Where did them mask come from? You trust 'em? People in Fl won't stay home. Won't make a garden. Won't watch their distance with other people. Won't stop going to bars and restaurants..won't this ..won't that...so now they got to live with their decisions. Don't blame Mr T. It is the people.
I have two cotton masks and yes I do trust good old cotton, wherever it was grown and sewn together in another country. Same as most (likely all) of my clothes. Although I did lol first consider gargling with clorox as a first line of defense. But people in FL won't ... because OrangeMan jr in Tallahassee won't mandate and enforce it, like states up north did. Otherwise how do you explain numbers dropping in states that did this?
Uh.....you might want to look into Hong Kong, Thailand, various provinces in China, Australia (Melbourne) before you jump to that conclusion.
We were told by the WHO that it 'doesn't transmit from human to human.' Then it was, 'there is no need for a mask.' (Fauci) Then it was, well there is no reason to believe it will come here, based upon SARS. (CDC) So there is all of that I suppose.
It's a little late for the blame game...China, WHO, Trump, Governors, Hospitals... How they get up will either save more or kill more. Regardless, its a constant changing landscape when new diseases enter the global population. What you know today will be different tomorrow and what you know tomorrow will be different than what you know next month. It usually takes about one year before global health officials can unanimously agree on commonalities that's easily supported by statistics. I remember when the CDC (not the WHO) first notice HIV in young gay white males. Like wild fire in the news media...only gays can get HIV. Soon after that it was reported as a cancer. It took about one year before they knew all the facts about how it was spread and that it was in the global blood supply. In fact, it took them about 1 1/2 years to realize that infants can become infected with HIV even through a heterosexual mother. That's when the fear went to a new level...very fast. wrbtrader
Oh, so its all politics. You are probably one of the truly enlightened inclusive people out there thay preach 'tolerance', but only for those that agree w/ you. Also, look at the worst hit: NYC, LA, SF, Chicago.....all bastions of conservative values I am sure. But its ok, because "My gang better than yours." Anyway: Anyone else find it odd that nobody on this forum can do statistical analysis? The rate of death is minute to say the least. Also, if it is so contagious, they will be NO STOPPING IT. Also, look how much NYC was locked down, and where I live in Ohio, we have been seeing varying degrees of lock downs. Its all bullshit quite frankly. The only thing that is consistently dying is the businesses out there. Anyway, back to life, I don't have time to live in fear. I am not sure exactly which one of you plan on living forever, but I have bad news for you...
