Donald Trump has said that heat, humidity and sunlight can kill coronavirus. Speaking at the White House on Thursday, the president cited a new Department of Homeland Security science and technology directorate report, saying: ‘The scientists at DHS have released a report offering how the virus reacts to different temperatures, climates and surfaces.
‘The findings confirm the virus survives better in colder, drier environments and does less well in warmer and more humid environments.
‘I have to say that very excitingly, we are going to have somebody up in just a little while. He’s going to be talking about how the virus reacts in sunlight. Wait until you hear the numbers. you won’t even believe them.’
Trump added: ‘We are going to watch very closely for the invisible enemy. With each passing day we’re learning more about this enemy.’
BS! My middle school grandchild had to wear the damned thing inside and outside the classroom with teachers and staff breathing down the necks of students whose masks fall below their nose.
The mandate may vary from state to state but in my “blue” state that was the case but thankfully, as of yesterday, mask mandates were lifted for all public buildings and public schools.
@Jezcoe why the like? You know nothing about parenting.
2 . My OP is not confusing anything. All these rules were supposedly based on science. Where’s the science here? Do you give kids soap and water when they sneeze? What if they sneeze, but not into their hand? What soap do they use?
Do they do it every time you tell them or do they go in there and turn the water on? Do they do it at school? Are they allowed to?
I’m a liberal. I don’t struggle with risk reduction. I struggle with you deciding what reduces my risk.
Judging by the fall off in Omicron cases, I think it’d be a great idea to end mask mandates…and foreign traveler (including truckers!!) vaccine mandates by the end of February or perhaps March 15th. Maybe we can all agree!!!
