The WHO and CDC and Fauci and everyone have said that asomptomatic spread is not the main disease vector.  Its basic fucking science.  Virus infects a a person, they get all boogery n shit, and they cough, sneeze, whatever and it spreads... if you aren't showing or having any symptoms as a healthy person its difficult to spread something... the shit travels on droplets (from symptomatic inflammation and swelling of cells) not air molecules. 

As for your second comment, I wholeheartedly disagree.  This is a flu virus not the friggin nazis lol, and everywhere I go people are complying with all these ridiculous rules and its doing jack fucking shit to stop the spread.  The whole "we need to lock down harder" idea is completely insane as doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
You don’t know what you’re talking about. Boogers don’t spread anything. It spreads most efficiently by aerosol spread. You can’t spread by boogers unless you sneeze directly into someone’s nose.

And although asymptomatic spread might not be a huge driver of infection, you’re not recognizing the difference between asymptomatic spread and PRE-symptomatic spread. People who are hacking up a lung usually stay home, and people who see someone hacking up a lung usually stay away. It’s the people who are 1-2 days from developing symptoms who are super dangerous in spreading this. Someone feels fine and goes to a party in an enclosed and/or maskless space, then 2 days later they have a fever. A week later, 10 people at that party test positive.

We don’t need to lock down harder. We need everyone to cooperate. The people who don’t are ruining it for the people who do.

EDIT: and no, this isn’t the Nazis. But wearing a mask is a lot less onerous than wintering at Bastogne.

I'd swear you just spent three lengthy paragraphs trying to explain science to Old 97.

But that would be insane. So I must have imagined it.

How many people do you encounter in Chicago on a daily basis that aren’t wearing masks or are getting in your space?

I never said nobody is wearing masks. Not enough people are wearing masks, and not enough people are doing what is right for humanity because they’re too goddamn selfish.

If you're not wearing your mask in your home, you're a part of the problem as most transmission happens inside your own house

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/06/ny-gov-cuomo-says-its-shocking-most-new-coronavirus-hospitalizations-are-people-staying-home.html

and yeah if we just let the government fuck us in the ass a little longer until we behave, I'm sure they will let us have our lives back... that has always been the case... lol

I think promoting being healthy and going outside and exercising and taking vitamin D (which has been proven to help fight this) would be a much better message from the governments than recommended solitary confinement and counting the days till you get a rushed vaccine jabbed in ya

but whatever, you guys want to do it your way

On the other hand, I dated a biology major who was batshit crazy. Smokin' hot, of course. Evidently capable of operating a Bunsen burner.

It’s not just people I encounter. It’s photos people post on social media of maskless indoor parties they’re going to, or asking about what stores they can go to that don’t enforce mask requirements. It’s the people who still believe this is a hoax. It’s seeing the people who are wearing masks not covering their nose, or pulling their mask down to talk to people. It’s seeing neighbors having a ton of people over (again, no masks). I have relatives down south who didn’t even own a mask until September.

And I’m not trying to minimize the efforts of people who are trying. They should be as pissed as I am.

I don’t understand this mindset. What do you imagine is the “endgame” of this conspiracy theory? What does the bogeyman (I mean government) get out of “taking our lives away?” What aspects of your life do you expect to not get back after this whole thing is under control?

Just got back from Kissimmee, Florida. 😷

Montverde Academy (FL) has several really good basketball recruits (as always) and is only @35 miles away from Kissimmee. Coincidence?

OTOH, you could have been auditioning to be one of many Mickey Mouse characters roaming around Walt Disney World, since it's only @13 miles away.

It will never be under control to them... and I guess you haven't been outside much to see the devastation of small businesses, arts and entertainment, and the spreading poverty and mental illness in our young and old, from all of this.   Must be nice.
