How has science contradicted my political priors? All you need is common sense to see that the protests are the reason why we're seeing this latest surge. But we'll never know for sure because mayors of these large cities specifically instructed their contact tracers to NOT ask if a person attended a protest. What was the scientific reasoning behind that?
The latest science indicates that the chances of outdoor transmission, especially when masks are worn, are pretty low. Your "common sense" contradicts the science, while mapping onto your political opposition to the protests. "Common Sense" is commonly wrong. That's the point of my post.
I seriously think you might need medication.
I personally believe so, but there have to be protections regarding children. I fear pervs using such a change for predation. A conversation for another day perhaps.
Play your attempt at a gotcha with someone else. I'm not playing. I don't ask those who support abortions why they support masks, so don't ask me why I want to protect children from deviants but don't support mandatory masks.
He has for a long time. 50 days of burning down Portland with peaceful protest are probably taking their toll.
Just last week Japan hit a 3 month high in cases. Does that not fit your narrative of the US being the only country dealing with Covid? Maybe that's our leaders fault too.You say Germany isn't comparable to U.S.
Take the entire EU then. The population of the EU is actually 33% larger than the US, while the GDP is smaller by 15%.
Here's how the covid cases stack up:
Why the difference is a question you should be asking yourself. Canada and Japan are thrown in as well, both with curves similar to the EU.
There are step by step recommendations on how to mitigate the virus effects.
So the answer as to why the difference in EU and US lies in large part, to the fact that generally Europe had leaders that listened to their health experts.
Sadly our leader has not.
Total nonsense and fearmongering doesn't help us. Being constructive helps us.
As of this week, Japan has 988 Covid-19 deaths. USA has 140,630 Covid-19 deaths.
Not sure what your point is. I'm well aware children can be difficult. Even if no child keeps their mask on, adults wearing them makes kids safer.
Not my fault you couldn't answer basic questions about a position you stated so confidently. Things are complicated.
I stated they were my thoughts but you came back with a very constructive response. My apologies, I should have known better and bowed to the almighty Dem. I said I am not a Trump backer but Joe Biden is a POS as well. If I stated why I think that maybe it would not be constructive in your eyes. People hate Trump so much, and a lot of it is well deserved, but good 'ol racist hack Joe that has been in office for how many years is the answer. I will end with this, media and government are so corrupt that I firmly believe that something very bad will have to happen before this country turns a corner.
Well said, and no the wacko left won't listen. They're blinded by the hate they have for this country(and yet their still here, having done nothing to defend our way of life). Wait till they try to feed their families if they win---fail.
*guy who's been ranting that people who disagree with him politically are traitors and destroying the country*
Well what it doesn't mean is burning, looting and killing to bring a system of govt that has never worked in any other country in the world,EVER. You want to change things, go vote for things that don't destroy the best form of govt the world has ever known. Note we don't build walls to keep people in, you're all welcomed to leave if this is an intolerble system to you.
why did their cases spike. The graph on the post I was replying to had Japan flatlined. Why is Australia lockdown areas for the 2nd time. I thought locking down for 15 days was supposed to do the trick.. Reading posts here and watching the MSM you'd think we were the only ones dealing with Covid in July.
Didnt LA have multiple weeks of big protests and aren't they contemplating a 2nd stay at home order because of surging cases? They've been trending up since the end of June. Common sense tells us it had nothing to do with the protest though. I'm sure everyone stayed 6 ft apart and covered their nose and mouth with their mask at all times in between chants.
This is an extremist view. Most Americans don't feel this way, and very few hate this country. Your way of life will be fine, and so will we, unless we melt down from the stress.
And so are you, but please don't. We need all Hawk fans to stay put!
