Maybe the fake winner president should take his wife’s advice, be better on that respect, and wear the mask when it’s appropriate. I hate to say it, but that’s how I feel, too. It’s just selfish. The wrong place to prove a point about individual liberty. Can't have it both ways. 1

So in reality you don't care you've just bought into the Simon Says hype. As I mentioned my mother worries every year when flu season comes along because of her age. No one EVER wore a mask around her during the flu season which kills how many every year? 2

Now there’s a significant part of the population that can’t be bothered to undertake a small act or courtesy to the public at large. Don't give me this sanctimonious BS unless you plan on wearing a mask come every flu season for the rest of your life. 1 1

Were it the best company to develop the vax, or were it the furthest ahead, I wouldn’t have mentioned it. But I don’t know that either of those things is true. Perhaps, though were that you did know thouth was neither the furthest nor swiftest nor bestest, we might be able to discuss to wit.

Ask someone who’s been on a COVID floor of a hospital about the differences. 14 minutes ago, Chef Jim said: Don't give me this sanctimonious BS unless you plan on wearing a mask come every flu season for the rest of your life.

Can’t ask them to do something that I won’t or don’t do myself. funny, I am trying tio teach my children, and always have, to not believe everything they see on TV or read on the Gram or Twitter.I think for the most part we have succeeded.And while I am a never Trumper, he is not quite MAGA, but certainly not where I am on Trump. And i respect the hell out of him for that. He is 19, and i think I was successful in getting him to think for himself and form his own opinions. 4 1

I don’t agree with it, and I suspect he will moderate with more life experience. But it’s important to think for one’s self and to ask why things are the way they are. One of the ironies of today’s political climate is that the most disingenuous administration of my lifetime has attempted to assume, and with some succeeded in assuming, the mantle of truth. 1

I wear a mask when in stores, and have for 3 weeks or so. I have great friends who will not , and i get their reasoning too
shoshin Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Masks now required in the White House, which is sensible and follows the CDC recommendations. I hope Trump follows his own rules. It would be a good message for the country to do as he says and does.

I just think it’s the wrong spot to take the stand. I guess it’s the way America works;. They can do something which I disagree, and I have the right to tell them how much I do not appreciate their behavior.

Besides that, they are identical. Even the White House now requires masks. 2

Deaths are deaths and they count, right ? The flu is not the same , but it has claimed far more lives than Covid19 at this point and probably for quite some time.
