    Currently those types are called Dem Party voters.

    We're not talking about Brazil. The pandemic was glommed onto by the Democrat party from the start and used in multiple but different iterations for desired political results the most dubious of which was the mail in ballots. As I said there's no denying that there is this hideous virus but America has had it with being jerked around by the lies and half truths about the seriousness of the situation, particularly when the politicians are not following their own edicts. Trashing Thanksgiving was just a preview of their America hating plans if they are given the keys to the kingdom. Their war on Christmas began long before the pandemic. While Christmas is not exclusively an American holiday its observance is up there with the 4th of July. Christmas may be rooted in Christianity but the season's sentiment about about peace and goodwill to all. The left abhors anything that unites rather than divides, which is why they crack down on large gatherings like religious services. The left is a dark cloud over everything and politically tints everything they control, especially the media and entertainment, lockdowns are for those things which they cannot control. If Biden and the rest of the Communist (formerly Democrat) party come into power they won't need the pandemic to issue edicts, they will just arbitrarily cancel holidays and observances.

    Gee, thanks for such a descriptive reply. That's a very subtle way to say "Eff you!"

    I got no complaints, recriminations, or snarkiness from the user with whom I was conversing.

    Why do you feel the need to jump in, and in a nasty and hateful way? I'm guessing that you can't even answer that.

    The virus is world wide.
    Brazil has a president like trump.

    They're reaction to the virus has been similar to USA reaction to virus.
    USA reaction to virus has been in many ways similar to actions taken across most of the world.

    By talking about Brazil, it proves you are just politicizing the virus, and not the dems.

    Had trump decided to take responsibility and do something like working towards a National program on testing, contact tracing, plans of attack policy, we could all be working together to control a common enemy. The virus.
    Instead, he lied to the American people on how serious it was and even stated, 15 will go to ZERO. It will magically disappear.

    As for the stupid war on Xmas. No one is trying to end Xmas.

    I think that around Jan 21, 2023 Biden will resign and hand it over to Harris with just under half his term remaining so she can finish it and still be eligible for two full terms after that. They will go full squad as much as they can.

    Really.
    Demonstrate how having skepticism or opposition to wearing a mask necessarily means you do not actually wear a mask.

    which have been implemented and have had zero success. The mask and lockdowns are Democrat dictates also ineffective. As it stands the world's medical community know no more about this than Trump or you. Shall we start blaming you for things you are not responsible for?

    It's about common curtesy.
    It's like Trump people woke up one day and decided not to cover their mouth when they coughed anymore cause that would
    be infringing on their "freedom".

    Crazy town.

    You could bring in the US military and enforce a nationwide quarantine where no person could leave their house for three weeks, any person found outside could be shot on sight. The virus would be wiped out in those three weeks. Just because a particular measure would be effective in battling the virus does not mean that it should be taken. The negotiation is how many human rights should be denied to the American people in order to battle the virus. My bar is no human rights should be denied, what is your bar?

    Notice I said nothing about masks or lockdowns?

    I said testing, contract tracing, plans at the national level and funding from the fed gov't as States don't have the funds.
    Basically, getting Americans and States working together to fight this common enemy. Instead of pitting red states against blue states.
    Or telling the country that 15 will go to zero.

    There has not been a consistent voice at the Nat'l level.
    There is the infectious disease experts telling us one thing and the WH voices saying don't listen to the experts.

    But on the mask or PPE thing.
    Why do the doctors and other healthcare professionals where all that PPE when dealing with patients?

    To keep their jobs. This virus is a huge question mark and the average person's risk is far lower than medical workers.

    Newsflash: even if Biden did that, Harris is not squad-friendly. She's a centrist.

    Your rights end where possible harm to others begins.

    My bar: enter a public place without a mask, pay a $50 fine. That way, the selfish and inconsiderate people who care more about their own personal freedoms than about the lives of fellow human beings can go ahead and exercise those rights, as long as they choose to do so knowing that it could cost them money. That makes it your choice.

    He reminds me of when my kids went through their defiant teenage years. Eventually they grew out of it when they became adults.

    No.
    Harm, or a significant, clear, present and immediate probability of harm.
    Not "possible" harm.

    Okay, fine, have it your way.

    Your personal freedoms end where they pose a significant, clear, present and immediate probability of harm to others. Getting anywhere withing six feet of another without wearing a mask satisfies that qualification.

    Pure sophistry. 10 months of data have shown the virus to be as dangerous as the flu virus.

    About 270,000 American families would beg to differ. Epidemiologists world wide would likely disagree as well.

    Your use of the word sophistry is essentially calling me a liar. That's quite rude. I think it's against forum rules as well.

    No, it's calling you a user of sophistry.

    Anybody presenting data generated by PCR tests and manipulated death certificates is either quite gullible or deliberately misleading.

    The flu has never caused hospitals to be near or at capacity. The flu has never caused a situation where retired doctors and nurses are being asked to come back to help out overrun staff.

    Now that is really sophistic. Calling the medical world liars is what you're doing.
    If they lie so bad, why trust them to your healthcare?
