    Until the President comes out unambiguously in favor of mask usage and proper social distancing...there will be a significant portion of the country that will not do the right thing.

    Trump will never BE that President

    “All this speculation makes me need a flask”?

    Really? Who are you trying to fool with this stuff?

    https://www.euro.who.int/__data/ass...lcohol-and-COVID-19-what-you-need-to-know.pdf

    In what sane universe do you advocate for mandating others protect you when you simultaneously advocate for individually increasing your odds of contracting, spreading, and dying from Covid-19? This is one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen. Is this ignorance or something more sinister?

    Sure Lesh. Now you are on record saying the European World Health Organization is QAnon.

    Or are you saying the OP is QAnon?

    What I post is based on the best scientific evidence available. Not Disney parodies or quack internet sites you consume.

    “Have some faith in Fauci”?

    The Fauci that was against masks before he was for masks? The Fauci that let the pandemic explode uncontrolled across the country while he “saved” masks for healthcare professionals? The Fauci that finally gave in to pressure from other medical professionals and recommended masks in April? The Fauci that watched South Korea deal sensibly with mask shortages for six weeks prior to recommending them here but couldn’t implement anything similar or even advocate for it?

    The Fauci that is the “expert” but took months to figure out cloth masks that could be made at home were better than nothing?

    The Fauci photographed with his mask under his chin where he knew he was on national television, and when called out for it makes lame excuses about drinking water and it not mattering because the guy sitting next to him is a close friend? LOL.

    The Fauci that finally admits aerosol spread is significant and that aerosols travel well over 6 feet but in the same presentation states distancing of 6 feet is good enough?

    Yes, I agree with the European WHO. We both think booze is a dangerous combination with SARS-CoV-2. Clearly you don’t agree, but that’s denial of science on your part, not Qanon garbage on my part.

    Prove my post is based on QAnon Lesh. Offer some evidence.

    I'ma go out on a limb here and say I'm prolly not the only Trump supporter that isn't looking for an example to follow. Why do you think we'd start doing something just because Trump does it? Has there been a massive rise in suit wearing, limo riding, mcdonalds eating or porn star banging since 2016?

    Perhaps you forgot that Trump was elected primarily by folks who indentify as individualists...

    Good point. I don’t support many politicians anymore. Even the handful I can support to some degree have no influence on me based on their example. What a sad state of affairs in a country with a government of, by, and for the people, most of those people want kings or celebrities to dictate their actions.

    best way to fight the covid is put up no fight at all, same as it ever was with every pandemic, until they began to want world economy collapse.

    I could be wrong. Putin has just mandated mask wearing...so it wouldn't be surprising if Trump reverses himself here.

    How would his minions respond?

    Would they then drop their objections to masks?

    Let's hear it folks

    (Now is where they tell us they all wear masks and support mask wearing)

    Masks don’t protect people from Covid and they don’t prevent the spread of Covid. Aerosol particles which are ~ 1 micron in diameter from normal breathing go right through them. Surgeons with viral infections do not operate. The only benefit of masks are for those infected with a persistent cough. That produces droplets 100X the size of aerosols which surgical masks attenuate. Know the science and follow the science.

    Dr. Fauci knows all this but is just playing politics.

    See folks?

    No matter that Trump supposedly favors mask use (while laughing at those who wear them)

    This crap is here because of Trump. We'll never get control of this virus until we get serious about TRYING

    And MASKS WORK.

    And we can't get back to work UNTIL we take this thing seriously

    And that ain't gonna happen until we get the Orange Clown out of the White House

    Listen to this garbage

    At this point we all KNOW that this virus can be spread for DAYS before symptoms show up. And every sneeze, cough, every time you yell or sing or even pronounce consonants...spews that virus without a mask

    "follow the science"...yea would that you would

    There is no scientific evidence that masks work on aerosols. The CDC itself states that masks don't protect anyone from Covid and that the only benefit is to stop the spread from infected persons with coughs or other activities that spread ~ 100 micron droplets in confined spaces indoors.

    This virus came from China and there is evidence that it was actually human engineered and escaped from the Wuhan laboratory. China quarantined its own people but allowed the virus to spread globally. The pandemic is winding down in the US based on daily hospitalization and daily fatality data. Daily positive US tests are trending up because of more testing that is catching healthy people in infected with no or very mild symptoms. This is should be our covid policy:

    And yet many countries without mask mandates have done very well. There is no scientific evidence that masks work.

    Maybe you should set an example of following science. You are on record denying science a few posts above.

    I highly doubt that figure.
    That’s not even true here in NY where mask wearing is pretty well accepted

    The American people have been terrorized, but many still do not realize it, and dutifully wear their mask of fear.

    Not a word in this bit o' propaganda about taking supplements to improve one's immune system.

    Plandemic propaganda, nothing more. :thumbsdown:
