About gropey's And phony's New Mask Mandate Proposal

[JimmyC]

What precautions? Certainly not mask-wearing.

yeah, if you avoid looking at all of the evidence and only concentrate on the areas where the protest would not have caused spikes because of temporary immunity then the evidence does not support it. If you take that into account however…

only the areas hardest hit by COVID from the beginning have been spared the spikes… why is that?
only areas that were not hit in the beginning and had major ongoing protests were seeing spikes… why is that?

Yeah, the spikes have spread beyond those areas now. People travel, people go home.

That’s what they told us about Spring Break wasn’t it?

Riots don’t fit the propaganda so now the rhetoric has changed.

Yeah, Italy did such a great job letting all their elderly with comorbidity die off. Adjusted for population, they have had almost three times our deaths. Good job Italy. Do you really think choosing the country with the highest death rate for your poster child for Covid response is a good pick?

Outdoors?

Yeah…the left isn’t really thinking here.

There’s nothing fake about the flames of fear being fanned.

Yes the argument is fake.

Avoiding a disease you can avoid with simple steps that don’t, in fact, threaten to get rid of your “Freeberty” is not a question of fear or courage.

This is a major reason our response has been so terrible…because of a small but significant fraction of our population that looks at the simplest steps to mitigate as all out assaults on our liberties.

Yep, simplest steps like not rioting and looting.

Those people are immune. Didn’t you know that?

Italy 583 per million vs US 515 per million. And we are growing at a much faster rate than Italy and will eventually overtake them.

That’s far from couple million dead that experts predicted. Trumped saved millions.

Sorry, article I looked at was out of date. Still, not the best country to pick considering.

[conan]

Why not ban heating and air condition? You would save lot more lives that way.

Italy’s deaths per million is 582.

The US is Currently 508.

With 300,000 projected dead by December we are going to over take Italy pretty soon

Winning.

It isn’t the best country to pick.

That is exactly why it is picked.

Italy is doing better than the US

That should ring all sorts of alarms.

Apples and oranges. We aren’t Italians. Or Germans. And neither are our governments. The people don’t behave in the same way and the governments operate under different rules.

[JimmyC]

That’s kinda the point

When have we ever claimed to be exceptional at following government orders or advice? Quick trip to Walmart should disabuse you of that notion.

[Toll_Collector]

What are they suggesting that is different?

[ohknow35]

@Toll_Collector

What are they suggesting that is different?

Ask them. Oh wait…

But apparently that everyone should be wearing a mask, even outside, for the next 3 months at least.

And that all 50 governors should mandate this.

[Toll_Collector]

Yeah. Good luck with that. I’m not wearing a mask outside.

[WuWei]

@ohknow35

@WuWei

Which state doesn’t have a mask mandate in place?

Apparently there are 16 states that don’t have mask mandates in place, all with Republican governors, including Florida, Tennessee, South Dakota, New Hampshire to name a few.

But I don’t believe any state currently has a mask mandate along the lines of what biden and harris suggested. They’re just posturing to act like they’re doing something new, and to lay future claim to preventing some deaths and blaming Trump for the deaths that do occur.

What U.S. States Require Masks In Public? (Updated Daily)

[sbedgood]

I live in Upper Michigan. We social distance by accident. This wholesale one size shutdown baloney is ridiculous. This virus isn’t going anywhere. People are going to get sick and some will die no matter what precautions are taken.
