Comment on I have lost faith in almost *EVERY* vaccine
squashkin@wolfballs.com 2 years agoI think we are more or less on the same page, I think some quarantine measures work for like the diseases you mentioned. I think they could work a bit for flu maybe.
but everything going on with covid has been an unnecessary clown show it seems.
There is effectively no real social distancing going on when people are breathing everywhere, so theyre not truly quarantining or any of that stuff.
in a real (or worse) pandemic ppl would take stricter measures without anyone telling them to do so. today even if masks work ppl touch them and adjust them so much that they defeat the purpose. ppl wouldnt screw around like this with something like ebola.

Its in the air. Closing your door and windows is not going to stop it. Unless you live in a sealed environment where no air is passing in, you can't stop an airborne virus.
Maybe you are not aware, but viruses generally are in the size range of 100s of nm. 0.5 nm is the size of an atom. So viruses are around 200 times bigger than a SINGLE ATOM. You can't stop the thing if its airborne. Not with a mask, not with social distancing (what a joke), or really any way. It will pass through allmost everything.
Its very unfair to blame the poor people who tried their best to stay in Lockdown but still got it . Nothing they did could have stopped it from spreading.
