Covid Lockdowns And Polyvagal Theory

I see people still wearing mask when i go shopping, they look fearfull.....so the wrong perception or thought is boosted too much, to level where it can actually hurt their health.

I tend to wear a mask in public for two reasons and neither have anything to do with the virus. One, I like how a mask, sunglasses and hat almost completely obscure my identity. The other reason is that I am hoping someone puts themselves in a situation where I can break their jaw. Sadly, no takers on that yet.

There may be many reasons why people choose to wear masks out in public.

Sorry, but I found the height of the COVID pandemic to be quite exciting, and I enjoyed the challenges it presented immensely.

It is said that you never know what you are truly made of until you face circumstances which threaten your very existence.

A worldwide outbreak of an unknown, potentially deadly, virus checked that box for me.


Sadly, it appears that for many people, what turned out to be a "meh" disease has been just too much for their poor psyches to handle.

Why would a useless mask relieve fear? They prevent a sick person from spreading their spit around they don’t protect anyone healthy.

Washing hands on the other hand…is very effective.

I guess ignorance is bliss for the common idiot.

It's common sense, which may be lacking here and there. The mask has also been touted as keeping people from contracting the virus and data suggests that was the case, because influenza and RSV became almost non-existent when people first started wearing masks en masse at the beginning of the pandemic.

If a person believes the mask is a protective tool then wearing a protective tool will give the impression of being protected, thereby alleviating a fear. Not rocket science.

Did quarantines help with Spanish flu ?


I remember seeing studys, where they do every possible trick to get the infection spread then from sick to healthy, but failed . I posted it in ATS also, but i dont remember where/date .

During the Spanish Flu, they mostly tried to impose masks in some cities.
There NEVER has been a concerted effort to lockdown, litterally shut down the entire planet trade, work, everything
That is a LIE, a weak-minded attempt to rewrite history

History shows what works - quarantine the infected and only the infected

Sweden did not lockdown, and moved through the Covid crisis without destroying its' economy

If in 2019 we had quarantined the first symptomatic carriers coming in from overseas, it would have been much better
And here we are in 2022, about to again make the exact same mistake
www.zerohedge.com...

Quarantine the above infected assholes
Not your own population

But Rayyyycissss always used by the left......


Could also have refrained form forcing nursing homes to take infected patients
But Cuomo and other Democrat governors did this on purpose - they WANTED as many dead as possible to then blame Trump

Cuomo, Gretchen and all should have been tried and should be on death row...

Ties in a connection with swollen and shrunken Amygdala 😎

a reply to: xuenchen



It does look like there is connection with Amygdala now that i checked , it's mentioned in the fight-or-flight response, and probably other things.

Masks do help if nothing else they cut down on the viral load, which is a big deal.

No, it isn't, because no, they don't. Help that is. They only hurt. Both physically and mentally. I haven't worn one from day one, with a few rare exceptions when I had to go in somewhere, but I always took it off after entering, and only one store had idiot karens that chased me down when they saw me without one, so the best I ever gave them was wearing it over my chin and mouth, but never my nose (I'm a nose breather, so I could suffer with that indignity for a few minutes).

Well now we have anti-viral medicine and more education via trials about this and that's why the mask mandates were dropped, so there is no longer a mask issue, why drag this on?

A better question would be, why would you declare here that you are still wearing masks, state unequivocally that 'masks work', but then respond like this seemingly saying that you understand they don't and it was all a sham?

In my experience they have worked for me. I wear masks depending upon the level of Covid cases in my town because they have worked for me in the past. There are many reasons people wear masks. I should have worn one at the casino on the weekend because some people smell really bad.

I see elderly people wearing masks outdoors and indoors, why?, because of comorbidities in the elderly population and we know viral and bacterial infections can take us down, hence trying to protect ourselves.

I see many younger people not wearing masks, why?, because they may not have the comorbidities as do elderly people. Make sense?

One should look up what it takes to be a aerospace engineer before making themself look a fool

This is ats the "it's not rocket science" statement is not a good look ... We know what it takes it's not nearly as much as you think it is

You think you know and deny science and that is a worse look.

No longer do politicians or Hollywood push dreams but possible dangers and fear. By choosing their implied/mandated response they will give you reassuring messages you are doing the safest thing possible. This is how people view and prioritized life now; by assessing possible dangers/negatives and trying to find the "safe" response to it. It's not the social beings we were meant to be as half our psyche is disconnected and no longer functions for our own betterment or that of society.
Social engineering has reached insane levels of influence on us in every way imaginable. The things that used to ground us like religion, community, family, institutions, the land and land ownership have been decimated leaving an emotional vacuum where the need for examples, leadership, hope and confidence are all provided for us further consolidating their control both legally and financially.

Not sure if should reply but I still do, just remove it if it's not the right thread to do so.
Polyvagal Theory didn't do much research about it,1st time i hear about it is in this thread.

I do think masks if worn and used properly will help spread any kind of virus,i doubt that a lot of Asian countries like China or Japan has been using those mask for centuries like we were doing it now without any success, they started using a mask because of smog but saw it also had a reduction in the infection rate during flu season's and hospitalizations as well, that's why people used those masks even before corona times.

I also think that masks do help to control the masses to some extent, if people cannot read each other's emotions or feelings from other people it's harder to help them out or connect with them if they need help, it's a good way to keep people divided.
