I feel like you're adding a dimension to what I said. Never meant to say that wearing masks are universally bad for you, they have their place for the right purposes. But an eight hour wear time while sitting behind a desk is not a historically normal practice, and who knows if there are long term effects that have yet to be determined? I'm just frustrated that supposedly competent authorities at CDC/NIH don't know better than to impose one-size-fits-all solutions on the general population


Yeah, i was kinda playing with you. I respect your opinions, and i know you know that, so i knew you would take it well. I personally think masking has a time and a place, my friend, and i feel your pain about wearing them outside of those times/places for me.

So Mormad, are things finally starting to break there? Still fighting the backlog in the halls?


Things are slowly receding. I don't have specific numbers for you yet. They cancelled elective surgery for a fifth week in a row, but my group decided enough was enough, our pts have suffered long enough, and made our cases Priority One and we did 8 surgeries at the Big House today. I did 3 big spines today... It feels good to be back, friend.

Good to hear. I am sure the spines are grateful.

Hopefully we see a long waning and the rest of the electives and non-COVID care can get their needs addressed.

Yes, Chairman Roy's blue county minions will be feeling very isolated soon if they don't join the mainstream. I guess my two years of telework punctuated by an occasional visit to the workplace is coming to an end. Goodbye easy chair, TV, day trading, afternoon naps, and saved gas and wear and tear on my vehicles.

That has been the one positive of the pandemic. All the people out on the roads during the work week. Admittedly that has changed somewhat over the last year. It was kind of nice though navigating the plague like virus wastelands without a lot of traffic.

Edit to add… the best part was the No school buses. The deprivation of education and social contact for children was hugely beneficial to me.

Probably, but the fatigue has probably set in everywhere as well. I don't think there's any polling that would show support for continued COVID restrictions unless something significant happens RE: variants that are super contagious and super deadly as compared to where we're at currently.

It had to happen at some point. If it was a total conspiracy that restrictions were terrible no matter what, you would've seen this happening even during the apex of the Omicron wave. Instead we're hopefully on the final downslope, you're seeing other Western nations drop all their restrictions, and the fatigue has set in across political lines.

The hilarious part of all this will be the excuse "The science has changed" and that will be their get out of jail free card.

Anytime I hear that, I just want to say "**** off". The science didn't change, you were wrong. Own it, accept it, move on. We have all been wrong at times... but it has been obvious since very early on that these closures and mandates were failed policies and yet people dug in because of politics.

And yet still.... they will fall back on "The science has changed" rather than provide a mea culpa. We will be less likely to repeat these mistakes if policy makers just say admit the policies failed because they were bad NOT because of some mystical science change.

Mayor of Boston said earlier this week that she expects to return to mask mandates and restrictions again in the late Fall/Winter. Some of them will never let go of the notion they can control what happens with mandates.

We know the school masking guidelines from the CDC were directly related to pressure they received from the teacher's unions. In fact, I do expect the teacher's unions to push back hard against lifting mask restrictions in those states and areas where they are most strong (California, Chicago, NYC). What politicians are doing now at the state level is they are lifting mask mandates, but leaving it up to local school boards and majors to make their own decisions. This is why I am taking a wait and see attitude on school masking. For example, the head of the national teacher's union tweeted out a couple of days ago that the lifting of mask restrictions in Illinois does not impact the agreement on masking they have with the Chicago schools.

The science has not changed. The only thing that has changed is the polling.

Not sure why you think I have any fondness for Dr. Fauci. I have been consistent in my exasperation for the different lockdowns we go through based on the CDCs advice, especially with kids in school and daycare.

The mayor communicated yesterday that they are reviewing it, but did not expect anything to change for the next couple of weeks. Sounds like March - maybe? Also, this would be independent of the school decisions. Last week, the Wake Co. school board decide to continue masking for the rest of February and they will not address it again until early March. Realistically, I do not see Wake Co. schools changing the mask mandate policy until mid-March at the earliest. I would not be surprised it they wait until end of March or April. Remember, this is the group of clowns that debated masking 2 year olds.

I eat and do some shopping in Wake Forest (15 minutes away) and when I do, I never wear a mask. There are also a couple of restaurants I go to in Raleigh that do not require masking - no sign on door and some of the workers do not wear masks. Some mask to enter and remove it after entering.

I did travel to Winston-Salem on Sunday and took my son to lunch. The restaurant we went to did not have signs on the door, so we entered maskless and found it to be pretty much mask-free. A few servers had masks, but many did not. There is another restaurant we go to in Winston (closed on Sunday) and we never wear a mask there and they have no issue with it.

Until mask mandates go away for kids in schools, they are not gone and the politicians have not done anything. Do not reward them or give them grace. They do not deserve our grace and understanding for what they have done to kids.

Until the politicians and healthcare advisors admit they were wrong, you can expect mandates to come back again in the future. The only way to get away from future mandates is to do away with the politicians that enacted them and to do this, the only was is at the ballot box. As I said weeks ago, the ballot box will be the only way we deal with this in the future.

On the heels of a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that put the kibosh on a statewide school masking mandate, lawyers in the Keystone State are trying a new tack to reinstate a classroom mask requirement suing individual school districts in federal court on the grounds that they are failing to protect medically vulnerable students.

Over the last month, at least four nearly identical lawsuits have been filed in Pittsburgh- and Philadelphia-area school districts that recently made masks optional, accusing them of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, a civil-rights law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability.

The lawsuits, all filed on behalf of unnamed students with disabilities, claim that not requiring universal masking forces parents of "medically fragile" children to make a "shockingly unfair or unjust decision of deciding whether to pull their children out of in-person learning, causing mental harm and havoc on the child and family, or face the quantifiably increased risk of physical harm caused by exposure to severe illness or death as a result of COVID-19."
Some folks refuse to let go of their masks and don't want others to be allowed to either.

Yep, the hard blue jurisdictions in VA are still fighting like freaks to keep masks on little kids with no science to back them. But it will coming to an end pretty soon. If normalcy does not win in the courts (it probably will), a Dem state Senator will join R's to pass a law giving parents the option to mask or not mask their children. The sick part about this whole mess is that mask less kids will be targeted by angry lefty teachers.

Life comes at people pretty fast. I think some politicians are going to have a serious case of whiplash. Remember, it was not the science that caused the CDC to recommend masking students. It was a representative of the teacher's union that sat on the policy advisory board for the CDC.

Mad Science: Researchers Now Putting COVID mRNA Vaccines Into Vegetables To Vaccinate The Unvaccinated

Researchers are now experimenting with the idea of placing mRNA vaccines in lettuce and other agricultural crops, reports say.

The National Science Foundation is funding this study, having committed more than half a million dollars in grant for the mRna-in-lettuce initiative, NOQ Report revealed.

[...]

NOQ Report indicated that one possible motive behind this project is the fact that many do not want to get vaccinated against COVID-19. By putting the vaccines in the food people eat (including tomatoes, as seen in the video above), more can get inoculated - especially those who refuse the jab but don't know the salad on their table is enough to vaccinate them.

More plant-based vaccines being tested

According to a report published last month by DW News, scientists claim that rice, corn, potatoes, and lettuce may all be utilized to manufacture antibodies. Biotech companies are reportedly conducting clinical studies with their plant-based medicines or are seeking permission from regulatory authorities in order to fight diseases such as "ebola, norovirus, and COVID-19."

In the Wake Co. area, Johnston County just voted to make masks optional in schools, starting on Feb. 21. One school board member voted to keep masks in place. They did include a stipulation that says if 4% of the students/staff are in isolation, masks go back in place for 10 days.

In Wake County, Raleigh and Wake County voted to keep the mask mandate for at least two more weeks and after this period of time, they will discuss it again. I am going to have fun voting this November. It does not matter who is running, since I will not be voting for a single incumbent in any of the city or county elections.

I so hope they are at my polling place to campaign on election day, so I can tell them to their face that they are too stupid and corrupt to get my vote.
