Oh boy, do I have a LOT more to say about this here.
First, let's start with the fact masks are literally useless. It's been proven that because viruses are so small, masks won't do anything to protect you. They can help keep out bacteria, but not a virus. Only a hazmat suit can protect you from a virus, and that's a proven fact.
Also, wearing a mask but no gloves is essentially pointless. You touch all sorts of things which then gets the germs on your hands, and if you touch your face to adjuct your mask you just transferred all those germs from your hand to your face. Your eyes, ears, mouth, nose, any open cuts, even your asshole are all ways germs can get inside you! If it's a physical opening into the body, even a microscopic one, germs can get in. So yes, rubbing your eyes or scratching your ass can get you sick.
Also, clothes don't do anything to prevent any germs. They're not made to prevent germs, just cover our bodies. Have you ever looked at clothes really closely and seen all the tiny, tiny holes between the fibers? That's bigger than microscopic, and again, even if it's microscopic germs can get through. My sister was part of the student store when she was in high school {basically at lunch they sell snacks and such to anyone who wants them} and the teacher had a rule that nobody could sit on the tables or counters because your pants and underwear don't prevent the germs from your ass from getting all over the counter, and that surface becomes unsanitary. Basically imagine it as if someone sat there totally naked, because to germs that's how it is 24/7.
Social distancing is also pointless. Airborne pathogens can travel MUCH further than just six feet. Some estimates put it all the way up to 50 feet, but I think most sources agree they can at least go 20-30 feet. So, why would staying six feet apart really do anything in preventing a virus that can go through your masks and travel 20+ feet?
Now, how about I talk about who's been infected and is dying? The CDC shows that 92% of people infected are 54 or older, like MOST pathogens do. They also showed that 94% of people who died had {on average} 2.6 other conditions than COVID-19. Guess what? Most pathogens do that too. And 46% of deaths happen in nursing homes, but that number is a little inaccurate since someone living in a nursing home and then brought to the hospital is considered a hospital death. However, it's for sure that at least 46% of deaths happen in nursing homes.
The death count for COVID is inflated, I don't know by how much but I know it is. My dad had a friend whose relative was dying of lung cancer and they maybe had a couple weeks left to live because of their lung cancer. They'd been dying because of lung cancer for a while already, but they happened to show a positive COVID test {which, as we know, have questionable accuracy} and on their death certificate it said they died due to COVID, not lung cancer. Sure, COVID maybe contributed, but the fact they showed a positive test wouldn't have really made a difference on whether they lived or died. That's just one example, I've heard other stories from my dad's other friends and even some of my own friends with relatives that were already dying but because they had a positive COVID test they supposedly died from COVID.
Imagine this: you get into a car crash and some metal cuts you so you start bleeding out of major artery. Then, someone makes the cut even deeper and you start bleeding out even faster, and you die quickly. While the person who cut you sped it up, they were't the main reason you died, the car crash was. It's the same with COVID and pre-existing conditions.
Now, let's talk about the economy for a second. Knowing all of that, why should we all shut down? Small businesses are closing and will never open again and people are losing their jobs, just to name a few problems. Sure, the government is giving people leeway, but they can't stay supported forever. We don't have the money in our country to keep funding those who don't have jobs anymore, and what happens then? We have to open the economy back up and give people their jobs back or we're gonna see another great depression. And for those who had a small business, we need to help them open back up even if it seems impossible. Some virus shouldn't be the reason for anyone to fail. If you fail, it should be because you messed up, not something you couldn't control.
