The merchants of lies, smears, and sensationalism. The alphabet networks are ALL-IN for the Marxist revolution, aka the fundamental transformation of the United States of America.
butbutbut...where's all these "case spikes" that we keep hearing about??
Sure, we're seeing some cases go up. But, even my 83 year old mother (who lives in Florida) is smart enough to realize that a) more testing inherently means more cases because it identifies otherwise-asymptomatic patients, and b) the VAST majority of these "new" cases are in the low-risk age group of 30-45 years old.
Wheee.
We knew that opening back up would create a blip - it's logical.
Cuomo, the governor of nursing home mass death says people from Texas will need to self-quarantine for 14 days if they travel to NY. This is because Texas has seen a rise in confirmed cases.
EEA stands for the European Economic Area. It is the EU plus the UK (the old EU), along with Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. It's data is reported by the ECDC (see reference on chart), the European CDC. Population is around 515 million.
But as far as the virus stats go, it's essentially equivalent to the old EU (27 countries) before Brexit.
second most importantly, to reassure others that I'm responsible. Or sheeplike, if you think I'm an obedient drone. ( note 1 )
Primarily to guard against spittle, sneezes, coughs, to a very limited degree. I have a beard so my own well washed hair is really the filter media.
My mask use is a balance between reassuring clerks in stores that I'm no threat, and actually protective gear. ( note 2 )
(1) being polite doesn't prevent being willing or ready to defend against violence. It just fools idiots into underestimating you.
(2) absolute protection requires serious protocols, see above editorial. You're playing the odds with anything less. So play the odds intelligently. Clean your gear so it doesn't stink. Don't crowd strangers. Avoid crowds. Wash hands and grab points, ( steering wheel, etc. ) as soon as you return to car. ( alcohol )
Seriously, the best results from the masks most people wear is to remind you not to rub your eyes, nose and mouth.
I am tired of the mask skeered, the mask fear monger, and above all the mask holier than thou.
Agree 1,000%
I am so SICK of hearing how we need to be scared, and we need to stay home, and we need to wear masks if we step out of the house, and how now Just Joe is going to "federally mandate" mask-wearing in public if he gets elected.
