There was a guy who wore a KKK hood at an Albertsons (I "think" in California, the video is somewhere on this forum). He's wearing a required mask, and the store personal asked him to take it off!! (People were triggered.) He took it off, checked out sans mask, and left. I hope he was simply trying to prove a point, but my goodness, if everyone put on a KKK hood, executioner mask or Trump 2020 mask, this mask requirement would be over but fast.

On one side you have people who think that masks should be worn everywhere, on the other are those who will never put on a mask. The reality is in between. But proximity. The song "The Age of Aquarius" tells us what we need to know. And it's peer reviewed by hippies everywhere. And I'm pretty sure the moon is in the seventh house this week so wear your masking even if you're wandering about a desolate land like the Sahara or Canada.

I think there is a David Spade movie coming out on Netflix which I'm sure is the needless suffering he'll warn us about. The death might be the hornets. Getcha popcorn.

Doctors and scientists are not economists. They see the world only through the bubble of health , and are pretty accustomed to having money. That’s why a Fauci can look at reopening the economy as “ needless”. What a joke. 1 hour ago, SoCal Deek said: Being selfish isn’t a crime in a free society.

Magox Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 More data that just confirms what we already knew. Just to summarize, 91.5% of all the deaths are people over the age of 65. 83% of them are over the age of 75. That 61% of the deaths are over the age of 85. This doesn't even take into account that out of these deaths that 88% of them have 2 or more comorbidites. And look which states have done well and not so well in protecting seniors, relative to their peers. 1 4

The question she asks the most is why trump refuses to wear a mask and stands so close to others. From the mouths of babes .... He and pence will war their non-infected statuses as badges. That's funny. My totally real, definitely not made up for an anecdotal story three year old daughter asked me a question after dinner last night. She said to me, "Daddy, I've finished poring over the available data. Even with the inclusion of comorbidities inflating the number of deaths by the Chinese Flu, it seems as though we're still pretty close to the average yearly death rate. Millions of people have had irreparable harm done to their lives. All the data suggests that the fear mongering and mask shaming is illogical. I weep for the number of people who will be lost from death by despair, or as I like to think of it, death by lockdown. Since if you die during lockdown, you die because of lockdown. Will Americans live in fear forever? Are all adults complete kitties like your internet acquaintance, SectionC3?" To which I smiled, patted her on the head and said , "Shut up, honey. I'm trying to watch The Last Dance. Tell your totally not made up mother to bring me another Sapphire gimlet." From the mouths of babes indeed... 7 1
Uncle Joe Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Magox said: Today's hearing is highly anticipated, especially by the media and Trump's detractors. In prepared remarks, apparently there is a snippet of a quote that is being taken out of context. They are harping on his quote "needless suffering and death", if states open up too quickly. Of course, what the media is focusing on is "needless suffering and death". <snip> I will be watching Fauci closely today, my hopes are that he provides full context with his answers. My guess is that he'll somehow provide more snippets in today's hearing that will be used against the administration that are taken out of it's context. Well Schumer has said he wants Fauci to "let er rip". I'm glad I don't have smellavision. Edited May 12, 2020 by Uncle Joe

Nah they just say anytime you’re in close proximity to others. General guidance, applicable irrespective of location. But by Chef Jim logic it’s impossible to be in close proximity to anyone in a park or on a trial. Makes. Perfect. Sense. 9 minutes ago, plenzmd1 said: Fauci gunna sink the markets..if i heard him correct, just saidno college in the fall..but i may have heard incorrectly Just imagine the effect on markets if Fauci’s concerns about the spread of virus upon premature reopening are realized. 1 hour ago, GG said: This response demonstrates the futility of advocating good behavior. On one side you have people who think that masks should be worn everywhere, on the other are those who will never put on a mask. The reality is in between. Or we could actually read the CDC website. Either one. The debate isn’t about location, it’s about proximity to others. When in proximity, the CDC suggests that masks be worn, irrespective of location. There is no such thing as “trail” or “park” immunity.
