Could Memorial Day Travel Surge Cause Covid Cases To Spike?
Im so glad that the news asks questions that many of us would have already asked ourselves.It is quite possible that after over a year of the same cycle of locking down then letting out, that people can figure out without the "experts" exactly what the experts would say COULD happen.After all this im sure I dont mind if someone takes a calculated risk and gets sick and lives or dies.Im good with that.We do it in cars, on jet skies, airplanes, walking through town, and climbing ladders and working with dangerous tools at work and have been every single day for a very ling time.Every action has a possible risk associated with it and death is often among those risks.It is possible that very many Americans who traveled on the holiday didnt get sick and didnt die.It is very likely that the overwhelming majority of people who may have gotten sick with their calculated risk dodnt die and wont die of covid.It is absolutely guaranteed that people who followed all the recomendations and masked up, washed their hands and limited contact with others died in car wrecks in the same time period.Nothing to fear here, traffic will be much better and the rush to travel wont be as bad if covid is ever what the news has made it.
Fear mongering at its best.. Get over it..maybe report on how the drug cartels now own the border?
The World Economic Forum (WEF) teamed up with Johns Hopkins and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to run a coronavirus pandemic simulation in October 2019… just one month before the outbreak began in Wuhan.
This simulation was called Event 201: https://youtu.be/AoLw-Q8X174
Interesting coincidence…
The extroverts don’t give af regardless
It's not going to cause a spike. People are starting to realize that being outdoors maskless and being active is much better for you than being indoors isolated with a mask on.
Good!…
Earth is overpopulated and Over polluted!
We are all muntu. I am muntu from sierra leone
Fake news
Well luckily all the hospitals are still empty and we have our dancing tik Tok nurses just in case 😂
no it wont. Get on with it.
Wait I thought you had to be vaccinated to fly so how could it if everyone on the plane has been vaccinated that makes no sense . The media has been pushing this mass vaccination now your telling everyone they might get sick from traveling. Are yall circling back again on your own statements . This is why nobody ever trust what you say because your making assumptions that are not even true trying to cause mass panic on people who are planning on traveling.
Look at Hollywood, Facebook, Twitter, and kneel and lick the CCP for money, and you know that the United States has been infiltrated for a long time. If everyone joins together to overthrow the CCP and let Chinese democracy rebuild the country freely, would it not be necessary to violate human morality and trade freely, wouldn’t it be better?
Brand New Tube, BitChute, Lbry, Odysee and Rumble have uncensored news….video on these platforms: Plandemic parts 1 and 2 …video: Crimes Against Humanity Reiner Fuellmich. ..website: mamm.org that stands for Miliilions Against Medical Mandates
Is at Third world war!(Biological warfare) CCP Virus! WHO=CHO !
CCP Trouble maker! CCP must be eliminated!
only if they start testing people with the PCR at 40+ cycles causing 100% false positives
Fauci just testified that he did finance the development of CV19 in the Chinese military bioweapons lab against Obama's and Trump orders. The Biden administration put a stop to the investigation into the lab. Hunter got paid $1.5 billion from XI Jin Ping. Are these dots that hard to put together? Why didn't you report Fauci's testimony? You need help with basic journalism and you can talk to me or the half of America that listens to the free press.
'Our job is to stir fear.' Media
"…Memorial Day Travel Surge Caus(ing) Covid Cases To Spike" motivate us, the people of America, to redouble our efforts to rapidly find out at any given moment, including even while On-Line, who among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to #ConvinceItForward for them to call their doctor and to self-quarantine per CDC guidelines in hopes of stopping this pandemic instead of having more #MourningInAmerica. Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the B.1.1.7 lineage mutations and others like the P.1, B.1.135, B.1.351, B.1.429, B.1.525, & B.1.617.1-3 lineage mutations combining to render current COVID vaccines no longer effective.
I guess we'll find out wont we
Surge is inevitable. Plane filtration is still inadequate. The humidity is maintained by recirculation of human breath.
Of course.
people who have no souls … don't know right from wrong… people who have lost their souls… are the same way…
the exodus … a journey to populate the earth… but… in order to move quickly… you need to set priorities…
Most people don't even know why we celebrate memorial day unfortunately
Only in the mask loving Dems wildest imaginations. Fear factor
it's interesting that they report that travel is safe ie airplanes have good ventilation… it appeared to me that traveling in airplanes triggered surges especially first and last surges… inside airplane the air is still shared and I dont know filters work when planes are stationary
