The fact that someone unironically posted the federalist in here just proves that some will never understand the issues

This right here is the big key. If masks didn't work they wouldn't be standard in the medical profession.

I don't blame them with your state having such relaxed policies right now.

Expect rises in Texas.

I wouldn't trust anything said by any of them at this point. They weren't honest from the get go. Even if logic says he isn't contagious doesn't mean there isn't others who are and doesn't mean he is symptom free. Honestly at this point any sense of normalcy would be great but I don't see that coming any time soon.

HCQ has only been proven to have any usefulness in the very first few days of the virus impacting the body and even then it isn't some sort of cure but a treatment to help fight the virus when combined with zinc or steroids. By the time most people find out they are sick its too late for it to be used.

Sounds like SC is pretty terrible.

Yeah it is asinine, not only airport employees but TSA as well just not wearing them right or sometimes not even having them on.

Thank you, there is far too many not wearing them or wearing them wrong that it just throws off any chance of them being as effective as they should be. Hell I see people at work not wearing them, in a god damn airport. I mean that is just incredibly risky.

What exactly is still closed though? Even movie theaters, bowling alleys, and gyms have opened up much to the detriment they will cause.

Schools been open since mid to late August, it wasn't until the last 10 days that things are skyrocketing. I'd say schools contributed to not allowing things to go down but more shit opening was a much bigger contribution.

You are missing a few 1998 had a huge storm, and though in October you have to consider the Octobomb, both of which were La Nina.

Probably a combo there but definitely a contribution comes from the reopening.

It was idiotic to open everything up no restriction, this is just proving how idiotic it is.

It isn't remotely weird, the governors are doing shit to keep people alive, the congress namely the Senate isn't. People like living as safely as possible.

That is why the country as a whole votes liberally and has more times than not since 2000. There are political reasons why the right has power but by all means it isn't because of the country's love for a center-right weak central government which the votes prove the exact opposite. Also I find it ironic that you have a complaint of Whitmer doing too much as an outsider when this state she has 60% approval rating of how she has handled the pandemic.

I feel like your anecdote is incredibly pointless.

Canada is closed for non essential... man you are something else

I mean they could have called it a hoopla.

Agreed

Ironic because you keep driving it toward political points when this has been pretty much apolitical.

All I hear is money, I'm sorry but money doesn't matter if you are sick or dead. Furthermore most things are open, no not everything before someone nitpicks, but most things are so that economic damage has been recovered while most people wear masks, but if all don't then we are wasting our time and potentially risking millions.

You mean that setup done by the salon owner that immediately cried poverty when she got backlash for her setup. Yeah that wasn't on the up and up, but sure if you want to count that one instance, I will point to the mountain of evidence on the other side. This is the proof I am talking about you guys get fixated on one thing just like saying Fauci said masks weren't necessary 6 months ago, that has changed since then but you guys refuse to give up something 6 months old.

Even if that is the case, mask wearing is more preventative than anything right now for the general public. It is very obvious which side of the fence those who deny masks or both sides the discussion. Do you see anyone against wearing masks from the left?

The lack of contact tracing is grossly negligent, not everyone in the White House is a politician. You have general public workers in there as well and they are potentially being endangered because the right still doesn't believe this to be serious as they all get sick in the process. I'm sorry to make this political but it is seriously negligence what they are currently doing right now within the Trump Administration. As for pandemic fatigue, imagine being someone who has been doing the right thing for 6 months now, and hearing that someone can't do the right thing for a couple weeks. That is just wholly ridiculous. People want everything open but won't do any of the precautions and then complain when nothing ends up being open. Its a vicious circle of ignorance.
