Here's the problem with your pov Bass....this virus killed people. It changed people, families, neighborhoods, and communities.

Nothing is the same. And your crusade to prove a point that someone didn't make the right call two years ago, a year ago, hell a month ago, is ignorant. Nothing stays the same.

All of us are just doing the best we can, taking care of each other the best we can, and praying this continues to become more manageable.

None of that has anything to do with the tweet I posted. The tweet stated that mandates are not slowing or stopping the spread. And thus, they're stupid. Nothing more, nothing less.

They don't help. And continuing to force them is nothing short of tyranny.

All this stuff you and Madvols are posting in response is completely irrelevant to the point of the tweet. But continue to go off about it.

Agree with your point you make about mandates and trying to stay away from politics on this board but this graph doesn’t take into account the heterogeneity seen between states in addition to key differences among counties in each state. For example Travis county where Austin is located in Texas likely has different compliance with masks compared to more rural counties and has set their own mask mandates in direct conflict with the governor. This isn’t captured in this graph. Also things like the variant, travel, population density, testing strategies among others have a great impact between states.
Would however bring up that your posted tweets raise a great point. Comparing the y axis of cases in South Korea (total cases) and the US ( cases per million) is pretty remarkable. S Korea is a pretty densely populated country and definitely gets pretty cold in the winter keeping people indoors together. Wonder why cases are so much lower over there? 🤔

So in spite of the fact that no real world data demonstrates it, masks and vaccine mandates work. Got it.

New Research Hints at 4 Factors That May Increase Chances of Long Covid

One of the four factors researchers identified is the level of coronavirus RNA in the blood early in the infection, an indicator of viral load. Another is the presence of certain autoantibodies — antibodies that mistakenly attack tissues in the body as they do in conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. A third factor is the reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus, a virus that infects most people, often when they are young, and then usually becomes dormant.​
The final factor is having Type 2 diabetes, although the researchers and other experts said that in studies involving larger numbers of patients, it might turn out that diabetes is only one of several medical conditions that increase the risk of long Covid.​
”I think this research stresses the importance of doing measurements early in the disease course to figure out how to treat patients, even if we don’t really know how we’re going to use all that information yet,” said Jim Heath, the principal investigator of the study and president of the Institute for Systems Biology, a nonprofit biomedical research organization in Seattle.​

Good news out of England.
2 doses of the vaccine lowers the chances of long Covid By 41.1% in adults 18-69 compared to having no vaccines.

HHS had put together a website that people can go to and find sites where eua therapies are available in their area.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) COVID-19 Therapeutics Locator

For example Knoxville seems to have pretty scant resources right now

Don’t know how accurate this is but shows how many doses area pharmacies have received of specific drugs and their allotment. Hopefully we start seeing more evushield or paxlovid sites open up once production ramps up this month.
