Thank you for supporting the Greenwood Chess Club.
On Monday someone attended the Greenwood Chess Club who was symptomatic and later tested positive for COVID-19. If you attended the chess club on Monday, I suggest taking an in-home test. I tested myself and the test came out negative. However, I quarantined this week just in case.
You can get free tests from the government. They take several weeks to get delivered. https://www.covid.gov/tests
Drug stores also sell COVID-19 tests.
I feel like I should not have to say this again, but please do not come to the Greenwood Chess Club if you are feeling sick or if you have symptoms.
There is much misinformation being spread about COVID, so I will address some of these issues here:
1. The pandemic is over.
It used to be that measles was the most infectious disease on record, but the Omicron variant has surpassed measles. In early November of last year, we had barely heard of the Omicron variant, but by late January of this year, it had caused a major surge in the United States.

2. Cloth masks don't work.
People who attack mask usage always say that cloth masks don't work, which is true. However, they ignore that other types of masks are at least partially effective at preventing the spread of COVID.
https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2021/09/surgical-masks-covid-19.html
"Wearing an N95/KN95 respirator (aOR = 0.17; 95% CI = 0.05–0.64) or wearing a surgical mask (aOR = 0.34; 95% CI = 0.13–0.90) was associated with lower adjusted odds of a positive test result compared with not wearing a mask (Table 3). Wearing a cloth mask (aOR = 0.44; 95% CI = 0.17–1.17) was associated with lower adjusted odds of a positive test compared with never wearing a face covering but was not statistically significant."

3. Vaccines don't prevent the spread of COVID.
As the virus has evolved, it reportedly has been more likely to have a vaccine breakthrough infection.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/effectiveness/why-measure-effectiveness/breakthrough-cases.html
"Raw data shows the risk of breakthrough cases is very small for vaccinated people, potentially 1 in 5,000.
Additionally, the risk of being hospitalized from COVID-19 after vaccination is extremely small, at about 5 in 100,000.
A new study found people who were not vaccinated were five times as likely to get COVID-19 compared to people who were fully vaccinated."

"COVID 19 vaccines are effective at protecting people from getting seriously ill, being hospitalized, and even dying."
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/vaccine-benefits.html
"Booster Shots of COVID-19 Vaccines Effective Against Omicron Subvariant"

"Research shows that spike proteins (here) remain stuck to the cell surface around the injection site and do not travel to other parts of the body via the bloodstream, they added. The 1% of the vaccine that does reach the bloodstream is destroyed by liver enzymes."

1. The pandemic is over.
It has been my observation that most people are acting as if there is no pandemic.
However, hundreds of people are dying daily.

One out of every 310 Americans has died from the disease. I lost a cousin to COVID. David Prowse (Darth Vader), Chloris Leachman, and Herman Cain died from the disease.
It used to be that measles was the most infectious disease on record, but the Omicron variant has surpassed measles. In early November of last year, we had barely heard of the Omicron variant, but by late January of this year, it had caused a major surge in the United States.

I personally have stayed up to date with the booster shots and I have not yet caught the disease.
4. The vaccines are experimental.
5. The vaccines rewrite your DNA.
The only known case of this was outside the human body in a petri dish with just liver cells.
However, the actual vaccines work primarily at the injection site.
The vast majority of viruses rewrite your DNA in some of your cells. Your immune system finds these cells and destroys them. This is a much bigger issue with the disease than it is with the vaccines.
6. The spike protein is toxic.
First of all, you are going to get much more spike proteins with the disease than you are going to get with the vaccines.
Second, the vaccine spike protein was deliberately made different to prevent insertion into cells.
COVID-19 can have serious long-term consequences. COVID can damage your organs. COVID can cause 2% brain shrinkage, which is normally 0.1 to 0.2% per year in adults.
