“Will a social credit score become the ‘new normal’ after all of the dissidents are killed off or in hiding? Nobody says anything because they are afraid.”

Being able to never leave your home is becoming a new status symbol. I was in a work meeting, and some company CEO was mentioning (bragging really) that every day blends into the next because he never leaves his home and gets everything delivered to him.

Our Betters should consider themselves very lucky this thing wasn't the plague, because if it was and "essential" workers were dropping like flies the Amazon delivery driver would probably just as soon drag these people our of their homes as deliver their shit.

I acknowledge that my days blend together as I don't ever leave the house other than to spend my Sundays at my sister's house, but I sure as fuck ain't proud of that, I hate it

Apparently there are a fair number of people who are perfectly happy being zoo animals.

In the Before Time, the argument was that society was already too clean and that society's need to disinfect everything was actually weakening our immune system; and that we needed to (within reason; no one was saying we needed to bathe in raw sewage or anything like that) have a bit more dirt in our life.

If that is true, I can't imagine that the even greater levels of disinfecting society is doing will have a positive effect on our immune system. But it makes P&G happy because it lets them sell more disinfectants, and it makes Pfizer happy because they can sell more vaccines and medications to compensate for our weakened immune systems.

our weakened immune systems.

Not weakened, untrained. The idea is that a child, not allowed to play in the mud and get the occasional bout of something like impetigo, never gets exposed to the various "types" of foreign invaders an average human experiences, from harmless to dangerous. As a result, the body never learns what's genuinely a threat and goes DEFCON 1 as soon as it encounters novel but harmless stimuli, resulting in allergies that are in some cases fatal.

Yes, I think there is something behind that, given all the allergies and non-viral-origin immune problems people of the younger generations seem to have more of nowadays. Not to mention those allergies that are known to be caused by lack of exposure to the thing (like peanuts, recently). We used to play out in the dirt and make mud pies (and see if we could trick any boys that happened to be around into eating them), get our knees skinned, and all kinds of stuff, but I guess kids started staying indoors more after the 90s.

Taking pills every day used to be for old people.

Look, maybe I had pica and liked eating them.

I've changed nothing and still adhere to the old ways. My offspring will be gods among men...

Same. I've never particularly liked cleaning, so I always used "I'm just trying to keep my immune system strong" as a rationalization for why I don't. The sole exception being I do sanitize kitchen surfaces where I've handled raw meat.

The glove trash is great because you can tell if people did the doffing ritual correctly. They never do. That it is a fuck load of carbon emissions for no protection.

A cluster randomised trial of cloth masks compared with medical masks in healthcare worker is one which showed worse outcomes for healthcare workers wearing cloth masks when compared against the control group of "standard hospital practice" (which included periods of time when medical masks were worn and when they weren't).

This study is the first RCT of cloth masks, and the results caution against the use of cloth masks. This is an important finding to inform occupational health and safety. Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection.

As recently as October 2019 WHO guidelines did not recommend masks of any sort for "epidemic and pandemic influenza"

Ten RCTs were included in the meta-analysis, and there was no evidence that face masks are effective in reducing transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.

There is a moderate overall quality of evidence that face masks do not have a substantial effect on transmission of influenza.

Reusable cloth face masks are not recommended. Medical face masks are generally not reusable, and an adequate supply would be essential if the use of face masks was recommended. If worn by a symptomatic case, that person might require multiple masks per day for multiple days of illness.

Some Danish researchers did a more recent study that journals are refusing to publish. From that you can probably guess they came to similar conclusions as the 2014 study and 2019 WHO guidelines.

Well since the feminazis want men dead, why not just make them mandatory for women. There's another society that they love that's done just that.

Leftist women have never seen a kind of tyranny they don't like.

Women in general aren't happy doing anything unless they can force other people to do it, too.
