The P&R Plague Thread (Covid-19)

There also isn’t any evidence to show vaccinated people are at much of a risk of either getting Covid (roughly 5%) or passing Covid.  So I’m not sure your point.

Sure you are. You responded to it.

So you'll be cool to keep wearing a mask until all the data is in and we know about reinfection rates.

Cool.

I haven’t been infected yet that I know of and won’t be eligible to be vaccinated till late spring from the looks of things.  I’m cool wearing a mask till then.  
Im also cool wearing a mask at work until my company or customers till me it’s not necessary in their clinics.  I’m also cool with wearing a mask in any store that mandates it.  
 

All the data will never be in until the virus is eradicated, but I will be happy with most current data published

Awesome. I think everyone's going to appreciate your pro-mask stance going forward. You're a good person.

But then you hedged with "where is (sic) makes sense" and here we are.

The efficacy rate isn't for preventing Covid. It's for preventing bad symptoms. They don't know the efficacy rate for actually preventing infection yet.

Regardless, Occam's Razor says trust the scientists about science, not the politicians. It's downright stupid to take Rand Paul's word over a scientist. That doesn't mean we should never question the science, but there should be some knowledge of science backing up that questioning.

This turning it into the common cold like other known coronaviruses.  Hate to break it to you but society isn’t wearing masks forever.

I'm not sure why you think you're breaking anything to me. People need to get vaccinated. The decision on opening things up completely and having mask burnings will be based on case, hospitalization, and death rates. And, as I already said, the efficacy rate for preventing infection is unknown. It could still be high. They just need to wait on more data to know that.
