Megan Green72 said:I don't get it—can you explain where or when you read that masks were 100% protection? Is this really catching you off guard now?
Matthew Jackson2 said:Look, if these things don't lower the risk of infection enough that we only have to quarantine the one specific stylist who worked on an infected patient, rather than shutting down an entire shift at a salon in downtown Chicago, then the whole concept is just fundamentally pointless...
Paul Wilson72 said:Look, you try explaining to me who actually wears them properly. People are causing way more issues by obsessing over self-isolation than the virus itself ever did.
Paul Wilson72 said:They really need to file a class-action lawsuit on behalf of everyone who was forced into unnecessary quarantine for two main reasons:
- loss of income,
- compensation for unlawful deprivation of liberty.
Matthew Jackson2 said:If the government were actually forced to foot the full bill for everyone stuck at home—you know, those folks who haven't tested positive but are still legally barred from working because of these ridiculous self-isolation mandates—I guarantee you we’d see the rules changing overnight...
Megan Green72 said:If I'm not mistaken, the virus takes way longer to clear out, and apparently, it’s actually lethal for some people, unlike just sitting in your house alone.
Paul Wilson72 said:Maybe go run a few polls out on the West Coast in San Diego, then come back and tell us what people actually think about it...

Megan Green72 said:What specific serology tests are we even talking about here—the ones claiming people caught this thing two, three, or maybe eight times? And why on earth does that supposedly prove they were all asymptomatic cases? Honestly, all I hear is a bunch of people claiming they "think" they had it because they didn't notice any symptoms back then, but now that they're overthinking it, they've decided it must have been the virus. In my book, that’s zero proof. It’s totally possible people just didn't care, weren't paying attention, or simply flew under the radar because nobody knew what was actually happening at the time.
Matthew Jackson2 said:Are you referring to those same individuals you previously dismissed as peddling baseless nonsense when they insisted they actually suffered through COVID-19 symptoms? 🤦
"We don't have a definitive answer just yet, but we're definitely looking at shortening quarantine periods. Ideally, this needs to be coordinated at a multinational level. For us, it’s crucial that the European Union reaches a consensus so we don't end up with one country using one standard while another uses something else—it's the same virus and we're dealing with essentially the same people," Božinović told reporters following a meeting with The Cabinet.
Plus, there are ongoing discussions happening globally. With an epidemic like this, nobody can pinpoint the exact day or hour when someone who tested positive finally becomes less of a risk to those around them.
15:25 - The government in Vienna decided on Thursday to trim down mandatory quarantine times for anyone flying in from high-risk areas. It's dropping from 14 days down to 10, according to Jelka Kacin, the administration's spokesperson for COVID-19, during a press conference in Vienna. This change kicks in this Sunday. Also, per the new rules, you've got a slightly longer window—moving from 36 to 40 hours—to present a negative COVID-19 test taken within an EU member state or an agency whose tests are recognized by the local authorities.
fadedcobra22 said:So, Kolarić is out here claiming they’re looking into making people with mild COVID-19 symptoms sit in isolation for ten days, but if you were just around them, you’re stuck for fourteen?! Like, seriously, who is running this show? Is anyone actually sane over there?
I mean, think about it—if you actually catch the bug, you get a shorter sentence than if you’re just a healthy bystander??
