830 deaths since the pandemic began last year, Uttar Pradesh had not done too badly during the first wave that ravaged many other states. But the second wave has brought it to the brink.
Authorities say the situation is under control. But disturbing images of overcrowded testing centres, hospitals turning away patients and funeral pyres burning round the clock at cremation grounds in the state capital, Lucknow, and other major cities such as Varanasi, Kanpur and Allahabad have made national headlines.
With 240 million people, Uttar Pradesh is India's most populous state. Home to every sixth Indian, if it was a separate country, it would be the fifth largest by population in the world, just behind China, India, US and Indonesia - and bigger than Pakistan and Brazil.
The state is also politically India's most important - it sends the largest number of MPs - 80 - to parliament, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi who, although from another state, contests from here. However, this political influence has brought it little development.
The state has 191,000 active cases at the moment and thousands of new infections are being reported daily - though numbers are believed to be much higher - and this has put the state's creaky health infrastructure firmly in the spotlight.
Among the sick are the state's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, several of his cabinet colleagues, dozens of government officials and hundreds of doctors, nurses and other health workers.
Over the past few days, I have spoken to dozens of people from across the state, and heard grim stories.
Videos shared by a local journalist in Kanpur show a sick man lying on the ground in the parking lot of the government-run Lala Lajpat Rai hospital. A little distance away, an elderly man sits on a bench. They are both positive for Covid, but the hospital has no beds to accommodate them.
Outside the government-run Kanshiram hospital, a young woman wept as she said that two hospitals had refused to admit her sick mother.
"They're saying they have run out of beds. If you don't have a bed, put her on the floor, but at least give her some treatment. There are lots of patients like her. I've seen several people like me being turned away.
"The chief minister says there are adequate beds, please show me where they are. Please treat my mother," she said, sobbing inconsolably.
Sushil Kumar Srivastava was photographed sitting in his car, strapped to an oxygen cylinder while his desperate family drove him from one hospital to another. By the time they found a bed for him, it was too late.
When I called his son Ashish, he said he was too devastated to talk. "You know what's happened. I'm in no condition to talk," he said, his voice breaking.
"My wife and I are both corona positive. Since yesterday morning, I called the government helpline numbers at least 50 times, but no-one came to deliver any medicines or take us to hospital.
"Because of the administration's laxity," he wrote, "my wife died this morning."
Personally, it's come as no surprise to me that the state is struggling to deal with the coronavirus pandemic as it wreaks havoc on its people.
For years, I have despaired at the poor medical facilities in the state - it's where my ancestral village is located and I know the struggles of finding a doctor or an ambulance even in normal times.
With a raging pandemic, the struggles have become harder.
In the holy city of Varanasi, which is also PM Modi's constituency, long-time resident Vimal Kapoor, whose 70-year-old mother Nirmala Kapoor died from Covid in a hospital last Thursday, described the situation as "bhayavah" - frightening.
"I have seen too many people dying in ambulances. Hospitals are turning away patients because there are no beds, chemists have run out of essential Covid drugs, and oxygen is in short supply."
Mr Kapoor said when he took his mother's body to the cremation ground, he encountered a "lashon ka dher" - a pile of bodies. The cost of wood for the pyre has gone up three times and the wait for a spot for cremation has risen from 15-20 minutes to five-six hours.
"I have never seen anything like that before. Wherever you look, you see ambulances and bodies," he said.

Stories of deaths and families devastated by Covid-19 abound as infections continue to gallop - on Sunday, the state recorded 30,596 new cases, it's highest-ever single-day tally.
Even that, activists and opposition politicians say, does not give a true picture of the infection's spread. They accuse the state of keeping its case and death count low by not testing enough and not including data from private laboratories.
And there seems merit in their claim. Many people I spoke to said either they had failed to get tested or their positive results had not been uploaded on the state government site. From Lucknow, 62-year-old Ajay Singh sent me his wife's positive test report which finds no mention in the state records.
And neither Mr Singh who died in Kanpur, nor Mrs Kapoor's mother who perished in Varanasi, were included in the state's tally of pandemic casualties - their death certificates did not mention coronavirus as the cause of death.
media caption‘A Covid tsunami we had never seen before’
Indian media has also questioned the government data - with reports of a mismatch between the official number of deaths and the bodies at crematoriums in Lucknow and Varanasi.
Anshuman Rai, director of Heritage Hospitals - a private group that runs medical collages and hospitals in the state - describes the situation as "extraordinary".
"The reason why services are cracking is because too many health workers, including doctors, nurses, ward boys and lab technicians are falling sick.
"At a time when we should be working 200%, we are not even able to do 100% because the health sector is totally manpower dependent."
Critics, however, blame the state and the federal government for failing to anticipate the second wave.
They say there was a lull between September and February when the health services and infrastructure could have been augmented, the state could have created oxygen banks and stocked up on medicines, but they squandered the opportunity.
And with the virus spreading rapidly, things are unlikely to get better anytime soon.
