Economies and indeed people\u2019s lives are tenuous without being sabotaged by ineffective bureaucrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t take medical advice from most doctors.  Indeed, most pro athletes do not nor should we.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You aren\u2019t a statistic, you\u2019re an individual.  This idea that everybody needs to make the SAME healthcare decisions about anything is complete hogwash.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Governors and even the U.S. Federal government have been ineffectively \u2018fighting the virus\u2019.  The real question ought to be, <strong>\u2018If they\u2019re fighting a virus, why is a war being waged on individuals?<\/strong>\u2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snap out of it, civilization!  These \u2018measures\u2019 to mitigate the impact of a virus are vastly more dangerous than SARS CoV-2.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mandates currently active around much of the world are not making people safer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mask wearing, for example, has made me PERSONALLY MORE AT RISK for infection.  Once again, I\u2019ve got an enduring mask rash.  Any skin rash makes you much more suceptible to skin infections.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mask mandates may have triggered a permanent plastics allergy in me.  There\u2019s likely no recourse for that, so that\u2019s just one example of completely ineffective mandates damaging my health (possibly with a permanent immunological injury).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I demand accountability for the past two years, and that\u2019s will not expire until it comes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Accountability for thee, not for me.\u2019 -Ineffective bureaucrats throughout all of human history<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Without providing the number of tests performed, case numbers are wholly irrelevant.
