Health Officials themselves stated countless of times in the first few months of the Pandemic... What we know today will change tomorrow...be prepared with changed health guidelines. The reason is because the virus is new and they were (still are) learning about it. For example, they still do not know if there will be any long term health impact on those that tested positive but only had mild symptoms or no symptoms. wrbtrader
Im not sure Fauci is a Democrat but his having a brain does make it more than likely to be so. It’s not about high moral ground, it’s about honesty. You want to spout off about corruption and politicians but you’re no better, are you. You love to do the thing you claim to hate. I winder how you process that. Do you even have the self awareness to be able to process that???
Dr. Fauci is not affiliated with any political party. Also, he has served under both Democrat and Republican Presidents. I can't remember what news channel it was but he was asked in an off topic manner if he was affiliated with a political party and he seemed irritated as if its a question he's gotten tired of answering... He stated he's not with any party. To Trump supporters...anyone that doesn't like Trump and listens to the health guidelines by Dr. Fauci...Fauci must be a Democrat when in reality they just don't like Trump. Trump was in a tough spot with Dr. Fauci because of Trump admitting in the Woodrow audio tapes multiple times that Trump was downplaying the Pandemic while at the same time health officials were trying to alert the American people about the danger. ------- Fauci has led the agency since 1984, serving under the administrations of four Republicans (Trump included) and two Democrats. "In my nearly five decades of public service, I have never publicly endorsed any political candidate," Fauci told CNN earlier this month after a Trump ad took one of his statements out of context. ------- wrbtrader
This is the primary reason of many why face mask wearing is suitable in a Pandemic involving infection that can be spread to others via a cough, sneezing, yelling and talking in close proximity of others. Many with Covid-19 do not know they are infected in the first several days of infection. If they wore a face mask...they will reduce the viral load when they are with others - Petri Dish test verification of such Yet, if someone is not social distancing but only wearing a face mask and nothing else...they are minimizing the usefulness of a face mask or vice versa. I won't bother to go into the fact that many that do wear a face mask...they're not wearing them appropriately or not wearing the appropriate face masks. In fact, I do remember many times in interviews with health officials... Wearing something is better than nothing. The problem with that is that many misunderstood that something like a hanky around the face or pulling down the face mask to have conversations with others was OK when its NOT. Then when they became infected with Covid-19...they obviously stated they wore a face mask and/or followed the guidelines. wrbtrader
Jem, None of us should get over it in the sense that we must always remember how important honesty in our Presidents is. We had a warning when he insisted Obama was born in Kenya and refused to drop it, even long after we all knew it was a lie and a fabrication. We were warned again when he bragged about grabbing Women "by their pussies". We were warned again when he told us he would build a Wall thousands of miles long and Mexico would pay for it. We were warned again when he claimed he couldn't release his tax returns because he was under audit We had yet another warning when he called for locking up his political opponent. We had many warnings; we ignored them all. Look at the result! We should have pulled the plug on that JACKASS long before he got the nomination. Look what dismissing these clear warnings has cost us.
They are much better at protecting the none wearer. And that's another reason why you should return the favor by also putting on a mask when in public. And they also work better when there is universal compliance at the first warning that an airborne infectious agent is headed your way. The circumstantial evidence is compelling! And that's yet another reason why everyone should wear masks when in public spaces. The dumbest thing anyone can do is to ignore science, put their brain on time-out, and allow a demagogue and sociopath to convince them that a deadly viral pandemic is hoax.
Jem, you really need to stop going down this road. (And the CDC too. And anyone else who follows this idea of who masks protect.) Let's follow this ideation logically.. If a mask does not protect the wearer, then why does anyone wear a mask? Remember, this is logic-talk. If wearing a mask does not protect you, who does it protect? Well, nobody, since everyone who wears a mask is not protected. Meanwhile, if someone spits at your mouth while you are not wearing a mask, is there a more, or less, chance that you will ingest any germs that person might have? Say...Herpes Simplex 1? If you had the mask on, would your chances be less that you would contract Herpes Simplex 1? Of course! It is a very virulent disease spread by droplets. Why does this logic not apply to COVID? 1) Wear a mask. Find one that is comfortable. 2.) Use hand sanitizer when you get back into your vehicle (if applicable) 3.) Wash your hands with warm soapy water when you get home. 3a.) Don't rub your eyeball while out in public. Simplest rules we can follow, and they are NON-INTRUSIVE. We don't need to lockdown the world for this shit. We just need to follow the simple fucking rules until this passes. My Lord, people are so fucking stupid. Go on, lick the door handles, and fuck the supermarket produce in the ass! OY!
To me the problem is with no central narrative now everyone sees the world from the point of view of their own social clique tree. I know no one that has died from the virus. All my friends just work remote. I mean the biggest sacrifice my friends and I have made is not taking our early trip to Mexico. Everyone is basically doing better now than in 2019. I am long past the age of going out to party at night. I don't need to find a mate. I don't have to worry about my parents or grandparents because they are already dead. Who cares about small business? I already was buying everything on Amazon. I am just happy I am smart enough to realize my clique tree is not the world. I can completely understand that if someone has lost a loved one they want to lockdown more. I can completely understand that if someone has lost a business they want to lockdown less. It makes me sad though as sometimes I feel like I am a rare super hero who has the name "No Social Media man". My super power is without using social media I am able to see the world as it is is while most live in a delusional dream world of their clique tree.
That's the intentional common theme among the Covid-Deniers and Anti-Face Mask folks... They continue stating that face mask do not protect the person wearing a face mask but they IGNORE the primary purpose of wearing a face mask... Wearing a face mask is to protect others from your bacteria viral load considering most people with Covid-19 infection will either be asymptomatic or just mild symptoms but highly infectious...they do not know they are infected early in the infection. Yet, face masks will be useless if a person does a Rudy Giuliani via blowing his nose in a hanky and then wiping his entire face with the same hanky...soon afterwards...begins shaking hands without using a hand sanitizer with others that wore a face mask or did not wear a face mask... Soon later, Rudy will test positive for Covid-19 and soon hospitalized. Warning: Video below is tough to watch. wrbtrader
All you can do is tell your friends and families to wear masks. it is necessary to take precautions rather than complaining about it.
