Hand-washing and proper hygiene practices are typically better protective measures against viruses than donning a cloth/paper/surgical mask that isn't or can't be properly fit-tested. Combining them can be even more effective, especially during a pandemic.

The ignorance of some people on this planet is truly astounding. Goes well with the whiny, irrational comments about 1984 and whatnot.

Yes, I'm wondering why so many people are ignorant of the fact that "our" governments were spending our money in 2020 to advertise that the wearing of masks served only to give us a false sense of security. You though have merely chosen to refer to unspecified people as "ignorant" instead of addressing my point.

Goes well with the whiny, irrational comments about 1984 and whatnot.

Speaking of whiny and irrational, where's your evidence for this comment?

I can't see 2023 being any better than the previous years since this all began.

2023 has been better.

I'm concerned with what's taking place in China now that the country's Zero COVID Policy has been lifted.

I'm even more concerned about another lab leak from one of China's gain-of-function bacteriological research laboratories (evidently partially funded by the U.S. government).

I'm also concerned about the Chinese government's Zero tolerance for dissent of any sort. Your cavalier dismissal of the warnings in George Orwell's 1984 may explain why you're not equally concerned.

Let's stay away from speculative theories and political commentary about COVID. Thanks.

Staying away from condescending remarks toward other posters would be another good idea.

Perpetuating this latest diversion/discussion is also something to stay away from.  Enough already.  COVID is a valid concern and discussion.  Let's not contaminate it with unscientific/unsubstantiated speculation.

What on earth? "Enough already" to what? May I remind you that the job of a Mod is to be moderate and not inflammatory?

Meanwhile I'm now confused. On the one hand you say that "COVID is a valid concern and discussion" even though many think it's tiresome by now. But you also say that "perpetuating this latest diversion/discussion is also something to stay away from". So which is it?

Let's not contaminate it with unscientific/unsubstantiated speculation.

Huh? Which is the unscientific speculation? Who's done any here?

 Huh

You are welcome to have your opinion about moderating but the fact is that COVID exists and we want to discuss it with as much accuracy as possible and in a respectful manner. Without being the free speech police here, we try to maintain that here.
