  1. "Whether you like the mask or not, they have an impact," Mr. Trump said on Tuesday. He later added that he "will use it gladly, no problem with it."

    I don't see anyone without a mask in the grocery store here. Its mandated so I think they can just throw you out.

    I was on the phone today with the title company in Florida setting up my remote escrow closing and they said that masks were mandated there and everyone was wearing them indoors in public or commercial spaces. Not sure how that is any different than here.

    Btw whomever told me to leave my N95 in a window to get some UV... that worked really well.

    This show has been fun for four years now ... and if Dear Leader gets re-elected, Dotard & fans' USA, Act II; should be a gutbuster. Like his hero predecessor said, he'll "have more leeway."

    But, why would any real wo/man hang their hat on the words of a clown? Clowns always waffle.

    Huh? You got an electron microscope on that boat you're living on? How do you know that, for real?

    You think that should be fun.... I already "trolled" B1 with his non-stop "the pandemic ended in April" with a quote from the great DJT himself today...

    "Our goal is to not just control the pandemic, its to end the pandemic."

    Here is CDC guidance on masks when dealing with the flu. It's only been with CCP Virus that they are trying to alter their position on masks. Likely due to political pressure---

    https://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/infectioncontrol/maskguidance.htm

    Unvaccinated Asymptomatic Persons, Including Those at High Risk for Influenza Complications
    No recommendation can be made at this time for mask use in the community by asymptomatic persons, including those at high risk for complications, to prevent exposure to influenza viruses. If unvaccinated high-risk persons decide to wear masks during periods of increased respiratory illness activity in the community, it is likely they will need to wear them any time they are in a public place and when they are around other household members.

    We all know masks don't prevent infection, they help prevent the spread.
    Did you read the paragraph above that one?

    If such symptomatic persons cannot stay home during the acute phase of their illness, consideration should be given to having them wear a mask in public places when they may have close contact with other persons.

    Also the virus is different... Quite a bit more killy plus countries that have a habit of using them have done really well. Americans are dirty people, few even take their shoes off entering a home.
