    If we are honest, there are still going to be people afraid of going outside even after a vaccine is brought to market. You can’t isolate everyone and expect paranoia not to sink in. That’s what I’m getting at. Telecommuting aside, we have to reacquaint people with the outside world, because it can easily run the way it did before. Be it at a restaurant, a bar, or a store. And it has to be done without the mandates or distancing, because such reprogramming of the mind to associate itself with the outside world cannot work if we remind people why they became paranoid in the first place.

    Requiring masks simply isn’t working, it’s only making people more edgy and making the divide worse.

    And, therein lies the problem. How do we transition from where we are to where we used to be? This is the primary reason I say we are facing a "new normal". It will take some people a long time to venture out and feel relatively safe again. In this case, I don't believe pulling the Band-Aid off quickly is a good idea.

    let's have full disclosure; that guy is mentally unstable. He is being treated. As for the pepper spray wielding masked marauder, she too is probably mentally deranged if she watches any of the same news stations as your fellow liberals. How can an average person be fed a daily dose of leftist good, statist good, fascism good, and not feel emboldened to impose her beliefs upon others?

    cdc says that the number who were infected is 10x the positive tests. That would mean 20 million recovered. The little tidbit that no media will report or repeat. Covid is the new weapon for controlling people

    You can't talk about statism and fascism and ignore the invasion of cities by federal troops to assault journalists and attack those exercising their right to protest - which is certainy part of freedom of speech.

    Please try to remember that by definition fascism IS right wing ultranationalism and authoritarianism - exactly what Trump exercises today as he chooses to lead "his" America while using the full powers of government against those he hates - be they Democrats, racialy diverse, those who follow Christian values, those of a different national origin, those who are hourly workers, those who earn so little that they don't pay income tax, and anyone (ANYONE) who disagrees with him on ANY topic.

    Poor, poor you - your life is just so hard when you have to consider the wellbeing of this nation and those living in it.

    The thing I don't get is that to me, the question of wearing a mask vs. allowing people to die has an obvious answer.

    How come you aren't absolutely going NUTS about seat belts, speed limits, food quality requirements, and all the other stuff we do as a nation so that we can live in close proximity?

    MASKS??? Come on - what kind of BABIES ARE WE??

    I heard today that the best way to avoid the mask police is to not call your gathering a church service, a rally, a picnic, or god-forbid a small-business; but call it a "peaceful protest", and you're pretty much good to go.

    Total permissiveness in which anyone can renounce all social responsibility is as repugnant as a coercion under which all personal freedoms are proscribed.

    If you want to go out in public, wear pants, wear a mask, stop whining.

    Or stay home.

    Like trying to force people to wear masks?

    The party that wishes to force their will on others is the Democrat Party.

    It's as simple as it's gonna get for this upcoming November 2020 elections... If you value your freedoms and your liberties, then vote Republican. If you wish to forever be a slave to your immoral compulsive government masters, then vote Democrat.

    The new abnormal is not normal. It is hypochondria; it is fear mongering; it is government tyranny due to the ever increasing moral depravity of this world...

    Eventually the true Christians (Bride of Christ) will be removed from this world and the rest of the world will be left to "reap what they sowed"... It won't be pretty.

    We've seen it in numerous states where Governors opened up early and carelessly and refused to order masking...and are now being overwhelmed by the virus

    Really? Trump just said wearing a mask was the act of a patriot.

    Yup, you get it... and you're correctly focusing on all cause mortality rates...

    The all cause mortality rates for 2020 are right in line with the last few years, the main exception being in places such as NYC and NJ where their governmental leaders made piss-poor decisions to bring infected people back into nursing homes, which created an unnatural spike in deaths. Besides that, mortality rates have been right in line with other years...

    There is no "crisis"; there is no "pandemic"... This is all a political hoax to bring about the Agenda 2030 of the UN and a one-world government system...

    By that reasoning, Trump went above and beyond driving the case mortality rate down facilitating the production of PPE domestically and accelerating the development and testing of vaccines and therapeutics. There's nothing more the Federal government can do, particularly for states whose government thinks dead bodies provide their party a political advantage.

    Trump did nothing of the sort. He left the states to fend for themselves and even said so.

    Newsflash we still don't have enough PPE or testing

    Masking was always meant to be left as a recommendation. And a governor in of themselves cannot create a law with a order. That’s not how civics work. Eventually, we will have to open up and simply deal with what comes our way. No clear headed person thinks we can stay locked down until we have a cure.

    This guy would have likely never opened up fire if you had just let him be. But that’s what happens when people like to be authoritarian. Sad.

    Are you kidding?

    What he did was a violent criminal act and you're defending it?

    I’m not defending it. What I’m saying is if you had never bothered the guy about a mask (as it’s supposed to be), it likely would not have caused him to go over the edge, thus preventing the violent act

    Controlling the sheep is exactly what it is all about.
    During breakfast this morning with the TV on on eof the three main alphabets, they were running a story about all the jammed up hospitals and ICU's in a city in CA. It was only near the end of this captivating "bombshell story" that they told us that was two months ago.
