Re: Not to kick a dead horse, but come on!

Nobody ever said "Quarantine the healthy people." What they said was "We have no way of knowing who is sick, who is healthy, and who is an asymptomatic carrier, so we need to lock everybody down until we can flatten the curve and hopefully get enough testing capacity on line to be abl...

Re: Percentage Wearing a Mask Protects Against Covid

It is known masks do not stop viruses.This is no conspiracy theory as it requires a haz mat suit to stop viruses.Why the controversy? It is known common knowledge. How do you manage to always be wrong, even when you're technically right? It's amazing. Yes, the virus is too small to be trapped by a ...

Re: Percentage Wearing a Mask Protects Against Covid

When people speak, laugh, breathe, etc they release tiny droplets of moisture. The virus can be in those droplets, which is how airborne transmission works. The point of the mask is to stop those droplets from leaving your personal space and moving into the space of those around you. It's not 100% e...

I claim that I try, which I do. I've never claimed a 100% success rate.

Re: Not to kick a dead horse, but come on!

The "untested" vaccine is currently being tested. That's why it's going to take 12-18 months to get it out, assuming they manage to pull it off at all. By the time it's released it will have been tested. Regarding Trump's efforts to pimp hydroxychloroquine, the issue is that he's making fa...

Re: I've been waiting for this, but somehow I'm still shocked...

Rick, Clinton retired in November of 2016 and if you still regard Trump as the lesser of 2 evils then you've lost your mind. Regarding DBowling, even if our only common ground is that we both believe in the rule of law that's enough for now. Trump and his supporters clearly do not. I know that you s...

Re: Percentage Wearing a Mask Protects Against Covid

Masks make a difference when worn and handled properly, and there is proper hand washing and sanitizing involved. I’ve seen many people who improperly use masks, to the point that they’re better off not even wearing them. We are trained at work on the proper use of ppe. Most people have no idea how...

Re: Percentage Wearing a Mask Protects Against Covid

Fauci's meant to be an "expert" and has given wrong advice. If he said that, in order to reserve masks for medical practitioners, then that's what he should have said rather than lying to the public. That is what he said. The US was completely unprepared for the pandemic and we had massiv...

Re: I've been waiting for this, but somehow I'm still shocked...

I hope you don't throw all "so called conservatives" in the same bag. You know I am a conservative. And I know that you and I have strong disagreements on a number of issues (the Supreme Court, the economy, religious freedoms and protection, etc...). But I have generally tried to avoid re...

Re: Not to kick a dead horse, but come on!

FWIW, My wife has a nurse practitioner friend who has been treating some of her patients with Hydroxychloroquine, and she said it definitely is helping them. I know you may not want to hear that, so you can brush it aside if it doesn’t fit in your anti-Trump narrative. So there's one piece of anecd...

Re: Percentage Wearing a Mask Protects Against Covid

You mean doctors who are general practitioners? Or Fauci with masks not being necessary? And there it is again. Empty nonsense in response to a serious discussion about a life and death issue. I mean anyone who can't maintain social distancing and doesn't want to contract, suffer from, and perhaps ...

Re: Percentage Wearing a Mask Protects Against Covid

And there it is again. Nobody is bashing Trump for shaking hands or smiling at Putin. The charges are that his campaign colluded with Russian assets during the election and since then he's been Putin's sniveling, subservient *****. Remember when he gave classified intel to the Russians? Or the time ...

Re: I've been waiting for this, but somehow I'm still shocked...

I hope you realize that "TDS" is nothing more than a meaningless Trumpian insult. Since that particular term is used by people who get their information from specific sources, the use of that term tells you more about the person doing the insulting than the person being insulted. It's als...
