Covid, the "lockdowns" etc.

As part of the new surge of normalcy after the insurrectionist plague presidency, scientists are now suggesting we wear two masks instead of just one. Well, maybe you can get away with one if you're out in the open walking your dog, but definitely not if you're going to a supermarket.

So normal. Perfectly normal.

I never go outside without 3 masks and a full body wet suit.

Interesting article from the American Journal of Medicine.

Oh, that kidder, joking around with Matt McConaughey that he was "just a government employee on a government salary". Dr. Fauci makes $417,000 a year. That's more than the president. He's literally the highest paid of all 4 million federal employees.

Completely worth it. All those lies he told, like the ones about masks or herd immunity? He was just protecting us, because the people who are paying his salary weren't ready for the truth. We should give him a raise, with bonuses every time he has to keep the truth from the public!

Who remembers FAUCI before COVID-19?
Here's a good video from a man who's made of promises:

Expect to wear those masks well into the 2050s!

3 masks each are 3X the benefit to apparel manufacturers making masks.

Some of us do.

In fact, early on the MSM was bringing that up for a brief instant.  Then it got memory-holed again when they realized Fauci would undermine Trump...

While everyone was witnessing the spectacle of a demented old hair-sniffer and his knee-pad wielding running mate lying through their teeth to 'uphold the Constitution'... it seems suddenly Covid is harder to catch now.

Suddenly, now you need to be presenting with symptoms and have TWO PCR-positive results.

That is so not what that link says. WTF are you even reading if that's what you got from that link?

I'm sorry you can't read, Misty.

But when suddenly the WHO recommends two PCR tests and presenting symptoms for a positive diagnosis, where prior to this they only suggested one? It doesn't pass the smell test.

Meanwhile, in what is surely coincidence, Governor Newsom just canceled his stay at home order for California. That couldn't have anything to do with a recall petition that, last I checked, had 80 percent of the signatures needed to force the issue. Surely not.

Now shut up and go burn down some businesses like a good little brownshirt.

Unless I'm missing something, that just says when the result is a weak positive and the result doesn't match the symptoms, it's a good idea to go back and test again.

Repeating a test for verification isn't a nefarious scheme, it's a common practice in medicine. Of course, there are nut jobs that believe all of medicine is a nefarious scheme...

Except that prior to this, a single PCR test was all that was needed.

My dear Mr. Asshole. First, the study does not say what you seem to think it says. At all. Your reading is, frankly, bizarre.  And when I say it doesn't say what you think it says, I don't mean you're misinterpreting it, I mean LITERALLY it doesn't say any of that. Did you link to the wrong study? Here's a hint, the word "symptom" doesn't even appear in it. It's a study about how to carefully read results for specimens tested using PCR methodology, and how there is concern that they're not following the instructions, and that a second test might be needed in cases where SOMEONE FUCKED UP IN FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS resulting in weak results. That's not "the virus isn't as contagious as we thought" it's "Of Jesus, fucking humans are not following the instructions and we need to issue guidelines to remind people that if they fuck up they need to re-do it."

Second, if you have me confused with someone who supports Gov Newsom, let me disabuse you of that sadly mistaken impression right now. I not only have signed the petition to recall Gov Newsom but I have been actively collecting and submitting signatures, as a signature taker, for quite a while now. I've gotten Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, and even one Green Party member to sign the petitions to recall Newsom. I loath Gov Newsom.

Finally, I run a small business. I do not support any attacks on small businesses, and if you think I had during the BLM riots, you are delusional.

In conclusion, literally everything you said was wrong, and you might be brain damaged.

Someone's salty.

You are thrice-damned; by action, association, and belief. Your words are worthless, as you have consistently supported those who seek to break small businesses, support so-called 'elite' oligarchs such as Newsom, and have raged against the slightest question of our elections having possible flaws and vulnerabilities.

You are a joke, and I dearly hope it was worth it to run interference for your masters.

It doesn't say symptoms, but it does say "clinical presentation", which in context means the same thing. Ghostmaker is right on that point, but wrong about the significance of the two tests. It literally just says to RTFM, oh and if you get a weak positive result, double check it.

Does this guidance result in a significantly different CNN chyron for daily new cases.  I think that will be something to watch

It's not what is real, but what you can make people think is real, that matters
