    We shouldn't call it the China Virus anymore, since Trump said yesterday that the Chinese kept it out of China.

    Although mechanistic studies support the potential effect of hand hygiene or face masks, evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.

    There you have it. The science is out. Masks and hand washing don't work to curb this thing.

    Straight from the CDCs webside. To say masks work is being a science denier. Biden going around with a mask on is a science denier. He doesn't believe that the CDC study knows what its talking about so he wears a mask everywhere. Are you going to vote for a science denier?

    So your evidence is a paper from China written by post-doc student created in February of 2020 posted for policy review on the CDC EID journal website in May of 2020. A paper with no peer review or approval. This is really the best you can come up with.

    Influenza is not the same as COVID from what I have learned.

    The reason I learned this is that I have not suffered from influenza, or rhinovirus, or any of the sort, for over a decade at least. I got my flu vaccine shots each year around Thanksgiving. Including last year.

    Then I got the COVID In Feb this year. It was the worst illness I had since I contracted mono when I was a tot. It is real, it will fuck you in the ass, and it is no joke. So now I...

    1.) Wear a mask when going out in public.

    2. ) Use hand sanitizer when getting back into my vehicle (if applicable).

    3. ) Wash my hands with warm soapy water when I get home.

    3a.) Don't poke or rub my eye while out in public.

    Easy peasy, Ron Weasley!

    The science proved the effectiveness of safety precautions many months ago. I don't know why some of you choose to remain willfully ignorant on an issue that can potentially be a life or death issue. If you want to vote for a science denier well Trump's certainly your guy. The fact he got the disease was hospitalized now back to denying it's a threat just illustrates that he's bat shit crazy just wants to "win". Psychopaths often crave power and control over others.

    Let's see what the CDC actually recommends....

    CDC issues ‘strong recommendation’ for mask mandate on airplanes, trains
    https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/20/cdc...ion-for-mask-mandate-on-airplanes-trains.html
    • The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday issued a “strong recommendation” that all passengers and employees on airplanes, trains, subways, buses, taxis and ride-share vehicles should wear masks to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
    • The interim guidance also calls for facial coverings at transportation hubs like airports and train stations.
    • Airlines, Amtrak and most public transit systems and U.S. airports already require all passengers and workers to wear facial coverings, as do most airports, and ride-sharing firms Uber and Lyft.
    The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday issued a “strong recommendation” that all passengers and employees on airplanes, trains, subways, buses, taxis and ride-share vehicles should wear masks to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

    The interim guidance also calls for facial coverings at transportation hubs like airports and train stations.

    “Broad and routine utilization of masks on our transportation systems will protect Americans and provide confidence that we can once again travel more safely even during this pandemic,” the CDC said.

    Airlines, Amtrak and most public transit systems and U.S. airports already require all passengers and workers to wear facial coverings, as do most airports, and ride-sharing firms Uber and Lyft.

    But the White House in July opposed language in a bill before Congress that would have mandated all airline, train and public transit passengers and workers to wear masks. The White House did not immediately comment on the CDC recommendation.

    In July, the White House Office of Management and Budget said legislation requiring masks was “overly restrictive.” It added that “such decisions should be left to states, local governments, transportation systems, and public health leaders.”

    The CDC said transport operators should ensure all passengers and employees wear masks “for the duration of travel” and should provide information to “people purchasing tickets or otherwise booking transportation” on the need to wear masks, as well as where possible making masks available.

    It said transit operators could exempt children under two or people with written instructions from a medical provider.

    The U.S. Travel Association praised the CDC guidance. “There simply cannot be an economic and jobs recovery unless travel is able to broadly resume, and the universal embrace of mask-wearing and other hygiene measures is the thing that is going to enable that to happen,” the group said.

    U.S. airlines have collectively banned hundreds of flyers for failing to wear masks after they began requiring masks in April.

    Airlines for America, a trade group representing major airlines, said the “face-covering requirement along with enhanced disinfection practices and health acknowledgement forms are key components in our multi-layered approach to protecting the well-being of our employees and the traveling public.”
