View submission: Curtis Yarvin Says Democracy Is Done. Powerful Conservatives Are Listening.

I do know my constitution. Apparently you missed the right to practice religion?

It was known, at the time Fauci made the 6ft rule, that the virus easily traveled out to 15ft. We know this because Fauci told us so.

And the mask thing, was horseshit as well. N95 show practicality. But cloth masks, like bandanas, that everyone was wearing g around do little to nothing. Again, explained by Fauci.

Now I realize the hypocrisy in citing Fauci as an expert as I rip "experts". But libs love the expert class, so I'm trying to speak lib

In the late 1800s, scientists asked people to rinse their mouths with bacteria (editor’s note: yuk) and then just … talk. Crazy!

And what happened? “They saw bacteria landing on plates up to a distance of about 6 feet away,” says Linsey Marr, an aerosols expert and professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech.

“But, if they waited longer — several hours -- to collect the plates, allowing time for respiratory particles to drift around the room and settle, they saw bacteria landing on plates much farther than 6 feet away," she adds.

So yeah, 6 feet is not a magic number for avoiding airborne pathogens.

It’s not like if you go one inch further you’re suddenly in a danger zone. It’s more like a speed limit, suggests Dr. Abraar Karan, a infectious disease fellow at Stanford University. **“There’s no data to say 55 mph is significantly safer than 56. But you have to have a cutoff that’s reasonable.”**

Much like keeping some businesses open, it was considered a reasonable compromise, given the novel status of COVID and the inability of the general public to skip a haircut for 2 weeks.

And the mask thing, was horseshit as well. N95 show practicality. But cloth masks, like bandanas, that everyone was wearing g around do little to nothing.

I literally just cited a study stating they provide some protection. If you'll recall, there was a period where it was difficult for medical professionals in hospitals who were treating patients in a pandemic to even acquire the proper masks, let alone the general public. Again, since y'all are so incredibly entitled, we had to make compromises.

Anything else?
