    Now we found out Trump was NOT tested before the debate. He showed up late and was on the honor system, which worked how you’d expect from a man with no honor

    Oh I believe you weren't being sarcastic. You posted word for word the exact same belief Alex Jones has regarding satanic cult globalists.

    Thank goodness Biden & his Wife didn't get infected with that liberal hoax Trump contracted.

    It might help you wrap your head around it if you simply remember that the virus is a physical thing, encased in droplets ejected from the nose and mouth. Placing a mask over the nose and mouth will greatly impede their ability to travel from Person A to Person B, capturing the vast majority of these droplets. Yes, some might escape from the sides, top or bottom, but these escapees will go up, down or out to the sides, not straight into the face of Person B.

    Some people just refuse to acknowledge anything that isn't a 100% guarantee. Good is not perfect's enemy.

    Big difference between the candidates. Trump criticized biden for hunkering in his basement while the virus was raging following recommendations from his doctors.
    Trump gets the virus now and bunker boy has to stay there. Does Biden rag on him for that? No he wishes him a speedy recovery and wishes him and his family well.
    Those words would never have came out of trumps mouth.

    Didn't say you did.

    I'm a fan of sports, especially football and basketball, but I don't watch nor care for ice hockey. I don't watch any "professional" sport on TV anymore either... Liberals have ruined them with their "in your face" politics... I make a different use of that time now...

    If they think that a mask can stop a virus, then yes... If they are wearing it while performing a sterile procedure, then no.

    I understand.

    I'm a human being. I have emotions just like everyone else. I just don't caught up in adding to the chaos when someone unleashes. I am able to step back (even if it's just mentally distancing myself in the moment) and remain calm. I have really bad PTSD and I still feel hurt, anger, frustration, etc. I just don't ACT upon those feelings in the moment. That is one reason the debate gave me a migraine. I find it deplorable that two adults couldn't act more professionally especially with the whole world watching.

    I like that quote. I'm gonna save that one. It's exactly how I try to live. Thanks for sharing it.

    "Trump supporters love how he "owns the libs," including when he mocked Hillary Clinton's bout with pneumonia on the 2016 campaign trail.

    • Now that Trump has COVID, Trumpists are shocked — shocked! — that some of his critics are being "mean" to him.

    • Even an amoral bully such as Trump deserves sympathy for contracting a dreaded disease that's already killed 200,000 of his fellow Americans.

    • But after luxuriating in Trump's cruelty for years, his supporters have absolutely no moral high ground on which to stand."
    Good point, but one really should mention the moral depravity that has killed so many Americans.

    They are the VERY SAME PORES, dude... You can't reasonably think that a mask can stop viruses from one's mouth to the outside air, yet not be able to stop viruses from the outside air to one's mouth... stop believing the globalist garbage that you are being spoon-fed...

    No they don't.

    No they aren't. They are as much of a barrier as a spaghetti strainer is to water...

    Exactly, they are useless for stopping viruses. The viruses still enter and exit through not only the pores themselves, but also these gaps that you speak of.

    Exactly. Masks do not stop nor prevent the spread of viruses.

    No, NOT 0.3 micron... 3.0 micron... I am not talking about N95 masks, and people are not wearing N95 masks around... They are instead wearing disposable masks around which have a rating of 3.0 microns, not 0.3 microns... They are also wearing cloth masks, which are even worse than a 3.0 micron rating... Pore size IS the issue here, as well as the diameter of the virus...

    Correct.

    Yes it does. It also travels via droplets, aerosols, etc...

    Nope... It is also in the air "naked" as well. Additionally, did you know that droplets can evaporate? Did you know that a virus is not forever bound to a droplet?

    They can be that size, or larger, but can also be quite a bit smaller than that...

    Regarding the masks that people are actually wearing around (rated at 3.0 microns or more), those are not going to stop a ~0.5 micron droplet...

    That angle been done (to death - literally).

    This is just another entry in the category "We reap what we sow"...

    If you want truly mean, you can go the Kathy Griffin angle.... I'm not sure I'm there yet, but I can see there from here...

    And yet we have a new development; Trump is being sent to Walter Reed. Go figure!

    Nope, all it takes is one case of conflicting evidence to falsify the theory, and Governor Northam counts as that one case...

    It's being reported as a "precautionary measure"....

    Seems to me a better "precautionary measure" would be to ISOLATE in the expansive East Wing of the WH...

    Unless we are being lied to.... for once...
