#1 "Don't let facts get in the way of spreading panic."

But who's facts when the science is incomplete?

#2 #1 What facts? Herd immunity is not a fact - it's a mathematical artifact. Ditto for: asymptomatic/symptomatic ratio, age selectivity, Masks being ineffectual. And now we have permanent immunity heading for the Moon.

#3 Again, you choose to believe what you read, regardless how contrary the rendition.

I wear a mask for others, besides tides the moon has little influence on me, ratios don't matter when you're sick and I don't have any kids.

Stop clinging to false hopes and live with it.

#5 One "scientific" study says coffee/caffeine is bad for you. Another study says it is good for you.

So, there you have it. Just "follow the science".

#6 You want to buy a car, how do you decide?

#7 Do your research (e.g., Consumer Reports, reviews, etc.), then decide on personal preference (looks, size, AM radio, etc.), then test-drive, then confirm with wife.

#8 Ditto with "scientific" papers. Do your research.

#9 Then let me decide for myself then. The science says the inhalation of tobacco products can cause cancer, but people do it anyway. Their choice, and that's o.k. (and legal).

#10 ^Because, unlike with smoking - today we know that the results on secondhand smoke were fake, when you get Covid 19 you can infect others several days before developing symptoms.

#13 p.s. Who has coronavirus and where did they catch it?

The majority (67%) of Israelis caught it at home. It's only for July 10 to 16.

Which means, you go out. You caught it. You give it to your family.
