for rams-related information, but i dont recommend it as a go-to source of coronavirus-based info. sometimes a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
There's about a dozen people here who stay on top of info regarding the virus and regularly post about it.
To claim their knowledge is not adequate, you would have to know more than they do. And frankly you don't appear to know more than they do. Not based on your actual comments. Rather, it appears you have strong opinions and beliefs--but not enough knowledge to rationally dismiss the info of others. Enough to debate in good faith, and have at it because that is useful for everyone, but not enough to assert yourself as an authority capable of dismissing what others say (ie those you make the effort to stay informed).
Meanwhile in this subthread you;re basically defending a post by someone who still does not get that we wear masks to protect OTHERS and lower the spread of the virus.
And in terms of that...masks? Here's an interesting (and to me quite plausible) bit.

The day before yesterday, 21 people died of COVID-19 in Japan. In the United States, 2,129 died. Comparing overall death rates for the two countries offers an even starker point of comparison with total U.S. deaths now at a staggering 76,032 and Japan’s fatalities at 577. Japan’s population is about 38% of the U.S., but even adjusting for population, the Japanese death rate is a mere 2% of America’s.
This comes despite Japan having no lockdown, still-active subways, and many businesses that have remained open—reportedly including karaoke bars, although Japanese citizens and industries are practicing social distancing where they can. Nor have the Japanese broadly embraced contact tracing.... So how does Japan do it? One reason is that nearly everyone there is wearing a mask....
