Yeah you are. You're being incredibly insensitive and disrespectful. And all because you're so desperate to discuss politics.

The data on N95 masks is irrefutable. You are freaking deplorable.

I've realized that when it comes to death and people dying people often don't care that much unless it's someone they know who is affected.

I think we've realized that nursing homes perhaps aren't the safest places to put our loved ones. I mean people generally go to a nursing home to live out the last years of their life...not to sound cold but they are going to die there.

If it was truly paper or cloth, you (maybe) would have a point. But surgical 3-layer (blue) masks have been in use for decades by surgeons / nurses / EMS...so yes, THEY WORK.

Those incidents that happened three years ago in New York and Pennsylvania have absolutely nothing to do with this discussion.

During COVID loved ones could not see their parents or grandparents who were going to die soon anyway. If that does not put up red flags I don't know what would. Their loved ones died alone. COVID rules were more important than life itself. They dictated you have no right even to see a dying loved one.human rights were violated in many aspects of life. You are going to do as your told.

Graduations and funerals were cancelled. Children could not go to school and felt isolated and some hung themselves.

It was pretty crazy. I know of someone who was 78 and got cancer and his family could not visit him in the hospital. He died there..basically alone.

Other people having babies couldnt have people come visit, some couldn't have husbands/partners/parents in the room with them.

To the two above posts I did not call anyone names. A good part of human communications is facial expressions. You cannot "zombify" society over a disease that, while existing and sometimes grave, is usually not serious.

At least you get it. I had an uncle who used to live in Lexington. He had very few friends, mostly because he had a penchant for telling others what they had to do.

Covid gave these types of people their golden opportunity which they have now lost. It's like taking candy from a baby.

At last some of the people with common sense have woken up and are posting.

They will use another disease in the future to put in authoritarian rules again. It might be in the near future.
