They never did much care for the 4th amendment, the 2nd amendment, the 23rd (& 24th) article of Florida constitution, the federal privacy act of 1974, FERPA, electronic communications privacy act, the Orwellian HIPAA (which alleges to protect medical/health care info privacy but does not)…. just tooo inconvenient for their purposes.

What is outrageous is their unrepentant power-madness.

I agree with “Lena” on one thing, though. People are dying from ignorance, stupidity, and power-madness.

We just disagree about which people are more or less power-mad, stupid, & ignorant. Masks probably help a little, but not much. It’s the difference between virus particles shooting out 15 feet from a sneeze vs. forming a cloud within a couple feet of where the person who sneezed was at that instant, & they mostly blast out around the mask rather than through. Then again, the frequency of sneezing is probably much higher in moldy, humid Tallyburg than, say Cleveland. OTOH, the Tallyhassle UV renders them inert much more quickly. The virus particles remain infectious for a week on the mask, up to 3 days on paper, stainless steel, & plastic IN THE SHADE. Or thus sayeth the medical journals.

Crank up your FirstPage, DuckDuckGo… foo.?? How many Wuhan particles would fit in a single layer under your thumb? How many are required to deliver a disease-inducing load?

Today Xi jinping awarded medals to individuals for their bravery in the fight against COVID. There were 10 new cases in China today……Donald Trump whined about Joe Biden being stupid.

“As of today, Leon County’s positivity rate is hovering above 9%, and FSU has had 123 students and six employees test positive, a 1.57% positivity rate.”
This information needs to be corrected. FSU has had 123 students AS OF AUGUST 30 https://stayhealthy.fsu.edu/ and has not updated the numbers since. Considering the current spike in Leon County, there is no doubt that the number is much higher now.

Masks work.

That’s why when you go to a medical facility, the doctors and nurses wear them. Duh.

We are not just dying from the virus.

We are dying from “stupid,” egged on by those who think they can score a few cheap votes from it.

In reply to Jane. Wearing a mask to prevent against a viral infection, is like wearing a t-shirt to prevent against a bullet wound. Wear one if it makes you fell better, but don’t expect miracles, and stop pretending it matters.

Remote learning would have helped to reduce this OUTBREAK. Don’t be fooled, it’s ALL about the money, NOT the rona.

In reply to Edward Lyle. Please tell me what this has to do with HIPAA. HIPAA is totally unrelated to this. Do some research :)

As an FSU student, I see students not wearing masks when they should, so no, I don’t feel that my rights have been violated. The staff are looking out for the students’ and faculties’ best interest. If more people would actually wear a mask and not gather in masses, this random testing wouldn’t be a thing. It’s not outrageous. What’s outrageous is the carelessness of the students who refuse to comply with university guidelines 🙂
