    The meat industry has always require masks (hair covers and gowns), very similar to health care workers. We see very high infection rates in health care and meat packing. Health care is due to constant exposure and inability to distance. Meat packing is proximity, with people standing practically shoulder-to-shoulder.

    Masks don't seem to be doing as much as keeping a 6 ft. distance from other people, if they do anything.

    That's because Cuomo killed off most of the vulnerable people fairly early, and the rest of the population picked up a resistance to the virus.

    10,000 since the start of the virus. How many were infected before they had to wear masks, and how many of those workers then don't bother to wear the mask when out of work? Tyson foods reported several deaths before masks were mandatory

    Seems they would have implemented the distancing policy at the same time as the masks .

    I haven't seen too many articles on changes on the meat industry since we had mass outbreaks. They may have changed to staggered shifts or some improvements FAIK. I know we have no meat shortage, and I haven't heard of new outbreaks, so either they're doing something right now, or we're just getting lucky.

    Gohmert seems to be doing well. He was on Hannity Friday night and said that other than "feeling tired", he has no symptoms.

    Maybe Gohmert was infected by Grijalva and just got tested first. We'll never know will we?

    Looks like the apple falls really far from the dead tree. Gohmerts daughter calls him out (and the fat oaf trespassing in our WH).

    Sure I do. If I quarantined, if I socially distanced, if I did everything the medical folks demand of me, and I have no symptoms, how did I get the infection? And that is the logic that frankly undercuts all of this. Why? Ill put it in a different way. If everyone does what the medical folks are asking, and they are still getting infected, why aren't the medical folks changing the warmings? We shut down here. For 8 weeks. We socially distance. We don't attend protests. We don't go where there is a likelihood of out of state tourists. I'm not infected. Now, justify why my wearing a mask protects others. (note. I do wear one in public because it is required where social distance cannot be guaranteed.) The act of wearing it, though, isn't protecting anyone else, and certainly not me.

    So, you've done it again. You make a claim that is demonstrably untrue. You cannot provide ANY documentation or cite any medical study that suggests that a mask protects the wearer from someone else. And here you are, arguing it anyway, after suggesting you know better. It's laughable. So, answer the question. Why wear a mask if you aren't infected. More, if you have been infected, and you survived, why wear one? Who a) would you be protecting, and b) how would it protect you?

    I'm just glad we don't have a lot of people who "think" like you do in my county... if any...

    And here YOU are again arguing against the SECONDARY effect of masks as if that's a reason not to wear them.
    And...

    "Why wear a mask if you aren't infected."?

    Of course you don't KNOW that you are not infected do you...Goober Louie didn't know...and likely infected an unknown number of people...in the CONGRESS

    Going by your logic there would be zero cases

    I suppose it isn't hard to understand why you would write this. Tyrants never like it when you challenge their flimsy theory. More, the fact that you would demand and then throw a temper tantrum seems as demonstrable an act as any to just how flimsy and frankly dangerous your team and their policy is at this point. If you're glad that you're telling folks to go out and "feel" like they are protected, that seems pretty monstrous.

    And there it is. The "everyone is infected" BS that folks who drive fear would peddle. It really is that simple. Perhaps you're going to demand folks wear stars, or triangles next....

    Wrong.Everyone COULD be infected...and until we as a nation act as if that's the case...this horror will continue to ravage the nation.

    Why you would want that is beyond me
